WFC

Hasler controller

WFC, le contrôleur électronique simplifé HASLER
Logo de la marque Hasler

The WFC is used for HASLER® SIMPLE weight beltfeeders

The WFC (Weight Feeder Controller) is a single feeder control module to acquire and process feeder inputdata, command signals and to pilot the motor drive unit.

Feeder and Control Module - All in one

  • Communication with host system through various integrated protocols
  • Easy commissioning
  • Multilingual including : EN, FR, DE, SP, IT, PO, CN, RU
  • Help on alarm information directly on the LCD screen
  • Advanced filtering on weight load cell
  • Easy connection of maintenance terminal through ethernet (RJ45)
  • Two mounting possibilities are supported FIELD and PANEL
  • Less cabling on site with FIELD version

Configuration and maintenance software allowing

  • Website server for maintenance
  • Read & Write of parameters saved by SD Card
  • Diagnostics (data acquisition, trend graphic recorder, etc.)
  • Remote maintenance

Communication with the Host Sytem

  • Modbus TCP (Ethernet)
  • Modbus RTU (RS422)
  • Profi bus DP (RS485)·

Examples of mounting

WFC and Frequency Inverter
in remote location (electrical cabinet)

Feeder with on-board WFC
and Frequency Inverter

Cell connections

Analog load-cellDigital load-cellAnalog strain-gauge load cell (through converter) in 4 or 6 wires (up to 1 million points resolution)

Digital load-cell (1 million points) i.e. SFT

In any case, fast weight acquisition and adjustable digital filter allows to compensate structural vibrations
