Cardinal's "ican" Intelligent Junction Box
ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
Cardinal's iCan system provides a digitally-controlled, high-performance weighing and diagnostic environment for your scale where every step from installation to operation to maintenance is not only simplified, but closely monitored by the latest ISP flash micro-controller-based circuitry and reported using advanced internationally standardized CAN serial bus. What this means is the cost of ownership for your scale just got smaller since system faults are automatically detected and reported, resulting in less downtime and fewer service calls.











DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY IN THE BOX
The iCan diagnostic display provides a scale-side weight indicator where the scale technician is working thus saving them time going back and forth to the indicator which saves you service call money. The on-board display provides a 6-digit display of load cell millivolt output, weight, and total scale weight while a single character identifies the load cell source. The iCan system controller module is housed in a IP66/NEMA 4X junction box and is connected to the 788 indicator with transient-free plastic fiber optic cable, twisted-pair copper wire, or optional glass fiber optic cable.






CARDINAL'S 788 PROGRAMMABLE INDICATOR
The 788 indicator provides on-screen viewing of individual load cell report data, ensuring quick and concise information on your scale's performance. Cardinal's patented SmartCal® feature allows quick single-pass calibration without the need for manual adjustments. iCan's diagnostic software automatically identifies and reports potential problems before they can interrupt your weighing operations.















REMOTE MONITORING OF SCALE PERFORMANCE
Cardinal's iSite software and hardware facilitates electronic communications from dealer or support locations to iCan scale sites. The communications can be performed via network TCP/IP connections, direct serial port connections, or dial-up modem connections.

Status reports may be electronically requested from each iCan site at any time. These reports include weight information and millivolt readings for each load cell of each scale. An automatic request feature may be used to obtain new status reports from a site automatically at a specified interval.

iSite software automatically updates a summary report for each site as individual reports are requested. The summary report for a site provides quick comparison of load cell readings over the history of the site, and may be opened with Excel® to allow further analysis or graphing of the data.
