With the digital C16i load cell and the TRADE® PC software, HBM provides a digital weighing system solution offering clear advantages over a conventional solution.

• Facilitated off-center load compensation with platform weighing machines: comfortable and error-free sensitivity balance via software command; no soldering in of resistors etc.
• Enhanced maintenance options: TRADE® makes the weighing system transparent right through to the load cell thus rendering diagnosis easier and more reliable even remotely via phone.
• Reduces hardware required: no weighing indicator nor alibi printer necessary.
• Lower noise sensitivity: digital signal transmission.

The custom designed TRADE® software – PTB test certificate D09-00.34 – which is admissible for verification enables measured data to be displayed and stored accordingly. Furthermore, a DDE interface is available for data exchange with other programs. The only thing the scales manufacturer has to do is to reset his logistics software that communicates with commercially available weighing indicators to the TRADE® software from HBM.

The C16i digital load cell has the same dimensions as the analog C16a version. Therefore, no mechanical modifications are required when retrofitting the scales.
