Bluetooth solution
September 1st 2005

Wireless communication is considered a key technology trend.

It eliminates connection problems in areas where mobile weighing is required and conventional installation is out of the question due, for example, to contaminated environments or clean rooms.

Sartorius offers solutions based on Bluetooth radio technology. Its new interface modules,(YBT01 for connection to the Sartorius RS- 232C communications port, YDO01-BT for connection to the UniCOM port on Combics industrial scales, and YBT02 for connection to a USB port on a PC or laptop), enable wireless data communication and transfer of commands as easily as connection by a standard cable.

Bluetooth radio technology offers a comprehensive solution for fast, easy communication between PCs and peripherals and between indicators and digital weighing platforms. Sartorius says it is an ideal substitute for cable connections and IR interfaces that impose a line-of-sight requirement.

Installation is simple as the Sartorius interface modules obviate the need for RS-232 or RS-485 cables, eliminating installation costs, maintenance and level converters.
