Product Overview

The IM01.EX-1 is a communication module designed to extend the interface capabilities of RADWAG's HX5.EX series weighing terminals. Installed outside the hazardous area, the IM01.EX-1 connects to the terminal through an intrinsically safe RS485 interface, ensuring both safe and compliant data exchange between the terminal and external devices.

This module is essential for integrating EX-rated weighing systems into larger industrial automation or IT infrastructures, offering multiple additional communication options including Ethernet, USB, RS232, analog outputs, and digital inputs/outputs. With its robust, ATEX-compliant design, the IM01.EX-1 is suitable for use in regulated and safety-critical environments, enabling seamless process control and system integration while maintaining full compliance with international safety directives.

Ideal for applications in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, the IM01.EX-1 supports communication with devices such as barcode scanners, printers, external displays, PLCs, and industrial controllers. Its modular architecture allows you to scale your system as needed by selecting the appropriate interface configuration.
