SC-1200 Sensor Concentrator
The SC-1200 is a sensor interface which can communicate simultaneously with up to twelve digital load cells or digital interfaces with UART output. Load cells supported include the iLoad, iLoad TR and iLoad Pro Series Digital load cells and any Resistive Load Cell or sensor that is mated with a DI-100U 16-bit USB Load Cell Interface.
The SC-1200 is available in a wired configuration - as the SC-1200U - and works via USB output, and is available in a wireless configuration as the SC-1200Z and uplinks directly to the host PC through a wireless module built into it and a wireless receiver plugged into a PC, Mac or Linux computer.

Compatible Load Cells
Multiple SC-1200s can be daisy-chained together to form a sensor network farm of up to 3000 load cells. One power adapter needs to be plugged in to the first SC-1200 unit. Then this first unit can power a satellite unit which can power another satellite unit etc. Up to five SC-1200 devices can be thus powered by just one power outlet. Only a single downlink receiver on the host PC is needed to access any or all sensor data in the farm!

The figure above shows twelce StockVUE digital scales with UART/USB output connected to a single SC-1200Z. The SC-1200Z powers and communicates with up to twelve sensors or interfaces and gathers data from all of them and outputs it via USB or XBee (802.15.4) wireless protocol. The data upload can happen as fast as once every 10 to 15 seconds or about 1 Hz per channel.
