Rice Lake SCT-40 Signal Conditioning Transmitter – Multi-Channel DIN Rail Weight
The Rice Lake SCT-40 Signal Conditioning Transmitter is a high-performance digital weight transmitter designed for industrial weighing, process control, and PLC integration applications. Featuring support for up to eight independent load cell channels, the SCT-40 provides accurate signal conditioning and reliable communication in a compact DIN-rail mounted package.
Engineered for seamless integration into automation systems, the SCT-40 converts load cell signals into analog, serial, or fieldbus outputs while providing advanced calibration and diagnostic capabilities. The backlit graphic LCD display allows operators to monitor weight, calibration settings, configuration parameters, and system error conditions directly from the transmitter.
The SCT-40 supports multiple communication options including RS-485, RS-232, Modbus RTU, DeviceNet®, PROFIBUS®, EtherNet/IP™, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP, making it an ideal solution for manufacturing, material handling, batching, tank weighing, and process control applications.
Designed for industrial environments, the SCT-40 includes digital inputs and outputs, theoretical and real-weight calibration functions, push-button or preset tare operation, and advanced diagnostics for enhanced system reliability and performance.

Prime Scales is a well-known brand of weighing equipment under Prime Systems Group, a leading manufacturer of data process equipment and industrial automation.
Prime Scales is a licensed scale agent. We can issue official calibration certification.
Prime Scales has 24/7 customer support with real in-house person helping our clients.
Why choosing Prime Scales?
We build very good quality scales. And our value is way beyond this.
Why do we need a scale? Scale is a tool. People use it to get the weight information of themselves, their livestock, their pets, their shipments, their products etc. The weight data is what people really need and our scales deliver the true information to their users. We at Prime Scales make it easier and better for our clients to collect, store, calculate and share the weight data. For example the livestock scale listed here: will it be better if the scale records the animal's weight automatically into an Excel file? We have a desktop software called Prime Interface to do this job. We are developing another software called "Prime Station" to store the information in the cloud server to be shared securely with doctors anywhere in the world. The Prime Station software will be available in July, 2020. The good news is: both softwares are Free for our clients. We make the application softwares in order to make our scales easier to use.
All our scales are scalable. If you purchase it now, it will be compatible with all the peripherals and softwares available now and in the future.
