The BX13 from BAYKON Industrial Weighing Systems is a dedicated automatic gravimetric filling controller engineered for high-speed dispensing and packing operations. Housed in a compact panel-mount aluminium enclosure with a stainless steel front panel and large LED display, it is built to perform reliably in demanding industrial environments. OIML R61 and R76 approval confirms its suitability for legal-for-trade filling applications.

What filling modes does the BX13 support?

The BX13 provides a versatile set of filling sequences to handle different materials and container types. Four modes cover open-container filling — including under-bung and bottom-fill configurations for liquids — while a fifth mode handles high-viscosity materials that require slower, controlled flow. Two additional modes are dedicated to packing and bagging machines, including weigh-in-and-empty sequences. This breadth of modes allows a single controller to run liquid drum filling, bulk bag filling, and granular packing stations without reprogramming.

How does electronic calibration simplify commissioning and maintenance?

The BX13 features eCal — electronic calibration that sets up the weighing channel without test weights — and sCal for span-only adjustment. This is particularly valuable for large hoppers, silos, and tanks where placing physical test weights is impractical or unsafe. Calibration can be performed entirely through the front-panel interface or via serial communication, significantly reducing downtime during commissioning, periodic verification, and load cell replacement.

What fieldbus and PLC integration options are available?

Modbus RTU over RS232 and RS485 is standard on every BX13. Optional fieldbus interfaces include Ethernet TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, Profibus, Profinet, CANopen, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, CC-Link, and Powerlink — covering the major PLC platforms from Siemens, Rockwell, Beckhoff, and Mitsubishi. The BX13-EN variant adds a built-in web server for remote monitoring, parameter adjustment, and diagnostics from any PC with a browser.
