ABSTRACT:
A weighing and packing system is provided having excellent quick response to control information and capable of easily adding and changing hardware. A weighing driving section 12 is provided on each weighing unit 11 forming a combination scale of a weighing system 121. The weighing driving section 12 is formed by a CPU board 13, motor drivers 14 and 15 for driving stepping motors 18 and 19, a load cell 20, an A/D converter 16, and a feeder driver 17 for driving a feeder 21. The CPU board 13 is connected to a LAN cable 23 through a LAN interface 22. An interface board 89 having a first interface 85 is connected to the LAN cable 23, which are connected to a second interface 84 provided on a packing control section 82 on a packing system 122 side through four parallel signal lines. In addition, a weighing control unit 26 for giving control information is provided on the weighing driving section 12 of the weighing unit 11. The weighing control unit 26 is connected to the LAN cable 23 and is connected to the packing control section 82 through a serial line 32b.
