Sigfox Loadcell Junction Box for balance monitoring

Load Cell Balance
Monitoring

Our intelligent IoT-enabled junction box replaces traditional passive junction boxes with remote monitoring capabilities. Interfacing between load cells and weighing amplifiers, this device transmits balance status data every 30 minutes via Sigfox to a ThingsBoard cloud dashboard while maintaining complete signal integrity.

The transparent pass-through design preserves existing calibration—zero disruption to your certified weighing system. Get early detection of load cell imbalances before they become costly failures.

View Technical Details

Technical Architecture

  • 4-channel load cell monitoring
  • 30-minute transmission intervals
  • Signal pass-through design
  • Dual power modes (10V/24V)
  • IP65-rated enclosure
  • DIN rail mount compatible

Core Components

  • STM32L431CC ARM Cortex-M4
  • 4× INA126 instrumentation amps
  • LSM100A Sigfox module (868 MHz)
  • High-impedance signal tapping
  • 12-bit ADC sampling
  • 3.3V internal regulation

Cloud Integration

  • ThingsBoard dashboard
  • Real-time balance status
  • Trend visualisation graphs
  • Configurable imbalance alerts
  • Historical data export
  • 48 messages/day capacity

Key Advantages

  • Replaces passive junction boxes
  • Zero calibration disruption
  • Remote balance monitoring
  • Early imbalance detection
  • Preserves existing calibration
  • Minimal maintenance required

How It Works

The Sigfox Load Cell Junction Box sits between your load cells and weighing amplifier, continuously monitoring the mV/V output from each channel. Using high-impedance signal tapping, it reads differential voltages without affecting calibration. Every 30 minutes, balance data is transmitted via Sigfox to ThingsBoard, where operators can view real-time status, historical trends, and receive alerts for any detected imbalances.
