 CONTINUOUS FAST WEIGHT TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL - Only for BASE program

This protocol allows the continuous transmission of the weight at high update frequencies. Up to 300
strings per second are transmitted with a minimum transmission rate of 38400 baud.
Following communication modes availables (see section SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTINGS in
instrument manual):
: communication compatible with TX RS485 instruments
: communication compatible with TD RS485 instruments

If  is set, the following string is transmitted to PC/PLC:

xxxxxxCRLF

where: xxxxxx ...... 6 characters of gross weight (48  57 ASCII)

CR ................ 1 character return to the start (13 ASCII)
LF ................ 1 character on new line (10 ASCII)

In case of negative weight, the first character from the left of the weight characters takes on the value
“-” (minus sign - ASCII 45).

In case of error or alarm, the 6 characters of the weight are substituted by the messages
found in the table of the ALARMS section (see the instrument manual).

If  is set, the following string is transmitted to PC/PLC:

&TzzzzzzPzzzzzz\ckckCR

where: &................... 1 initial string character (38 ASCII)

T................... 1 character of gross weight identification
P................... 1 character of gross weight identification
zzzzzz ...... 6 characters of gross weight (48  57 ASCII)
\................... 1 character of separation (92 ASCII)
ckck ........... 2 ASCII control characters or calculated considering the characters included
between “&” and “\” excluded. The control value is obtained executing the XOR
operation (exclusive OR) for the 8 bit ASCII codes of the characters considered.
Therefore, a character expressed in hexadecimal is obtained with 2 numbers
that may assume values from “0” to “9” and from “A” to “F”. “ckck” is the ASCII
code of the two hexadecimal digits
CR ................ 1 character of end string (13 ASCII)

In case of negative weight, the first character from the left of the weight characters takes on the value
“-” (minus sign - ASCII 45).
In case of error or alarm, the 6 characters of the gross weight are substituted by the messages
found in the table of the ALARMS section (see the instrument manual).

FAST TRANSMISSION VIA EXTERNAL CONTACT: it’s possible to transmit the weight, just once,
even closing an input for no more than a second (see OUTPUTS AND INPUTS CONFIGURATION
and SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTINGS sections in in strument manual).

 CONTINUOUS WEIGHT TRANSMISSION TO REMOTE DISPLAYS PROTOCOL

This protocol allows the continuous weight transmission to remote displays. The communication string
is transmitted 10 times per second.
Following communication modes availables (see SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTINGS section in
instrument manual):
- : communication with RIP5/20/60, RIP50SHA, RIPLED series remote displays; the remote
display shows the net weight or gross weight according to its settings
- : communication with RIP6100, RIP675, RIP6125C series remote displays; the remote
display shows the net weight or gross weight according to its settings
- : communication with RIP6100, RIP675, RIP6125C series remote displays

The instrument sends the following string to the remote display:

&NxxxxxxLyyyyyy\ckckCR

where: &................... 1 initial string character (38 ASCII)

N................... 1 character of net weight identification (78 ASCII)
xxxxxx ...... 6 characters of net weight or PEAK if present (48  57 ASCII)
L................... 1 character of gross weight identification (76 ASCII)
yyyyyy ...... 6 characters of gross weight (48  57 ASCII)
\................... 1 character of separation (92 ASCII)
ckck ........... 2 ASCII checksum characters calculated considering the characters between
“&” and “\” excluded. The checksum value is obtained from the calculation of
XOR (exclusive OR) of the 8-bit ASCII codes of the characters considered. This
obtains a character expressed in hexadecimals with two digits that can have
the values from “0” to “9” and from ”A” to “F”. “ckck” is the ASCII code of the
two hexadecimal digits
CR ................ 1 character of end string (13 ASCII)

In case of negative weight, the first character from the left of the weight characters takes on the value
“-” (minus sign - ASCII 45).
If  has been set, the decimal point at the position shown on the instrument's display can also
be transmitted. In this case, if the value exceeds 5 digits, only the 5 most significant digits are
transmitted, while if the value is negative, no more than the 4 most significant digits are transmitted.
In both cases, however, the decimal point shifts consistently with the value to display.
If  has been set, in addition to what stated in  protocol, the instrument transmits the
prompt  every 4 seconds in the gross weight field, if on the instrument, it has been carried out a
net operation (see SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE (NET/GROSS) section in instrument manual).
In case of weight value is under -99999, the minus sign “-” is sent alternated with the most significant
figure.
In case of error or alarm, the 6 characters of the gross weight and net weight are substituted
by the messages found in the table of the ALARMS section (see the instrument manual).

- incorrect reception: &&aa?\ckckCR
- the gross weight is not displayed on the instrument: &aa#CR

where: xxxxxx ...... 6 characters to indicate the required weight value

t................... character to indicate the weight (116 ASCII)

Example: zeroing the weight of the instrument with address 2

For the calibration you have to make sure that the system is unloaded or that the instrument measures
a signal equal to the mV in the same condition:
query: $02z78(Cr)
response: &02000000t\76(Cr)

-7-
If the zeroing works correctly the instrument sends the zeroed weight value (“000000”).

The calibration values are stored permanently in the EEPROM memory and the
number of allowed writings is limited (about 100000).

8. REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHT)

After the tare zero-setting, this function allow the operator to check the calibration obtained
by using sample weights and correct automatically any change between the displayed value
and the actual one.

Load onto the weighing system a sample weight, which must be at least 50% of the full scale, or make
so that that the instrument measures a corresponding mV signal.

The PC transmits the ASCII string: $aasxxxxxxckckCR

where: s................... calibration command (115 ASCII)

xxxxxx ...... 6 characters to indicate the value of sample weight (negative values are not
allowed).

Possible instrument responses:

- correct reception: &aaxxxxxxt\ckckCR
- incorrect reception or full scale equal to zero: &&aa?\ckckCR

where: t................... character of gross weight identification (116 ASCII)

xxxxxx ...... 6 characters to indicate the value of current weight

In case of correct reception, the read value has to be equal to the sample weight.

Example: calibration of the instrument no. 1 with a sample weight of 20000 kg:
query: $01s02000070(Cr)
response: &01020000t\77(Cr)

In case of correct calibration, the read value has to be “020000”.

9. KEYPAD LOCK (BLOCK THE ACCESS TO THE INSTRUMENT)

The PC transmits the ASCII string: $aaKEYckckCR

Possible instrument responses:

- correct reception: &&aa!\ckckCR
- incorrect reception: &&aa?\ckckCR

-8-
10. KEYPAD UNLOCK

The PC transmits the ASCII string: $aaFREckckCR

Possible instrument responses:

- correct reception: &&aa!\ckckCR
- incorrect reception: &&aa?\ckckCR

11. DISPLAY AND KEYPAD LOCK

The PC transmits the ASCII string: $aaKDISckckCR

Possible instrument responses:

- correct reception: &&aa!\ckckCR
- incorrect reception: &&aa?\ckckCR

12. CHECK-SUM CALCULATION

The two ASCII characters (ckck) are the representation of a hexadecimal digit in ASCII characters.
The check digit is calculated by executing the operation of XOR (exclusive OR) of 8-bit ASCII codes
of only the string underlined.

The procedure to perform the calculation of check-sum is the following:

- Consider only the string characters highlighted with underlining
- Calculate the exclusive OR (XOR) of 8-bit ASCII codes of the characters

Example:
character decimal ASCII code hexadecimal ASCII code binary ASCII code
0 48 30 00110000
1 49 31 00110001
t 116 74 01110100
XOR = 117 75 01110101

- The result of the XOR operation expressed in hexadecimal notation is made up of 2 hexadecimal digit
(that is, numbers from 0 to 9 and/or letters from A to F). In this case the hexadecimal code is 0x75.
- The checksum is made up of the 2 characters that represent the result of the XOR operation in
hexadecimal notation (in our example the character "7" and the character "5").

 MODBUS-RTU PROTOCOL

The MODBUS-RTU protocol allows the management of the reading and writing of the following
registries according to the specifications found on the reference document for this Modicon PI-MBUS-
300 standard.

To select the MODBUS-RTU communication see SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTINGS section in

instrument manual.

Check if the master MODBUS-RTU in use (or the development tool) requires the disclosure of
registers based on 40001 or 0. In the first case the registers numbering corresponds to the one in the
table; in the second case the register must be determined as the value in the table minus 40001. E.g.:
the register 40028 shall be reported as 27 (= 40028-40001).

Certain data, when specifically indicated, will be written directly in the EEPROM type memory. This
memory has a limited number of writing operations (100000), therefore it is necessary to pay particular
attention to not execute useless operations on said locations. The instrument in any case makes sure
that no writing occurs if the value to be memorised is equal to the value in memory.

The numerical data found below are expressed in decimal notation; if the prefix 0x is entered the
notation will be hexadecimal.

MODBUS-RTU DATA FORMAT

The data received and transmitted by way of the MODBUS-RTU protocol have the following
characteristics:
- 1 start bit
- 8 bit of data, least significant bit sent first
- Settable parity bit
- Settable stop bit

FUNCTIONS SUPPORTED IN MODBUS

Among the commands available in the MODBUS-RTU protocol, only the following are utilised for
management of communication with the instruments; other commands could be incorrectly interpreted
and generate errors or blocks of the system:

FUNCTIONS DESCRIPTION
03 (0x03) READ HOLDING REGISTER (READ PROGRAMMABLE REGISTERS)
16 (0x10) PRESET MULTIPLE REGISTERS (WRITE MULTIPLE REGISTERS)

Interrogation frequency is linked to the communication speed set (the instrument stands by for at least
3 bytes before starting calculations an eventual response to the interrogation query). The 
parameter present in the

- 10 -
SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTING section in the instrument manual, allows the instrument to
respond with a further delay and this directly influences the number of interrogations possible in the
unit of time.
For additional information on this protocol refer to the general technical specifications
PI_MBUS_300.

In general queries and answers toward and from one slave instrument are composed as follows:

FUNCTION 3: Read holding registers (READ PROGRAMMABLE REGISTERS)

QUERY
Address Function 1st register address No. registers 2 byte
A 0x03 0x0000 0x0002 CRC
Tot. byte = 8

RESPONSE
Address Function No. bytes 1st register 2nd register 2 byte
A 0x03 0x04 0x0064 0x00C8 CRC
Tot. byte = 3+2*No. registers+2

where: No. registers .. number of Modbus registers to write beginning from the address no. 1
No. byte ........ number of bytes of the following data

FUNCTION 16: Preset multiple registers (WRITE MULTIPLE REGISTERS)

QUERY
Address Function 1st reg. add. No. reg. No. bytes Val.reg.1 Val.reg.2 2 byte
A 0x10 0x0000 0x0002 0x04 0x0000 0x0000 CRC
Tot. byte = 7+2*No. registers+2

RESPONSE
Address Function 1st reg. address No. reg. 2 byte
A 0x10 0x0000 0x0002 CRC
Tot. byte = 8

where: No. registers .. number of Modbus registers to read beginning from the address no. 1
No. byte ........ number of bytes of the following data
Val.reg.1 ....... contents of the register beginning from the first

The response contains the number of registers modified beginning from the address no. 1.

- 11 -
 COMMUNICATION ERROR MANAGEMENT

The communication strings are controlled by way of the CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check).
In case of communication error the slave will not respond with any string. The master must consider
a time-out for reception of the answer. If it does not receive an answer it deduces that there has been
a communication error.

In the case of the string received correctly but not executable, the slave responds with an
EXCEPTIONAL RESPONSE. The "Function" field is transmitted with the msb at 1.

EXCEPTIONAL RESPONSE
Address Function Code 2 byte
A Funct + 0x80 CRC

CODE DESCRIPTION
1 ILLEGAL FUNCTION (the function is not valid or is not supported)
2 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS (the specified data address is not available)
3 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE (the data received has an invalid value)

LIST OF AVAILABLE REGISTERS

The MODBUS-RTU protocol implemented on this instrument can manage a maximum of 32

registers read and written in a single query or response.

R ................... the register may only be read

**) The instrument features Exchange Registers, which must be used together with the
Command Register in order to access these values. These are the procedures to follow:
- READING: send the desired datum reading command (e.g.: 132 for “PTARE1 reading”) to
the Command Register and read the content of 40051 and 40052 Exchange Registers.
- WRITING: write the value that you want to set in 40051 and 40052 Exchange Registers
and send the desired datum writing command (e.g.: 135 for “PTARE2 writing”) to the
Command Register.
***) Only for WTAB-L/R.
^) For commands from 2000 to 2999 refer to CONSTANTS AND FORMULAS READING AND
WRITING section.
^^) In case of alarm signals during the batching, send the command 205 to accept the alarm and
stop the batching; in the particular case of  alarm, it is possible to ignore the alarm and
continue the batching by sending the command 207; for the  alarm it is possible to
ignore the alarm and continue the batching by sending the command 206.

If it is necessary to execute the same command twice consecutively, send command 0

between the first command and the following one.

ANALOG OUTPUT SETTING

Write the weight into registers “Weight value corresponding to the full scale of the analog output H”
(40069) and “Weight value corresponding to the full scale of the analog output L” (40070), otherwise
write the weight into registers “Weight value corresponding to ZERO of the analog output H” (40067)
and “Weight value corresponding to ZERO of the analog output L” (40068).

- 20 -
 REAL CALIBRATION COMMANDS (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)

- Unload the system and reset to zero the displayed weight value with the command 100 “TARE
WEIGHT ZERO SETTING for calibration” of the Command Register.
- Load a sample weight on the system and send its value to the registers 40065-40066.
- To save the first sample weight value and remove the previously saved values, send the command
101 “Save first sample weight for calibration” to the Command Register;
- To store a sample weight value and keep the previously saved values, send the command 106
“Add sample weight for calibration” to the Command Register;
- Up to 8 different sample weights can be saved to perform a linearization on multiple points.
▫ The same sample weight can only be saved once for each calibration.
▫ Zero sample weight values cannot be saved.

If the operation is successfully completed, the two sample weight registers are set to zero.

To cancel the real calibration and return to the theoretical calibration, send the command 104 to the
Command Register. The tare reset is not cancelled.

In order to correctly set the sample weight, consider the value of the Division register
(40014). Example: to set the sample weight to 100 kg and the division is 0.001, then the
value to enter is 100000 (100 / 0.001 = 100000).

In order to correctly set a sample weight of negative value, it is necessary to consider the
registers “Sample weight for instrument calibration” (40065–40066) as a 32-bit signed
number. If the development system does not handle signed numbers, enter the values in
two’s complement.
Example: to set the sample weight to -56 kg, enter the values indicated in the table in the
registers “Sample weight for instrument calibration”.

SETPOINT PROGRAMMING

Warning: if the E/EC option is not present, the new values of the setpoint are active immediately; but
if the E/EC option is present, the new values of the setpoint are active only if the class to be
programmed coincides with the class currently in use.

- Write the number of class to be programmed in the register 40038 (only for instruments provided
with E/EC option);
- Write the setpoint values to be programmed in the registers 40019 – 40028;

SETPOINT READING

- Write the number of class to be read in the register 40038 (only for instruments provided with E/EC
option);
- Read the setpoint values in the registers 40019 – 40028.

ONLY FOR BATCHING PROGRAMS (LOAD – UNLOAD – 3/6/14 PRODUCTS)

CONSTANTS AND FORMULAS READING AND WRITING

Legend:

CMD R: reading command.

CMD W: writing command.
H: high half of the DOUBLE WORD containing the number.
L: low half of the DOUBLE WORD containing the number.

For the exchange of values by using the following commands, use the Exchange Registers from 40051
to 40060 together with the Command Register.
To perform a read command you need to set the values highlighted in bold.

Example: command 2002

- In the 40053 register set the formula number (No. Formula) for which you want to read the total
set;
- Send the command 2002 to the Command Register (40006);
- Read continuously 40060 register until you find the command echo (in this case 2002) which
indicates “data ready” or 0xFFFF indicates that “error in the command”;
- Read the values present in 40051…40060 registers and use them according to the following table.

**) The instrument features two Exchange Registers (one for reading and one for writing), which
must be used together with the Command Register in order to access these values. These
are the procedures to follow:
- READING: send the desired datum reading command (e.g.: 90 for "Setpoint 1 reading")
to the Command Register and read the content of the Exchange Register.
- WRITING: write the value that you want to set in the Exchange Register and send the
desired datum writing command (e.g.: 93 for "Setpoint 1 writing") to the Command
Register.
***) Only for WTAB-L/R.

If it is necessary to execute the same command twice consecutively, send command 0

between the first command and the following one.

- 35 -
Setpoint Reading/Writing
The setpoint are weight values expressed as positive integer numbers, include decimal figures but
without decimal point.

Setpoint are stored to RAM and lost upon instrument power off; to save them in EEPROM,
so that they are maintained upon instrument power on, it is necessary to send the
command 99 “Save data in EEPROM” of the Command Register.

Preset tare
Write the preset tare value through the command 88 “Write preset tare”.
Send the command 130 “Enable preset tare” to enable the preset tare.

REAL CALIBRATION COMMANDS (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)

- Unload the system and reset to zero the displayed weight value with the command 100 “TARE
WEIGHT ZERO SETTING for calibration” of the Command Register.
- Load a sample weight on the system, write its value into the Exchange Register and send the
command 103 “Sample Weight writing” to the Command Register;
- To save the first sample weight value and remove the previously saved values, send the command
101 “Save first sample weight for calibration” to the Command Register;
- To store a sample weight value and keep the previously saved values, send the command 106
“Add sample weight for calibration” to the Command Register;
- Up to 8 different sample weights can be saved to perform a linearization on multiple points.
▫ The same sample weight can only be saved once for each calibration.
▫ Zero sample weight values cannot be saved.

If the operation is successfully completed, the command 102 “Sample Weight reading” returns a value
equal to zero.

To cancel the real calibration and return to the theoretical calibration, send the command 104 to the
Command Register. The tare reset is not cancelled.

In order to correctly set a sample weight of negative value, it is necessary to consider the
Exchange Register as a 32-bit signed number. If the development system does not handle
signed numbers, enter the values in two’s complement.
Example: to set the sample weight to -56 kg, enter the value indicated in the table in the
Exchange Register.

**) The instrument features two Exchange Registers (one for reading and one for writing), which
must be used together with the Command Register in order to access these values. These
are the procedures to follow:
- READING: send the desired datum reading command (e.g.: 90 for "Setpoint 1 reading")
to the Command Register and read the content of the Exchange Register.
- WRITING: write the value that you want to set in the Exchange Register and send the
desired datum writing command (e.g.: 93 for "Setpoint 1 writing") to the Command
Register.
***) Only for WTAB-L/R.

If it is necessary to execute the same command twice consecutively, send command 0

between the first command and the following one.

- 54 -
Setpoint Reading/Writing
The setpoint are weight values expressed as positive integer numbers, include decimal figures but
without decimal point.

Setpoint are stored to RAM and lost upon instrument power off; to save them in EEPROM,
so that they are maintained upon instrument power on, it is necessary to send the
command 99 “Save data in EEPROM” of the Command Register.

Preset tare
Write the preset tare value through the command 88 “Write preset tare”.
Send the command 130 “Enable preset tare” to enable the preset tare.

REAL CALIBRATION COMMANDS (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)

- Unload the system and reset to zero the displayed weight value with the command 100 “TARE
WEIGHT ZERO SETTING for calibration” of the Command Register.
- Load a sample weight on the system, write its value into the Exchange Register and send the
command 103 “Sample Weight writing” to the Command Register;
- To save the first sample weight value and remove the previously saved values, send the command
101 “Save first sample weight for calibration” to the Command Register;
- To store a sample weight value and keep the previously saved values, send the command 106
“Add sample weight for calibration” to the Command Register;
- Up to 8 different sample weights can be saved to perform a linearization on multiple points.
▫ The same sample weight can only be saved once for each calibration.
▫ Zero sample weight values cannot be saved.

If the operation is successfully completed, the command 102 “Sample Weight reading” returns a value
equal to zero.

To cancel the real calibration and return to the theoretical calibration, send the command 104 to the
Command Register. The tare reset is not cancelled.

In order to correctly set a sample weight of negative value, it is necessary to consider the
Exchange Register as a 32-bit signed number. If the development system does not handle
signed numbers, enter the values in two’s complement.
Example: to set the sample weight to -56 kg, enter the value indicated in the table in the
Exchange Register.

GROSS WEIGHT, NET WEIGHT, PEAK WEIGHT: the weight values are expressed as positive
integer numbers, including decimal figures, but without decimal point. Read the Status Register to
obtain information about sign and possible errors on the weight.
To find out the decimal figures use the Division module; example: if the read net weight is 100000 and
the scale verification division (e) is 0.001, the real weight value is 100.000 kg.

SETPOINT, HYSTERESIS: the weight values are expressed as positive integer numbers, including
decimal figures, but without decimal point.
- to set 0, write the conventional hexadecimal value hex 80000000 to the register (the most
significant bit set to 1 and the other to 0).
- to set the values correctlyn use the Division module; example: if you want to set a setpoint to
100 kg and the scale verification division (e) is 0.001, set the setpoint value to 100000 (weight
value with three decimals but without decimal point).

The setpoint are stored to RAM and lost upon instrument power off; to save them in
EEPROM, so that they are maintained upon instrument power on, it is necessary to send
the command 99 “Save data in EEPROM” of the Command Register.

ZERO WEIGHT – ANALOG OUTPUT: it’s the weight value to which the zero of the analog output is
associated.

FULL SCALE WEIGHT – ANALOG OUTPUT: it’s the weight value to which the full scale of the analog
output is associated.

 REAL CALIBRATION COMMANDS (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)

- Unload the system and reset to zero the displayed weight value with the command 100 “TARE
WEIGHT ZERO SETTING for calibration” of the Command Register.
- Load a sample weight on the system and send its value to the “Sample weight” module.
- Send zero to the “Sample weight” module.
- To save the first sample weight value and remove the previously saved values, send the command
101 “Save first sample weight for calibration” to the Command Register;
- To store a sample weight value and keep the previously saved values, send the command 106
“Add sample weight for calibration” to the Command Register;
- Up to 8 different sample weights can be saved to perform a linearization on multiple points.
▫ The same sample weight can only be saved once for each calibration.
▫ Zero sample weight values cannot be saved.

If the operation is successfully completed, the sample weight read is set to zero.

To cancel the real calibration and return to the theoretical calibration, send the command 104 to the
Command Register. The tare reset is not cancelled.

In order to correctly set a sample weight of negative value, it is necessary to consider the content
of the “Sample weight” module as a 32-bit signed number. If the development system does not
handle signed numbers, enter the values in two’s complement.
Example: to set the sample weight to -56 kg, enter the values indicated in the table in the
“Sample weight” module.

**) The instrument features two Exchange Registers (one for reading and one for writing), which
must be used together with the Command Register in order to access these values. These
are the procedures to follow:
- READING: send the desired datum reading command (e.g.: 90 for "Setpoint 1 reading")
to the Command Register and read the content of the Exchange Register.
- WRITING: write the value that you want to set in the Exchange Register and send the
desired datum writing command (e.g.: 93 for "Setpoint 1 writing") to the Command
Register.
***) Only for WTAB-L/R.

If it is necessary to execute the same command twice consecutively, send command 0

between the first command and the following one.

- 78 -
Setpoint Reading/Writing
The setpoint are weight values expressed as positive integer numbers, include decimal figures but
without decimal point.

Setpoint are stored to RAM and lost upon instrument power off; to save them in EEPROM,
so that they are maintained upon instrument power on, it is necessary to send the
command 99 “Save data in EEPROM” of the Command Register.

Preset tare
Write the preset tare value through the command 88 “Write preset tare”.
Send the command 130 “Enable preset tare” to enable the preset tare.

REAL CALIBRATION COMMANDS (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)

- Unload the system and reset to zero the displayed weight value with the command 100 “TARE
WEIGHT ZERO SETTING for calibration” of the Command Register.
- Load a sample weight on the system, write its value into the Exchange Register and send the
command 103 “Sample Weight writing” to the Command Register;
- To save the first sample weight value and remove the previously saved values, send the command
101 “Save first sample weight for calibration” to the Command Register;
- To store a sample weight value and keep the previously saved values, send the command 106
“Add sample weight for calibration” to the Command Register;
- Up to 8 different sample weights can be saved to perform a linearization on multiple points.
▫ The same sample weight can only be saved once for each calibration.
▫ Zero sample weight values cannot be saved.

If the operation is successfully completed, the command 102 “Sample Weight reading” returns a value
equal to zero.

To cancel the real calibration and return to the theoretical calibration, send the command 104 to the
Command Register. The tare reset is not cancelled.

In order to correctly set a sample weight of negative value, it is necessary to consider the
Exchange Register as a 32-bit signed number. If the development system does not handle
signed numbers, enter the values in two’s complement.
Example: to set the sample weight to -56 kg, enter the value indicated in the table in the
Exchange Register.

 USE AND CALIBRATION OF CONVERTER POINTS

When the instrument is connected to a system, it can be used to read the weight directly from the
protocol or, alternatively, the weight can be calculated by the PC or PLC system to which the
instrument is connected. In the latter case, the calibration can be performed as follows: if the
transmitter sends e.g. 6500 divisions (converter points) when the tank is empty, and after putting a
sample weight of 10000 kg it sends 49833 divisions, in order to find out the weight you will simply
need to subtract from the divisions read those relative to the empty tank and then divide the result by
a constant given by the following calculation:

(49833-6500)/10000=4,333

so, if the PC or PLC receives 40000 divisions, the weight will be given by:

(40000-6500)/4,333=7731 kg

 OUTPUTS AND INPUTS CONFIGURATION

MENU + ESC → :

OUTPUTS
The outputs are set by default as follows:  /  /  /  / .

Possible operation modes:

-  (normally open): the relay is de-energised and the contact is open when the weight is lower
than the programmed setpoint value; it closes when the weight is higher than or equal to the
programmed setpoint value.
-  (normally closed): the relay is energised and the contact is closed when the weight is
lower than the programmed setpoint value; it opens when the weight is higher than or equal to the
programmed setpoint value.

- : the contact will switch on the basis of weight, according to setpoint (see SETPOINT
PROGRAMMING section in the instrument manual).
- : the contact will not switch on the basis of weight, but is controlled by remote protocol
commands.
- : relay switching occurs when the weight is stable.

If the operation mode  is selected, the following options are also active:
- : the contact will switch on the basis of gross weight.
- : the contact will switch on the basis of net weight (If the net function is not active, the
contact will switch on the basis of gross weight).

- : relay switching occurs for both positive and negative weight values.
- : relay switching occurs for positive weight values only.
- : relay switching occurs for negative weight values only.

By confirming with ENTER the setpoint operation can be set to the value 0:
- : relay switching will not occur if the setpoint value is 0.
- :
- Setpoint = 0 and relay switching = , relay switching occurs when the weight is 0;
the relay will switch again when the weight is different from zero, taking hysteresis into
account (both for positive and for negative weights).
- Setpoint = 0 and relay switching = , relay switching occurs for a weight higher than or
equal to 0, the relay will switch again for values below 0, taking hysteresis into account.
- Setpoint = 0 and relay switching = , relay switching occurs for a weight lower than or
equal to 0, the relay will switch again for values above 0, taking hysteresis into account.

- 81 -
 INPUTS
Default: input 1 =  input 2 =  input 3 = 

Possible operation modes:

-  (NET/GROSS): by closing this input for no more than one second, it’s making an operation
of SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE and the display will show the net weight. To display the gross weight
again, hold the NET/GROSS input closed for 3 seconds.
- : by closing the input for no more than one second, the weight is set to zero (see section
WEIGHT ZERO-SETTING FOR SMALL VARIATIONS (SEMI-AUTOMATIC ZERO) in the
instrument manual).
- : keeping the input closed the maximum weight value reached remains on display. Opening
the input the current weight is displayed.
- : closing the input no operation is performed, the input status may however be read remotely
by way of the communication protocol.
- : closing the input for max one second the weight is transmitted over the serial connection
according to the fast continuous transmission protocol only once (only if  is set in the
item ).
- : when the input is closed the weight is displayed based on the set coefficient (see setting
of the units of measure and coefficient), otherwise the weight is displayed.
- : when the input is closed the data are sent for printing if in the communication protocol
of either serial port the parameter  is set.
- : when the input is open, the alarm  is displayed; the weight cannot be saved (see
section LIMIT MODE in the instrument manual).
