 PRECAUTIONS
READ this manual BEFORE using or performing maintenance on the instrument.
Follow these instructions carefully.
SAVE this manual for future use.

ATTENTION
Only the installation and maintenance of
this instrument to qualified personnel.
Take extreme precautions when carrying out inspections, tests and
settings with the instrument turned on.
Make the electrical connections without the power supply.
Failure to comply with these instructions can be dangerous.
Do not let untrained personnel work, clean, inspect,
repair or manipulate the instrument.

 INTRODUCTION
The DAT 400 is a weight transmitter that combines with load cells to detect weight.

The module is easy to install and can be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail.
The screen allows easy reading of the weight, the status of the instrument, the adjustment parameters and the
errors.
The 4 keys located below the screen allow the operator to use the ZERO functions.

The DAT 400 instrument uses the RS232 serial port with ASCII and Modbus RTU protocols for
connect to a PC, PLC, and remote units. In parallel with RS232, there is available a
USB port.
There are always 2 programmable weight settings available and control of the maximum weight value.

The RS422/RS485 serial output allows you to connect up to 32 addressable devices.
The availability of the most common fieldbus protocols, as an alternative to the RS422/RS485 port,
also allows the transmitter to intercommunicate with any monitoring device that is

After calibration, when the device is turned on, the current weight appears on the screen.
VISUALIZATION OF NET/GROSS WEIGHT

FUN
Press the key to switch between net weight and gross weight. The displayed value is marked
through the NET LED (when it is on it indicates the net weight). If you have not entered the tare, the weight
neto is equivalent to gross weight.

In case the weight is negative, the minus sign appears in front of the most significant digit.

These two functions are performed by pressing the 0 key.
When the instrument is in the 'net' operating mode (the 'NET' LED is on
(dido), the 0 key performs automatic calibration.
When the instrument is in the 'gross' operating mode (the 'NET' LED is off
the 0 key is used to delete the gross weight.

AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION
The automatic calibration can be carried out under the following conditions:
Instrument in 'net' conditions (the 'NET' LED is on).
Positive gross weight.
The gross weight does not exceed the maximum capacity.
Stable currency.
• Unstable weight. In this condition, we must distinguish two cases:
1. The weight stability control is activated (the parameter "MOTION" (*) must not be equal to
zero): the command that is executed while the weight is unstable only takes effect if the weight takes
to stabilize for 3 seconds from the moment the command is issued.
2. Weight stability control is disabled (the parameter "MOTION" (*) is equal to zero):
The executed command is applied immediately, even with unstable weight.

The automatic calibration is stored in memory even after turning off the ali-switch.

Normally, these zero drifts are due to thermal drifts or material residues that are
they accumulate in the weighing system over time.
To execute the command, it is necessary for the instrument to be in 'raw' conditions (with the
LED "NET" off) and that the weight deviation from the scale's zero (the one that is done
with the zero calibration) does not exceed (neither positively nor negatively) the number of divisions defined in
the "0 BAND" parameter (in the PARAM menu).
The command to reset the gross weight does not execute if one of the following occurs

even when the device is turned off.
The gross weight reset operation can be repeated multiple times, but the reset
from zero divisions accumulates so that when the total exceeds the limit value defined in the parameter
"0 BAND", the zeroing cannot be executed. In this case, it is necessary to calibrate the zero.
When adjusting any automatic calibration parameter upon turning on the instrument (AUTO 0), it reduces
(or cancels, in the case of “AUTO 0”> “0 BAND”) the range of action of the reset command.

The instrument continuously records the peak value of the gross weight. The peak value is detected at
the same frequency of weight acquisition (see the table on filters). In addition to visualization,

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIELDS
Double quotes contain constant characters (keep uppercase and lowercase); the sim-
bolos <y> contain variable numerical fields.
addr = Address of the series communication of the instrument; it is the ASCII character that is obtained
adding 80h to the address number (for example, address 1: <Addr> = 80h + 01h = 81h).
checksum = checksum of the data in the string. It is calculated by performing the exclusive OR
(XOR) of all characters in <Addr> up to ETX, excluding the last one; the result of XOR is
break into 2 characters considering separately the upper 4 bits (first
character) and the 4 lower bits (second character); the 2 characters obtained are encoded to
continuation in ASCII (example: XOR = 5Dh; <csum> = "5Dh", that is 35h and 44h).
ETX (end of text) = 0x03h,
EOT (fin de la transmisión) = 0x04,
ACK (acknowledgment) = 0x06h,
NAK (without confirmation) = 0x15h.

If not specified otherwise, numerical values (such as addresses, codes, and data) are expressed
as decimal values.
For any hardware configuration of the instrument (FIELDBUS or analog), the protocol
MODBUS RTU is always available on COM1 RS232; in case there is no Fieldbus, the pro-
MODBUS RTU protocol is also available on COM2 RS485.

RESPONSE TIMES OF THE INSTRUMENT

To respond to most requests, the instrument takes a maximum time of 20 milliseconds.

EXAMPLE: CALIBRATION FUNCTION USING MODBUS

To perform the calibration of the scale range (for which the value of the weight of the record is needed)
the value of the data record must exist when the command logging is scheduled.
For example:
Calibrate the scale using a sample weight of 2000 kg.
Write 2000 in the data register.
Write 0x0011 in the command register.
Use the multiple record writing function and write the records from the data log and the
command logging in a single command.

To use the print command, you must press the key or activate remote input

The printed report is only generated if the following conditions are met:
Positive gross weight
Positive net weight
Stable weight (**)
• BLIND function disabled (***)
PRG
(*) In case the key it becomes blocked (see page 17), the print command only
can be used through remote input 2
The stability condition of the weight is only controlled if the 'MOTION' parameter is set (see page)

If MOTION = 0, the printed report is generated even if the weight is unstable.
(*) In case the BLIND function is activated (see page 17), the print command

Between one print and another, the weight must change by at least 20 numbers.
