CAUTION:

• Use a wrist strap to ground yourself and protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working inside the indicator enclosure.

• This unit uses double pole/neutral fusing which could create an electric shock hazard. Only qualified service personnel should perform procedures requiring work inside the indicator.

• The supply cord serves as the power disconnect for the IQ plus 710. The power outlet supplying the indicator must be installed near the unit and be easily accessible.

2.1. Unpacking and Assembly

Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the IQ plus 710 to ensure all components are included and undamaged. The shipping carton should contain the indicator with attached tilt stand, this manual, and a parts kit. If any parts were damaged in shipment, notify Cooper Instruments & Systems immediately.

The parts kit contains the items listed below:

• Capacity and identification labels.

• Two 8-32NC x 7/16 fillister head screws (PN 30623). These screws occupy the holes above and on either side

of the setup screw on the indicator backplate (see Figure 2-5 ).

• Ten 8-32NC x 3/8 machine screws (PN 14862) for the indicator back plate (see #29 in Figure 2-9).

• Twelve bonded sealing washers (PN 45042) for backplate screws included in the parts kit.

• Four cord grip-reducing glands (PN 15664).

• Four rubber bumpers (“feet”) for the tilt stand, PN 42149.

• 6-position screw terminal (PN 70599) for connector J1; two 7-position screw terminals (PN 42104) for

connectors J4 and J12; two 10-position screw terminals (PN 46420) for connectors J7 and J8.

• One kep nut (PN 14676) for grounding cable shield wires against the back plate.

2.2. Enclosure Disassembly

The indicator enclosure must be opened to connect cables for load cells, communications, digital inputs, digital outputs, and analog output.

WARNING: The IQ plus 710 has no on/off switch. Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet.

CF 121 4 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 9

Ensure power to the indicator is disconnected, then place the indicator face-down on an antistatic work mat. Remove the screws that hold the backplate to the enclosure body, then lift the backplate away from the enclosure and set it aside.

NOTE: With the backplate removed, check the battery to ensure it has not been jarred loose from the battery holder (B1) in shipping.

2.3. Cable Connections

The IQ plus 710 provides five cord grips for cabling into the indicator: one for the power cord, three to accommodate communications, digital I/O, and analog output cables, and one metal cord grip for the load cell cable. The three nylon cord grips come with a plug installed to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure. Depending on your application, remove the plug from any cord grip that will be used and install cables as required. Except for the power cord and load cell cables, all cables routed through the cord grips should be grounded to the ground stud on the indicator backplate.

2.3.1. Load Cells

To attach cable from a load cell or junction box, use the following procedure to cable through the metal cord grip:

1. Disconnect indicator from power source.

2. Place indicator facedown on an antistatic work mat. Remove screws that hold the backplate to the enclosure body.

3. Loosen cord grips, then route cables through the stainless steel cord grip. Determine cable length required to reach connector J1. Mark the cable at the inside edge of the cord grip (see Figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1 Mark Length of Cable at Inside of Cord Grip

4. Remove cable from cord grip. Strip insulation from the marked position to the end of the cable.

5. For cables with braided shielding, cut the shield at the same location as the insulation, then strip an additional 15 mm of insulation from the cable to allow the shield to contact the inside of the metal cord grip (see Figure 2-

2).

Figure 2.2 Braided Shield Cabling

For cables with foil-type shielding, strip an additional 15 mm of insulation from the cable. Cut the foil shield at a location about 15 mm inside the enclosure, then fold the foil shield back on the cable (see Figure 2-3). Ensure silver (conductive) side of foil is turned outward for contact with the metal cord grip.

CF 121 5 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 10

Figure 2.3 Foil Shielded Cabling

6. Cut the shield wire just inside the enclosure (see Figure 2-3). Shield wire function is provided by contact with the metal cord grip.

7. Route cables through cord grip so cable shield contacts cord grip fitting as shown in Figures 2-2 and 2-3. Tighten cord grips.

8. Next, remove connector J1 from the board. The connector plugs into a header on the board (see Figure 2-4). Wire the load cell cable from the load cell or junction box to connector J1 as shown in Table 2-1.

J1 Pin Function

1 +SIG 2 –SIG 3 +SENSE 4 –SENSE 5 +EXC 6 –EXC For 6-wire load cell connections, remove jumpers JP1 and JP2.

Table 2-1 J1 Pin Assignment

9. If using 6-wire load cell cable (with sense wires), remove jumpers JP1 and JP2 before reinstalling connector J1. For 4-wire installation, leave jumpers JP1 and JP2 on.

10. Finish installation using cable mounts and ties to secure cables inside of indicator enclosure.

When connections are complete, reinstall connector J1 onto the header so that it snaps securely into place. Use two cable ties to secure the load cell cable to the inside of the enclosure.

Setting the Load Cell Compensation Jumper

The load cell compensation jumper JP5 (near the transformer on the CPU board; see Figure 2-4) must be set ON for load cells with unbalanced bridges. The compensation jumper has the effect of lowering the positive excitation voltage. Uncompensated unbalanced load cells can cause instability or calibration errors.

For RL1040 and RL1042 load cells, set the compensation jumper as follows:

• RL1040 load cells: jumper OFF

• RL1042 load cells: jumper ON

For other load cell types, use the following procedure to determine the correct jumper position:

1. Disconnect load cell from indicator and use an ohmmeter to measure the following:

+EXC to +SIG, +EXC to –SIG

-EXC to +SIG, -EXC to –SIG Measured values between the excitation line and each of the signal lines should be within 2-3.

2. If the +EXC measurements are ¡Ý 5% larger than the -EXC measurements, set the compensation jumper in the ON position. If the +EXC measurements are < 5% greater (or are less) than the -EXC measurements, set the jumper in the OFF position.

2.3.2. Serial Communications

To attach serial communications cables, remove connector J4 or J12 from the board. Connector J4 provides connections for the EDP (Electronic Data Processing) port, printer port, and 20 mA current loop transmit signals; connector J12 provides RS-485 signals. Table 2-2 shows the pin assignments for connectors J12 and J4.

Once cables are attached, reconnect J12 or J4 to the header on the board. Use cable ties to secure serial cables to the inside of the enclosure.

The EDP port supports RS-232 or RS-485 communications; the printer port provides active 20 mA output and fullduplex RS-232 communications. Both ports are configured using the SERIAL menu. See Section 3.0 for configuration information.

2.3.3. Digital I/O

Digital inputs can be set to provide many indicator functions, including all keypad functions. Digital inputs are active (on) with low voltage (0 VDC), inactive (off) at 5 VDC. Use the DIG IN menu to configure the digital inputs.

Digital outputs are typically used to control relays that drive other equipment. Outputs are designed to sink, rather than source, switching current. Each output is a normally open collector circuit, capable of sinking 250 mA when active. Digital outputs are wired to switch relays when the digital output is active (low, 0 VDC) with reference to a 5 VDC supply.

Up to eight relays can be mounted inside the flat front enclosure; up to four relays can be mounted inside the sloped front enclosure. Use the SETPTS menu to configure digital outputs. Table 2-3 shows the pin assignments for connectors J7 and J8.

Page 13

Mount the analog output module on its standoffs in the location shown in Figure 2-4 on page 6 and plug the module input into connector J5 on the IQ plus 710 board. Connect the output cable to the analog output module as shown in Table 2-4, then reassemble the enclosure (Section 2.5).

See Section 10.8 for analog output calibration procedures.

2.5. Enclosure Reassembly

Once cabling is complete, position the backplate over the enclosure and reinstall the backplate screws. Use the torque pattern shown in Figure 2-5 to prevent distorting the backplate gasket. Torque screws to 10 in-lb (1.13 N-m).

Figure 2-5. IQ plus 710 Enclosure Backplate

2.6. Board Removal

If you must remove the IQ plus 710 CPU board, use the following procedure:

1. Disconnect power to the indicator. Loosen cord grips and remove backplate as described in Section 2.2.

2. Unplug connectors J1 (load cell cable), J4 and J12 (serial communications), J7 and J8 (digital I/O), J6 (keypad ribbon cable), and JP4 (setup switch). If an analog output board is installed, disconnect the analog output cable. See Figure 2-4 for connector locations.

3. Remove the standoff and three nuts from the corners of the CPU board.

4. Cut the cable tie that holds the line filter load wires to the enclosure.

5. Lift the board off of its spacers just far enough to access the setscrews that secure the line filter load wires at connector P2. Use a small screwdriver to loosen the setscrews and disconnect power to the board.

6. Remove the CPU board from the enclosure.

To replace the CPU board, reverse the above procedure. Be sure to reinstall cable ties to secure all cables inside the indicator enclosure.

2.7. Battery Replacement

The lithium battery on the CPU board maintains the real-time clock and protects data stored in the system RAM when the indicator is not connected to AC power.

System RAM data includes prompts, truck ID storage, and keyboard locks. This information is lost if the battery loses power and the indicator is disconnected from AC power. To prevent loss of data, do the following:

CF 121 9 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 14

• Periodically check the battery voltage and replace when the voltage drops below 3.1 VDC. The battery should last a minimum of one year. Therefore, in critical applications, replace the battery every twelve months.

• Use the Revolution™ configuration utility or EDP commands (see Section 5.2) to store a copy of the indicator configuration on a PC before attempting battery replacement. If any data is lost, the indicator configuration can be restored from the PC.

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with incorrect type. Dispose of batteries per manufacturer instruction.

The Revolution configuration utility provides the preferred method for configuring the IQ plus 710 indicator. Revolution runs on a personal computer to set configuration parameters for the indicator. When Revolution configuration is complete, configuration data is downloaded to the indicator.

Figure 3-1. Sample Revolution Configuration Display

CF 121 10 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 15

Revolution supports both uploading and downloading of indicator configuration data. This capability allows configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator, edited, then downloaded to another.

To use Revolution, do the following:

1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible personal computer running Windows

¨ 3.11 or Windows 95/98.

Minimum system requirements are 8MB of extended memory and at least 5MB of available hard disk space.

2. With both indicator and PC powered off, connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins on the indicator EDP port.

3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the setup switch to place the indicator in setup mode.

4. Start the Revolution program.

Figure 3-1 shows an example of one of the Revolution configuration displays.

Revolution provides online help for each of its configuration displays. Parameter descriptions provided in this manual for front panel configuration can also be used when configuring the indicator using Revolution: the interface is different, but the parameters set are the same.

3.1.2. EDP Command Configuration

The EDP command set can be used to configure the IQ plus 710 indicator using either a personal computer, terminal, or remote keyboard. Like Revolution, EDP command configuration sends commands to the indicator EDP port; unlike Revolution, EDP commands can be sent using any external device capable of sending ASCII characters over a serial connection.

EDP commands duplicate the functions available using the indicator front panel and provide some functions not otherwise available. EDP commands can be used to simulate pressing front panel keys, to configure the indicator, or to dump lists of parameter settings. See Section 5.0 on page 41 for more information about using the EDP command set.

3.1.3. Front Panel Configuration

The IQ plus 710 indicator can be configured using a series of menus accessed through the indicator front panel when the indicator is in setup mode. Table 3-1 summarizes the functions of each of the main menus.

Menu Menu Function CONFIG Configuration Configure grads, zero tracking, zero range, motion band, overload, A/D sample rate,

tare function, power-up mode, analog and digital filtering parameters. FORMAT Format Set format of primary and secondary units, decimal format, and display rate CALIBR Calibration Calibrate indicator. See Section 4.0 for calibration procedures. SERIAL Serial Configure EDP and printer serial ports. PROGRM Program Set date and time formats, truck mode, passwords, keyboard locks, regulatory mode,

and initial consecutive number value; enable accumulator; define setpoint and macro

prompts, and program macros. PFORMT Print Format Set print format used for header, gross, net, truck in/out, setpoint, and EDP format

tickets. See Section 6.0 for more information. SETPTS Setpoints Configure setpoints and batching mode. DIG IN Digital Input Assign digital input functions. ALGOUT Analog Output Configure analog output module. Used only if analog output option is installed. VERSION Version Display installed software version number.

SETUP MODE 5-KEY FUNCTIONS

Figure 3-2. Five-Key Keypad Functions in Setup Mode

Four front panel keys are used as directional keys to navigate through the menus in setup mode (see Figure 3-2). The UNITS () and PRINT () keys scroll left and right (horizontally) on the same menu level; ZERO () and GROSS/NET () move up and down (vertically) to different menu levels. The TARE key () serves as an Enter key for selecting parameter values within the menus. A label over each of these keys identifies the direction provided by the key when navigating through the setup menus.

Figure 3-3. Setup Mode Menu Navigation

To select a parameter, press  or  to scroll left or right until the desired menu group appears on the display, then press to move down to the submenu or parameter you want. When moving through the menu parameters, the default or previously selected value appears first on the display. To change a parameter value, scroll left or right to view the values for that parameter. When the desired value appears on the display, press 

to select the value and

move back up one level. To edit numerical values, use the numeric keypad on the indicator front panel.

3.2. Menu Structures and Parameter Descriptions

The following sections provide graphic representations of the IQ plus 710 menu structures. In the actual menu structure, the settings you choose under each parameter are arranged horizontally. To save page space, menu choices are shown in vertical columns. The factory default setting appears at the top of each column. Parameters shown surrounded by a dotted-line box only appear under the special circumstances explained under each box.

Most menu diagrams are accompanied by one or more tables that describe all parameters and parameter values associated with that menu option. Default parameter values are shown in bold type.

Sample rate. Selects measurement rate, in samples per second, of the analog-to-digital converter. Lower sample rate values provide greater signal noise immunity.

Selects the digital filtering rate used to reduce the effects of mechanical vibration from the immediate area of the scale.

Choices indicate the number of A/D conversions per update that are averaged to obtain the displayed reading. A higher number gives a more accurate display by minimizing the effect of a few noisy readings, but slows down the settling rate of the indicator.

Enables Rattletrap digital filtering. RATTLETRAP is most effective at filtering repeating vibrations caused by mechanical noise from nearby machines but may increase settling times over standard digital filter selections. Digital filter cutout sensitivity. Specifies the number of consecutive readings that must fall outside the filter threshold (DFTHRH parameter) before digital filtering is suspended.

Digital filter cutout threshold. Specifies the filter threshold, in display divisions. When a specified number of consecutive scale readings (DFSENS parameter) fall outside of this threshold, digital filtering is suspended. If NONE is selected, the filter is always enabled.

Analog filter. Selects the range used for filtering mechanical and electrical noise. 8 Hz value has a medium filtering effect; 2 Hz has the greatest effect. Normally, the minimum filter value that allows a stable display should be selected. If digital filtering is also used, select either 2 Hz or 8 Hz for this parameter. Power up mode. In GO mode, the indicator goes into operation immediately after a brief power up display test. In DELAY mode, the indicator performs a power up display test, then enters a 30-second warm up period. If no motion is detected during the warm up period, the indicator becomes operational when the warm up period ends; if motion is detected, the delay timer is reset and the warm up period repeated. Enables or disables push-button and keyed tares. Possible values are: BOTH: Both push-button and keyed tares are enabled NOTARE: No tare allowed (gross mode only) PBTARE: Push-button tares enabled KEYED: Keyed tare enabled

4.0 CALIBRATION

The IQ plus 710 can be calibrated using the front panel, EDP commands, or the Revolutionª configuration utility. Each method consists of the following steps:

• Zero calibration

• Entering the test weight value

• Span calibration

• Optional five-point linearization

• Optional rezero calibration for test weights using hooks or chains.

The following sections describe the calibration procedure for each of the calibration methods.

Figure 4-1. Calibration (CALIBR) Menu

4.1. Front Panel Calibration

To calibrate the indicator using the front panel, do the following:

1. Place the indicator in setup mode (display reads CONFIG) and remove all weight from the scale platform. If your test weights require hooks or chains, place the hooks or chains on the scale for zero calibration.

2. Press until the display reads CALIBR (see Figure 4-1)Press to go to zero calibration(WZERO)

3. With WZERO displayed, press to calibrate zero. The indicator displays *CAL* while calibration is in progress. When complete, the A/D count for the zero calibration is displayed. Press again to save the zero calibration value and go to the next prompt (WVAL).

4. With WVAL displayed, place test weights on the scale and press to show the test weight value. Use the numeric keypad to enter the actual test weight, then press ENTER to save the value and go to span calibration (WSPAN).

5. With WSPAN displayed, press to calibrate span. The indicator displays *CAL* while calibration is in progress. When complete, the A/D count for the span calibration is displayed. Press again to save the span calibration value and go to the next prompt (WLIN).

CF 121 29 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 34

6. Five-point linearization (using the WLIN parameter) provides increased scale accuracy by calibrating the indicator at up to five additional points between the zero and span calibrations.

Linearization is optional: if you choose not to perform linearization, skip the WLIN parameter; if linearization values have previously been entered, these values are reset to zero during calibration. To perform linearization, follow the procedure below: With WLIN displayed, Press to go to the first linearization point (PT-> 1). Place test weights on the scale and press or ENTER. Use the numeric keypad to enter the actual test weight value, then press ENTER to calibrate. The indicator displays *CAL* while calibration is in progress. When complete, the A/D count for the linear calibration is displayed. Press ENTER again to save the calibration value and go to the next prompt (PT-> 2). Repeat for up to five linearization points.

7. The optional rezero function is used to remove a calibration offset when hooks or chains are used to hang the test weights.

• If no other apparatus was used to hang the test weights during calibration, remove the test weights and press to return to the CALIBR menu.

• If hooks or chains were used during calibration, remove these and the test weights from the scale. With all weight removed, press ENTER to rezero the scale. This function adjusts the zero and span calibration values. The indicator displays *CAL* while the zero and span calibrations are adjusted. When complete, the adjusted A/D count for the zero calibration is displayed. Press ENTER to save the value, then press to return to the CALIBR menu.

Press  until the display reads CONFIG, then press  to exit setup mode.

4.2. EDP Command Calibration

To calibrate the indicator using EDP commands, the indicator EDP port must be connected to a terminal or personal computer. See Section 2.3.2 for EDP port pin assignments; see Section 5.0 for more information about using EDP commands. Once the indicator is connected to the sending device, do the following:

2. Send the WZERO EDP command to calibrate zero. The indicator displays *CAL* while calibration is in progress.

3. Place test weights on the scale and use the WVAL command to enter the test weight value in the following format: WVAL=nnnnnn<CR>

4. Send the WSPAN EDP command to calibrate span. The indicator displays *CAL* while calibration is in progress, return to WLIN.

5. Up to five linearization points can be calibrated between the zero and span calibration values. Use the following commands to set and calibrate a single linearization point: WLIN.V1=nnnnn<CR> WLIN.C1<CR> The WLIN.V1 command sets the test weight value (nnnnn) for linearization point 1. The WLIN.C1 command calibrates the point. Repeat using the WLIN.Vx and WLIN.Cx commands as required for additional linearization points.

6. To remove an offset value, clear all weight from the scale, including hooks or chains used to hang test weights, then send the REZERO EDP command. The indicator displays *CAL* while the zero and span calibrations are adjusted.

7. Send the KUPARROW or KEXIT EDP command to exit setup mode.

4.3. Revolution™ Calibration

To calibrate the indicator using Revolution, the indicator EDP port must be connected to a PC running the Revolution configuration utility. Use the following procedure to calibrate the indicator:

1. Place the indicator in setup mode (display reads CONFIG) and remove all weight from the scale platform.

2. Select Calibrate Indicator from the Revolution main menu.

3. On the Indicator Calibration display, select the indicator model (IQ+710) and communications port then click OK.

CF 121 30 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 35

4. Revolution uploads calibration data from the indicator then presents the information in a display like that shown in Figure 4-2.

Figure 4-2. Revolution Calibration Display

5. Enter the Value of Test Weight to be used for span calibration then click START.

6. A dialog box asks whether hooks or chains are used to hang calibration test weights. Click Yes or No to continue.

7. The Zero Calibration dialog box prompts you to remove all weight from the scale. Clear the scale and click OK to begin zero calibration. If your test weights require hooks or chains, place the hooks or chains on the scale for zero calibration.

8. When zero calibration is complete, the Span Calibration dialog box prompts you to place test weights on the scale for span calibration. Place test weights on the scale then click OK.

9. When span calibration is complete, a dialog box asks whether you wish to perform linear calibration. Click Yes to perform linear calibration for up to five linearization points, or click No to continue calibration with step 11.

10. On the Linear Calibration display, select the point (1-5) to calibrate, then click Calibrate. Place test weights on scale then click OK. When prompted, enter the test weight value then press Enter. Repeat for additional linearization points, then click Exit to return to the Indicator Calibration display.

11. If hooks or chains were used to hang test weights, the Rezero dialog box prompts you to remove weights from the scale. Remove the weights then click OK. If hooks or chains were not used in the calibration procedure, Revolution goes directly to step 12. Calibration is complete.

12. When calibration is complete, the New Settings fields of the Indicator Calibration display are filled in. Click Exit to save the new values and return to the Revolution main menu; to restore the previous calibration values (including linear calibration values), click Restore Settings.

4.4. More About Calibration

The following topics provide additional information about compensating for environmental factors (Section 4.4.1) and diagnostic information for determining expected zero and span coefficients.

4.4.1. Adjusting Final Calibration

Calibration may be affected by environmental factors including wind, vibration, and angular loading. For example, if the scale is calibrated with 1000 lb, a strain test may determine that at 2000 lb the calibration is 3 lb high. In this case, final calibration can be adjusted by tweaking WVAL to 998.5 lb. This adjustment provides a linear correction of 1.5 lb per 1000 lb.

To adjust the final calibration, return to the WVAL prompt and  press to show the test weight value. Press  or  to adjust calibration up or down. Press to  save the value, then press  to return to the CALIBR menu.

CF 121 31 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 36

4.4.2. Zero Deadload A/D Counts

Table 4-1 lists the ideal A/D counts that result from input signals of 0-45 mV with zero deadload. Actual values will typically be higher than the values shown in Table 4-1.

Input Signal (mV) Raw A/D Count 0 105 000 1 126 000 2 147 000 3 168 000 4 189 000 5 210 000 6 231 000 7 252 000 8 273 000 9 294 000 10 315 000 15 420 000 20 525 000 30 735 000 45 1 050 000

Table 4-1. Ideal A/D Raw Counts

4.4.3. Calculating the Span Coefficient

The span coefficient value displayed by the WSPAN parameter can be calculated using the following formula:

(21000 * mV_signal_input) + zero_coefficient

where mV_signal_input is the change in the signal input when the test weight is applied and the zero_coefficient is the WZERO value. Actual values typically vary from the calculated value.

5.0 EDP COMMANDS

The IQ plus 710 indicator can be controlled by a personal computer or remote keyboard connected to the indicator EDP port. Control is provided by a set of EDP commands that can simulate front panel key press functions, display and change setup parameters, and perform reporting functions. The EDP port provides the capability to print configuration data or to save that data to an attached personal computer. This section describes the EDP command set and procedures for saving and transferring data using the EDP port.

NOTE: The full duplex RS-232 printer port provided with Version 2.0 and later hardware can also be used to process EDP commands.

5.1. The EDP Command Set

The EDP command set can be divided into five groups: key press commands, reporting commands, the RESETCONFIGURATION special function command, parameter setting commands, and transmit weight data commands.

When the indicator processes an EDP command, it responds with the message OK. The OK response verifies that the command was received and has been executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot be executed, the indicator responds with ??.

The following sections list the commands and command syntax used for each of these groups.

CF 121 32 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 37

5.1.1. Key Press Commands

Key press EDP commands (see Table 5-1) simulate pressing the keys on the front panel of the indicator. These commands can be used in both setup and weighing mode. Several of the commands serve as (pseudo) keys, providing functions that are not represented by a key on the front panel.

For example, to enter a 15-pound tare weight using EDP commands:

1. Type K1 and press ENTER (or RETURN).

2. Type K5 and press ENTER.

3. Type KTARE and press ENTER.

Command Function KZERO In weighing mode, press the ZERO key KGROSSNET In weighing mode, press the GROSS/NET key KGROSS Go to gross mode (pseudo key) KNET Go to net mode (pseudo key) KTARE Press the TARE key KUNITS In weighing mode, press the UNITS key KPRIM Go to primary units (pseudo key) KSEC Go to secondary units (pseudo key) KPRINT In weighing mode, press the PRINT key KID Press the ID key KSETPOINT Press the SETPOINT key KTIMEDATE Press the TIME/DATE key KTIME Display time (pseudo key) KDATE Display date (pseudo key) KESCAPE Press the ESCAPE key KALPHA Press the ALPHA ENTRY key KDISPACCUM Press the ACCUM key KDISPTARE Press the DISPLAY TARE key KCLR Press the CLEAR key KCLRCN Reset consecutive number (pseudo key) KCLRTAR Clear tare from system (pseudo key) KLEFTARROW In setup mode, move left in the menu KRIGHTARROW In setup mode, move right in the menu KUPARROW In setup mode, move up in the menu KDOWNARROW In setup mode, move down in the menu KEXIT In setup mode, exits to normal mode KCLRNV Clear non-volatile RAM K0–K9 Press number 0 (zero) through 9 KDOT Press the decimal point (.)

Table 5-2. EDP Reporting Commands

5.1.3. The RESETCONFIGURATION Command

The RESETCONFIGURATION command can be used in setup mode to restore all configuration parameters to their default values. This command is equivalent to using the DEFAULT function in TEST mode. See Section 10.9 for more information about test mode.

NOTE: All load cell calibration settings are lost when the RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.

5.1.4. Parameter Setting Commands

Parameter setting commands allow you to display or change the current value for a particular configuration parameter (Tables 5-3 through 5-12). Current configuration parameter settings can be displayed in either setup mode or normal mode using the following syntax:

command<ENTER>

Most parameter values can be changed in setup mode only; setpoint parameters listed in Table 5-8 can be changed when in normal weighing mode.

Use the following command syntax when changing parameter values:

command=value<ENTER>

where value is either a number or a parameter value. Use no spaces before or after the equal (=) sign. If you type an incorrect command, the display reads ??.

For example, to set the motion band parameter to 5, type the following:

MOTBAND=5D<ENTER>

For parameters with selectable values, enter the command and equal sign followed by a question mark:

command=?<ENTER>

to see a list of those values. The indicator must be in setup mode to use this function.

5.1.6. Batching Control Commands

The commands listed below provide batching control through the EDP port.

BATSTART

If the BATRUN digital input is active (low) or not assigned, the BATSTART command can be used to start the batch program.

BATRESET Stops the program and resets the batch program to the first batch step. Run the BATRESET command after making changes to the batch configuration.

BATPAUSE Stops the batch program at the current step. All digital outputs set on by the current step are set off. The BATSTRT DIGIN, BATSTART EDP command, or a macro configured with STRTBAT=ON can be used to restart the batch program at the current step.

BATSTATUS The BATSTATUS command is used to check the current status of various setpoint and batching conditions. BATSTATUS returns 14 bytes of status data as described in Table 5-14. BATSTATUS is principally used to provide status information to a controlling batch program when using the Remote I/O Interface option.

Status information returned in bytes 3-12 is coded as ASCII characters @ (hex 40) through O (hex 4F); only the low order bits of these characters are significant. Table 5-14 shows the low order bit assignments for bytes 3-12. Use Table 5-15 to interpret the status of the low order bits for a given ASCII character.

Batch Status Data Byte Values Batch Status 0 “S” = stopped

“R” = running “P” = paused

Table 5-14. BATSTATUS Command Structure

Translating ASCII Status Data ASCII Value Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0 Use the table at right to evaluate the ASCII character output for bytes 3 – 12 and determine which of the low order bits are set on.

For example, if the Digital Output Status returned in bytes 8 – 11 is AC@@, the table at right can be used with the bit assignments described above to determine that digital outputs 4, 7, and 8 are active:

• A (byte 8) indicates that DIGOUT 4 (bit 0) is on

5.2. Saving and Transferring Data

Connecting a personal computer to the IQ plus 710 EDP port allows you to save indicator configuration data to the PC or to download configuration data from the PC to an indicator. The following sections describe the procedures for these save and transfer operations.

CF 121 39 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 44

5.2.1. Saving and Printing Indicator Data

Configuration data can be saved to a personal computer connected to the EDP port. The PC must be running a communications program such as PROCOMMPLUS¨. See Section 2.3.2 for information about serial communications wiring and EDP port pin assignments.

When configuring the indicator, ensure that the values set for the BAUD and BITS parameters on the SERIAL menu match the baud rate, bits, and parity settings configured for the serial port on the PC.

To save all configuration data, send the DUMPALL EDP command to the indicator. The IQ plus 710 responds by sending all configuration parameters to the PC as ASCII-formatted text.

Configuration data can also be sent to the printer port: To print configuration data, place the indicator in setup mode, then press the ID key.

5.2.2. Downloading Configuration Data from PC to Indicator

Configuration data saved on a PC or floppy disk can be downloaded from the PC to an indicator. This procedure is useful when a number of indicators with similar configurations are set up or when an indicator is replaced. To download configuration data, connect the PC to the EDP port as described in Section 5.2.1. Place the indicator in setup mode and use the PC communications software to send the saved configuration data to the indicator. When transfer is complete, calibrate the indicator as described in Section 4.0.

NOTE: Calibration settings are included in the configuration data downloaded to the indicator. For nonlegal-fortrade applications, if the receiving indicator is a direct replacement for another IQ plus 710 and the attached scale is not changed, recalibration is not required.

6.0 PRINT FORMATTING

The IQ plus 710 provides seven print formats that determine the format of the printed output when the PRINT key is pressed or when a KPRINT EDP command is received. Supported print formats are: GFMT, NFMT, EDPFMT, TRWIN, TRWOUT, and SPFMT. A header format, HDRFMT, allows specification of up to 300 characters of ticket header information. The contents of the HDRFMT format can be inserted into any other ticket format using the <AE> formatting command.

The particular ticket format used for a given print operation depends on the indicator configuration (see Table 6-2).

Each print format can be customized to include up to 300 characters of information, such as company name and address, on printed tickets. You can use the indicator front panel (PFORMT menu), EDP commands, or the Revolution™ configuration utility to customize the print formats.

6.1. Print Formatting Commands

Table 6-1 lists commands you can use to format the IQ plus 710 print formats. Commands included in the format strings must be enclosed between < and > delimiters. Any characters outside of the delimiters are printed as text on the ticket. Text characters can include any ASCII character that can be printed by the output device.

Ticket Format Command Description GFMT/NFMT/EDPFMT TRWIN/TRWOUT SPFMT <G> Gross weight in displayed units <G2> Gross weight in non-displayed units <N> Net weight in displayed units <N2> Net weight in non-displayed units <T> Tare weight in displayed units <T2> Tare weight in non-displayed units <A> Accumulated weight in displayed units <AC> Number of accumulator event (5-digit

(formatted/unformatted)** NOTES: Gross, net, and tare weights, SV1 setpoint weight are 9 digits in length, including sign (10 digits with decimal point), followed by a space and a two-digit units identifier. Total field length with units identifier is 12 (or 13) characters.

TR1, TR2, and TR3 truck ticket weight data includes keywords INBOUND, KEYED, RECALLED, as necessary.

ID and consecutive number (CN) fields are 1–7 characters in length, as required.

ID numbers included in the print format string (<ID> command) must be set using the UID EDP command.

Ticket header (AE) inserts information specified for the HDRFMT header format.

* If nn is not specified, 1 is assumed. Value must be in the range 1–99. ** After receiving an SU command, the indicator sends unformatted data until the next SU command is received. Unformatted data omits decimal points, leading and trailing characters.

Table 6-1. Print Format Commands

NOTE: The <G2>, <N2>, and <T2> commands listed in Table 6-1 print the gross, net, and tare weights in nondisplayed units-that is, in the units not currently displayed on the indicator.

6.2. Default Ticket Formats

Table 6-2 shows the default print formats for the IQ plus 710 and lists the conditions under which each print format is used. The HDRFMT format is used to specify header information that can be used by the other ticket formats. The contents of the HDRFMT format can be inserted into any other ticket format using the <AE> formatting command.

6.3. Customizing Print Formats

The following sections describe procedures for customizing print formats using the EDP port, the front panel (PFORMT menu), and the Revolution configuration utility.

6.3.1. Using the EDP Port

With a personal computer, terminal, or remote keyboard attached to the IQ plus 710 EDP port, you can use the EDP command set to customize the print format strings.

To view the current setting of a format string, type the name of the print format and press ENTER. For example, to check the current configuration of the GFMT format, type GFMT and press ENTER. The indicator responds by sending the current configuration for the gross format:

GFMT=<G> GROSS<NL>

To change the format, use the GFMT or NFMT EDP command followed by an equals sign (=) and the modified print format string. For example, to add the name and address of a company to the gross format, you could send the following EDP command:

GFMT=MOE'S DUMP<NL>2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2><G> GROSS<NL>

A ticket printed using this format might look like the following:

MOE'S DUMP 2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD SMALLTOWN

1345 LB GROSS

The ticket above could also be formatted by specifying the company address information in the HDRFMT ticket format, then substituting the <AE> command for the address in the GFMT ticket format:

HDRFMT=MOE'S DUMP<NL>2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2> GFMT=<AE><G> GROSS<NL>

6.3.2. Using the Front Panel

If you have no access to equipment for communication through the EDP port or are working at a site where such equipment cannot be used, you can use the PFORMT menu (see Figure 6-2) to customize the print formats.

CF 121 42 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 47

Using the PFORMT menu, you can edit the print format strings by changing the decimal values of the ASCII characters in the format string.

NOTES:

• Lower-case letters and some special characters cannot be displayed on the IQ plus 710 front panel (see the ASCII character chart) and are shown as blanks. The IQ plus 710 can send or receive any ASCII character; the character printed depends on the particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.

• Because commas and periods are shown as part of the digit on the front panel, display and displayed position of commas entered into a print format may not reflect the actual printed output.

6.3.3. Using Revolution

The Revolution configuration utility provides a print formatting grid with a tool bar. The grid allows you to construct the print format without the formatting commands (<NL> and <SP>) required by the front panel or EDP command methods. Using Revolution, you can type text directly into the grid, then select weight value fields from the tool bar and place them where you want them to appear on the printed ticket.

Figure 6-1 shows an example of the Revolution print formatting grid.

Figure 6-1. Revolution Print Format Grid

CF 121 43 v 2.1, June 2003

Figure 6-2. PFORMT Menu, showing Alphanumeric Character Entry Procedure

7.0 TRUCK MODES

The truck in/out modes are used to handle multiple truck ID numbers and tare weights. Six truck modes combine stored ID, keyed tare, and value swapping features in various ways:

Mode Stored IDs Keyed Tares Value Swapping MODE1 NO YES YES MODE2 NO NO YES MODE3 YES YES YES MODE4 YES NO YES MODE5 YES YES NO MODE6 YES NO NO OFF

Table 7-1. Truck Mode Features

Stored IDs let you keep a database of truck IDs and tare weights in the indicator’s memory. The indicator can automatically store up to 300 truck IDs and tares; or it can clear the information after printing a weigh-out ticket. For example, if the same truck seldom crosses the scale, it may not be practical to save its ID number and tare weight. However, if that same truck crosses the scale many times each day, it’s much more convenient to store the information in the indicator memory and recall it when needed. Stored IDs and tare weights are available in Modes 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Keyed tares allow you to manually enter the tare weight using the numeric keypad and the TARE key. Keyed tares are available in Modes 1, 3, and 5.

CF 121 44 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 49

NOTE: Some local regulations require the tare weight to be read from the scale. If so, don’t use the keyed tares feature.

Value swapping ensures that the lowest of two weight values associated with a particular ID number is entered as the tare weight. For example, if a truck crosses the scale fully loaded at weigh-in, then unloads and crosses the scale empty at weigh-out, the indicator automatically assigns the lesser (empty truck) weight as the tare. Value swapping is available in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4.

To select a truck in/out mode, press the setup switch to enter setup mode. Use the navigation keys to go to the PROGRM menu, then to the TARE100 submenu. Figure 7-1 shows the structure of the TARE100 submenu.

Figure 7-1. TARE100 Truck Mode Selelctions

7.1. Using the Truck Modes

All the truck in/out modes let you quickly search the memory for a specific ID number. ID information can be displayed, cleared, or printed by doing the following:

• To display a particular ID, key in the ID number and press the DISPLAY TARE key. If the number is in memory, it is shown on the display. Otherwise, the indicator displays NO ID. Press ENTER to toggle between the ID number and tare weight.

• If the ID number is not known, press ID to display the first available ID in the register, then press DISPLAY TARE to display the next ID. Each time you press DISPLAY TARE, the next number appears on the display.

• To display all stored IDs, key in any ID number and press DISPLAY TARE. Each time you press DISPLAY TARE, the next number appears on the display.

• To clear one or more truck IDs, display an ID you want to delete, then press CLEAR. The indicator responds by prompting CLR REG??. To clear only the displayed ID, press CLEAR again. To clear all truck IDs, press ENTER, then press CLEAR when the CLR ALL?? prompt is shown.

• To print all stored ID numbers and their associated tare weights, press PRINT when an ID number is on the screen.

7.1.1. Modes 1 and 2

In modes 1 and 2, the indicator erases truck ID numbers and tare weights from memory after the transaction.

1. The truck moves onto the scale for weigh-in.

2. If keyed tares are enabled (Mode 1), key in the desired tare weight and press TARE.

3. Key in an ID number (up to 7 digits) and press ID. This information remains in memory until the weigh-out ticket is printed.

4. The indicator prints the weigh-in ticket (TRWIN format) shown below:

ID. NO. 304812 GROSS 15000. LB INBOUND 08/04/1998 10:24 AM

5. The loaded truck moves onto the scale for weigh-out.

6. Key in the ID number from the weigh-in ticket and press PRINT. The indicator prints a weigh-out ticket (TRWOUT format) and automatically clears the information from memory: If the tare weight is a keyed tare, the word KEYED is printed after RECALLED on the tare line.

7.1.2. Modes 3, 4, 5, and 6

In modes 3-6, the indicator stores the tare weights and ID numbers in memory until you manually erase them.

1. The truck moves onto the scale for weigh-in.

2. If keyed tares are enabled (Modes 3, 5), key in the desired tare weight, then press TARE.

CF 121 45 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 50

3. Key in an ID number (up to 7 digits) and press I.D. This information remains in memory until manually deleted.

4. The indicator prints the weigh-in ticket (TRWIN format). Truck leaves.

5. The loaded truck moves back onto the scale for weigh-out.

6. Key in the ID number and press PRINT. The indicator prints the weigh-out ticket (TRWOUT format). If value swapping is enabled (modes 3 and 4), the lower weight is always printed as the tare weight.

ID. NO. 304812 GROSS 100000. LB TARE 15000. LB RECALLED NET 85000. LB 08/04/1998 10:55 AM

7.1.3. Single-Transaction Tare Weights and IDs

Temporary tare weights are supported in all modes that can be configured to use stored IDs (TARE100 modes 3-

6). This function allows one-time weighing of trucks without adding the truck ID and tare weight to the indicator

database. To use this function, enter a truck ID containing a decimal point, then press ID. Tare weights and Truck IDs entered using decimal truck IDs are erased from the indicator database when the transaction is complete.

8.0 SETPOINTS

The IQ plus 710 indicator provides twenty programmable setpoints for control of both indicator and external equipment functions. Setpoints are configured to trip based on specified conditions; tripping the setpoint can be used to request indicator functions (print, tare, accumulate) or to change the state of a digital output controlling external equipment.

Figure 8-1 shows the general structure of the SETPTS menu. See Section 3.2.7 for a detailed description of the SETPTS menu. The eighteen setpoint kinds are described in Table 8-1.

Figure 8-1. SETPTS Menu

CF 121 46 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 51

8.1. Batch and Continuous Setpoints

IQ plus 710 setpoints can be either continuous or batch setpoints.

Continuous setpoints are free-running: the indicator constantly checks the input channel for the setpoint value at each A/D update. If the input channel weight reading matches the setpoint value, the indicator sets the corresponding digital output on. Batch setpoints are active one at a time, in an ordered sequence. The IQ plus 710 can use batch setpoints to control up to twenty separate batch processing steps. A digital output associated with a batch setpoint is on until the setpoint condition is met, then latched for the remainder of the batch sequence.

To use batch setpoints, you must activate the BATCHNG parameter on the SETPTS menu. This parameter defines whether a batch sequence is automatic or manual. AUTO sequences repeat continuously, while MANUAL sequences require a BATSTRT digital input, BATSTART EDP command, or STRTBAT macro command before restarting. As shown in Table 8-1, GROSSSP, NETSP, and RELSP setpoint kinds can be configured as either batch or continuous setpoints.

The BATCH parameter must also be set on for each batch setpoint. If the setpoint is defined but the BATCH parameter is off, the setpoint operates as a continuous setpoint, even during batch sequences.

Kind Description Batch Continuous OFF Setpoint turned off/ignored. GROSSSP Gross setpoint. Trips when the current gross weight matches this value. NETSP Net setpoint. Trips when the current net weight matches this value. +RELSP Positive relative setpoint. Trips at a specific value above the referenced

setpoint.

–RELSP Negative relative setpoint. Trips at a specific value below the referenced

setpoint.

%RELSP Percent relative setpoint. Trips at a specific percentage value of the referenced

setpoint.

PAUSE Pauses the batch sequence indefinitely. Operator must activate the BATSTRT

digital input to continue processing.

DELAY Delays the batch sequence for a specified time. The length of the delay (in

tenths of a second) is specified on the Value parameter. WAITSS Wait for standstill. Pauses the batch sequence until the scale is at standstill COUNTER Specifies the number of consecutive batch sequences to perform. AUTOJOG Automatically jogs the previous filling operation. COZ Center of zero. The digital output associated with this setpoint is activated when

the scale is at center of zero. No value is required for this setpoint. INMOTON In motion. The digital output associated with this setpoint is activated when the

scale is not at standstill. No value is required for this setpoint. INRANGE In range. The digital output associated with this setpoint is activated when the

scale is within capacity range. No value is required for this setpoint. –GROSS Negative gross weight. The digital output associated with this setpoint is

activated when the gross weight reading is less than zero. No value is required

for this setpoint. –NET Negative net weight. The digital output associated with this setpoint is activated

when the net weight reading is less than zero. No value is required for this

setpoint. BATCHPR Batch processing signal. The digital output associated with this setpoint is

activated whenever a batch sequence is in progress. No value is required for

this setpoint. TIMER Tracks the progress of a batch sequence based on a timer. The timer value,

specified in tenths of a second on the VALUE parameter, determines the length

of time allowed between start and end setpoints. The indicator START and

END parameters are used to specify the start and end setpoints. If the END

setpoint is not reached before the timer expires, the digital output associated

with this setpoint is activated.

CF 121 47 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 52

CONCUR Allows a digital output to remain active over a specified portion of the batch

sequence. Two types of concur setpoints can be configured:

Type 1 (VALUE=0): The digital output associated with this setpoint becomes active

when the START setpoint becomes the current batch step and remains active

until the END setpoint becomes the current batch step.

Type 2 (VALUE > 0): If a non-zero value is specified for the VALUE parameter, that

value represents the timer, in tenths of a second, for this setpoint. The digital

output associated with this setpoint becomes active when the START setpoint

becomes the current batch step and remains active until the timer expires.

NOTE: If more than one concurrent setpoint is configured, each must be

assigned to a different digital output.

Table 8-1. Setpoint Kinds

8.2. Batching Examples

8.2.1. Example 1

The following example uses seven setpoints to dispense material from a hopper in 100 LB batches and to automatically refill the hopper when its weight drops below 300 LB.

Digital inputs 1 and 2 are assigned to batch start and batch run functions: BATRUN must be on (low) before the BATSTRT input starts the batch.

DIGIN1=BATSTRT DIGIN2=BATRUN BATCHNG=MANUAL

Setpoint 1 ensures that the hopper has enough material to start the batch. If the hopper weight is 300 LB or higher, setpoint 1 is tripped.

SETPOINT=1 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=300 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON ALARM=ON

Setpoint 2 waits for standstill, then performs a tare to put the indicator into net mode.

SETPOINT=2 KIND=WAITSS PSHTARE=ON

Setpoint 3 is used as a reference (relative setpoint) for setpoint 4.

SETPOINT=3 KIND=NETSP VALUE=0 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=OFF

Setpoint 4 is used to dispense material from the hopper. When the hopper weight falls to 100 LB less than its weight at the relative setpoint (setpoint 3), digital output 1 is set off.

SETPOINT=4 KIND=–RELSP VALUE=100 TRIP=LOW BATCH=ON DIGOUT=1 RELNUM=3

CF 121 48 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 53

Setpoint 5 is used to evaluate the gross amount of material in the hopper after dispensing, and to maintain a minimum material level in the hopper. When the hopper weight falls below 300 LB, digital output 2 becomes active and the hopper is refilled to 1000 LB.

SETPOINT=5 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=300 TRIP=HIGHER HYSTER=700 BATCH=ON DIGOUT=2

Setpoint 6 is used to ensure that the operation performed in setpoint 4 is completed within 10 seconds. The START and END parameters identify the setpoints monitored by the timer. If the timer expires before setpoint 5 starts, digital output 4 is turned on as an alarm to signal a process fault.

SETPOINT=6 KIND=TIMER VALUE=100 START=4 END=5 DIGOUT=4

Using the ACCESS Parameter

The ACCESS parameter should be set ON when creating and testing batch routines. Once the batching routine is complete and ready for production, ACCESS can be set to OFF to prevent changes to the configured setpoint value, or to HIDE to prevent changing or viewing the value.

Setpoints with ACCESS=ON can be turned on or off when a batch is not running by doing the following:

• To turn the setpoint off, use the SETPOINT key to display the setpoint, then press CLEAR

• To turn the setpoint on, use the SETPOINT key to display the setpoint, then press ENTER

8.2.2. Example 2

The following example uses seven setpoints to control a two-speed fill operation where both fast and slow feeds are on simultaneously.

Digital inputs 1 and 2 are assigned to batch start and batch run functions: BATRUN must be on (low) before the BATSTRT input starts the batch.

DIGIN1=BATSTRT DIGIN2=BATRUN BATCHNG=MANUAL

Setpoint 1 ensures that the scale is empty (0±2 LB).

SETPOINT=1 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=0 TRIP=INBAND BANDVAL=2 BATCH=ON

Setpoint 2 checks for the weight of a container (¡Ý 5 LB) placed on the scale.

SETPOINT=2 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=5 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON

Setpoint 3 waits for standstill, then tares the container weight, placing the indicator in net mode.

SETPOINT=3

CF 121 49 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 54

KIND=WAITSS PSHTARE=ON

Setpoint 4 starts the fast fill operation. When the net weight reaches 175 LB, the setpoint trips and digital output 1 is set off.

SETPOINT=4 KIND=NETSP VALUE=175 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON DIGOUT=1

Setpoint 5 controls the slow fill operation. When the net weight reaches 200 LB, the slow fill is stopped (see Setpoint 7), the indicator waits for standstill and performs a push print operation using the SPFMT ticket format.

SETPOINT=5 KIND=NETSP VALUE=200 PSHPRINT=WAITSS TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON DIGOUT=2

Setpoint 6 is a continuous setpoint, used to allow the slow feed output to be on at the same time as the fast fill. The slow fill output (digital output 2) is turned on when setpoint 4 (fast fill) starts and remains on until setpoint 5 begins.

SETPOINT=6 KIND=CONCUR VALUE=0 START=4 END=5 DIGOUT=2

8.3. Batching Switch

The batching switch option, PN 19369, comes as a complete unit in an FRP enclosure, with legend plate, locking stop switch (mushroom button), and a run/start/abort 3-way switch.

Figure 8-2. Batching Switch

Both switches are wired into the indicator's digital I/O terminal strip as shown in Figure 8-3. Each switch uses a separate digital input.

Once cables and switches have been connected to the indicator, use the setup switch to place the indicator in setup mode. Use the DIGIN menu (see Section 3.2.8) to configure digital input functions. The default values for DIGIN1 and DIGIN2 are BATSTRT and BATRUN, respectively.

CF 121 50 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 55

When configuration is complete, exit setup mode. Initialize the batch by turning the 3-way switch to ABORT, then unlock the STOP button (the STOP button must be in the OUT position to allow the batch process to run). The batching switch is now ready to use.

WARNING: If no digital input is assigned to BATRUN, batching proceeds as if BATRUN were always on: If DIGIN2 is not assigned to BATRUN, the batch will start when the 3-way switch is turned to RUN, but the STOP mushroom button will not function.

Figure 8-3. Batching Switch Wiring Diagram

To begin a batch process, turn the 3-way switch to START momentarily. If the STOP button is pushed during the batch process, the process halts and the button locks in the IN position.

The START switch is ignored while the STOP button is locked in the IN position. The STOP button must be turned counterclockwise to unlock it, then released into the OUT position to enable the 3-way switch.

To restart an interrupted batch from the step where it left off, do the following:

1. Unlock STOP button (OUT position)

2. Turn 3-way switch to START

To restart an interrupted batch from the first batch step, do the following:

1. Turn 3-way switch to ABORT

2. Unlock STOP button (OUT position)

3. Turn 3-way switch to START

NOTE: Use this procedure (or the BATRESET EDP command) to initialize the new batch routine following any change to the setpoint configuration.

9.0 MACRO PROGRAMMING

Up to four macro sequences can be programmed for the IQ plus 710 indicator. Each macro provides a simulation of up to 30 front panel key presses and can be used to provide single-key, automated operation of a number of processes, including operator identification, prompts, setpoint editing, and batch control.

NOTES:

• Macro steps are performed at the display update rate. Configure the update rate (DSPRATE parameter on the FORMAT menu) to 2 seconds (2SEC) or faster.

• To stop a running macro, press the ESCAPE key.

9.1. Using the Macro Submenu

Macros can be programmed using the front panel, EDP commands, or the Revolution configuration utility. Figure 91 shows the structure of the MACRO submenu under the PROGRM menu; Table 9-1 describes each of the MACRO submenu parameters.

9.2. Macro Programming Examples

WARNING: To prevent injury and equipment damage, always test macros and batching routines thoroughly before

connecting the indicator to a live system.

9.2.1. Example 1

The following example uses a macro to provide operator prompts for a simple container filling procedure. The single setpoint is used to check for a full container; when tripped, the setpoint releases the pause in step 5 of the macro.

With the indicator in setup mode, the following EDP commands are sent to program the setpoint and assign prompts used by the macro.

SETPOINT=1 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=5 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=OFF DIGOUT=NONE 67 SETPOINT=2 KIND=NETSP VALUE=200 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=OFF DIGOUT=NONE PROMPT#1=ADD BOX PROMPT#2=ADD MATERIAL PROMPT#3=REMOVE BOX

NOTE: Prompts are assigned using the PROMPT#n EDP command or the PROMPTS parameter on the PROGRM menu. Prompts are recalled for display during macro execution using the NAME.n EDP parameter or the NAME parameter under the macro submenu. The macro shown below is started when the operator presses the F1 macro key:

MACRO1.K08=NAME.3

1. The first macro step waits for an empty box to be placed on the scale. The prompt ADD BOX is shown on the secondary display until setpoint 1 changes state.

2. The second macro step continues to display the prompt ADD BOX on the secondary display while waiting for the scale to settle out of motion. When scale motion stops, the pause is released and the macro continues.

3. The macro performs a tare operation in step 3, taring the box weight and placing the indicator in net mode at 0 LB.

4. In step 4, the secondary display prompts the operator to ADD MATERIAL. The prompt is held on the display until setpoint 2 changes state (COMPR2). When the setpoint trips, the pause is released.

5. In step 5, the macro again waits for the scale to settle out of motion.

6. In step 6, the macro performs a print operation using the NFMT ticket format.

7. Step 7 places the macro in gross mode, displaying the weight of both the box and the material.

8. The secondary display prompts the operator to REMOVE BOX in step 8. The prompt is held on the display until the gross weight on the scale comes within the specified zero tracking band. The ZTRKBND parameter on the CONFIG menu, or the ZTRKBND EDP command, must be set to a value other than OFF.

9.2.2. Example 2

The following example uses a combination of macros and batch routines to control a two-speed filling operation. The operation includes a batch filling operation followed by two macro-controlled hand-add operations and a mixing operation.

With the indicator in setup mode, the following EDP commands are sent to program the setpoints and assign prompts used by the macros.

SETPOINT=1 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=0.6 TRIP=INBAND BANDVAL=0.2 BATCH=ON DIGOUT=NONE NAME=1

SETPOINT=2 KIND=WAITSS PSHTARE=ON DIGOUT=NONE

Digital inputs 1 and 2 are connected to a batching switch and configured for BATSTRT and BATRUN inputs (see Section 8.3). The batching switch must be on to enable the STRTBAT (batch start) commands in the macros.

Digital input 3 is wired to digital output 3. When the setpoints associated with the digital outputs are tripped, the output activates the digital input to start the next macro.

DIGIN1=BATSTRT DIGIN2=BATRUN DIGIN3=KF1

The macro shown below is started when the digital output from setpoint 6 goes active (DO3 wired to DI3):

1. Step 1 of the macro displays the prompt ADD BLUE DYE on the secondary display until 0.4 LB is detected on the scale (setpoint 7).

2. Step 2 waits for scale standstill. Step 3 tares the weight on the scale, placing the indicator in net mode.

3. Step 4 displays the prompt ADD GREEN DYE on the secondary display until 1.0 LB is detected on the scale (setpoint 8).

4. Step 5 waits for scale standstill. Step 6 prompts the operator to TURN MIXER ON until motion, caused by running the mixer, is detected.

5. Steps 7 and 8 provide 60-second timers and prompts for the mixing operation.

6. Step 9 displays the prompt TURN MIXER OFF,

7. then waits for standstill.

8. Step 10 displays the prompt FINISHED until the gross weight on the scale drops below 1.0 LB.

9.2.3. Example 3

The following example describes how a series of macros can be programmed to provide single-key reprogramming of setpoint values. Table 9-2 shows the values of three setpoints used to fill different proportions of ingredients for three products.

Setpoint Values PRODUCT A PRODUCT B PRODUCT C INGRED 1 100 150 110 INGRED 2 200 250 210 INGRED 3 300 350 310

Table 9-2. Setpoint Values for Three-Ingredient Products

With the indicator in setup mode, the following EDP commands are sent to program three gross setpoints to their initial values and assign setpoint names used by the macros.

SETPOINT=1 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=100 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON ACCESS=ON NAME=1 DIGOUT=1

SETPOINT=2 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=200 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON ACCESS=ON

CF 121 57 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 62

NAME=2 DIGOUT=2

SETPOINT=3 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=300 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON ACCESS=ON NAME=3 DIGOUT=3

BATCHNG=MANUAL

PROMPT#1=INGRED 1 PROMPT#2=INGRED 2 PROMPT#3=INGRED 3 PROMPT#4=LOAD PRODUCT A PROMPT#5=LOAD PRODUCT B PROMPT#6=LOAD PRODUCT C

Next, three macros are programmed to allow reassignment of the setpoint values for each of the three products. Each macro uses the SETPOINT key to change the setpoint value: the SETPOINT key is pressed once to call up setpoint 1; press SETPOINT again to call up setpoint 2. Each time the SETPOINT key is pressed, the value of the next setpoint is shown. The three macros listed below reset the setpoint values for PRODUCT A, PRODUCT B, and PRODUCT C. MACRO1 sets the values of setpoints 1Ð3 to the initial values listed above.

NOTES:

• When the front panel SETPOINT key is pressed, the indicator waits before showing the first setpoint value. A timer is inserted before each setpoint value entry to show the ingredient number. Press to edit setpoint values.

• Pause release parameters (PAUSREL, NAME, TIMEOUT) are entered on separate EDP commands, but are treated as a single keystroke.

10.1.2. Using the XE EDP Command

The XE EDP command can be used to remotely query the IQ plus 710 for the error conditions shown on the front panel. The XE command returns a decimal number representing any existing error conditions. If more than one error condition exists, the number returned is the sum of the values representing the error conditions (see Table 10-

2). For example, if the XE command returns the number 1040, this value represents the sum of an A/D reference error (1024) and an A/D calibration checksum error (16).

10.2. Status Messages

Two EDP commands, P and ZZ, can be used to provide status about the indicator.

• The P EDP command returns whatever is currently shown in the indicator’s primary display area.

• The ZZ EDP command returns whatever is currently shown in both the primary and secondary displays.

Depending on the type of device used to receive data from the indicator, the standstill and center of zero symbols may be shown as spaces or as special characters.The ZZ command returns information in the following format:

PPPPPPP uu ssssssssssssssss where:

• PPPPPPP is the information shown on the primary display

• uu is the 2-digit units annunciator

• ssssssssssssssss is the contents of the secondary display

If the indicator is in an underrange or overload condition, the weight value is replaced with &&&&&& (overload) or :::::: (underrange).

10.3. TARE and ZERO Key Functions

The function of the front panel TARE and ZERO keys depends on the value specified for the REGULAT parameter on the PROGRM menu. Table 10-3 describes the function of these keys for each of the regulatory modes.

10.4. Data Formats

10.4.1. Continuous Output Serial Data Format

If continuous transmission is configured for the EDP or printer port (STREAM parameter on the SERIAL menu), the IQ plus 710 sends data using the Consolidated Controls serial data format shown in Figure 10-1:

CF 121 62 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 67

Figure 10-1. Continuous Output Serial Data Format

10.4.2. Demand Output Serial Data Format

When demand mode is configured for the EDP or printer port in the setup menus (PRNDEST on the SERIAL menu), the IQ plus 710 uses a data string formatted for a basic ticket printout. The particular ticket format printed depends on the indicator configuration. You can use the EDP port or keypad to fully customize the ticket to work with a wide variety of printers, scoreboard displays, and other remote equipment. See Section 6.0 for more information on custom print formats.

10.4.3. RS-485 Data Formats

The IQ plus 710 has a built-in RS-485 software protocol which is enabled when you assign a non-zero address to the indicator. Valid RS-485 addresses must be in the range 1-255; the address is specified on the ADDRESS parameter on the SERIAL menu. All remote commands are initiated using the data format shown in Figure 10-2:

Figure 10-2. RS-485 Send Data Format

If the initiating device address matches the port address of an IQ plus 710 on the RS-485 network, that indicator responds. For example, with demand outputs, or in response to a KPRINT command, the responding indicator uses the format shown in Figure 10-3:

Figure 10-3. RS-485 Respond Data Format

Example: To send the KPRINT command from an ASCII terminal to an indicator at address 65 (decimal) on the

RS-485 network, use the format shown in Figure 10-2.

• The keyboard equivalent for the start-of-text (STX) character is CONTROL-B (see Table 10-4).

CF 121 63 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 68

• The indicator address (65) is represented by an upper case “A”.

• The carriage return (CR) character is generated by pressing the ENTER key.

Therefore, to send the KPRINT command to the indicator at address 65, enter the following at the terminal: CONTROL-B, A, K, P, R, I, N, T, ENTER. The indicator responds with the format shown in Figure 10-3:

<STX> A SCALE #1 <EOL> GROSS 1699 LB<EOL> 08/20/1998 10:05 AM<EOL>

<ETX> <CR> If continuous transmission is configured for the EDP port (STREAM parameter on the SERIAL menu), the IQ plus 710 sends data using the data format shown in Figure 10-4:

Figure 10-4. RS-485 Continuous Data Format

10.5. ASCII Character Chart

Use the decimal values for ASCII characters listed in Tables 10-4 and 10-5 when specifying print format strings on the IQ plus 710 PFORMT menu. The actual character printed depends on the character mapping used by the output device.

The IQ plus 710 can send or receive any ASCII character value (decimal 0-255). Due to limitations of the indicator display, some characters cannot be shown.

10.6. Digital Filtering

Standard digital filtering uses mathematical averaging to eliminate the variant digital readings that the A/D converter sends periodically because of external vibration. Digital filtering does not affect the indicator measurement rate, but does affect the settling time. The selections from 1 to 256 reflect the number of readings averaged per update period. When a reading is encountered that is outside a predetermined band, the averaging is overridden, and the display jumps directly to the new value.

CF 121 65 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 70

DIGFLx Parameters

The first two digital filtering parameters, DIGFLT1, and DIGFLT2, are configurable filter stages that control the effect of a single A/D reading on the displayed weight. The value assigned to each parameter sets the number of readings received from the preceding filter stage before averaging. The overall filtering effect can be expressed by adding the values assigned to the two filter stages:

DIGFLT1 + DIGFLT2 For example, if the filters are configured asDIGFLT1=16, DIGFLT2=8, the overall filtering effect is 24 (16 + 8). With this configuration, each A/D reading has a 1-in-24 effect on the displayed weight value. Setting the filters to 1 effectively disables digital filtering.

RATTLETRAP

® Filtering

RATTLETRAP digital filtering (RATTRAP parameter set ON) uses a vibration-dampening algorithm to provide a combination of the best features of analog and digital filtering. The RATTLETRAP algorithm evaluates the frequency of a repeating vibration then derives a composite displayed weight equal to the actual weight on the scale less the vibration-induced flaws. It is particularly effective for eliminating vibration effects or mechanical interference from nearby machinery. Using RATTLETRAP filtering can eliminate much more mechanical vibration than standard digital filtering, but will usually increase settling time over standard digital filtering.

DFSENS and DFTHRH Parameters

The digital filter can be used by itself to eliminate vibration effects, but heavy filtering also increases settling time. The DFSENS (digital filter sensitivity) and DFTHRH (digital filter threshold) parameters can be used to temporarily override filter averaging and improve settling time: DFSENS specifies the number of consecutive scale readings that must fall outside the filter threshold (DFTHRH) before digital filtering is suspended. DFTHRH sets a threshold value, in display divisions. When a specified number of consecutive scale readings (DFSENS) fall outside of this threshold, digital filtering is suspended. Set DFTHRH to NONE to turn off the filter override.

Setting the Digital Filter Parameters

Fine-tuning the digital filter parameters greatly improves indicator performance in heavy-vibration environments. Use the following procedure to determine vibration effects on the scale and optimize the digital filtering configuration.

1. In setup mode, set the digital filter parameters (DIGFLT1 and DIGFLT2) to 1. Set DFTHRH to NONE. Return

indicator to normal mode.

2. Remove all weight from the scale, then watch the indicator display to determine the magnitude of vibration

effects on the scale. Record the weight below which all but a few readings fall. This value is used to calculate the DFTHRH parameter value in Step 4. For example, if a heavy-capacity scale produces vibration-related readings of up to 50 lb, with occasional spikes to 75 lb, record 50 lb as the threshold weight value.

3. Place the indicator in setup mode and set the DIGFLTx parameters to eliminate the vibration effects on the

scale. (Leave DFTHRH set to NONE.) Find the lowest effective value for the DIGFLTx parameters.

4. Calculate the DFTHRH parameter value by converting the weight value recorded in Step 2 to display divisions:

threshold_weight_value / DSPDIV In the example in Step 2, with a threshold weight value of 50 lb and a display division value of 5D: 50 / 5D = 10. DFTHRH should be set to 10DD for this example.

5. Finally, set the DFSENS parameter high enough to ignore transient peaks. Longer transients (typically caused

by lower vibration frequencies) will cause more consecutive out-of-band readings, so DFSENS should be set higher to counter low frequency transients.

Reconfigure as necessary to find the lowest effective value for the DFSENS parameter.

10.7. Conversion Factors for Secondary Units

The IQ plus 710 has the capability to mathematically convert a weight into many different types of units and instantly display those results with a press of the UNITS key. Secondary units can be specified on the FORMAT menu using the SECNDR parameter, or by using EDP commands.

CF 121 66 v 2.1, June 2003

Page 71

• To configure secondary units using the front panel menus, use the Table 10-6 to find the conversion multiplier for the MULT parameter. For example, if the primary unit is pounds and the secondary unit is short tons, set the MULT parameter to 0.000500.

• To configure secondary units using EDP commands, use the Table 10-6 to find the conversion multiplier for the SEC.MULT command. For example, if the primary unit is pounds and the secondary unit is short tons, send the EDP command SEC.MULT=0.0005<CR> to set the multiplier for the secondary units.

NOTE: Ensure that the secondary decimal point position is set appropriately for the scale capacity in the secondary units. If the converted value requires more digits than are available, the indicator will display an overflow message (OVERFL).

For example, if the primary units are short tons, secondary units are pounds, and the secondary decimal point is set to 8888.888, the indicator will overflow if 5 tons or more are applied to the scale. With 5 tons applied, and a conversion factor of 2000, the secondary units display needs five digits to the left of the decimal point to display the 10000 lb secondary units value.
