4.1 Status Indicator LEDs
The instrument has 5 green LEDs for indication of the operating or error status.
Power supply, bus connection
* The LED for the bus activity (PR 5220/01 a. PR 5220/04) is lit as soon as there is a connection. It
continues being lit, also when there is no communication, or when the physical connection is cut.
The meaning of indicator LEDs and the operating concept are described in Chapter 4.
5.1 Data Backup/Power Failure
The calibration data and parameters as well as all configuration and interface data are stored in a
non-volatile (EAROM) memory. Unauthorized data changing can be prevented by an access code.
Additional write protection is provided for calibration data and parameters (CAL switch, see
Chapter 5.1.1).
5.1.1 CAL Switch
The CAL switch protects the calibration data / parameters against unauthorized access.
When the CAL switch is in 'open' position, the calibration data and parameters can be changed
using the PC program or via the Profibus connection.
With the CAL switch in the 'closed' position, the calibration data (e.g. dead load, Span) and
Parameters (e.g. measure time, zero tracking etc.) cannot be changed.
The CAL switch is located under a cover that can be opened by
means of a knife.
For ’legal-for-trade’ applications, set the CAL switch (4) to the
left position and seal the cover.

5.2 Switching on the Instrument
The instrument can be put into operation and calibrated using a PC with the VNC program (on the
CD packed with the instrument), an Internet Browser or the ConfigureIt program.
5.2.1 Resetting the Instrument, Activating 'DHCP'
The instrument can be reset using a pin with a diameter of 1.0 mm
(e.g. paper clip).
By actuating during approx. 1 second, the program is re-started.
When actuating during approx. 3 seonds, 'DHCP' is activated in the
instrument (independent of the previous settings). This ensures that a
valid address for identification of the instrument in the network can be
assigned to the instrument by a server.
05/11 29 51209 Revision 2
5.2.2 Searching the Instrument in the Network Using 'IndicatorBrowser'
The address can be determined using the 'IndicatorBrowser' (in a directory on the CD-ROM packed
with the instrument) program.
Install and start the 'IndicatorBrowser'.
When the instrument is connected to a network, it is
“default” in the DHCP mode, i.e. an address is
assigned to it by the server. This address, e.g.
172.24.21.85, can be determined using the
‘IndicatorBrowser’ program.
Section 5: Commissioning
5.3 Operation Using a PC
5.3.1 Operation Using the VNC Program
VNC stands for 'virtual network computing' and is a program for remote operation of computers.
The program distinguishes between the VNC server and VNC client (viewer). The server program is
part of the instrument software. The client program (viewer) must be installed and executed on the
PC to be used for operating the instrument.
For direct operation using the VNC program, the IP
address (extended by :1) must be specified when you
run the program, e.g. 172.24.21.85:1.
The address range of the
controlling PC can be
limited in the instrument;
see Chapter 5.6.5.

5.4.13 Calibration with mV/V Value
The scale can be calibrated without weights. During input of the load cell mV/V value, the
acceleration of gravity at the place of installation can be taken into account. The STAR load cell
data is based on the acceleration of gravity effective at Hamburg, Germany: 9.81379 m/s².
Calculation of the average load cell sensitivity:

cells) load of number * load (nominalcapacity cell load
Dead load: Calculation of the equivalent input voltage in mV/V
The input voltage in mV/V equivalent to the dead load can be calculated by using the dead load
rather than the maximum capacity in the formula specified above.
Normally, calculation of the dead load (scale without load/empty hopper) is not necessary.
Subsequent dead load correction (as described in Chapter 5.4.15) can be used for later redetermination of the dead load, when the scale/hopper is empty.
Example: Load cell(s) with rated output of 2mV/V at nominal load of 2000 kg, dead load 500 kg,
load cell supply voltage 12 VDC

Range limit 2 2000 kg Switch point from range 2 to 3
Multiple range scale (cl. III, or cl. I and II single range scale with variable scale interval)
With [Range mode] = [Multiple range], the scale has up to 3 ranges with different resolutions.
The switch points [Range limit 1] and [Range limit 2] are the range limits. As soon as the gross
weight exceeds range 1, the next higher range with the next higher interval becomes valid (1->2->5>10->20->50->100->200). When reducing the weight, the interval of the previous range is kept.
When the gross weight is <= 0.25 d of range 1 and the scale is stable and not tared, the scale
returns to range 1 with the corresponding interval.
Multi-interval scale (cl. III, or cl. I and II single range scale with variable scale interval)
With [Range mode] = [Multi-interval], the scale has up to three ranges with different resolutions.
Each range has the corresponding interval. Unlike [Multiple range], switching the interval is also
triggered by weight reduction; i.e., when the weight drops below the range limits.
During calibration, the multiple range/multi-interval function is always switched off.
The weight display header (VNC) includes the current range (R1, R2, R3), Max, Min and d (or e

5.7.2 Configuring Digital Inputs and Outputs
Under -[Digital I/O parameter], you can open the configuration menu for outputs and inputs:
Setup/Digital I/O parameter
Output 1 marker bit 1 X64=1
Output 2 marker bit 2 X65=1
Output 3 marker bit 3 X66=1
Input 1 on -no actionInput 1 off -no actionInput 2 on -no actionInput 2 off -no actionInput 3 on -no actionInput 3 off -no action-
Configure the required function for [Output 1] to [Output 3] by selecting a signal from the list; see
Chapter 5.7.1. The output goes to the corresponding state.
Example:
Output 1 below zero X35=1
Output 2 above Max X33=0
Output 3 center zero X36=1
Input 1 on -no action-
[Output 1] is true (active), when the weight value drops below zero (X35=1).
[Output 2] remains (active), as long as the weight is not above Max (X33=0).
[Output 3] is true (active), when the weight is zero +/- 1/4 d (X36=1).

2. Determining a condition
The selected action of each digital input can be combined with a condition that must be met for
signal change from 0 to 1 (on) or for signal change from 1 to 0 (off). Select the condition from the list;
see Chapter 5.7.1. No condition is defined when selecting [no condition]; the action is executed
directly.
Example: Taring via digital input, only if the instrument is set to gross:
Setup/Digital I/O parameter
Output 1 marker bit 1 X64=1
Output 2 marker bit 2 X65=1
Output 3 marker bit 3 X66=1
Input 1 on set tare X113=1
Condition
Input 1 off -no actionInput 2 on -no actionInput 2 off -no actionInput 3 on -no actionInput 3 off -no action-
When input 1 changes from 0 to 1 [Input 1 on], a taring signal is activated only, if the condition under
[Condition] is met (here: the scale was not tared previously; this is determined by [tare active X58=0]).

Section 6: SMA Protocol
6 SMA Protocol
6.1 General
The protocol of the 'Scale Manufacturers Association' (SMA) provides a simple access to the scale.
It can be used for reading data, or for executing functions.
The RS-485 interface is used. Fixed interface settings are 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
The commands to the transmitter are printable ASCII characters starting with <LF> = 0A hex and
ending with <CR> = 0D hex.
The instrument sends a reply on each received command after approx. 100 µs. With commands
that wait for stability of the weight value, the reply can be delayed by the waiting time.
6.2 Description of Used Symbols
All characters used in this protocol are printable ASCII characters. Characters <CR> <LF>
<SPACE> and <ESC> are excepted.
< > The symbols < and > are used to put communication fields and non-printable ASCII
characters into brackets. These symbols are never part of any communication
message.
<LF> A data set starts with a line feed character (line feed = 0A hex).
<CR> A data set ends with the carriage return character (carriage return = 0D hex).
‘_’ <space> The underscore or space character is used to mark an ASCII space character (20
hex).
<ESC> The 'escape' character (1B hex) is used to cancel a command.
‘!’ An ASCII exclamation mark (21 hex) is used for communication errors.
‘:’ An ASCII colon is used as a field delimiter.
‘-’ ASCII minus sign (2D hex)
‘?’ An ASCII question mark (3F hex) is used for unknown or non-supported commands.
‘c’ Command character. All printable ASCII characters are permitted.
<s><r><n> Scale status indicator characters; ASCII letters or spaces
<m><f> For details, see Chapter 6.6.1.
<r><e> Scale diagnostics indicator characters; upper case ASCII letters or spaces.
<c><m> For details, see Chapter 6.6.4.
<xxxxxx.xxx> Weight data including minus sign (right-adjusted) and a decimal point (if any). If
necessary, leading spaces are introduced with a leading zero before the decimal
point. The entire field is always 10 characters long. With some error states, the field
is filled up with minus signs '-'.
Examples: <_ _ _ _ _0.000>; <_ _ _ _11.120>; <_ _ _ _ -1.000>; <- - - - - - - - - ->
<yyyyyy> Text field of printable ASCII characters; for transporting scale information. The field
has max. 25 characters.
<uuu> Abbreviation of the used unit. The field is always 3 characters long; it is left-adjusted
and filled up with spaces.

6.7 Communication Error
When a communication error due to a parity error or a frame error (if used) was detected, the scale
sends an ASCII ‘!’ character. The only other error is the detection of an unknown or non-supported
command. In this case, an ASCII '?' character is sent as a reply. Dependent on the error messages,
the controlling computer must decide how to continue the scale operation.

Section 7: Fieldbus Interface
7 Fieldbus Interface
7.1 Fieldbus Interface Protocol
The interface works with an 8-byte write window and an 8-byte read window. The fieldbus
exchanges its data cyclically with each slave. This means: In each cycle, 8 bytes are written and 8
bytes are read, also if the data content is unchanged.
The fieldbus protocol ensures the data transport between the fieldbus master and the 2 x 8-byte
data windows.
The interface protocol runs under the fieldbus and manages the access to a multitude of different
data.

Section 7: Fieldbus Interface
7.1.1 Write Window (Input Area)
Data transmission from the master to the slave (PR 5220) is in this window.
The first four bytes are used only for writing a data
value.
The register number is in byte 5.
Bytes 6 and 7 contain bits in direct access independent
of the write data.
The command is executed after a 0-1 transition of the
corresponding bit.

Byte 3 Write data: LSB
Byte 4 Read_Value _Select
Byte 5 Write_Value _Select
Byte 6 Direct control bits
Byte 7 Direct control bits
7.1.2 Read Window (Output Area)
Data transmission from the slave (PR 5220) to the master is in this window.
The first four bytes are used for reading a data value.
The register number of data is mirrored in byte 4 by the
write window, when data is available.
Bytes 5, 6 and 7 contain status bits independent of the
read data.
The number of data exceeds the size of the read/write window by far. For this reason, data is
addressed with
Write_Value_Select a
nd
Read_Value_Select.
To do this, the first six bytes of the write
window and the first five bytes of the read window are required. These can be used by the master
to write data in PR 5220: e.g., a limit value is set to 100kg. The master can also read out weight
values or other data from the PR 5220. For this purpose, the write and the read window are always
required. Safe data exchange is ensured by a write and a read procedure.
For reading status bits, and for writing direct control bits, however, no procedure is required. The
general system bits and the status bits are always provided and need not be requested. The direct
control bits are also available continuously.
Procedure for reading data:
1. Writing the register number as
