PRECAUTION: Please read this manual carefully before energizing the indicator. Perform the commissioning operation according the procedure given here. Use trained personnel for cleaning, commissioning, checking and service of the indicator. The interference of untrained personnel may cause some unwanted damages or injures.

4.1 Mechanical Installation

First of all please determine the place where your indicator can operate safely. This place should be clean, not getting direct sun light if possible, with a temperature between -10 ºC and +40 ºC, humidity not exceeding 85% non-condensing. Take care to the housing dimensions and the suggested panel hole dimensions given in chapter 3.5. All the cables should be installed safely to avoid mechanical damages. To avoid electrical noise protect your indicator which has very low input signal level from the equipment that produces electrical noise, especially in panel mounting.

4.1.1 Jumpers

There are three jumpers on the instrument‟s main board/weighing board for calibration and for switching on/off. To change the position of this jumpers, open the housing and perform the necessary changes before energizing the indicator.

Figure 4.1 Main board

4.2 Electrical Connections

4.2.1 Power Supply and Grounding

FT-13 is available with 230 V AC power supply or 24 V DC or 12 V DC power inlet. The 230 V AC indicators are supplied with a power cable; the DC indicators are supplied with a special connector for the power inlet. Prepare your power voltage according to your instrument‟s power inlet. The DC connector pin configuration can be found in Figure 4.2 below.

The quality of the instrument‟s ground will determine the accuracy and the safety of your indicator. A poor ground can result in an unsafe condition if an electrical short cuircuit happens. A good ground connection is needed to minimize extraneous electrical noise pulses. It is important that the instrument does not share power lines with noise-generating equipment such as heavy load switching, motor control equipments, inductive loads, etc. If the condition of the power line in the plant is bad, prepare a special power line and grounding. If you have to service the indicator, turn off the power and wait at least for 30 seconds before interfering. All connectors are at the rear side of the housings of desk and panel types. The stainless steel housings must be opened to make the required connections. These connections must be done as described below.

The load cell wiring should be made carefully before energizing to avoid damages to the weight indicator and the load cells. The input resistance of the load cells that you want to connect should be more than 58 Ω. The sense pins of the instrument should be connected. In 4-wire installations the sense and excitation pins with the same polarity should be short circuited at the connector side.

4.2.3 Digital I/O Connections

FT-13 is equiped with a digital I/O board which provides 4 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs. The meanings of the various I/O depend on the selected standard filling programme (see chapter 7).

Figure 4.3 Digital I / O ports connection diagram

The electrical connection of the inputs and outputs should be made as shown in the Figure 4.3 The power for the digital I/O has to be supplied from an external power supply module. Ground (Pin no. 2) and +24 V (Pin no. 1) must both be wired accordingly.

Additional Digital I/O Board

Depending on the housing type an additional digital I/O board can be added to FT-13. The additional inputs and outputs are not used in the standard filling programmes, but can be used depending on the customized application programming (requires special development order from the customer and customized firmware programming in the factory). The pin numbers are the same as the first 4 input / 8 output connector located on the instrument, but the meanings depend on the application software downloaded to the instrument.

4.3 Commissioning

After making the required installations and connections to your indicator, turn the power on and perform following steps:

Get familiar with the instrument‟s setup mode (see chapter 6.1) Define the configuration parameters (see chapter 6.3)* Define the scale parameters (see chapter 6.4) Calibrate the scale (see chapter 6.5)

* Note: Most of the parameters can be skipped for later setup. Please take care for the parameters which may be locked by the J2 calibration jumper in legal for trade applications (see Appendix 1: Setup and Calibration Menu of the instrument).

After checking the performance of your weighing instrument you can begin to use the indicator. If there are peripheral connections, first you should turn the power off; make the peripheral connections,

perform the required safety checks and energize the indicator. Then set the related parameters and check if the peripheral devices are operating properly.

If required perform following additional steps:

Set up the filling programme (see chapter 7) Set up the serial interfaces (see chapter 8) Set up other communication interfaces (see chapter 8)

Description

Typical Application

Filling above the open container

Liquid or bulk filling into container

Filling below the bunghole of the container

Above level liquid filling

Below surface filling in the container

Liquid filling for foaming products

Filling and emptying Type 1

Automatic bag filling machines

Accurate filling and accurate discharging

Filling the bag

Filling by weighing the bag

Bag filling from hopper scale

Filling machines with hopper and bag catcher

7.1 Overview

FT-13 has 9 standard filling programmes for common filling applications as indicated below.

7.2 Commissioning

To start up the filling system, please follow these steps:

1. Select your filling programme

2. Prepare the digital I/O connections according to the selected filling programme (see chapter 4.2.3)

3. Set up and calibrate the scale (see chapter 6)

4. Enter the process parameters for the selected filling programme as explained in chapter 7.3 and 7.6

5. a. If you don‟t use recipes: Enter Target, tolerance and preset values as explained in chapter 7.4 b. If you use recipes: Enter the recipes as explained in chapter 7.5

6. Perform tests and optimise the filling process

You can find the meaning of the filling parameters in the filling cycle diagram shown below (Fig. 7.1). In this diagram the instrument does not follow the weight during coarse and fine feeding control delay periods. This increases the reliability of the system. The actual weight value is read out at the end of the settling time. This allows for better tolerance control and / or cut-off point adjustment.

Figure 7.1 Typical filling cycle diagram (displayed weight vs time)

You can change the target and preset values very quickly via keys. If you use the recipe memory, you can select the recipe (set of target, preact, dribble, tolerance, coarse, middle, fine) to spare time for different filling applications.

This parameter defines a limit for preact correction. If the filling error is larger than this value , the preact correction is not applied. Factory default setting is 100%.

[cd X.X]

Time delay before maximum settling time starts; no operation; Factory default setting = 0.0 s

[SL X.X]

Maximum settling time; Factory default setting = 1.0 s; the maximum value range is 9.9 s

[5--] Filling Block [50-] + [51-] Filling Parameters

In this section the programme selection is done and the main filling parameters are defined.

[500 X] Programme selection

[501 XX] Preact correction factor

The material flow may change because of changes in temperature, viscosity, height of the material, etc. This causes filling errors and the fine value has to be changed accordingly. FT-13 follows the filling errors and adjusts the new preact value for the next filling cycle if the filling error is smaller than the value entered in parameter [503]. The adjustment rate is defined by this parameter in percentage, the factory default setting is 30%. The new preact value is calculated by the formula below:

New fine lead in = Fine lead in + (Actual – Target ) x Preact correction factor/100

[502 X] Preact correction frequency

Type FT-13 can adjust the fine value according to the filling error of the previous filling cycle. The preact adjustment is applied each time after a certain number of filling cycles which is defined here to decrease the filling time. The new fine value is calculated according to the entered rate in parameter [501]; e.g, if the value of this parameter is set to “3”, the preact correction is done after each 3 filling cycles. X = 0, 1, 2, 3…9; factory default setting is 1.

Attention: This parameter must be set to “1” if all cycles have to be controlled for tolerances. If you don‟t

want to make preact correction but data logging or tolerance check, then adjust parameter [502] to “1”

and parameter [501] to “0”.

[503 ] Preact correction limit

[504 X.X] Coarse feeding and middle feeding control delay

When the coarse feeding / middle feeding starts, the weight control is delayed for this time period. This is particularly helpful if an extreme weight increase happens due to material strikes on the scale at the beginning of the filling. The maximum value of this parameter is 9.9 s, factory default setting is 0.7 s.

[505 X.X] Fine feeding control delay

When the fine feeding starts the weight control is delayed for this time period for preventing coarse feed overshoot effects. The maximum value of this parameter is 9.9 s, factory default setting is 0.7 s.

[506 X.X] Maximum settling time

If the weight display is not stable within the maximum settling time after the filling, FT-13 activates the error output and gives a stability alarm. In this case the tolerance control cannot be performed.

Attention: Settling time is enabled when the preact correction function is enabled (parameter [502] ).

[507 X.X] Jogging time

If the filling weight is less than the target value, further material is added step by step with the time period

entered here. If it is set to “0”, no material addition is applied. It can be entered as a multiple of 100 ms. Factory default setting is “0”.

FT-13 Technical Manual, Rev. 1.40 March 2013

Page 32 of 56

[508 ] Maximum filling time

[ XXXXXX ]

This parameter controls the filling / discharging process time. If the filling / discharging

time exceeds this time period, an error message appears [FıLL t]. If it is set to “0”,

there will be no control. It can be entered as a multiple of 100 ms. Factory default setting is 0.

[ XXXXXX ]

This parameter defines the maximum allowed weight value in gross. If the displayed weight or the sum of the target weight and the tare weight is higher than the defined value the message [OVER] is shown on the display. Factory default setting is 3000 kg.

0 : Disabled (factory default setting)

1 : Enabled

0 :

The filling quantity entered by the <Q> key decreases automatically after each filling cycle and a warning message appears when it is zero (factory default setting).

This parameter defines the automatic zeroing period in [s]. The zeroing is performed automatically at the next filling cycle after this time period. For legal for trade applications the value entered here shall be less than the value calculated at the OIML R-61 section A.5.3.5. If the zeroing will be done each cycle, this value shall be entered less than the minimum filling time. The allowed value range goes up to 5399 s (= 90 minutes).

[50d XX] Fine feeding time at cycle start

This parameter defines the fine feeding time before the coarse feeding. If this parameter is set to “0”, the

filling operation starts with the coarse feeding. It can be defined up to 99 s.

[50E ] Zeroing period

[50F X.X ] Zeroing delay

This parameter defines the zeroing delay time before zeroing. It can be defined up to 9.9 s. The factory default is 3.0 s.

Error Message

Description

The “Tare range” error message appears if the tare of the

container is not between the minimum and maximum tare values defined in the process parameters. If the error is not present anymore it can be acknowledged by a reset. Valid for programme 0, 1 and 2.

This message appears if tareing is not possible, e.g. if the weight is negative or the scale is not stable. It is shown alternately to the weight value. When the conditions become normal, the error is acknowledged by the start input in fillling or the discharge input in discharging.. Valid for programme 0, 1, 2, 4 and 5.

This means the weight is out of the zero range at the beginning of the filling cycle. It can be acknowledged by the start input. Valid for programme 3, 6 and 8.

This message appears if zeroing cannot be done at the beginning of the filling, e.g. the weight can be higher than the zeroing range or not stable. It is shown alternately to the weight value. This error is canceled by the reset input. Valid for programme 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8

At the end of filling, if the weight is out of the filling tolerances, this message appears. It is shown alternately to the weight value. The error is acknowledged by the start input. Valid for programme 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8

It shows the filling period is extended. The filling valves are closed. The error is acknowledged by the reset input. Valid for programme 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question:

The Ether X could not reach the FT-1x instrument.

Answer:

1. Check the local network connection

2. Check if the IP address of the indicator is convenient for your network

3. Check the PC Ethernet output with other network instruments

4. Check the existence of the Ethernet related parameters in the instrument setup (see chapter 8.3.3). If you cannot not see these parameters in the setup, please check the proper installation of the Ethernet board.

5. Change the Ethernet option board.

Question:

The Ether X software could reach the FT-1x instrument, but you can‟t communicate with the instrument.

Answer:

The port number of the indicator is not convenient for port numbers of your application software. Check the port number of the indicator by using the Ether X software.

Question:

How can I check the communication?

Answer:

You can use any communication program like HyperTerminal which is supplied with your Windows operating system (Microsoft).

1. Open the HyperTerminal and choose a name for the connection. Press OK.

2. Then enter the Ethernet address of the indicator and the port number as shown at the left. Also you need to set the connection type to “TCP/IP (WinSock)”.

3. To test the connection now, you can set the Ethernet output of the indicator to “continuous” (refer to chapter 8.3.3).

With an active HyperTerminal you should now be able to follow the data stream.

- Details of an example: Loading value “5000” to Target

Calculate check sums:

1. Load a 16–bit register with FFFF hex (all 1‟s). Call this the CRC register.

2. Exclusive OR the first 8–bit byte of the message with the low–order byte of the 16–bit CRC register, putting the result in the CRC register.

3. Shift the CRC register one bit to the right (toward the LSB), fill a zero into the MSB. Extract and examine the LSB.

4. (If the LSB was 0): Repeat Step 3 (another shift). (If the LSB was 1): Exclusive OR the CRC register with the polynominal value A001 hex (1010 0000 0000 0001).

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until 8 shifts have been performed. When this is done, a complete 8–bit byte will have been processed.

6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the next 8–bit byte of the message. Continue doing this until all bytes have been processed.

7. The final contents of the CRC register is the CRC value.

8. When the CRC is placed into the message, its upper and lower bytes must be swapped as described below.
