The Model 370 and Model 375 come standard with a six digit, 7-segment bright green LED display. The Model 370 and Model 375 will display alphanumeric data, but due to the nature of 7segment LED and the limitation of six digits, some information is abbreviated.

The display also has 11 annunciators to show weight and status information. The SP1, SP2, and SP3 annunciators are red, green, and yellow. Also there is an annunciator for a third unit under kg. Place the third unit label above the third Annunciator (refer to Figure 1-6). See page 24 for third unit setup.

All segments and annunciators are illuminated for a brief display test upon power up. The current gross weight is then displayed in default units.

REMOTE DISPLAY CONNECTIONS

It is possible to connect a Model 370/375 to another 300 Series or 60 Series indicator and ha ve the remote indicator display a copy of the master indicator or customize the display of the remote (slave) indicator. The remote (slave) indicator’s keypad will operate the master indicator. Refer to page 55 to configure the master and remote (slave) displays. There are several different configurations for Master to remote (slave) indicator connection and setup. Refer to Table 1-3 for comm port connections.

Supply Voltage Jumper (E6)

This allows for a choice in scanner power supply pins and to minimize modifications to a cable or connector.

Comm port 1 has two pins on the DB 9 connector which provide + 5 volts to supply power to a scanner. The jumpers located on E6 of the main board will reroute the power (+ 5 volt) to either pin 9 or pin 4 depending on jumper orientation.

Pin 9 (Default) Pin 4

The power (+ 5 volt) and remote key pins are switched. Refer to Figure 1-8 for the jumper location on the main board. Refer to the Barcode Scanner manual for the power pin location.

Chapter 2: O

This chapter will provide detailed instructions on installing each option. Additional hardware may be needed for the Model 370/375 depending on which options you will be installing.

Also this chapter provides instructions on how to configure all Model 370 / 375 options. This includes setup mode parameters, connections, calibration and testing.

PTION INSTALLATION

CCoommmmuunniiccaattiioonn

RS-485 NETWORKING

The module converts the standard RS-232 communication on comm port 1 to RS-485. However the advantage of using the RS-485 module, aside from the ability to transmit over long distances, is the ability to network multiple indicators or parts counters using the same communication wires. When networking indicators or parts counter, it is necessary to set up a network address for each scale. The network module itself does not require addressing, rather each indicator or pa rts counter must be enabled for network addressing in the setup mode. Refer to page 26 for details on the RS-485 enable parameter (P250) and the network address parameter (P251).

Installation Instructions

1. DISCONNECT POWER! UNPLUG THE MODEL 370/375 TO INSURE DAMAGE WILL NOT OCCUR DURING OPTION INSTALLATION.

2. Remove the six 8 mm screws (size) from the bottom plate. Separate the top enclosure from the bottom plate.

3. Remove the IC chip and white jumper from the U4 socket on the main board.

4. Snap in the plastic spacers into the three mounting holes surrounding the U4 socket. Refer to Figure 2-1.

5. Gently press the option board into the socket and make sure the board snaps onto the standoffs.

6. Reinstall the enclosure bottom plate.

Figure 2-1: RS-485 / 20 mA Option Installation

RS-485 Connections (Comm Port 1)

The Model 370/375 will be connected to a peripheral via the DB 9 connector on comm port 1. Refer to Table 2-1 for wiring connections.

Page 14

Table 2-1: RS-485 Comm Port 1 Connections

Comm port 1 pin out Connection

1 No connection 2 TX (B+) 3 TX (A-) 4 VCC 5 ISO ground 6 Ground 7 RX (A-) 8 RX (B+) 9 VCC

Half Duplex (2-wire)

Installing jumpers 1, 2 and 4 on the RS-485 option board electrically connects pin RX B(+) to pin TX B(+), and pin RX A(-) to pin TX A(-) on the option board. This effectively provides two + and two - pin connections, enabling easy connection of network lines in parallel from device to d evice without having to position two wires into the same lever socket. A B(+) line from each device on the network should be connected in parallel to the next device on the network. This is also true for all A(-) lines.

The units inside the two end-points of the network loop will utilize both A(-) pin connections and both B(+) pin connections. The units at the end-points of the network will utilize only one A(-) pin connection and one B (+) pin connection.

Full Duplex (4-wire)

Removing jumpers 1, 2 and 4 on the RS-485 option board requires that the transmit and receive lines be wired independently of one another. The RX B(+) and RX A(-) receive lines must be wired in parallel to the next device's RX B(+) and RX A(-) receive lines and the TX B(+) and TX A (-) transmit lines must be wired in parallel to the next device's TX B(+) and TX A(-) transmit lines.

Page 15

In order to connect network lines in parallel from device to device it is necessary to position two wires into the same lever socket. This requires that the wire used to build the network be 24 AWG or smaller to allow both wires to fit into the same lever socket.

Both Half Duplex and Full Duplex

The network boards on both end-points should install jumper 3 on the RS-485 option board to engage the 120 W termination resistor (R8). The boards between the two en d-points should remove jumper 3 on the RS-485 option board.

The isolated ground (ISO GND) should be connected in parallel from unit to unit. A shielded twisted two pair cable is recommended throughout the network.

20 MA CURRENT LOOP OPTION

This option will convert the comm port 1 to a 20 mA current loop instead of an RS-232. This is a digital communication signal and should not be confused with a 4 to 20-mA (or 0-20 mA), which are analog output signals. The intended use is primarily printers and scoreboard displays.

This option will mount into the socket for the comm port RS-232 chip on the main board. This option will exclude the use of the RS-485 option board. (I.e. only the RS-485 OR the 20 mA option can be installed into a Model 370/375).

Installation Instructions

1. DISCONNECT POWER! UNPLUG THE MODEL 370/375 TO INSURE DAMAGE WILL

NOT OCCUR DURING OPTION INSTALLATION.

2. Remove the six 8 mm screws (size) from the bottom plate. Separate the top enclosure

from the bottom plate.

Page 16

3. Remove U4 and the white jumper from the socket of the main board.

4. Snap in the plastic spacers into the three mounting holes surrounding the U4 socket.

Refer to Figure 2-1.

5. Gently press the option board into the socket and make sure the board snaps onto the

standoffs.

6. Reinstall the enclosure bottom plate.

BI-Directional

Both the transmit output and the receive input of the Model 370/375 are available as 20 mA signals. None of the handshake signals are supported for the 20-mA current loop operation.

Baud

Only baud rates of 9600 baud and less are supported.

Active/Passive

The Tx output may be used as an active or passive output from the Model 370/375. Either active or passive is chosen depending upon which terminals are used for the connections. In active mode the Model 370/375 supplies the current. In passive mode, the external device supplies the current. The Rx input is available in passive mode only.

Isolation

The input and output are electrically isolated from the main board as well as earth ground and each other, for both passive and active modes of operation. Isolation is a minimum of 1000v.

Max Voltage

Active mode Tx current loop provides a driving voltage of 12v. This will allow 20 mA current flow with up to a 600 ohm load. Passive mode will work with an external driving voltage of up to 50v.

Connections

The field connections to the 20 mA circuitry will be made at the 9 pin 'D' connector on the rear of the Model 370/375.

Cable

The length for the current loop is 1000 ft. maximum. This is for the entire loop, not from device to device. Example: 1 transmitter and 1 receiver can have a maximum of 500 ft. of 2 conductor cable between them.

Page 17

Connected Devices

While 20 mA current loops can allow for more than one transmitter and/or receiver, the Model 370/375 and/or option board do not include any address recognition or collision avoidance and/or detection to promote this usage. If the 20-mA loop is intended to be used in this manner, proper planning for these issues is required.

option mounting bracket installation instructions.

10. Connect all necessary wiring to the setpoint option board.

11. Reinstall the enclosure bottom plate.

SETPOINT CARD CONNECTIONS

Using one of the software setpoint configurations (see General Setpoint Setup on page 36) in conjunction with the setpoint option board gives the Model 370/375 the ability to directly control external devices such as valves, relays, actuators, etc.

There are up to three setpoint outputs available. The activation and deactivation is controlled by the setpoint configuration. The outputs are capable of driving up to one Amp at 20-280VAC & 2 Amp at 3-60VDC. The solid state relays are normally open (NO) contacts.

SELECTION PARAMETERS

Selection parameters have a pre-defined list of choices to pick from. Each choice is numbered and corresponds to a certain value. The choice number is shown to the right of the decimal point within the parameter number. Repeatedly pressing [TARE] (Model 370) or [SAMPLE/Enter] (Model 375) while viewing a selection parameter cycles through the available choices, or you can key in the choice number.

P 200.00

Indicates Parameter Parameter Number Choice Number

For example, parameter 200 (P200) is a selection parameter that holds the baud rate for the serial port. This is a selection parameter because a choice number between 00 and 12 must be used. Each choice number corresponds to a different baud rate. To change the baud rate from the default value of 9600 to 4800, perform the following steps from the Setup Mode.

change the baud rate from the default value of 9600 to 4800:

1. Key in 200 [SELECT] DISPLAY READS P200.00 ~ Baud ~ 9600

2. Press [TARE] (Model 370) or [SAMPLE/Enter] (Model 375) once. DISPLAY READS P200.01 ~ Baud ~ 4800

PARAMETER MAP DETAILS

P110 Full Scale Value (Key in)

Denotes the full-scale capacity. This value should not exceed the rated capacity of the weighing device.

P111 Division Size (Selection)

Indicates the count-by and decimal point. Pressing [ZERO] + [TARE] (Model 370) or [CLR] (Model 375) will automatically select the choice closest to 30,000 divisions without exceeding 30,000 divisions.

P112 Zero Track Aperture (Selection)

Set in terms of number of divisions. Zero tracking eliminates small weight deviations at or near zero. Weight deviations within the selected window that have been stable for more than one second are tracked off, maintaining a gross or net zero condition.

The sum of weight values zeroed with auto zero tracking and [ZERO] cannot exceed the allowable zero range (P118).

To determine the proper setting in a counting application, divide the weight of the smallest product counted by the division size (P111). Zero track should be set to 0 (off) for most setpoint filling operations. This prevents tracking off any product trickle at the start of a fill process.

P114 Stability (Selection)

Stability is defined as weight fluctuations within an aperture that can be regarded as being a stable weight. Deviations outside this aperture are considered motion, and the motion annunciator on the front panel will light accordingly. Once the scale settles within the stability aperture, the Model 370/375 will wait for a period of time specified by the motion delay (P115) before the Model 370/375 is considered stable.

Print operations configured as motion delayed (P114) will not send the specified data until the weight reflects a stable reading as designated by this setting. Certain setpoint operations are also considered motion delayed and will not change states until a no-motion condition exists.

P115 Stability Delay (Selection)

Selects the stability (motion) time delay to a resolution of 0.1 seconds. For example, an entry of 25 will be accepted as 2.5 seconds.

P116 Filter (Selection)

Sets the Model 370/375 response time in terms of seconds. Filtering determines how quickly the Model 370/375 will respond to changing input signals. A low filter setting speeds the response, a higher filter setting will 'dampen' the response.

Filtering is used to filter out weight fluctuations caused by outside sources, such as vibrations or air currents.

P117 Rate (Selection)

Specifies how often the display is updated with new data and the rate of continuous transmits (if P210 or P230 are enabled). For example, if 0.05 is selected, the Model 370/375 will write data to the display and send continuous transmits 20 times a second. Selections from 0.05 to 20.0 seconds are available. The actual rate may be less than (P117). The actual rate depends on the Model 370/375 speed (P60090), the size and number of transmits (P1000, P2000, P210, and P230), and COM ports' speed (if echo (P290) is enabled or continuous transmits are enabled).

P118 Zero Range (Selection)

Specifies how many divisions can be zeroed in terms of a percentage of full scale (P110). The sum of weight values zeroed through the [ZERO] key and auto zero tracking cannot exceed this range.

Page 30

A zero range of 5% is commonly used with large tank scales to avoid accidental zeroing of a full or partially full tank.

P119 Multi-Point Linearization (Toggle)

Enable the five-point linearization feature used during load cell calibration.

P150 Units (Toggle)

Set default units to 'lb', 'kg' or ‘other’ (third unit). The Model 370/375 must use the default units during calibration procedures (see Chapter 4:). The default units are the displayed units upon power-up. If ‘other’ is chosen, P152 must be set to one of the available unit selections.

P151 Units Button (Toggle)

When enabled, this parameter will allow [UNITS] to toggle between 'lb', 'kg' (1000g) or third unit. When disabled, the Model 370/375 will show only the calibration units as determined by P150.

P152 Third Unit (Selection)

This parameter will allow the choice of three additional units (ounces, grams or lb oz) that may be accessed with the [UNITS] key. Only one unit will be available at a time. The third unit can only be selected if P151 is enabled. The third unit will be identified by an annunciator on the display below the ‘kg’ annunciator.

P161 Tare Save (Toggle)

Enabling Tare Save allows the Model 370/375 to retain the tare value in the event of power loss. The correct net weight is restored upon power-up.

P166 Auto Tare (Toggle)

When enabled, pressing [TARE] will wait for a no-motion condition and then bring the scale to a net zero reading. Disabling will prevent keypad tare operations.



P167 Keyboard Tare (Toggle)

If P167 is disabled, then the user cannot view tare using the select key. Also, it will block numeric tare (manually entering tare) and show the message; "Funct" "disbl". The only way you can tare is using the automatic tare (press [TARE] to tare the weight on the scale). When P167 is on, the user can view tare using the select key (tare will follow Net). The unit will accept numeric tare. On the Model 375, a known tare amount may be keyed in with the numeric keypad. On the Model 370, a known tare amount may be keyed in with the [PRINT] and [UNITS] keys.

P169 Auto Tare Clear (Toggle)

Enabling this feature will cause the current tare value to be cleared to zero every time the Model 370/375 stabilizes within ±5 graduations of gross zero

P171 Analog (Toggle)

Enable or disable the optional analog output module. See Analog Output Setup on page 35 for all parameters associated with the Analog Output Module.

P179 Count (Toggle)

When enabled, the quantity mode becomes accessible via the [SAMPLE/Enter] or [SELECT] key. The quantity mode is identified by the illumination of the QTY annunciator.

P200 Baud (Comm 1) (Selection)

Set the desired baud rate for the communication port. 150 - 115K bps

Note that if a setpoint activation method is set to [TARE], disabling Auto Tare will also disable the activation of that setpoint.

P201 Data Bits (Comm 1) (Toggle)

Select 7 or 8 data bits for the transmission.

Page 31

P202 Parity (Comm 1) (Selection)

Select Odd, Even or None for the transmission parity.

P203 Stop Bits (Comm 1) (Toggle)

Select 1 or 2 stop bits for communication port transmissions.

P204 Comm Handshake (Comm 1) (Selection)

Select from None, Software (Xon/Xoff), Hardware (CTS/RTS), or Both.

P210 Send (Comm 1) (Selection)

Transmission Send options:

Choice Number Selection Name Description

P210.00 Off All transmissions disabled. P210.01 Press Sends transmission with [PRINT] key. P210.02 Cont. Sends transmissions continuously.

P210.03 Cycle P210.04 ID Sends transmission with the stored ID.

Choice 16 (RSD 3000):

CUSTOM TRANSMIT

The serial output of the Model 370/375 can be configured for a custom application such as a remote display format, a customized computer program format, or a customized ticket format. The custom transmit must be designed in a computer-transmittable ASCII text file. The custom transmit can only be loaded into the Model 370/375 through the serial port. P213 or P233 must be set to 0 to select the custom transmit format for transmission.

Elements Of A Custom Transmit

Parameters, ASCII text, and control codes are the elements of a custom transmit.

Parameters

Certain parameters related to weight, quantity, setpoints and status can be sent out of the comm port. Gross Weight, Target 1 and Quantity are examples of printable parameters.

ASCII Text

ASCII text can be entered into a custom transmit to provide further detail of a transaction. "P", "@" and "+" are examples of ASCII text.

Control Codes

You can custom transmit ASCII control codes to control a printing device. <CR> (carriage return) and <FF> (form feed) are examples of control codes. When entering a control code in a custom transmit table, use three digits preceded by a decimal point. Example: Start of Text <STX> = 2. Key in .002.

Writing A Custom Transmit ASCII Text File

Any text editor may be used to construct a custom transmit (Notepad, Wordpad, etc.), but you must save the custom transmit as a text (.txt) file. Instructions can also be sent keystroke by keystroke from a communications program. To do so, ignore the Model 370/375 display and enter the characters in the correct order. Figure 3-1 shows a custom transmit written in Wordpad.

Accessing Setup And Clearing Existing Custom Transmit

Every custom transmit file must start with: 1999%s%s%z%p%u%e

%c%e This accesses the Setup Mode at the end of the existing transmit and then clears the transmit so

that a new one may be entered.

Figure 3-1: Custom Transmit File

Entering ASCII Text

ASCII text is defined as printable characters, including alpha-numerics as well as punctuation and symbols. See Table 3-2 for a complete listing of ASCII characters. ASCII text can be entered directly into a custom transmit with a %e (enter command). For example, Joe's Fertilizer Plant%e.

Entering ASCII Control Codes

Some ASCII characters are known as control codes, non-printable characters that instruct a printing device to perform certain functions. For example, a carriage return <CR> forces a printer to move the print head to the left-most position of the current line. A line feed <LF> forces the print head to move down one line. Enter control codes with a decimal point, a 3-digit ASCII code, and a %e. For example, .013%e.

Page 43

ACTIVATION METHODS (GENERAL)

Setpoint activation for Fill, Batch, Discharge, and Both can be initiated in one of two ways: Tare or Auto. Check-weigh operations have no start function. Independent setpoint operations are limited to Above or Below activation. The Model 370 and Model 375 setpoint option board may be connected in-series with a larger automated control system or a manually activated switching device. A foot switch, a two-hand safety station, or other permissive-start devices may be used for safety or system compatibility.

Activation Method Description

Tare Operation [TARE] activates the setpoint. It waits for a no-motion condition, then tares scale to net zero.

Remote Key Auto-Start

Pre-Acts (General)

Pre-Acts are control actions prior to reaching a desired target value. Necessary to prevent overfilling due to product flow rate, relay and valve response time and product suspension, Pre-Acts and other system variables affect how much more product reaches the weighing device after the Model 370/375 has deactivated a setpoint.

The appropriate setpoint is then activated.

The [REMOTE KEY] closure does not exist on the Model 370/375. Do not use

this choice.

Automatically activates the setpoint. It waits for a no-motion condition, then adds the target to the current displayed weight to achieve a relative cutoff value.

Pre-act 1

Used in dual-speed applications, pre-act 1 specifies when the 370/375 should switch from fast-fill to slow-fill, allowing the system to perform the bulk of a filling operation as quickly as possible before switching to a more manageable dribble mode for final cutoff. When using a single-speed device, set pre-act 1 to 0.

Pre-act 2

Specifies the weight where the final cutoff should occur, enabling the 370/375 to compensate for a dispensing control's closure time and account for free-fall material. Free-fall is the amount of product that has passed the point of the dispensing control yet not yet reached the weighing device.

Pre-act values are entered in terms of the amount of product that would over-fill or 'how early' to close the control device. For instance, after repeated tests, a system consistently over-fills by .5 lbs. This is the value that should be entered as the pre-act. The 370/375 would then deactivate the setpoint .5 lbs. less than the desired final target value.

Parameter Setting Actual Cutoff Value Comments

Target = 400 lbs. Desired final weight. Pre-Act 1 = 28 400 – 28 = 372 Switch to slow feed at 372 lbs. Pre-Act 2 = .5 400 – 0.5 = 399.5 Final fill valve closes at 399.5 lbs.

Learn Feature (General)

The Model 370/375 can 'learn' optimal pre-act values. When enabled, the learn feature will automatically adjust the final cutoff value based on an analysis of the five previous fills, helping achieve a final target by compensating for product viscosity, changes in plant air pressures, sticky valves, etc. For each cycle, the prior five final weights are analyzed and a new pre-act value is calculated.

Pause Feature (General)

The Model 370/375 can pause setpoint operations. This is useful as a safety device, for mid-cycle operator breaks, mechanical adjustments, etc.

Page 44

When invoked, Pause deactivates all setpoints. The display will show: “Tare= ~ Abort”. Pressing [TARE] will abort the current cycle; any other keypress will resume the cycle. The Pause feature has four settings:

Changing Targets From The Weigh Mode (General)

When a setpoint operation is configured from the Setup Mode, certain parameters are made available in the Weigh Mode. Pressing [SELECT] cycles through available modes (Gross, Net, Quantity, Targ 1, etc.).

When viewing a setpoint-related parameter from the Weigh Mode, [TARE] takes on a special function. Data keyed in prior to [TARE] will be displayed as the new setpoint parameter value. Pressing [TARE] alone will advance to the first subset for the current setpoint parameter. Preacts and tolerances are subsets of their respective target values.

A negative target value many be entered for the independent setpoints only. To enter the negative sign press [PRINT] then [PRINT] + [UNITS] (Model 370 ) or [TARE] (Model 375). A negative sign will be displayed. Press [TARE] to continue with the entry

Programs that involve a discharge cycle are loss-in-weight type applications. Any target or pre-act values for these programs should be entered as positive numbers. The Model 370/375 will automatically interpret these values as negative.

Example (General)

The target for the fill setpoint operation is Targ 1. This is a setpoint-related parameter and automatically becomes an available mode when Fill is configured in the setpoint setup. Pre-act 1 and pre-act 2 are subsets of Targ 1. The following procedure illustrates how to change a target from 25 lbs to 40 lbs., keep pre-act 1 at 2 lbs. and change pre-act 2 from .15 lbs to .05 lbs.

PERCENTAGE CHECK-WEIGHING

This feature is commonly used in check-weigh applications. After a target weight is entered, upper and lower tolerances are entered as a percentage of the target. Over and under tolerance values are automatically calculated according to the percentages entered. The desired target may be based on gross weight, net weight or quantity (if counting is enabled).

DISCHARGE

The discharge program is designed for single-speed or dual-speed dispensing of product from a larger weigh vessel. Discharge is a loss-in-weight application similar in operation to the fill program. When a discharge is initiated, the scale automatically tares and comes to a net zero weight. The appropriate setpoints are activated and material is discharged until the decreasing net weight reaches the desired target value.

BOTH

The 'Both' program combines a fill operation with a discharge operation. This automates a singlespeed vessel filling operation with a single-speed multiple dispensing function. Setpoint 1 is used for filling the vessel and Setpoint 2 is used for product discharge. The 'both' program uses values for two targets and two pre-acts. Both targets must be based alike (net or quantity, quantity if count is selected).

Changing Targets From The Weigh Mode (Both)

When Both is configured in the setpoint setup, Targ 1 and Targ 2 automatically become available modes for the [SELECT] key. An entry followed by [TARE] or [SAMPLE] changes the currently viewed target. Pressing [TARE] or [SAMPLE] alone allows access to the subsets. PA 1 is the subset for Targ 1 and PA 2 is the subset for Targ 2.



Pre-acts 1 and 2 are always available as subsets of their respective targets from the Weigh Mode.

Since the discharge portion of the Both cycle is a loss-in-weight operation, target 2 and pre-act 2 entries are entered as positive values and interpreted by the Model 370/375 as negative. See Changing Targets from the Weigh Mode (General) on page 38 for detailed instructions on changing target values from the Weigh Mode.

Example (Both)

With a system set up to fill a weigh vessel with 2000 lbs. of paint and to meter out the paint in 45 lb buckets, the following settings might be used:

High Value = 51.50 50.00 – 51.50 lbs.

Comments

Low acceptable range = 49.50 to 50.00 lbs. High acceptable range = 50.00 to 51.50 lbs.

INDEPENDENT SETPOINT OPERATION

Independent Setpoints allow controlling setpoints when the gross, net or quantity (if counting is enabled) is above or below a target value. The reset (deactivation) choice of each setpoint is selectable from Tare, Remote Key, Auto, Non-latching or Absolute. See Key-In Parameters on page 18 for instructions on using front panel keys for data entry.

Page 54

Activation Method (Independent)

Independent Setpoints can be activated when either the gross weight, net weight or quantity (if counting is enabled) is above or below a target value. When an independent setpoint is set to Activate Above, the setpoint will activate when the selected mode (gross, net or quantity) is equal to or above the target. When set to Activate Below, the selected mode must actually be below the target.

Changing Targets From The Weigh Mode (Independent)

When Independent Setpoints are configured in the setpoint setup, Targ 1, 2 and 3 automatically become available modes for the [SELECT] key. An entry followed by [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter] changes the currently viewed target. If the reset for a setpoint is set to 'value', then pressing [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter] alone will allow access to the subset of the target. Rtrg 1, 2 and 3 are the respective subsets for Targ 1, 2 and 3. See Changing Targets from the Weigh Mode (General) on page 38 for detailed instructions on changing target values from the Weigh Mode.

Example (Independent)

Setup a continuous-cycle static weighing system that fills a weigh hopper from a storage bin. The weigh hopper should stop the fill at a predetermined target, dump the product into a bag, and then restart the fill. A warning light should come on to give an operator advance notice to change the bag. The following setup might be used to achieve 1000 lb dumps:

TARGET DEVIATION CHECK-WEIGHING

The target deviation method uses a target value in which the upper and lower tolerances are deviated from the target. The upper and lower tolerances are fixed values. The accept window is varied by adding the high tolerance to the target and subtracting the low tolerance from the target. This feature is commonly used in check-weigh applications. The desired target may be based on gross weight, net weight or quantity (if counting is enabled). The annunciators will light on the Model 370/375 display or physical setpoints can be added.

DISPLAY CAPTURE UTILITY

The Display Capture Utility sends the current display information out of the one of the available comm ports when the one of the two extended ASCII character represented by decimal 149 (hex: 95h) or decimal 150 (hex: 96h) are received through the comm port. The previous characeters can be used when the comm. port is set to 8 data bits. For 7 data bits comm. port, %[Ctrl-V] or %[Ctrl-W] can be used to replace 149 or 150 respectively. Upon receiving decimal 149, the Display Capture Utility sends the current display information out of comm. port 1. Upon receiving decimal 150, the Display Capture Utility sends the current display information out of comm. port

2. Entering a decimal 149 from a computer keyboard can be accomplished by turning on the Num

Lock and holding down the ALT key while typing the desired decimal number on the keyboard keypad (for example, <Alt>149).

The remote display function allows a master unit (370 or 375) to be echoed to another unit (350 I.S., 355 I.S., 350, 355) and be used in a remote location. There are certain parameters that must be set in order to have the master and slave units communicate together. Refer to the section below to configure the master and remote (slave) units.

MASTER TO REMOTE (SLAVE) CONFIGURATION

The remote unit will receive continuous transmission from the master unit. It is necessary to setup the protocol parameters in both units so they match in order to coordinate the transmission. See Table 3-14 for the common protocol parameters. A remote unit will not show the bargraph even if it is a LCD display.

To enter the master or remote setup (local setup)

It is possible to make changes to the master unit setup mode from either the remote unit or the master unit itself. The master unit setup mode can be entered from either the master or the remote units. However, the remote unit (slave) setup mode can ONLY be entered from the remote unit. After in the setup mode, you can make changes from the remote unit or the master unit.

To enter the master unit or remote unit (local unit) setup mode (370, 350, 350 I.S. or 355 I.S., 375):

[ZERO] + [SELECT] [SELECT], [ZERO], [PRINT], [UNITS], [TARE]

or 23640 [SAMPLE/Enter] (Model 355 or 375) After the setup mode is entered, the numeric portion on the 375 keypad is restored. When in the

remote (slave) setup, all annunciators are illuminated on the remote to distingush between the master and remote (slave) units.

SETUP MASTER UNIT

Set the following parameters on the master unit:

• P290 - Choose the communication port of the master unit the remote unit is connected to.

• P291 - Transmit any ASCII character or control code to the remote unit as a start

character before echoing unit's display. Make sure this parameter matches P274 on the remote unit.

• P292 - Transmit any ASCII character or control code to the remote unit as an ending character after echoing unit's display. Make sure this parameter matches P275 on the remote unit.

• P296 - Choose the remote unit type, a 300 series or 60 series.

Page 62

SETUP REMOTE UNIT

For an Model 370/375 to become a remote display P260 must be set for r-dsp. There are two styles in which the remote unit will display data received from the master unit. These styles are display and custom. Choose one of the display styles at P271. Refer to page 57 for details on display and custom styles.

When set for Custom, the master unit will send customized information to be displayed on the remote unit. A parameter or text data may be transmitted to the remote unit on a continual or "on demand" basis.

Set P271 for Custom and set all other remote display parameters (refer to Table 3-15). Configure the parameters in the master unit (refer to Setup Master Unit on page 55). Make sure that the wiring connections between the master and remote units are correct (refer to Remote Display Connections on page 5. Follow the instructions below for configuring the master unit.

1. Turn echo off at P290.

2. Set the transmit to be continuous at P210 (port 1) or P230 (port 2). This is the port going to the remote unit.

3. Program custom transmit in the master unit at P1000 (port 1) or P2000 (port 2). See the example below for instructions on programming a custom transmit.

FALSE ZERO

False Zero calibrates the Model 370/375 without removing the current gross weight. This is particularly useful in tank weighing applications where it may be both time consuming and costly to completely empty the tank. This operation is achieved by establishing a false (temporary zero) zero reference. Test weights may then be added to verify calibration. The zero reference determined during the last calibration is not affected.

RESET CALIBRATION

Cal Reset may be necessary when an over-load or under-load condition exists, preventing the completion of the calibration process. Calibration Reset adjusts the zero and gain factors of the A/D amplifier to factory default values for maximum sensitivity.

After performing a calibration reset, a complete recalibration is required. The effects of a calibration reset do not take effect until the Model 370/375 recalibrated and calibration information has been saved.

If the load cell signal input to the Model 370/375 has good repeatability and stability, then using multi-point linearization during calibration may significantly improve the ultimate accuracy of the data displayed by the Model 370/375. Parameter 119 (P119) enables or disables this feature. Initially, the same basic procedures as a normal calibration are used to perform a multi-point linearization. All of the prompts provided will be exactly the same as a standard calibration for each cal point up to the Cal ~ Good? prompt.

If items are consistently being weighed on either the high or low end of the cell capacity, the points of calibration can be skewed to either end of the spectrum. Multi-point linearization can compensate for a cell that is non-linear. Refer to page 61 for the instructions on how to enter the calibration mode.

1. Remove all weight and press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter].

2. From the Enter Load prompt key in the first calibration point and press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter].

3. From the Add Load prompt add the weight of the first calibration point and press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter].

4. For calibration points 2 -5; Simply add the weight which you want to use for the next calibration point, then key in the value of the applied weight and press [TARE] or [SAMPLE/Enter]. You may wish to add weight until the displayed weight differs from the actual applied weight and then perform the next calibration at that point.

The analog output calibration procedure establishes explicit zero and full scale values for each of the three analog output modes: 0 - 10V, 0 - 20 mA and 4- 20 mA. There are five adjustment values for the analog option, located at the information parameters P61200 through P61205 that allow the zero and full scale output of each mode to be adjusted to exact values. This allows the analog option to be configured to match the needs of the system being connected to its outputs.

The calibration values for each of these modes have been determined at the factory. These values are provided on paper with each board to make calibrating the analog opt ion a simple

Entering Calibration Values

Analog calibration values can be entered into the Model 370 and Model 375 by keying in the data in the left-hand column, beginning at the line starting with "61200…", replacing the "%s" character pairs with the [SELECT] key and "%e" with the [TARE] (370) or [SAMPLE] (375) key. The line with the "%c" is not adjustable and cannot be entered.

You can adjust the included factory recommended offset and gain values to precisely configure the system being connected to these outputs. Once the initial factory values have been entered, pressing the [TARE] (370) or [SAMPLE] (375) key will cause the count value to increase one count, and pressing the [PRINT] + [UNITS] keys will decrement the count value by one count. All changes made are updated "live" to aid in calibrating a specific device to the analog option board output. Holding down the key(s) will repeat the increment/decrement action.

The Model 370/375 Analog-to-Digital Converter (A/D) is calibrated at the factory to ensure a stable, linear response to the load cell signal. This calibration procedure calculates critical val ues that are permanently stored in parameters P61110 - P61121. The A/D calibration should not be confused with the standard weight calibration. It should never be necessary to recalibrate the A/D. However, if the values stored at parameters P61110 - P61121 appear to be reset to

0.00000 and/or 1.00000, then A/D recalibration is necessary. Contact GSE Scale Systems or your local authorized GSE distributor for more information on this procedure.
