Safety instructions
Additional safety precautions
Additional safety precautions to meet the requirements of the relevant national and local accident prevention regu lations must be taken in plants where malfunctions could cause major damage, loss of data or even personal injury.
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer covers only a small area of measurement technology. Before starting up the transducer in a system, a project planning and risk analysis must first be implemented, taking into account all the safety aspects of measure ment and automation technology so that residual risks are minimized. This particularly concerns personal and machine protection. The transducers cannot implement any safety-relevant cutoffs. In the event of a fault, the relevant precautions must establish safe operating condi tions.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The transducer corresponds to the state of the art and is failsafe. The transducer may give rise to residual dangers if it is inappropriately installed or operated.

Structure and mode of operation

3 Structure and mode of operation

PW15iA digital load cells are part of the family of elec tronics developed by HBM for static and dynamic weigh ing processes. The measuring element is a steel loaded member to which strain gages (SG) are applied. The SG are arranged so that two are stretched and the other two compressed when a load acts on the load cell. The PW15iA digitally conditions the signals and delivers a fully-filtered, scaled and digitized output signal for direct connection to bus systems or PCs via the RS‐485 inter face, CANopen, or DeviceNet. Measuring element and electronics are housed in a single enclosure. The digital load cells can be quickly and easily matched to a particu lar system by various parameters, and they work with an internal data rate of up to 1200 measurements per sec ond.
The inbuilt digital inputs and outputs allow event-driven weight determination, e.g. for checkweigher applications or dosing controls. The digital outputs can be configured by software command, and can be used to control coarse flow and fine flow in dosing valves, for example.
The PanelX PC software is available to facilitate parame ter settings, to display dynamic measurement signals and for comprehensive frequency analysis of the dynamic system.
This document describes the installation and functions of the digital load cell. The commands for the interfaces can be found in the online documentation for the PanelX pro gram.

The analog measuring element signal is amplified, fil tered, and digitized in the A/D converter. This measure ment signal is conditioned (filtering, analysis) in the microprocessor, and transmitted via the interface. Depending on the configuration, the inputs and outputs can both control the processing and trigger valves, for example, subject to the signal. All the parameters can be stored power failsafe.
The digital load cells have switchable inputs or outputs: They can use a maximum of 2 inputs or 2 outputs, or one input and one output.
Detailed information on setting the different functions can be found in the online help of the PanelX program.

In the working standard calibration of the electronics (on delivery), 0 mV/V corresponds to zero and the maximum capacity is either 1,000,000digits (NOV≠0), or 5,120,000digits (NOV=0). The two parameters LDW and LWT give you the opportunity to adapt the characteristic curve to meet your requirements (scale curve) and you can use the NOV command to standardize the measured values to the required scaling value (e.g. 3000d). Detailed information can be found in the command docu mentation and in the online help for the PanelX program.
You also have the opportunity to

S activate an automatic zero on start up function, S activate an automatic zero tracking function, S linearize the scale curve with a third order polynomial, S activate various digital filters. Available filters include
those with cut-off frequencies below 1Hz, fast-settling filters for dynamic measurements, notch filters and mean value filters.
Use MSV? to read out the current measured value. The format of the measured value (ASCII or binary) is set with the COF command. You can also use the COF com mand to activate automatic measurement output. The measured values are transmitted in the following format, subject to the COF command:

3.3 Adaptive interference suppression
Whatever the mode of operation, you can use the ADF command to activate automatic interference suppression with adaptive filters. Interference frequencies are auto matically found during measurement and suppressed by comb filters and averaging. The maximum filter settling time can be limited with the TMA command.
PW15iA A4359-1.0 HBM: public 13
Structure and mode of operation
3.4 Inputs and outputs
The two I/Os can be used either as inputs or outputs. You can also set different switching levels (TTL or PLC) for the inputs. On delivery, both I/Os are set as inputs with a TTL level. Specify the function of the I/Os as inputs with commands IM1 and IM2, and the function as outputs with OM1 and OM2.
Notice
The electronics must be operated with a supply voltage of between 12 and 30V. Incorrect connections between the supply and interface cables or the digital inputs/out puts can cause irreversible damage. So you must check the correct assignment of the con nections before switching on for the first time.
3.4.1 Trigger function
In Trigger mode (command IMD1), the electronics have four different trigger functions available:
S Pre-triggering by level S Pre-triggering by external (digital) signal S Post-triggering by level S Post-triggering by external (digital) signal
Gross or net values can be used as input values. The filter settling time can be optimized by the actual elec tronics (command AST).

3.4.2 Filling and dosing
The electronics include full dosing control (command IMD2). As many as 32 parameter sets can be stored in the EEPROM for different applications. But you can still change the dosing parameters yourself during dosing. Digital outputs can be used to control coarse and fine flow, for example. The PanelX software includes detailed instructions for setting the different parameters.
3.4.3 Limit value function
In Standard and Trigger modes (command IMD), the electronics allow as many as four limit values to be moni tored (command LIV). Gross or net values, the trigger result, or the extreme values (Min/Max) are available to you as input signals. Use the measurement status to read out the status, either simultaneously with the mea sured values (command MSV?) or separately (command
RIO?).
3.4.4 Extreme value functions
The electronics include a peak value function (Minimum and Maximum, command PVS), that monitors either the gross or net values, as required. Use command PVA to read out the values and use command CPV to reset the peak values.

4 Conditions on site

Series PW15iA transducers are hermetically encapsu lated and are therefore very insensitive to the influence of moisture and humidity. The transducers achieve protec tion classes IP68 (test conditions: 100 hours under 1m water column) and IP69K (water at high pressure, steam cleaning), as per DIN EN60529 transducers must be protected against the lasting effects of moisture and humidity.
Important
Note that when using a steam cleaner, the conditions stated in EN 60529 under degree of protection IP69K such as max. pressure, max. temperature, etc., must be met.
4.1 Protection against corrosion

Structure and mode of operation
Notice
Acids and all substances that release ions also attack stainless steels and their seam welds. The resultant corrosion can cause the transducer to fail. If this is the case, you must provide appropriate means of protection.
4.2 Deposits
Dust, dirt and other foreign matter must not be allowed to accumulate sufficiently to divert some of the measuring force onto the housing, thus distorting the measured value (force shunt).
Do not use hard or pointed objects when cleaning the gap between load application and housing, or between mounting plate and housing.

5 Mechanical installation

5.1 Important precautions during installation
S Handle the transducer with care. S Welding currents must not be allowed to flow over the
transducer. If there is a risk that this might happen, you must provide a suitable low-ohm connection to electrically bypass the transducer. HBM provides the highly flexible EEK ground cable for this purpose, for example. It can be screwed on above and below the transducer.
S Make sure that the transducer cannot be overloaded.
WARNING
There is a danger of the transducer breaking if it is over loaded. This can cause danger for the operating person nel of the system in which the transducer is installed.
Implement appropriate safety measures to avoid over loads or to protect against the resulting dangers.
Notice
The length of the fastening screws must not exceed the maximum thread reach of 10mm, as otherwise the trans ducer could be damaged.
18 A4359-1.0 HBM: public PW15iA
Structure and mode of operation
Notice
The transducers are precision measuring elements, and need to be handled carefully. Dropping or knocking the transducer may cause permanent damage. Make sure that the transducer cannot be overloaded, including while it is being mounted.
5.2 Mounting and load application
Before installing several digital load cells into an installa tion with a bus system, take the following into account:
S The printed production number (type plate) is required
for setting up data communication. If the type plate can no longer be seen after installation, the numbers of each transducer should be noted beforehand. This enables different addresses to be assigned during initial operation.
S Alternatively, before connection to the bus system,
you can connect each transducer individually with a PC, in order to set different addresses (see ADR command in online help).
Mount the transducer on a clean surface with a flatness better than 0.1 mm. You can integrate overload protec tion with an M6x0.5 fine-thread screw.
To minimize off-center load errors and torques, load should be applied in the center of the platform.

6 Electrical connection

Notice
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic dis charge (ESD). So you must discharge your own static electricity before touching the connector plugs.
6.1 Cable laying
Position the connection cable so that any condensation or moisture that may occur at the cable can drip off (loop). It must not be allowed to reach the transducer. Also make sure that it is not possible for humidity or moisture to get into the cables through open ends, thus preventing damage to the cable sheath.
6.2 Pin assignment
Notice
The electronics must be operated with a supply voltage of between 12 and 30V. Incorrect connections between the supply and interface cables or the digital inputs/out puts can cause irreversible damage.
So you must check the correct assignment of the con nections before switching on for the first time.
The digital load cell comes supplied with an M12 8‐pin device socket with internal thread. An M14x1 external

nection cable
Suitable connection cables can be found in the HBM data sheet "Cables with a plug", B3644.
Please note:
S The housing of the PW15iA is connected to the cable
shield by the connector socket. To obtain an EMC­compliant connection (EMC = electromagnetic com patibility), the shield of this cable must be connected to the housing of the connected device or to ground
PW15iA A4359-1.0 HBM: public 23
Structure and mode of operation
potential. A direct, low-ohm contact must be made with the shield, via EMC-compliant PG cable glands, for example.
S Should it be necessary, a separate cable can be used
to establish potential equalization between the digital load cell and the (PC/PLC) master (grounding con cept). You must not use the cable shield for this potential equalization.
S Use shielded, low-capacitance cables only for all con
nections (interface, power supply and additional devices) - (HBM measurement cables meet these requirements).
S Electrical and magnetic fields often induce interfer
ence voltages in the measurement electronics. Do not route the measurement cables parallel to power lines and control circuits. If this is not possible, protect the measurement cable (with steel conduits, for example). Avoid stray fields from transformers, motors and con tact switches.
6.3 Supply voltage
Regulated DC voltage of +12 … +30V is required to operate the electronics and serial communication.
Voltage source requirements
S The supply voltage must be sufficiently smoothed
(RMS value minus residual ripple > 12 V).
S The electronics have a low-loss controller with a
power consumption of 3 W during operation. The cur rent consumption is therefore dependent on the level of the supply voltage:
24 A4359-1.0 HBM: public PW15iA
Structure and mode of operation
Power demand in A
S When switched on, the electronics briefly consume a
current of approx. 0.15 A. To ensure a safe start-up, the power supply must be able to provide this current without a limit being triggered. This is particularly important when supplying several PADs from one power supply. In contrast, the sustained loading is calculated from the formula shown above.
S Connection to a wide-ranging supply network is not
permitted as this often causes interfering voltage peaks to be induced. Instead, a local supply must be provided for the electronics (even when grouped).
S The supply voltage must be insulated from the shield
potential. A connection from GND to the housing is not required, but the max. potential difference must be no more than 7 V.
S The supply voltage ground wire (GND) is also used as
the reference potential for the interface signals and the digital inputs/outputs.
S In layouts with several digital load cells, the supply
can run together with the RS-485 bus lines in a 6-pin cable (with HBM junction boxes, for example). Ensure that there is sufficient wire cross-section provided, as some cable sections will conduct the supply current for all the connected electronics.

7 Interfaces

Interfaces
The ground reference for all the interface signals is based on the supply voltage ground (GND). GND (0V) of the excitation voltage must therefore also be connected, but you must not connect GND to the shield. Use a sepa rate line to connect the node digital ground to the power supply GND (0V).
Use a shielded cable as the interface cable. The shield should always be connected to the housing at both ends.
Important
Before installing several digital load cells into an installa tion with a bus system, take the following into account:
The printed production number (type plate) is required for setting up data communication. If the type plate can no longer be seen after installation, the numbers of each digital load cell should be noted beforehand. This enables different addresses to be assigned during initial opera tion.
Alternatively, before connection to the bus system, you can connect each digital load cell individually with a PC, in order to set different addresses (see ADR command in the online help).
7.1 RS‐485 4‐wire interfaces (UART)
The PW15iA comes supplied with an RS-485 interface. Bit rates of 1200 to 115,200 baud can be set for the inter face.
Either a single digital load cell can be connected via the RS485 interface, or you can set up a bus system to con
PW15iA A4359-1.0 HBM: public 27
Interfaces
nect as many as 90 digital load cells to an RS-485 inter face. All the load cells are connected in parallel on a line, the total length of the line can be as much as 500m. The software uses the different addresses to differentiate between the load cells. If the control computer only has an RS-232 interface, an interface converter is required (e.g. from HBM, ordering no.: 1-SC232/422B).
