Safety instructions
1Safety instructions
Appropriate use
Transducers of the PW15iA type series are designed
solely for technical weighing applications within the appli
cation limits detailed in the specifications. Any other use
is not appropriate.
Any person instructed to carry out installation, commis
sioning or operation of the transducer must have read
and understood the Operating Manual and in particular
the technical safety instructions.
In the interests of safety, the transducer should only be
operated by qualified personnel and as described in the
Operating Manual. It is also essential to comply with the
legal and safety requirements for the application con
cerned during use. The same applies to the use of
accessories.
The transducer is not intended for use as a safety com
ponent. Please also refer to the "Additional safety pre
cautions" section. Proper and safe operation requires
proper transportation, correct storage, siting and mount
ing, and careful operation.
Operating conditions
SPlease observe the allowed maximum values stated
in the specifications for:
- Limit load
- Limit load at max. eccentricity
- Limit lateral loading
- Breaking loads
- Temperature limits
4A4359-1.0HBM: publicPW15iA
Safety instructions
- Limits of electrical loading capacity
SPlease note that when several transducers are
installed in a scale, there is not always an even distri
bution of load on the individual transducers.
SThe transducers can be used as machine elements.
When used in this manner, it must be noted that, to
favor greater sensitivity, the transducer is not
designed with the safety factors usual in mechanical
engineering.
SThe design or safety engineering of the transducer
must not be modified without our express permission.
SThe transducer is maintenance-free.
SIn accordance with national and local environmental
protection and material recovery and recycling regula
tions, old transducers that can no longer be used
must be disposed of separately and not with normal
household garbage, see Section 9, Page 32.
Qualified personnel
Qualified persons means persons entrusted with the
installation, fitting, commissioning and operation of the
product who possess the appropriate qualifications for
their function.
This includes people who meet at least one of the three
following requirements:
SKnowledge of the safety concepts of measurement
and automation technology is a requirement and as
project personnel, they must be familiar with these
concepts.
SAs measurement or automation plant operating per
sonnel, they have been instructed how to handle the
machinery. They are familiar with the operation of the
PW15iAA4359-1.0HBM: public5
Safety instructions
equipment and technologies described in this docu
mentation.
SAs commissioning engineers or service engineers,
they have successfully completed the training to qual
ify them to repair the automation systems. They are
also authorized to activate, ground and label circuits
and equipment in accordance with safety engineering
standards.
Working safely
SThe transducer must not be directly connected to the
power supply system. The supply voltage must be
between 12 and 30VDC.
SError messages should only be acknowledged once
the cause of the error is removed and no further dan
ger exists.
SMaintenance and repair work on an open device with
the power on may only be carried out by trained per
sonnel who are aware of the dangers involved.
SAutomation equipment and devices must be designed
in such a way that adequate protection or locking
against unintentional actuation is provided (e.g.
access checks, password protection, etc.).
SFor those devices operating in networks, safety pre
cautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and
software, so that a line break or other interruptions to
signal transmission do not cause undefined states or
loss of data in the automation device.
SAfter making settings and carrying out activities that
are password-protected, ensure that any controls that
may be connected remain in a safe condition until the
switching performance of the device has been tested.

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
3Structure 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 1,000,000digits (NOV≠0), or
5,120,000digits (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. 3000d).
Detailed information can be found in the command docu
mentation and in the online help for the PanelX program.

Sactivate various digital filters. Available filters include
those with cut-off frequencies below 1Hz, 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:

3.3Adaptive 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.

Structure and mode of operation
3.4Inputs 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 30V. 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.
3.4.1Trigger function
In Trigger mode (command IMD1), the electronics have
four different trigger functions available:
SPre-triggering by level
SPre-triggering by external (digital) signal
SPost-triggering by level
SPost-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).

Structure and mode of operation
3.4.2Filling 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.
3.4.3Limit 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?).
3.4.4Extreme 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.

4Conditions 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 1m
water column) and IP69K (water at high pressure, steam
cleaning), as per DIN EN60529
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.
4.1Protection against corrosion
1)
. Nevertheless, the
The transducer must be protected against chemicals that
could attack the steel of the housing and base plate, or
the cable.

16A4359-1.0HBM: publicPW15iA
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.
4.2Deposits
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.

5Mechanical installation
5.1Important precautions during
installation
SHandle the transducer with care.
SWelding 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.
SMake 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 10mm, as otherwise the trans
ducer could be damaged.
18A4359-1.0HBM: publicPW15iA
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.
5.2Mounting and load application
Before installing several digital load cells into an installa
tion with a bus system, take the following into account:
SThe 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.
SAlternatively, 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.

6Electrical connection
Notice
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic dis
charge (ESD). So you must discharge your own static
electricity before touching the connector plugs.
6.1Cable 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.
6.2Pin assignment
Notice
The electronics must be operated with a supply voltage
of between 12 and 30V. 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:
SThe 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
PW15iAA4359-1.0HBM: public23
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.
SShould 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.
SUse shielded, low-capacitance cables only for all con
nections (interface, power supply and additional
devices) - (HBM measurement cables meet these
requirements).
SElectrical 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.
6.3Supply voltage
Regulated DC voltage of +12 … +30V is required to
operate the electronics and serial communication.
Voltage source requirements
SThe supply voltage must be sufficiently smoothed
(RMS value minus residual ripple > 12 V).
SThe 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:
24A4359-1.0HBM: publicPW15iA
Structure and mode of operation
Power demand in A
SWhen 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.
SConnection 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).
SThe 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.
SThe supply voltage ground wire (GND) is also used as
the reference potential for the interface signals and
the digital inputs/outputs.
SIn 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.

26A4359-1.0HBM: publicPW15iA
7Interfaces
Interfaces
The ground reference for all the interface signals is
based on the supply voltage ground (GND). GND (0V) 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 (0V).
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).
7.1RS‐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
PW15iAA4359-1.0HBM: public27
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 500m. 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).
