2.5.4. Calibration
Calibration is the process of adjusting the display of weight values, so that when the scale is
empty, the display shows zero gross weight and, with a specific amount of weight on the scale,
shows an accurate weight value.
The ACT350 POWERCELL transmitter calibration menu enables entry of a Geo Code adjustment
value, setting selection for linearity adjustment –
traditional zero calibration and three different types of span calibration:
• Traditional span calibration - using certified test weights
• Step Adjust Calibration – using a build-up or substitution method of calibration (for large
vessels where only a portion of the required test weights can be placed on the scale)
• CalFreePlus Calibration – the transmitter will automatically calculate the span; no test
weights are required

2.5.4.4. Zero Calibration and Under Zero Blanking
Scale zero is set simply by emptying the scale and running the “Set Zero” calibration routine, as
shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-9 Zero Calibration
If the transmitter detects scale motion during the calibration process, it will retry the start of
calibration several times and then proceed, displaying a motion indication. In this case, when
calibration is complete the transmitter will present two options – accept or reject the value.

Blanking of the display is used to indicate an under-zero condition when the weight on the
scale falls below the current zero reference. Set the under zero blanking for the number of
divisions (d) that the transmitter is permitted to go under zero before blanking.
A setting value of 0-98 blanks the display at the specified number of divisions below gross zero. A value
2.5.4.5. Span Calibration
The scale’s span calibration can be performed either with or without a linearity adjustment. With
linearity disabled, a single reference point for span is used to calibrate the scale. This is the
normal method of span calibration. In Figure 1-3 the transmitter is configured with three-point
linearity – low, mid and high. The low point is set during zero calibration, the mid and high
points during this procedure.
Figure 1-11 Span Calibration
If linearity is enabled, additional mid-range weight reference points are added to the adjustment
procedure. Linearity can be enabled or disabled in the Calibration branch of the device menu.
Refer to the Numerical Data Entry Example section for the method used to modify numerical
values.

2.5.4.6. Step Adjust
Step adjustment is an iterative process in which a build-up or material substitution method of
calibration is used to calibrate the span. Each step calibrates a portion of the full span.
This method is typically used with large vessels where only a portion of the required calibration
test weights can be placed on the scale at one time. Figure 1-4 Figure 1-4 Step Adjustment
shows the logic of the procedure using a simple, two-step example. When sufficient steps have
been calibrated, pressing the LEFT button returns the view to the calibration menu.

2.5.4.7. CalFreePlus™
The ACT350 POWERCELL transmitter provides a method to calibrate a scale without using test
weights. This method of calibration can be used for initial check-out and testing of systems or
when a large structure is used as the weighing vessel and it is not possible to apply test weights
to the structure. METTLER TOLEDO highly recommends that test weights be used whenever
possible as this provides the most accurate method of calibration.

Functions
2.6.1. Zero
The Zero function is used to set or reset the initial zero reference point of the scale There are two
types of zero setting modes:
2.6.1.1. ENTER Button
The Zero function can be accomplished by a short press of the green ENTER scale
function key. The Zero range selections include Disabled,
from the calibrated zero point. A change to the default setting is done via the PC-based Setup+
Configuration Tool. If the current scale weight is outside the zero range when a pushbutton
zero is commanded, the transmitter will display a message:
2% [default] or 20% plus or minus
Figure 1-17 ENTER button Zero Failure Message
Remote initiation of the semi-automatic Zero function is possible via a command initiated by the
PLC interface.
2.6.1.2. Power Up
The Power Up mode setting determines at power up, whether the transmitter will restart with the
most recent zero reference point stored prior to power down or if it will reset to the calibrated
zero reference.
The selections include Reset [default] and Restart.
2.6.1.3. Reset
With the setting on Reset, the last zero calibration value will be used as the zero reference point.
The Power Up Zero capture range selections include
minus. If the range setting is enabled, the Power Up Zero is applied only when the weight reading
on the scale is within the selected range around the originally calibrated zero reference. For
example, if the range setting for Power Up Zero is set at +/- 2%, Power Up Zero will only occur
when the weight reading on the scale is within +/- 2% of scale capacity above the original
calibrated zero reference. If the weight on the scale is outside of the zero range, the display will
indicate
EEE until the weight is adjusted to be within this range and zero is captured.

Zero setting is configured using the PC-based Setup+ Configuration Tool.
2.6.2. Tare
The tare value is subtracted from the gross weight measurement, providing the computation of
the net weight (material weight without the container). The tare function can also be used to
track the net amount of material being added to or removed from a vessel or container. In the
second case, the weight of the material in the container is included with the tare weight of the
container and the display then reflects the net amount being added to or removed from the
vessel. Tare is captured and cleared by PLC command.

ACT350 POWERCELL transmitter with PROFINET or EtherNet/IP interface supports Media
Redundancy Protocol and Device Level Ring topology, respectively.
3.2.5.1. Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) Topology
MRP protocol enables implementing a redundant PROFINET communication through ring topology
without the need for switches. MRP can compensate for an individual failure in a PROFINET /
Industrial Ethernet in a simple ring topology. As meshed networks are not supported, MRP is both
simple and reliable. MRP in PROFINET networks can achieve reconfiguration times of 200ms.
3.2.5.2. Device Level Ring (DLR) Topology
DLR protocol provides high network availability in a ring topology and is intended primarily for
implementation in EtherNet/IP end-devices that have two Ethernet ports and embedded switch
technology. It provides fast network fault detection and reconfiguration in order to support the most
demanding control applications. For example, a ring network of 50 nodes implementing the DLR
protocol has the worst case fault recovery time of less than 3ms.

Fieldbus Communication
NOTICE
4. Fieldbus Communication
4.1. Overview
The Standard Automation Interface (SAI) is a protocol designed to exchange data between
METTLER TOLEDO devices and third-party automation systems. This interface provides the
following:
• A common data layout for load cells, terminals and other devices regardless of the physical
interface or automation network used.
• A single protocol for the convenience of automation integrators, control system programmers
and our automation customers.
• A flexible protocol for diverse devices.
Communication Modes
The protocol has two primary modes of operation.
• cyclic data • acyclic data
Acyclic data is also referred to as asynchronous data or explicit messaging.
4.1.1. Cyclic data
Cyclic data is broken up into sections of data. Each section represents a block. Each block of data
contains four words of 16 bits each.
The data within these words can express numeric values, string values or individual bits which
represent state or command depending on the type of block specified.
There are two types of cyclic blocks supported on the ACT350 POWERCELL:
• Measuring block (IEEE 754 floating point data)
– Used for numeric values
– Decimal point and sign are included and do not require special data handling.
• Status block
– Used for numeric values
ACT350 POWERCELL Transmitter User's Guide
Page 43
Fieldbus Communication
NOTICE
NOTICE
SAI Reference Manual available at www.mt.com/ind-act350-downloads.
– Status block data is grouped together in 16 bit words.
4.1.2. Acyclic data
With acyclic messages, the variable can be accessed directly through a unique name or number
defined by the control system's acyclic message block.
Acyclic data is also referred to as asynchronous data or explicit messaging.

Troubleshooting PLC Connectivity
5. Troubleshooting PLC
Connectivity
If the ACT350 POWERCELL does not communicate with PLC, do the following:
• Power cycle the ACT350 POWERCELL to reestablish communications.
• A solid green NW LED on the front panel implies that the ACT350 POWERCELL is on the
network. A blinking NW LED indicates that the ACT350 POWERCELL is not on the fieldbus
network.
• Check LED status of the connection socket. The top LED should be solid green. If the top LED
is not solid green then this implies that no hardware connection is being seen by the device
-check cabling and connector insertions. The bottom LED will blink amber if data is being
transferred. If the top LED is solid green, but the bottom LED is not blinking then this implies
a configuration issue either in the ACT350 POWERCELL or the PLC.
• Confirm that the ACT350 POWERCELL can respond to a ping on the Network. If the ping fails,
then check the wiring and network connections.
• Diagnose and correct specific Network error conditions such as IP Address conflicts.
• Confirm that the ACT350 POWERCELL settings for address, format and byte order match those
in the PLC and that each ACT350 POWERCELL has a unique address.
• Check the Electronic Keying from in the PLC program. Confirm that the firmware revision of
the Ethernet/IP module in the ACT350 POWERCELL greater than or equal to the firmware
revision specified in the ACT350 POWERCELL’s communication module in the PLC. Change
the firmware revision being looked for in the PLC’s communication module or change the
electronic keying setting in the PLC.
• Contact METTLER TOLEDO for replacement of the ACT350 transmitter.

The GEO code feature provided in the ACT350 POWERCELL transmitter permits calibration
readjustment due to changes in elevation or latitude without reapplying test weights. This
adjustment assumes a previously accurate calibration was completed with the GEO code set
properly for that original location, and that the GEO code for the new location can be accurately
determined. The procedure for using this feature is as follows.
7.1. Original Site Calibration
1. Use the GEO code chart on the following pages to determine the GEO code for the original
altitude and location at which the scale will be calibrated.
2. Enter that GEO value into the GEO code parameter in setup at Scale > Calibration.
3. Immediately after entering the GEO code, perform a zero and span adjustment using accurate
test weights.
4. Exit the setup menu tree
5. The scale can now be used in its new location.
7.2. New Site GEO Code Adjustment
When ACT350 POWERCELL is to be reinstalled at a different geographic location, gravitational
and altitude changes can be accounted for by changing the Geo Code. Note that this procedure
is not necessary if an on-site recalibration is performed.
1. Use the GEO code chart) on the following pages to determine the GEO code for the new
altitude and location at which the scale will be used.
2. Enter that GEO value into the GEO code parameter in Setup at Scale > Calibration.
3. Immediately after entering the GEO code, exit the setup menu tree. DO NOT perform a
normal calibration.
The calibration has now been adjusted for the differences in gravity from the original site of
calibration to the new site of use.
• Using the GEO code value for calibration adjustment is not as accurate as using certified test
weights and re-calibrating the scale at a new location.
