Introduction
This chapter covers
• Operating Overview
• Installation and Programming
The IND310drive Industrial Scale Terminal incorporates the latest
design innovations in vehicle weighing applications. The terminal
contains functionality not available in previous generations of
terminals; it employs a simple setup logic tree that will be carried
across future generations of METTLER TOLEDO terminals.
The simplicity of setup and operation coupled with specific
configurations for multiple applications reduces training costs and
operation setup time. The enhanced software capabilities enable
database storage of key information, which reduces operator error
and time-consuming entries.
Information on installing, programming, and servicing the
IND310drive terminal is located in the IND310drive Installation
Manual and the IND310drive Technical Manual. Review all
instructions and safety precautions carefully. Only authorized
personnel should perform installation and service procedures.
Please contact an authorized METTLER TOLEDO representative to
resolve any questions not covered in this manual or associated
manuals.
Operating Overview
See Appendix A,
Basic Weighing
Concepts for
more information
about basic
weighing
terminology.
To successfully use the IND310drive terminal's various functions, one must
understand
• Basic weighing terminology
• Differences between gross and net states
• The terminal's various operating modes and weighing processes
Gross State
The IND310drive terminal is in the gross state when a tare (the weight of a
container holding the product to be weighed) has not been taken. The full weight of
the items on the scale displays on the terminal.
1-1
IND310drive User Manual
Net State
The IND310drive terminal is in the net state after a tare has been taken. Only the
weight of the items on the scale after the tare is deducted displays, and the net
cursor is lit.
Operating Modes
Routine operations with all vehicle features enabled in setup include four modes of
terminal operation:
• Vehicle ID Weighing—Uses a permanent stored Vehicle ID table to identify the
tare value of the vehicle, and then follows the steps defined by the outbound
process to complete the procedure, which is also called a transaction. Vehicle
ID Weighing enables the accumulation of totals based on vehicle ID.
• Temporary ID Weighing—Coordinates the inbound and outbound processes
for vehicles that are not permanently stored in the Vehicle ID table through the
use of a Temporary ID table. Temporary ID Weighing stores the vehicle
information in the Temporary ID table and follows the inbound process. It also
removes this temporary entry when the vehicle returns and follows the
outbound process. Because the entry is temporary, no accumulation of totals
occurs.
• Index Weighing—Enables the Vehicle ID Weighing mode and Outbound
process to be condensed through the use of a special Index table that provides
a single ID reference for quick multiple ID look-ups.
• Transient Weighing—This mode enables weighing of vehicles that are not
part of normal operation in a manner similar to the Vehicle ID Weighing mode.
Transient Weighing does not use the Vehicle ID table, so the operator must
enter vehicle data. Transient Weighing transactions are not included in any
totals.
Weighing Processes
There are two weighing processes:
• Outbound—Completes the vehicle transaction. The gross, tare, and net weight
values are now known. Other transaction information may be collected (A1–A4
table data, Variable 1, and/or Variable 2 data). The completed transaction
information is stored and can be printed.
• Inbound—Enables the vehicle identification information and a stored weight
value to be collected. Other transaction information may be collected (A1–A4
table data). The inbound transaction information is stored and can be printed.

Security
The IND310drive supports two levels of users/passwords for setup security:
Administrator and Limited. An administrator-level user can access all setup areas
of the terminal. A limited-access-level user can access all areas of the setup except
for the Scale and Diagnostics blocks.
The IND310drive Terminal is a simple to use, yet sophisticated
terminal with flexibility of configuration to meet a variety operating
requirements. The setup menu system provides the power of
configuration in a user-friendly operational environment.
While reading this manual and operating the terminal, keep in mind
that various functions may or may not be available and that the
screens shown in this manual may vary from terminal-to-terminal
based on the setup configuration.
This User Manual provides instructions for performing typical vehicle
weighing operations on the IND310drive terminal. Detailed
information about terminal configuration and setup is provided in the
IND310drive Technical Manual.
The terminal is pre-configured at the factory with a user name of “ADMIN” and a
user name of “Operator”. The pre-configured users (ADMIN and Operator) cannot
be changed, only the passwords can be added or modified. The factory default
passwords are null (no password). The unit as configured at the factory requires
no login or password entry to enter the setup mode. All functions of the terminal
will be available to all users until a password is entered. Be sure to remember the
password configured for the ADMIN user. If the password is changed or forgotten,
access to the setup menu will not be available. Be sure to protect the password
from access by unauthorized personnel. The password provides access to the
entire setup menu, unless the metrology switch is placed in the approved position.
Ensure that a password has been configured for the ADMIN user prior to
configuring any passwords for other users. Failure to configure the ADMIN user
password before configuring other user passwords could result in being
blocked from access to the entire system.

Metrology Switch
The metrology switch (Figure 2-1), which is sealed per Weights and Measures,
controls access to the scale submenu of the setup menu tree. This submenu
includes functions such as calibration, filter settings, tare settings and others.
Metrology switch
The Scale submenu is accessible (may be expanded) only when the Metrology
switch is in the non-approved position. If the metrology switch is in the approved
position (Figure 2-2) the user may enter setup, but will be unable to enter the scale
setup submenu. See the IND310drive Technical Manual for further information
about the metrology switch and accessing the setup menu tree.
