2.9 Operating via a notebook/PC
The following options are possible:
- Via VNC Viewer (on the enclosed CD-ROM), see Chapter 2.9.5.
- Via the internet browser, see Chapter 2.9.6.
Requirement:
The Java application must be supported by the web browser.
2.9.1 Finding and connecting the device automatically in the network
If the DHCP server is active in the network, the connected device (if activated in the menu
[Operating] - [Default conguration] - [Network parameters] - [use DHCP]) is
automatically assigned an IP address.
On the notebook/PC, the host names of the connected devices in the network are listed
under [Network].
Double-click the host name to open the device page in the web browser. The IP address is
displayed on the bottom right.
Note:
If the web browser supports the Java application, the device can be operated via[remote
conguration (VNC).]
If the web browser does not support the Java application, the menu items will be
inaccessible (grayed out).
2.9.2 Finding and connecting a device with a notebook/PC
If the device is connected to a notebook/PC via a point-to-point connection, an IP
address is negotiated via function "AutoIP". This can take up to 2 minutes!
NOTICE
When the IT/DHCP network cable is temporarily connected between the notebook/
PC and a device, the DHCP server is lost and the notebook/PC returns to the auto-IP
address within approx. two minutes!
Reason: The DHCP server/client relationship is checked cyclically at 23-minute
intervals.
Minebea Intec EN-26
2 Commissioning Process Controller Maxxis 5 PR 5900
1. On the notebook/PC, set the LAN local and Internet Protocol properties to "Obtain an
IP address automatically" depending on the operating system.
2. On the device, under MENU - [Default conguration] - [Network parameters] activate
the "Use DHCP" parameter (factory/default settings).
The DHCP devices nd each other because they fall into an "auto-IP address" in
the range 169.254.0.1169.254.255.254 with the associated auto-subnet mask
255.255.0.0 after a cyclical automatic DHCP server search run due to time
overow (23 minutes).
Example:
If the search time is exceeded (because there is "no server found"), the PR 5900 is
assigned to an IP address automatically (e.g. 169.254.0.123). The same applies to
the notebook or PC (e.g. 169.254.0.54).
These IP addresses are dierent on both sides:
- equal regarding the rst 2 octets of the IP address (e.g. network ID 169.254.)
- dierent in the last 2 octets of the IP address (e.g. host ID 0.123.)
2.9.3 Searching the device in the network with "IndicatorBrowser"
The IP address can be found out using the "IndicatorBrowser" application (supplied on
CD-ROM) and via the "host name" of the device.
The "host name" is composed of the device name and the last 3 bytes of the MAC ID. A
label with the complete MAC ID is located on the outside of the device.
Host name: PR5900-6B6A5E
For this, the program must be installed and started on a notebook/PC.

2 Commissioning Process Controller Maxxis 5 PR 5900
2.9.4 Resetting the network address
Note:
Holding down (> 5 sec.) the reset key triggers a cold start:
- The settings are not changed.
- The database is emptied.
- Current process steps are deleted.
- The application must be restarted.
- The database must be restored.
Holding down (> 5 sec.) the rest key initiates a reset of the network settings to the
factory/default settings.
This means
- "DHCP" is activated.
- "Hostname" is initialized to, e.g. PR 5900-6B6A5E (type MAC-ID).
Example of MAC ID: 00-90-6C-6B-6A-5E
This ensures that a valid address for identication of the device in the network can be
assigned to the device from a server, see also Chapter 4.4.
Note:
The last 3 bytes of the MAC ID are displayed. A label with the complete MAC ID is located
on the outside of the device.
If the device is connected to an IT network (company network) with a DHCP server and if
the parameter [use DHCP] is activated in the menu [Operating] - [Default conguration]
- [Network parameters] (factory/default settings), no further actions are required except
for a waiting time of 2…3 minutes. Subsequently, a network connection is established
automatically (device <-> workstation/PC).
2.9.5 Operation using VNC
VNC (on the enclosed CD-ROM) stands for "virtual network computing" and is a program
for remote operation of computers.
The program distinguishes between the VNC server and VNC client (viewer). The server
program is part of the device software, the client program (viewer) must be run on the
notebook/PC in order to operate the device.
Note:
If the colors appear distorted, a better color format must be selected in the VNC viewer.

The [Standstill range] parameter is entered in "d". The permitted range is:
0.01…10.00 d.
For use in legal metrology, ≤1 d must be selected.
[Tare timeout]
Timeout for a tare/zeroset command that cannot be executed (e.g. due to mechanical
instability of the scale, incorrect lter setting, resolution too high, standstill condition
too strict).
This parameter is given in seconds. The permitted range is: 0.0…[2.5]…25 s.
At 0.0 s taring is only carried out when the scale is already stable.

[Zeroset range]
Determine a ±range around the zero point determined by the dead load during
calibration; within this range
- the displayed gross weight can be set to zero by pressing the zero-setting key (or
by a corresponding external command), and
- automatic zero tracking is active.
Setting range: 0.00…10000.00 d
For use in legal metrology a value ≤2% of the max must be entered, example: 60 d for
3000 e of Class III.
[Zerotrack]
The zero display is automatically maintained within set limits.
Selection: No/Yes
When [No] is selected, the next three parameters are not shown.
When [Yes] is selected, values for the next three parameters must be entered.
[Zerotrack range]
Range within which automatic zerotrack compensates for deviations.
Setting range: 0.25…10000.00 d
For use in legal metrology a value of 0.25 d must be entered.
[Zerotrack step]
If a weight change exceeds the adjusted value, automatic tracking does not function
any more.

If legal-for-trade mode is switched on, the parameter settings (zerotrack etc.) must be
selected accordingly. The device does not perform a check of this.
A unique check number is created every time a calibration or changed parameters are
saved. This can be viewed in the menu [Operating] - [System information] - [Show
calibration check numbers] (see Chapter 5.7) and may also be written on the W&M label.

4.7.1.1.2 Range mode: Multi-range
In this menu item (under Parameters), a multi-range scale (of Class III or single-range
scale of Class I and II with variable scale interval) of the Internal weighing point weighing
electronics is congured
The multi-range scale is a scale with two or more weighing ranges with dierent
maximum capacities and scale intervals. There is only one load receptor, with each range
covering zero to its maximum capacity.
When [Range mode] = [Multi-range], the scale has up to three ranges with dierent
resolution.
