Page 8

MI114 Manual

II. Connection of Load Cell and Indicator

The connection with load cell adopts the six wire system connection mode. Please refer to the interfaces in the Diagram of Back Function Buttons, Figure 3-4. Detailed definitions are given below:

EX+: Positive load cell excitation SEN+: Positive compensation SEN-: Negative compensation EX-: Negative load cell excitation SIG+: Positive signal SIG-: Negative signal GND: Ground

Tip: If a 4 load cell cable is used to connect to MI114, the pins of “EX+” and “SEN+”, “SEN-” and “EX- ” in Figure 3-4 must be short-connected. Otherwise, the indicator cannot be calibrated and weigh

normally.

Ⅲ. Input and Output Interface

The indicator has three channels of optical isolation input and three channels of relay output. For interfaces, see Figure 3-5.

① The three outputs are connected to the external system respectively according to requirements. O1, O2, O3 terminals have constant ON built-in relay, which can connect the controlled system directly to the two terminals of corresponding interface. Note: Switch contact; effective close control; contact capacity AC: 220V; 0.5A

② The access mode of three inputs is by connecting I1, I2, I3 with +12V, i.e. signal can be entered at the input terminal. 0V terminal is prepared for customer’s special requirements.

The meaning of interface is different according to different modes. For detailed definition, please see Chapter 5 Section 7 of this manual.

Note: The +12V terminal and 0V terminal cannot be short connected. IV. Scoreboard Display Interface

For large-screen interface, see Figure 3-6: DP+, DP- in the Figure are connected to the large-screen. For the detailed communication format, see Annex 2.

V. Serial Communication Interface Serial communication interface uses RS232C (standard product). According to customer demand, the RS485 interface can be selected through jumper (the output format is the same with RS232C). For the details of the interface pin connection, see Table 3-1. For the jumper selection mode, see Table 3-2.

Calibration method for analog output

The zero point value of analog output and full scale value are in direct proportion to corresponding DA code (See Table 4-3, instructions of [SEt 1] parameter 12 and 13). The parameter 12 and parameter 13 can be corrected by calculation according to the analog output error.

Note: At the mode of voltage output, short circuit of the analog output terminal is strictly prohibited, and the load of 4-20mA electric current loop output cannot be disconnected, or otherwise the analog output circuit may be damaged.

VII. Print and Storage

The serial port communication RS232 connection mode is adopted. By means of selecting connection to serial printer in indicator parameter Set 1, the weighing data can be printed through the serial port. Hand print and automatic print are available, which are introduced below:

1. Hand print

Single print: In weighing status, press “Print/Enter” button to print the current time, date, net weight, tare weight, accumulated frequency and accumulated weight.

Print record: At the mode of 0, 1, 2, all weighing records, including the time, date, net weight, tare weight, accumulated frequency and accumulated weight for each weighing, can be stored and printed. For concrete operations, see [Set 3].

2. Automatic print

After selecting printer and automatic print in parameter settings, information such as the current time, date, net weight, tare weight, accumulated frequency and accumulated weight will be printed automatically when a process is completed each time during the automatic control process.

Note: New prints cannot be made until it returns to zero after every print; if printer or hand peak holding function is not selected, the hand print function is invalid; when communication in [Set 1] is not selected or communication is selected but the serial printer is not selected, print is not valid; when the set baud rate is not 9600, [Err P] will be prompted.

Storage

Storage is often used together with print, and is divided into hand storage and automatic storage. Automatic storage should be enabled in parameter settings. Attention must be paid to several points during storage:

1. Hand storage cannot be conducted in catch weighing mode.

2. The next storage cannot be executed until it returns to zero after each time of storage.

3. After the control mode (i.e. additive scale, subtracting scale, catch weigher) is changed, it needs to enter

the parameter setting 0 to eliminate the accumulated results, or otherwise an error may occur.

MI114 Manual

Chapter 6 Explanations of Control Procedure

The four working modes of the indicator are explained in details as below:

I. Mode 0（additive mode with 1 batching material）

The double-speed batching of 1 kind of material mainly involves the following parameters: batching value A1, quick feed lead b, slow feed lead C, allowance, zero value L. Please refer to the following figure for understanding of the functions, meanings and time sequence of control input and output of various parameters during the process:

Additive mode of 1 batching material:

Note: A—batching value; b—quick feed lead value; C—slow feed lead value; L—zero zone value. t0—

measurement delay；t1—quick feed over delay；t2—slow feed over delay；t3—gradual feed output

time；t4—interval time of gradual feed；t5—discharge over delay.

The schematic diagram of slow feed 1 shows the slow feed output when both the quick feed and slow

Page 23

MI114 Manual

feed are ON during quick feed process, and gradual feed exists.

The schematic diagram of slow feed 2 shows the slow feed output when only the quick feed is ON

during quick feed process, and without gradual feed.

The control procedure in the above diagram is consist of 4 processes including quick feed, slow feed,

gradual feed and discharge. （1） Quick feed-- When the control procedure starts, the quick feed output gives out a signal, and the

corresponding O1 relay is closed. When the weight is added to the quick feed stop value A-b, the quick feed output signal is cancelled, the corresponding O1 relay is switched off.

（2） Slow feed-- After a period of delay time t1 (quick feed over delay), the slow feed output gives out a

signal, and the corresponding O2 relay is closed. When weight is added to the slow feed stop value AC, the slow feed output signal is cancelled, the corresponding O2 relay is switched off. If the parameter is set to both quick feed and slow feed ON, the slow feed output gives out a signal since the beginning, and the corresponding O2 relay is closed until the weight reaches up to the slow feed stop value A-C.

（3） Gradual feed-- If the parameter is set with gradual feed, the O2 relay corresponding to slow feed will

be closed for a period of t3, and switched off for a period of t4. Gradual feed is carried out through such repeated cycle, until the weight reaches up to the allowance range of batching value, i.e. the qualified area.

（4） Discharge-- Discharge output sends out a signal, and the corresponding O3 relay is closed. After the

weight is deducted from the value L in zero zone, the discharged is considered completed, which corresponds to point M in the figure. At this moment, after another delay of t5, the discharge output signal is cancelled, and the corresponding O3 relay is switched off. A complete control procedure is finished.

Note: during the above process, if the slow feed lead is bigger than that of quick feed lead, i.e. C>b, then

the slow feed output won’t give out signal, and the corresponding O2 relay remains switched off. If no gradual feed is set for parameters, the above gradual feed process (3) is not included. The turning off of discharge should meet the conditions that the weight is less than zero zone value.

II. Mode 1（subtracting mode of 1 batching material）

Please refer to the following figure for understanding of the functions, meanings and time sequence of control input and output of various parameters during the process: Note: A—batching value; b—quick subtraction lead value; C—slow subtraction lead value;

t1—quick subtraction over delay；t2—slow subtraction over delay；t3—gradual feed output time；

t4—interval time of gradual feed；t5—discharge over delay

The schematic diagram of slow subtraction 1 shows the slow subtraction output when both the quick

subtraction and slow subtraction are ON during quick subtraction process, and gradual feed exists.

The schematic diagram of slow subtraction 2 shows the slow subtraction output when only the quick

Page 24

MI114 Manual

subtraction is ON during quick subtraction process, and without gradual feed.

The control procedure in the above diagram consists of 4 processes including quick subtraction, slow

subtraction, gradual feed allowance treatment and discharge. （1） Quick subtraction -- When the control procedure starts, the quick subtraction output gives out a

signal, and the corresponding O1 relay is closed. When the weight is reduced to the quick subtraction stop value A-b, the quick subtraction output signal is cancelled, the corresponding O1 relay is switched off.

（2） Slow subtraction -- After a period of delay time t1 (quick subtraction over delay), the slow

subtraction output gives out a signal, and the corresponding O2 relay is closed. When the weight is reduced to the slow subtraction stop value A-C, the slow subtraction output signal is cancelled, the corresponding O2 relay is switched off. If the parameter is set to both quick subtraction and slow subtraction ON, the slow subtraction output gives out a signal since the beginning, and the corresponding O2 relay is closed until the weight reaches up to the slow subtraction stop value A-C.

（3） Gradual feed -- If the parameter is set with gradual feed, the O2 relay corresponding to slow

subtraction will be closed for a period of t3, and switched off for a period of t4. Gradual feed is carried out through such repeated cycle, until the weight reaches up to the allowance range of batching value, i.e. the qualified area.

Page 25

MI114 Manual

（4） Discharge-- Discharge output sends out a signal, and the corresponding O3 relay is closed. After the

delay of t5, the discharge output signal is cancelled, and the corresponding O3 relay is switched off. A complete control procedure is finished.

Note:

1. During the above process, if the slow subtraction lead value is bigger than the quick subtraction lead value, i.e. C>b, the slow subtraction output won’t give out signal, and the corresponding O2 relay maintains switched off. If no gradual feed is set for the parameters, the above gradual feed process (3) is not included.

2. When the residual weight doesn’t reach to the batching value, the indicator stops subtraction, and waits for feed signal. After receiving the feed signal, the indicator starts to feed material, and make judgment to the weight during feeding process. When the batching value is obtained, material feeding is stopped. At this moment, the weight can finish a subtraction cycle, then material subtraction is continued. For example, if the batching value is 50Kg, when the remaining material in the hopper is only 20kg, no subtraction will be performed until the hopper is added with material up to 50Kg.

3. The discharge process in the subtracting scale can be used to remove the container loaded with

Page 26

MI114 Manual

material, just like a discharge process.

III. Mode 2（additive scale for two materials）

Note: A—batching value of material 1; b—lead value of material 1; P—batching value of material 2; d—lead value of material 2; L—zero zone value.

t0—measurement delay；t1—feed over delay of material 1；t2—feed over delay of material 2；t3—gradual feed output time; t4-interval time of gradual feed; t5-discharge over delay time.

The control procedure in the above diagram is composed of 5 processes including feed of material 1, gradual feed out-of-allowance treatment of material 1, feed of material 2, gradual feed out-of-allowance treatment of material 2 and discharge.

（1） Feed of material 1-- When the control procedure starts, the feed output of material 1 gives out a

signal, and the corresponding O1 relay is closed. When the weight is added to the feed stop value of material 1 A-b, the feed output signal of material 1 is cancelled; the corresponding O1 relay is switched off.

Page 27

MI114 Manual

（2） Gradual feed out-of-allowance treatment of material 1-- After the delay for a period of t1 (feed over

delay of material 1), if the parameter is set with gradual feed, the O2 relay corresponding to feed of material 1 will be closed for a period of t3, and switched off for a period of t4. Gradual feed is carried out through such repeated cycle, until the weight reaches up to the allowance range of batching value of material 1, i.e. the qualified area.

（3） Feed of material 2-- The feed output of material 2 gives out a signal, and the corresponding O1 relay

is closed. When the weight is added to the feed stop value of material 2 P-d, the feed output signal of material 2 is cancelled, the corresponding O1 relay is switched off

（4） Gradual feed out-of-allowance treatment of material 2 -- After the delay for a period of t2 (feed over

delay of material 2), if the parameter is set with gradual feed, the O2 relay corresponding to feed of material 2 will be closed for a period of t3, and switched off for a period of t4. Gradual feed is carried out through such repeated cycle, until the weight reaches up to the allowance range of batching value of material 2, i.e. the qualified area.

（5） Discharge -- Discharge output sends out a signal, and the corresponding O3 relay is closed. After the

weight is less than the value L in zero zone, the discharged is considered completed, which corresponds to point M in the figure. At this moment, after another delay of t5, the discharge output signal is cancelled, and the corresponding O3 relay is switched off. A complete control procedure is finished.

Note: If no gradual feed is set for parameters, the above gradual feed process (2), (4) is not included.

IV. Mode 3（catch weighing mode）

1. Self-check mode of catch weigher Application examples:

Supposing a belt weigher is provided at the site, 3 kinds of cargoes of different weight 5Kg, 10Kg and 15Kg respectively need to be catch weighed through the belt user, which are transferred by the belt once every 10 seconds; the time for loading and unloading the weighing platform is about 2seconds, and the cargoes stay on the platform for about 4 seconds, based on these conditions, we can make the following parameters setting

in 【SET--2】(2-digit decimal number is assumed to set during calibration). The cargoes less than 7.5kg are sorted to channel 1, the cargoes between 7.5kg and12.5kg are sorted to channel 2, while those more than

12.5kg are sorted to channel 3.

Page 29

MI114 Manual

Brief description of control process （ please understand in combination with the time sequence

diagram）：（1） The indicator is put into operation and judges if the weight is bigger than the value in zero zone. If so,

t0 delay is started, waiting for cargo to be loaded on the weighing platform.

（2） The time t0 is over, and starts to calculate the average weight of cargoes, with time duration of t1.

The value obtained from calculation serves as foundation for later catch weighing signals.

（3） The time t1 is over, t2 delay starts, waiting for the cargo to be unloaded from the weighing platform. （4） The time t2 is over, and the catch weighing channel signal is sent, to make the cargo enter into the

corresponding channel. The time for sending channel signal is t3.

（5） The time t3 is over, and signal is sent, and the indicator judges once again if the weight returns to

zero zone. The next cycle can only begin when the weight stays within zero zone.

2. External mode of catch weigher Application example:

It is assumed that a high speed catch weigher is used at site: the industrial control PLC together with this indicator performs quick catch weighing to the cargo. PLC controls the transportation of cargo to the weighing platform, and gives out a trigger signal to the indicator when it reaches there to make it calculate the weight.

The weight range of the qualified product of user is between 9.90Kg～10.10Kg. Channel signal is sent as per weight, to make the PLC control and send to different channels. 1 cycle takes approximately 3-5 seconds.

The indicator and PLC should coordinate well. The parameters can be set in【SET--2】according to the following table (2-digit decimal is assumed during calibration).
