1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Intended use E2R System is a modular system for complex management of production
processes that are associated in some points with weighing. Owning to the
modular structure the system is versatile and can be easily tailored to the
profile, characteristics and needs of a firm as well as individual customer
requirements.
E2R SYSTEM
Module E2R Weighing Records is intended to recording weight
measurements performed on RADWAG weighing terminals, which work
connected in the Ethernet network, and saving them in the computer
database.
4
The network of scales can be combined with one or more types of scales.
E2R SYSTEM based on Ethernet
The program allows for full supervision and reporting from measurements
collected from scales WPW, TMC, TMX, WLY, WPY.
Notice:
1. Due to continual updates, there is a possibility of minor discrepancies
between the contents of this manual and the program.
2. RADWAG takes no responsibility for the unexpected effects of program
operation, and possible consequences resulting from wrong use of the
program.
1.2. Database
The engine of installed database can be any distribution of MS
SQL Server (MS SQL 2000/2005/2008). Due to the performance,
scalability and reliability of the system it is recommended to use a
commercial platform SQL Server, e.g.: SQL Server 2008.
1.3. System requirements
The minimum requirements for the program:
• Windows 2000/XP/ 2003/Vista/Windows7 operating system,
5
• processor 2 GHz or faster,
• minimum 1 GB RAM (recomended 2 GB),
• minimum 5 GB of free space on HD,
• monitor and graphic card allowing for resolution at least 1024x768
pixels,
• DVD drive,
• Default system font size (96 dpi)!
Notice:
1. It is advisable not to install other applications on the computer with E2R
system.
2. If the program is to be installed on a computer that is not delivered,
together with installed software, by RADWAG (customer ownership),
take following steps:
• install SQL server on your computer (if it has not been installed
before),
• connect databases (is SQL server is installed).
3. If the program has been installed on a customer’s computer any
resulting hardware and software problems are of the user (computer
owner) concern.
4. RADWAG takes no responsibility for:
• Any influence of E2R system and/or SQL server on operation of
other programs installed on the same computer,
• Any malfunctions of E2R system and/or SQL server cosed by
operation of other programs installed on the computer (system
overload).
1.4. Scales cooperating with the system
Program E2R Weighing Records, considering the communication
protocol, can cooperate only with scales manufactured by RADWAG.
Following series of scales can cooperate with this program: WPW, TMX,
WLY and WPY.
6
Before starting cooperation with the program, each scale requires setting
adequate user parameters for assuring the expected measurement
accuracy and appropriate cooperation with the program. Setting
parameters for each scale is described in user manuals.
2. SOFTWARE INSTRUCTION
2.1. Databases
As a database engine can be used any distribution of MS SQL Server (MS
SQL 2000/2005/2008). The database of E2R System is created during
installation of E2R Weighing Records.
2.2. Installation of E2R Weighing Records This instruction comprises description of version „System E2R Weighing
Records 11.02.02”.
After running the file the following dialogue window appears with the
possibility of choosing the language to be used during the installation:
Choose the language and press „OK”.
7
In further steps follow the instructions displayed in subsequent windows.
Welcome window:
In order to continue press „Next”.
Window with installation path:
8
Choose a folder for program (it is advisable to keep the default path),then
press „Next”.
Window for selecting components to be installed:
Choose components you want to install (all elements needed for
appropriate operation are ticked), and then press „Next”.
Ready-to-install window:
9
In order to start the installation process press button „Install”.
Completing installation window:
After the installation is completed the computer restart is required and the
option is selected by default.
Press button „Finish” in order to complete the installation.
Together with the program are installed: database of E2R System (SQL
base), „E2R Synchronizer” and „E2R Manager”.
3. E2R SYNCHRONIZER
Program E2R Synchronizer is designed for saving registered weighings in
the MS SQL database and monitoring scales based on terminals other
than PUE5 (e.g. PUE C41, PUE 7).
The program operates as a service – if properly configured it does not
require any user intervention. It is run automatically by starting operating
system (no user logging in is required). After establishing connection with
the indicated database collects data with choosen scales.
10
3.1. RADWAG Synchronizer – Windows Service
In the main window of E2R SYNCHRONIZER (SynchAdmin.exe), a button
for changing the language and configuring the Radwag Synchronizer
sercice is accessible.
Main program window:
In the title bar of the window there is information about of programs that are
parts of „RADWAG Synchronizer”.
Description:
Install Service Before running RADWAG Synchronizer the
service needs to be installed in MS Windows
operating system.
Uninstall Service Uninstalling the service RADWAG Synchronizer
from MS Windows
Run Server Running the service server RADWAG
Synchronizer
11
Stop Server
Stopping the server responsible for communication
with scales.
Language
Language selection window. Accessible languages
Polish, English, German and Spanish. After the
language change program restart is required.
Save Saving language change. Caution! The language
change will be applied after program restart.
Notice:
In case of any problems with the service it should be stopped and
uninstalled. Meanwhile a test program can be used C:\RADWAG\E2R
SYSTEM\E2R EWIDENCJA\E2R SYNCHRONIZER\SynchServer.exe. It
is also a service. But only one of the programs can opperate.
If the „Windows Firewall” is enabled the program needs to be unlocked
after the first program start.
After starting the program go to overlap „Parameters”.
Connect to the database by pressing button „Connect” to configure
scales.
12
3.2. Adding new scales to the Synchronizer
After connecting to the database adding new scales to the Synchronizer on
overlap „Scales” is possible. Press button „Add” to add a new scale.
Then a scale window appears which needs to be filled in according to the
example below. Adding an new scale is shown on the scale WPW.
Identically can be added other scales that can cooperate with „E2R
System”.

Notice:
Communication port number
All of the above settings need to be compared with settings in scales and
the system settings of the communication port in MS Windows.
If adding a scale (after pressing „Save” in the window for adding scale)
triggers the message box below it means that the scale identifier already
exists in the database.
Then the Identifier needs to be changed and saved again by pressing
„Save”.
15
3.3. Deleting and editing of existing scale
If the scale no longer works in the system it can be removed from the
Synchronizer in order to avoid searching for the scale during
synchronisation. Choose the scale to be deleted and press button
„Delete”.
Then the following window appears:
This question appears in order to avoid the risk of accidental removing of a
scale. Press „Yes” if you want to remove the scale from the synchronizer.
Button „Edit” opens the window of the selected scale (the same as for
adding a scale) and allows for making some changed.
3.4. Global settings and scale settings
On overlap „Scales” „Global settings” and „Scale settings” can be
changed.
