9. SCALE PARAMETERS
Users can adjust the scale to ambient conditions (filtering level) or user
needs (autozero operation) and also determine the minimum weight limit
for operation of some basic scale functions.
The parameters are accessible in tab
> .
List of scale parameters:
• Autozero
• Median Filter
• Filter
9.1. Autozero function
In order to ensure precise scale indications the software “AUTOZERO”
function has been introduced. It is designed to automatically control and
correct scale’s zero indication.
When autozero function is enabled, the subsequent results are compared in
constant time intervals. If two subsequent results differ less than the declared
AUTOZERO range the scale automatically sets new zero point and
pictograms of stability –
and zero state – are displayed.
If AUTOZERO is enabled, then each measurement always starts from the
precise zero point. There are, however, cases in which the function may
disturb measuring process. It is for instance while very slow loading the
weighing platform (for instsance pouring a load). In such case the zero
correcting set can correct the actual indication of load placed on the
scale’s weighing platform.
Procedure:
• Enter the User parameters window by pressing
choose parameter <Autozeroing> and set the appropriate value.

10. CHECKWEIGHING
Checkweighing is a function that aims at precise weighing
a sample with pre-defined low anf high weighing limits
(checkweighing thresholds (LO – sample mass too low,
HI – sample mass too high, OK – sample mass correct).
Such software solution is a very good means for quick mass value evaluation
with no need for contiinuous monitoring the measurement result. The above
mentioned weighing status (LO, OK, HI) have their graphic visualization
presented on scale’s display.
The status is also indicated by optical signalization or controlled by the set
of external devices.

16. MODBUS COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
16.1. Basic information
The weighing module MW-01 enables complete operation of programmable
controllers (PLC), which communicate through Modbus protocol class 0. The
weighing module in a network using modbus standard operates as slave on
an accessible interfaces, RS485 or Ethernet. According to the standard,
Modbus class 0, the device uses two functions:
• Read multiple registers (fc 3), for cyclic readout of signals from the
weighing module,
• Write multiple registers (fc 16), for cyclic record of the weighing module
statuses.
60
Page 61
The weighing module MW-01 can operate in one of three modes:
• RS484 - RTU (device interface RS485, frame RTU),
• TCP/IP - RTU (device interface Ethernet, frame RTU),
• TCP/IP - Open ModBus (device interface Ethernet, frame Open
Modbus).
The functionalitz of Modbus protocol is based on a scheme used in Profibus
protocol, as described in point 15.3 and 15.4 of this user manual.
Caution:
Modbus address offset in the module that cooperates with PLC controller is
set to value 1, i.e. deafult setting. In case of a weighing module cooperating
with a test computer software, set the value to 0.
16.2. Addressing a device in ModBus network
Address of the weighing module MW-01 in modbus netowrk has to be set in
accordance to module addressing specification. (see point 7.3.2 of this user
manual – „Communication settings”). Use tab RS232/485, field module
address to set address of a device appropriate for the Modbus network.
The default port of the Ethernet interface (TCP/IP) in Modbus network is
set to 502.
16.3. Register tables in ModBus network
Numbers on the output and input register tables are described below,
and they are compatible with the Offset of Modbus address set for value
0. In case of a value setting from 0 do 255, add the set value of Offset of
Modbus address to the output or input register number.
