Applications
The 1280 can be used in a variety of applications, including checkweighing, counting, recipe batching and truck in/out. For
these frequently used applications, the 1280 includes built-in programs that can be used as-is or customized for specific needs.
1.11.1 Checkweigher Application
The checkweigher application is included with the 1280 standard firmware. This application is a static checkweigher with a
stored low and high weight associated with an ID. A di gital output is activated based on the status of the weight. The digital
output stores the ID, weight, status (under, accept, or over) and time/date in a database. The print key can be pressed to print
the last transaction’s ID, weight, status and time/date. Two softkeys are available:
2.System prompts Enter ID to Checkweigh. Enter a stored ID with associated low and high weights.
3.The ID, low and high weights are displayed and the system waits for the threshold to be triggered.
Checkweigh
1.When the weight exceeds the threshold weight, the indicator checks that an ID was selected. If an ID has not be
selected, the system does nothing. If an ID has been selected, the system waits for standstill and compares the gross
or net weight (whichever mode Scale 1 is currently in) against the low and high weights.
• I f the weight is less than the low weight, the system displays Under and turns on the Under output.
• If the weight is more than the high weight, the system displays Over and turns on the Over output.
• If the weight is more than the low weight and less than the high weight, the system displays Accept and turns on the
Accept output.
2.A record will be stored to the database with the ID, the weight, the status (under, accept or over) and time/date.
StatusOutput

When the threshold weight is exceeded, the system checks if an ID has been selected.
If an ID has been selected, the system will wait for standstill before reading the weight
and categorizing it based on low or high weight. Additionally, if the weight goes below
the threshold weight, the system will clear out the last weighment information and turn
off the output.

The 1280 counting application is included with the 1280 standard firmware. This application has two scales, one for sampling
and one for counting. Upon startup, the softkeys
Sample Size, Scale Select, APW, Clear Tare and Setup Menu are available.
Select Sample Size
1.Press the Sample Size softkey. The sample size will toggle to five pieces. If pressed again it will toggle to 10 pieces,
then 20, then 50, then 100, then 200, then back to five.
2.Press
Sample Size once to enter Sample Size Mode. Press a numeric key followed by the Enter key to enter any
number as the sample size (instead of toggling to one of the choices listed above).
3.Once the correct sample size is displayed in the softkey, press
Enter to calculate the APW based on the current
weight, current scale and current sample size. The number of pieces will display. This number is continuously updated
as the weight or scale selected changes.
Select Scale
1.Press the Scale Select softkey to switch between scales.
2.There are two scales available. Typically one is used for sampling (smaller capacity) and one is used for counting
(larger capacity). This application works the same for both scales, or if only one scale is used for both sampling and
counting. The piece count is always referencing the current scale that is displayed.
Enter APW
Press the APW softkey to enter a new known APW for the current part.
Counting Pieces
The number of pieces will display. This number is continuously updated as the weight, scale selected or mode selected
changes. This includes adding pieces or removing pieces, as well as going to a negative net as pieces are removed from a net
zero weight. For example, if a full box was placed on the scale,
Tare was pressed to tare off the weight to net zero, and then the
count pieces were removed, the scale would display a negative number.

4.3.1Adaptive Digital Filter
The adaptive digital filter has two parameters to set the response time and observe noise (instability): Filter Sensitivity and Filter
Threshold (Display Divisions). These parameters display in blue text after the Digital Filter Type is set to Adaptive Digital Filter.

will reset the filtered values. Must be set above the noise disturbances in the system. If set to
zero, the filter is disabled.
Table 4-9. Adaptive Digital Filter Menu Descriptions
Filtering Threshold
Digital filtering threshold should be set for the amount of observed noise in the system. This parameter can be set in the range
of 0 to 99999 display divisions. When a new sampled weig ht value is acquired, the adaptive digital filter compares the new
value to the previous (filtered) output value. If the difference between the new value and the previous output value is greater
than the Threshold parameter (displayed division), the adaptive digital filter output is reset. The newly acquired sample value
replaces the filtered output. If the difference between the new value and the previous output value is less than the
parameter, the two values are averaged together using a weighed average. The weighed average is based on the time the
system has been stable and the selected sensitivity setting.
The filter can be set to
Off by entering 0 in the Thresholdparameter.
1.To determine the initial setting for the threshold, first set the value to 0.
Example: If a heavy-capacity scale (10000 x 5 lb) produces vibration-related readings of up to 50 lb,
with occasional spikes to 75 lb, record 50 lb as the threshold weight value.
2.In weigh mode, determine the amount of instability that is present. Convert this instability to display divisions.
3.Set the threshold to the number of display divisions of instability.
threshold_weight_value / display_divisions
In the example in Step 2, with a threshold weight value of 50 lb and a display divisions value of 5 lb: 50 / 5 = 10.
Threshold should be set to 10D for this example.
4.Further tweak this value, along with the sensitivity, to achieve the desired results. Set sensitivity for the desired
response for weight changes; light for less stable but quicker responses, heavy for more stable but slower responses.
The Three Stage Digital filter is a simple rolling average filter with three successive stages. The values assigned to each of the
three stages determines the number of A/D readings averaged by that stage. Th e output value of each stage is passed on to
the next stage at each A/D update. The overall filtering effect can be expressed by adding the values assigned to the filter
stages and subtracting two.
Example: If the filter stages were set to 16,
step change on the input would be fully realized on the display in 22 A/D samples. Setting the filters to 1 ((1+1+1)-2=1)
effectively disables the Three Stage Filter.

Threshold before filtering is suspended.
Sets a threshold value, in display divisions. When a number of consecutive A/D readings (Filter Sensitivity) falls outside of this threshold value (when compared to the

the filter. Filtering will not be suspended if the threshold is set to None.
from the immediate area of the scale. Choices indicate the number of A/D conversions per update that are averages to obtain the displayed reading. A higher number
gives a more accurate display by minimizing the effect of a few noisy readings, but
slows down the response time of the indicator.
Table 4-10. Three Stage Digital Filter
Filter Sensitivity and Threshold
The Three Stage Digital filter can be used by itself to eliminate vibration effects, but heavy filtering also increases response
time. Filter Sensitivity and Threshold can be used to temporarily override filter averaging to improve response time.
Setting the Digital Filter Parameters
Use the following procedure to determine vibration effects on the scale and optimize the digital filtering configuration.
1.In setup mode, set the digital filter parameters to 1. Set Filt
er Threshold to None. Return indicator to weigh mode.
2.Remove all weight from the scale. Watch the indicator display to determine the amount of stability of the scale. Record
the weight below which all but a few readings fall. This value is used to calculate the Threshold parameter value in
Step 4.
Example, if a heavy-capacity scale (10000 x 5 lb) produces vibration-related readings of up to 50 lb,
with occasional spikes to 75 lb, record 50 lb as the threshold weight value.
3.Place the indicator in setup mode and set the Stage Filter Value parameters to eliminate the vibration effects on the
scale. (Leave Threshold set to NONE.) Find the lowest effective value for the Stage Filter Value parameters.
4.Calculate the Threshold parameter value by converting the weight value recorded in Step 2 to display divisions:
threshold_weight_value / display_divisions
In the example in Step 2, with a threshold weight value of 50 lb and a display divisions value of 5 lb: 50 / 5 = 10. Threshold should be set to 10D for this example.
5.Set the Sensitivity parameter high enough to ignore transient peaks. Longer transients (typically caused by lower
vibration frequencies) will cause more consecutive out-of-band readings, so Sensitivity should be set higher to counter
low frequency transients. Reconfigure as necessary to find the lowest effective value for the Sensitivity parameter.
RattleTrap
RattleTrap filtering uses a vibration-dampening algorithm to automatically provide the best features of digital filtering. It is
particularly effective for eliminating vibration effects or mechanical interference from nearby machinery. Using RattleTrap
filtering can automatically eliminate environmental influences, but will usually increase response time over standard digital
filtering. If RattleTrap is set to on, sensitivity and threshold parameter settings are ignored.

4.6Serial Scale Type
The Serial Scale type allows other scale indicators to send gross or net weig ht data to the 1280 using a continuous stream of
data through a communications port.
4.6.1Legal for Trade
For a Legal for Trade serial scale, the data must contain the unit of measure, mode of operation and status (in addition to the
weight). The configuration of a Legal for Trade serial scale is very limited as it acts similarly to a remote display. For this reason,
the scale cannot be tared or zeroed on the 1280 but must be done on the host indicator.
If the data packet for a Legal for Trade serial scale does not contain all the necessary information, or the information is
incorrect
, the scale will show an error.
4.6.2Industrial Scales
For industrial scales, the only data needed is the gross weight. The data can (but does not need to) include the unit of measure,
mode or status. If the unit of measure is included, it can be used to change the capacity label on the 1280 display. If not, the 1280 will always assume it is primary units.
If the mode is included, the scale will display an error if anything other than the gross mode is indicated. If the mode is not
ded, the weight is assumed to be gross.
inclu
If status is included, it is ignored with the exception of the center of ze ro indicator. The serial scale cannot determine if the
ading is within the center of zero band. The only way to show the ce nter of zero ba nd is to have the h ost indicator include t hat
re
information (using the status token) in the data.
Though the 1280 ca
nnot zero an industrial serial scale (zeroing must take place on the host in dicator), it is possible to take a
tare and display the resulting net weight.
Digital filtering is available with the use of an industrial serial scale. If digital filtering is enabled and the display
division size of the incoming weight data is greater than the display division size of the industrial serial scale
configuration, the displayed weight will count by the smaller division size, due to the averaging nature of the filters.
4.6.3Configuration
The 1280 supports serial scale data input on any of the RS-232/RS-485 ports, as well as the Ethernet TCP/IP.
1.In the Communications menu, select the desired port.
2.Set the Input Type to either Legal for Trade or Industrial Serial Scale. Set the remaining parameters as necessary to
match the parameters of the incoming serial data.
3.In the Scales menu, set the scale kind of the scale to either Legal for Trade Serial Scale or Industrial Serial Scale.
4.Select the communication port to link to the selected scale. Only communications ports that have been configured as
serial scales will be displayed.
5.Set the capacity, decimal point, count-by and units to match that of the incoming data. This is done so the capacity
label (shown on the display near the weight) is correct. To configure the actual format of the data, go to the Scales/General tab and select a stream format (1-4).
6.Navigate to the Formats menu, and select Stream Formats.
68Visit our website www.RiceLake.com
Page 75
Scale Configuration
Note
7.Select the format (1-4) in the left pane. The current stream format will be shown. Either select one of the pre-defined
built-in formats, or create a custom format to match the input data format. If necessary, set the token values. See
Section 7.2 on page 93 for more information about configuring the stream format.
If using a Legal for Trade serial scale, there are additional settings under the Scales/General tab; these include enabling the
accumulator and visibility. If using an industrial serial scale, there are additional general settings for the tare function, overload
and motion determination, as well as filter settings under the Scales/Filtering tab.
The flow of data into the indicator must be continuous – if the flow is interrupted for more than a second, the scale
will show an error.
No matter the type, if the data received does not match exactly that which is expected (as defined by the stream
format configuration), the data is thrown out and the scale will show an error.
The Communications menu is used for the setup of communication parameters for the 1280.

local indicator, set to the localhost address of 127.0.0.1. If a local/remote application, set
this parameter, on the remote indicator only, to the IP address of the local indicator to
use its display.
Table 6-4. General Parameters Menu
6.2.1Local/Remote Operation
Local/remote support provides a function equivalent to that of an indicator via web server with network access. The display on
the local indicator is also displayed at the remote unit, and keypad input from the remote unit is treated the same as keypad
input on the local indicator.
1.Connect both indicators to the same Ethernet TCP/IP or Wi-Fi network.
2.Look up the local indicator’s IP address by pressing the Wi-Fi symb ol in Weigh mode (to bring up the Network
Information screen), or look it up under the Communications menu in Configuration mode.
3.On the remote indicator, use the Features/General menu to change the Local/Remote Server Address to the IP
address of the local indicator.
4.When in weigh mode, the remote will display a copy of the local indicator's display. Key presses on the remote
indicator are passed back to the local to perfo rm their intended function.
•It is recommended to use static IP addresses (set DHCP to Off) when using the local/remote feature, to avoid connection
issues.
• For an indicator to show its own display, the Local/Remote Server Address must be set to 127.0.0.1. The display is treated as a
remote if any other IP address is entered.
• If the configuration switch is pr essed on the remote indicator, the remotes configuration menu is shown on the remote on ly. If the
configuration switch is pressed on the local indicator, the locals configuration menu is shown on both indicators.
• If the local indicator goes off-line, the remote indicator’s display is blank, or has dashes for the weight.
• The remote indicator can only display the local’s display and return key/virtual keypad presses. Weight data is not available at
the remote indicator for functions such as printing, serial data streaming or setpoints.
A virtual display can be viewed on a computer or mobile device using an Intern et browser that supports HTML 5 a nd Javascript,
such as Internet Explorer v10 and newer, Chrome v30 and newer or Firefox v32 and newer. In addition to viewing, virtual
keypad elements can be activated by clicking on them in the browser window.
80 a
To use this feature, the 12
nd computer/mobile device must be connected to the same network. In the browser’s address
bar (URL), type the 1280’s IP address, using TCP port 3000.
Example: If the 1280's
IP address is 192.168.0.1, then navigate the browser to http://192.168.0.1:3000.
