Detailed descriptions of the configuration menus are provided in Section 3.2 on page 20.

When configuration is complete, press the softkey to exit setup mode. Save & Exit writes all parameter changes to NV RAM before returning to normal mode.

3.1 Configuration Methods

The 720i indicator can be configured by using the front panel keys to navigate through a series of configuration menus or by sending commands or configuration data to an indicator serial port. Configuration using the menus is described in Section 3.1.3 on page 19.

Configuration using the serial port can be

3.1.2 Serial Command Configuration

CONFIG

PORT 4

The serial command set can be used to configure the

720i indicator using either a personal computer,

terminal, or remote keyboard. Like

Revolution III,

serial command configuration sends commands to the indicator serial port; unlike

Revolution II I, serial

commands can be sent using any external device capable of sending ASCII characters over a serial connection.

Serial commands duplicate the functions available

the indicator front panel and provide some

using functions not otherwise available. Serial commands can be used to simulate pressing front panel keys, to configure the indicator, or to dump lists of parameter settings. See Section 10.1 on page 86 for more information about using the

3.1.3 Front Panel Configuration

serial command set.

By default, the 720i is configured to use the installed single-channel A/D as the source for Scale 1. To configure the

720i for serial scale support, use the

CONFIG submenu under the SCALES menu. For example: to configure a serial scale, set the serial

input function (SERI

AL menu) for Port 4 (or Port 7, if using a serial expansion card) to SCALE or INDUST (see Section 3.2.2 on page 33). Return to the top-level SCALES menu, then go Configuration, Configuration), then source options. Use the change the default

See Section 11.3 on page 102 for more information about configuring serial scales.

3.1.4 Multi-Range and Multi-Interval Scales

The 720i supports multi-range and multi-interval scales of either two or three ranges or intervals.

Multi-range scales provide

two or three ranges, each extending from zero to the maximum capacity specified for the range, that can specify different scale display divisions. The scale interval range changes as the applied weight increases but does not reset to lower range until the scale returns to zero.

Multi-interval s

cales divide the scale into two or three partial weighing ranges, each with different scale display divisions. The scale interval changes with both increasing and decreasing loads applied.

To configure a multi-range or multi-interval scale, use the SPLIT parameter to select 2RNG or 3RNG (for multi-range scales), or

2INTVL or 3INTVL (for multi-interval scales). Selecting a SPLIT value other than OFF allows specification of decimal point, display divisions, and maximum capacity for each range or interval.

The SPLIT parameter is used to enable multi-range or multi-interval. The S

PLIT parameter is in the SCALES menu, see Figure 3-7, and Table 3-2. After setting the SPLIT parameter, the

Format menu selection will

change as shown in Figure 3-9, and Table 3-4. If using streaming with multi-range or

the stream must be set to Custom in

multi-interval,

Revolution III. The

Tokens for Secondary and Tertiary Units must be set to L or K to match the Primary, refer to the Serial Menu, Tokens Parameter, in Section 3.2.2 on page 33. They can be set using

Revolution III or through the front

panel. In multi-range, each range has its own capacity and

display division, extending from ze

ro. The scale display division will increase at the entered range capacities, either two or three ranges. Once the range has increased to the next level, the display division will remain in new range until the scale returns to zero. The tare value can be taken in any range.

For example,

Range 1 is 0 - 3000 x 1 lb. Range 2 is 0 - 10,000 x 5 lb.

In multi-interval, the scale has one capacity, which is segmented into weighing intervals, either two or three intervals, each with different display division sizes. As the weight value exceeds an interval or set interval, the display division will increase, as the weight falls below an interval or set interval, the display division will decrease. The tare can only be taken in the first interval.

For example,

Range 1 is 0-30 x 0.01 lb. Range 2 is 30 - 60 x 0.02 lbs.

Rate of Change (ROC) Units Parameters

For applications using the ROC function, the primary scale should be configured with a finer resolution than the rate of change (ROC) units to prevent a stepwise appearance in the ROC display. The ROC display step size (weight increment between displayed values) can be roughly calculated as follows:

(updates_per_ROC_UNIT) * (PRIMARY_resolution / ROC_resolution)

For example, with INTERVL=30; REFRESH =0.1; UNITS=MIN; PRIMARY resolution at 0.1 LB and ROC resolution at 1.0 (LB/ MIN):

- INTERVL * REFRESH = 30 * 0.1 = 3.0 seconds per update (ROC data is flushed every 3.0 seconds)

- With UNITS = MIN, there are 20 ROC data updates per ROC time unit: 60 seconds / 3.0 seconds per update

- The resolution ratio of PRIMARY to ROC units is 0.1 (0.1 / 1.0)

- This configuration provides a step size in the ROC display of 2 LB (2 LB increments between displayed values):

20 * 0.1 = 2

Note that setting both PRIMARY and ROC display resolutions to 1 LB would have resulted in a step size of 20 LB.

The 720i can be calibrated using the front panel, serial commands, or Revoluti o n III®. Each method consists of the following steps:

• Zero calibration

• E ntering the test weight value

• Span calibration

• Optional five-point linearization

• Optional rezero calibration for test weights using hooks or chains

The following sections describe the

calibration procedure for each of the calibration methods.

Figure 4-1. Calibration (CALIBR) Submenu

4.1 Gravity Compensation

Gravity compensation for latitude and elevation is available for the 720i. To calibrate with gravity compensation, the LOCALE parameter under the FEATURE menu must be set ON, and the LATUDE (latitude) and ELEVAT (elevation, in meters) parameters set before calibrating the indicator (see Figure 3-10 on page 32).

If the indicator is later installed at a dif

ferent location, gravity compensation can be applied to a pre-calibrated

indicator by adjusting the LATUDE and ELEVAT parameters.

4.2 Front Panel Calibration

The CALIBR submenu (under the SCALES menu, see Figure 4-2) is used to calibrate the

4.3 Serial Command Calibration

To calibrate the indicator using serial commands, the indicator serial port must be connected to a terminal or personal computer. See Section 2.3.3 on page 7 for serial port pin assignments; see Section 10.0 on page 86 for more information about using serial commands.

Once the indicator is connected to the sending device, do the

following:

1. Place the indicator in setu

p mode (display reads CONFIG) and remove all weight from the scale platform. If your test weights require hooks or chains, place the hooks or chains on the scale for zero calibration.

2. Send the SC.WZERO#1 serial command to librate zero.

3. Place test weights on the scale and use the

SC.WV

AL command to enter the test weight

value in the following format:

SC.WVAL#1=vvvvv<CR>

4. Send the SC.WSPAN#1 serial command to

calibrate span.

5. Up to five linearization points can be calibrated

between the

zero and span calibration values. Use the following commands to set and calibrate a single linearization point:

SC.WLIN#1.V1=vvvvv<CR> SC.WLIN#1.C1<CR>

The SC.WLIN#1.V1 command sets the test weight value (vvvvv) for linearization point 1. The SC.WLIN#1.C1 command calibrates the point. Repeat using the SC.WLIN#1.Vx and SC.WLIN#1.Cx commands as required for additional linearization points.

48 720i Installation Manual

Page 55

6. To remove an offset value, clear all weight from the scale, including hooks or chains used to hang test weights, then send the SC.REZERO#1 serial command.

7. Send the KSAVE seria l command to save the calibration changes; send KEXIT to exit setup mode.

6.0 Print Formatting

Note

The 720i provides print formats that determine the format of the printed output when the PRINT key is pre ssed, a KPRINT serial command is received, or when truck weigh-in or weigh-out operations are performed. Supp orted print formats are: GFMT, NFMT, ACCFMT, SPFMT, SETPNT, TRWIN, TRWOUT, ALERT, and AUXFMT1— AUXFMT20. Additionally, two header formats, HDRFMT1 and HDRFMT2, can be inserted into any of the other ticket formats using the <H1> and <H2>formatting commands. The particular ticket format used for a given print operation depends on the indicator configuration (see Table 6-2 on page 54) and the particular operation performed.

Each print format can be customized to include up to 1000 characters address, on printed tickets. You can customize the print formats using the

serial commands.

6.1 Print Formatting Commands

Table 6-1 lists commands you can use to format the 720i print formats. Commands included in the format strings must be enclosed between < and > delimiters. Any characters outside of the delimiters are printed ticket. Text characters can include any ASCII character that can be printed by the output device.

The following sections describe procedures for customizing print formats using the Revolution III configuration utility or serial commands. See Section 11.5 on page 103 for information about custom stream formatting.

6.3.1 Using Revolution

The Revolution III configuration utility provid es a ticket formatting grid with a tool bar. The grid allows you to construct the ticket format without using the formatting commands (<NL> and <SP>) required by the front panel or serial command methods. Using fields from the tool bar and place them where you want them to appear on the printed ticket.

If you are using Advance Truck mode, expand all AUXFMT horizontal columns to a minimum of 80 columns due to the size of the default formats.

Figure 6-1 shows an example of the Revolution II I print formatting display.

Revolution III, you can type text directly into the grid, then select weight value

If you have no access to equipment for communication through a serial port or are working at a site where such equipment cannot be used, you can use the PFORMT menu (see Figure 6-2 56) to customize the print formats.

Figure 6-2. PFORMT Menu

Each print format can be edited from the front panel using a character selection like that shown in Figure 6-3. Use the navigation keys (

up, down, left, right) to move around and between the format command line and the character

selection list.

Figure 6-3. Print Formatting Character Selection Display

• To add a character: position the cursor in the format where you want to add the character. Use the up key to return to the character selection list, use the navigation keys to highlight the character to add, then press The new character is added to the left of the current cursor location in the format string.

To save the edited format string, position the cursor in the format string and press enter

. Softkeys shown on the

character selection display provide additional functions:

Default Restores the string to its default value. Home Positions cursor at the beginning of the format string. Cancel Exits without saving changes to the format string. End Positions cursor at the end of the format string. Restore Restores the string to its previously saved value.

Print Test softkey is shown under the FMT parameter after exiting the character selection display. If a printer is

attached, this key can be used to verify the edited string format before exiting setup mode.

The Print Test softkey is not available for the HDRFMTx formats. These formats can be output only when inserted into one of the printable ticket formats by using the <H1> or <H2> print format commands.

6.3.3 Using Serial Commands

With a personal computer, terminal, or remote keyboard attached to one of the 720i serial ports, you can use the serial command set described in Table 6-1 on pa ge 52 to customize the print format strings.

To view the current setting of a format string, type example, to check the current configuration of the GFMT format, type GFMT.FMT and press

the name of the print format and press the Enter key. For

Enter. The indicator

responds by sending the current configuration for the gross format:

GFMT.FMT=GROSS<G><NL2><TD><NL>

To change the format, use the GFMT.FMT or NFMT.FMT serial command followed by an equals sign (=) and the modified print format string. For example, to add the name and address of a company to the gross format, you could send the following serial command:

GFMT.FMT=MOE'S DUMP<NL>2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2><G> GROSS<NL>

A ticket printed using this format might look like the following:

MOE'S DUMP 2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD SMALLTOWN

1345 LB GROSS

The ticket above could also be formatted by specifying the company address information in the HDRFMT1 ticket format, then substituting the <H1> command for the address in the GFMT ticket format:

HDRFMT1=MOE'S DUMP<NL>2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2>

GFMT.FMT=<H1><G> GROSS<NL>

Sto r ed I D s let you keep a database of truck IDs and

weigh-in weights in the indicator’s memory. The indicator can automatically store up to 1000 truck IDs and tares; or it can clear the information after printing a weigh-out ticket. For example, if the same truck seldom crosses the scale, it may not be practical to save its ID number and weigh-in weight. However, if that same truck crosses the scale many times each day, it’s more convenient to store the information in the indicator memory and recall it when needed. Stored IDs and weights are available in modes 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Keyed tares allow you to manually enter the tare weight

using the numeric keypad and the tares are available in modes 1, 3, and 5. To use keyed tares, an incoming truck must be empty at weigh-in, full at weigh-out.

Some local regulations require the tare weight to be read from the scale. If so, don’t use the keyed tares feature.

Value swapping ensures that the lower of two weight

values associated with a particular ID number is used as the tare weight. For example, if a truck crosses the scale fully loaded at weigh-in, then unloads and crosses the scale empty at weigh-out, the indicator automatically assigns the lesser (empty truck) weight as the tare. Value swapping is available in modes 1, 2, 3, and 4.

In the OIML regulatory mode, modes 5 and 6 are not allowed to complete a transaction if the outbound weight is greater than the inbound weight. In this case, the indicator will display an error message "Illegal Weighment", because a negative net weight cannot be printed as a legal weight.

7.1 Using the Truck Modes

T o select a truck in/out mode, enter setup mode, use the navigation keys to go to the FEATURE menu, then to the TRUCK submenu to select the mode.

When a mode is selected, softkeys

are automatically configured for truck mode operation (In PCEE version software only).

7.3 Weigh-In Procedure

Note

In modes 1 and 2, the indicator erases truck ID numbers and tare weights from memory after the transaction. In modes 3–6, the truck ID and weigh-in weight values are saved after the weigh-out ticket has been processed.

The general weigh-in procedure is as follows:

1. The empty truck moves onto the scale for weigh-in.

2. Press the

Weigh In softkey.

3. A prompt is shown to enter the truck ID (up to eight

alphanumeric characters). Enter the ID,

7.5 Single-Transaction Tare Weights and IDs

One-time transactions are supported in all modes that can be configured to use stored IDs (modes 3–6). This function allows one-time weighing of trucks without adding the truck ID and weigh-in weight to the permanent truck register.

To use this function, press the

Weigh In or Weigh Out

softkey, then enter a truck ID containing a decimal point. IDs entered with a decimal point as part of the ID are erased from the truck register when the transaction is complete.

This option is not available with Advance Mode enabled.

7.6 Using the Advance Mode

Under the TRUCK submenu ADVANCE is available. Setting the truck mode to this enables the advance mode. This will automatically turn on the

Reports and Management softkeys.

If you use Revolution III® to enable Advanced

8.0 Setpoints

Note

Directions in this chapter require the batching version of software (720i batching).

The 720i indicator provides 32 configurable setpoints for control of both indicator and external equipment functions. Setpoints can be configured to perform actions or functions based on specified parameter conditions. Parameters associated with various setpoint kinds can, for example, be configured to perform functions (print, tare, accumulate), to change the state of a digital output controlling indicator or external equipment functions, or to make conditional decisions.

Weight-based setpoints are tripped by values specified in primary units only.

8.1 Batch and Continuous Setpoints

720i setpoints can be either continuous or batch

setpoints.

Continuous setpoints are free-running: the

indicator constantly monitors the condition of free-running setpoints at each A/D update. The specified setpoint action or function is performed when the designated setpoint parameter conditions are met. A digital output or function assigned to a free-running setpoint continuously changes state, becoming active or inactive, as defined by the setpoint parameters.

Batch setpoints are active one at a time, in an

ordered sequence. The 720i can use setpoints to control up to 32 separate batch processing steps.

A digital output associated with a batch setpoint is

ive until the setpoint condition is met, then

act latched for the remainder of the batch sequence.

To use batch setpoints, you must activate the BA

TCHNG parameter on the SETPTS menu. This parameter defines whether a batch sequence is automatic or manual. AUTO sequences repeat continuously , while MANUAL sequences require a BATSTRT signal. The BATSTRT signal can be initiated by a digital input, serial command, or

Batch Start softkey.

For setpoint kinds that can be used as either co

ntinuous or batch setpoints, the BATCH parameter must also be set ON. (Setpoint kinds that can only be used as batch setpoints do not require the BATCH parameter.) If the setpoint is defined but the BATCH parameter is off, the setpoint operates as a continuous setpoint, even during batch sequences.

In applications that contain both batch setpoint routines and continuous setpoints, continuous setpoints should be kept separate from the

The timer value, specified in tenths o determines the length of time allowed between start and end setpoints. The indicator START and END parameters are used to specify the start and end setpoints. If the END setpoint is not reached before the timer expires, the digital output associated with this setpoint is activated.

CONCUR Allows a digital output to remain active over a spe

sequence. Two types of concur setpoints can be configured:

Type 1 (VALUE=0): The digital output associated with this setpoint becomes active

when the START setpoint becomes the current batch step and remains active until the END setpoint becomes the current batch step.

Type 2 (VALUE > 0): If a non-zero value is specified for the VALUE parameter, that

value represents the timer, in tenths of a second, for this setpoint. The digital output associated with this setpoint becomes active when the START setpoint becomes the current batch step and remains active until the timer expires.

CHKWEI Checkweigher setpoint. Allows specification of over- and under-weight values. Up

to three digital outputs can be configured to represent overweight, underweight, and accept conditions.

ALWAYS Always setpoint. This setpoint is always satisfied. It is typically used to provide an

endpoint for true/false branching batch routines.

NEVER Never setpoint. This setpoint is never satisfied. It is used to branch to a

designated setpoint in true/false branching batch routines in which the batch will not continue through the normal sequence of batch setpoints.

Specifies whether the setpoint is satisfied when the weight is higher or lower than the setpoint value, within a band established around the value, or outside of that band.

setpoint, once off, can trip on again.

Allows the digital output associated with a setpoint to shut off before the setpoint is satisfied to allow for material in suspension.

The ON value adjusts the setpoint trip value up or down (depending on the TRIP parameter setting) from the setpoint value using a fixed value specified on the PREVAL parameter.

The LEARN value can be used to automatically adjust the preact value after each batch. LEARN compares the actual weight at standstill to the target setpoint value, then adjusts the preact PREVAL by the PREADJ value times the difference after each batch.

FLOW preact provides dynamic compensation for material flow rate in determining when to shut off the digital output. Rather than waiting for the specified weight to be reached, FLOW preact uses the change in weight over time to anticipate when the TRIP minus PREACT weight value will be reached.

Depending on the TRIP setting specified for the setpoint, the setpoint trip value is adjusted up or down by the PREVAL value.

Preact adjustment factor. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies a decimal representation of the percentage of error correction applied (0.5 = 50%, 1.0 = 100%) each time a PREACT adjustment is made.

Preact stabilization time-out. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies the time, in 0.1-second intervals, to wait for standstill before adjusting the PREACT value. Setting this parameter to a value greater than zero disables the learn process if standstill is not achieved in the specified interval.

Preact learn interval. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies the number of batches after which the preact value is recalculated. The default value, 1, recalculates the preact value after every batch cycle.

Tolerance band. For setpoints with TRIP set to HIGHER or LOWER, specifies a tolerance band around the target weight. If the captured weight is not within the specified tolerance band, the preact learn function is not applied and the batch is paused (based on the value of the TOLCNT parameter, below) until restarted or reset.

9.0 Using ProAction PCEE

Note

When working with this chapter, the PCE Version software must be installed.

In addition to Revolution III®, the 720i is supported by two additional applications that extend its capabilities for batch control and database management. ProAction PCEE, or Process Control Engine Editor, provides functions similar to setpoint configuration for creating, editing, and managing databases in the

PCEE is developed around a step, A step contains conditions and actions (see example bel

accomplish the true actions. If the conditions are not met, the false actions are executed. When a transition happens to the condition, the corresponding true or false actions will be executed. All actions will all be executed even after a pause.

Example:

The condition could be a Weight Compare

(Gross is trip higher than 1000).

The false action could be to turn on a digital output

(Digital I/O 1 is On, since weight is below 1000).

The true action could be to turn off the digital output

(Digital I/O 1 is Off, since the weight is above 1000).

Steps are typically sequenced one after another. This is accomplished by actions that allow a step to deactivate itself and to activate other steps. The true action list for the above example is:

• Digital I/O is Off

• Deactivate Step 1

• Activate Step 2

When a step is enabled, the actions will only be from true to false, or from false to true. Deactivated steps are not evaluated until activated by another step. When a step is activated (enabled), either the true or false actions will be executed.

Writing a PCE Process

The first step to writing a PCE Process is to decide what small routines are to be built into the total process. This could include steps for:

• The batch process

• E ntering a new target weight

• Printing the weight

• Other functions relating to the process

Before the steps are created, you should write out the sequen

ce of the process/functions on a worksheet. Then,

consider the following in working through the details:

• The softkeys or inputs/outputs required

• T he steps “enabled” at power-up (at least one is required to start the process)

• Determine the condition to evaluate for each

step, and the actions

• What the print formats are going to be

• W hat database tables need to be created and the data stored in each field

As each step is built, keep in mind the True, False, and Paus

e lists execute the actions in the order they are listed,

meaning an action such as “print” should precede an action such as “tare.” Steps for a particular routine can be built

and tested using just that routine, and when all of the smaller routines are

complete, a final merge can be done to finalize the process.

Using ProAction PCEE 81

Page 88

Within the PCE, there are four temporary variables called user data. They are used as an interface between:

Note

• The steps and the database (such as reading or writing data)

• T he user and the database (such as searching by an ID)

• The user and the step compares (such as setting a tar

All data goes through these temporary variables as a “Get” or “Set.”

get value)

A “Get” is used to get data from a user or from

a condition in a step. A “Set” is used to put data into a condition in a step. Each variable supports a different type of data: integer (whole numbers without a decimal point); real (numbers

t can contain a decimal point); string (alphanumeric printable data); and datetime (preset format for the date and

tha time to be stored and printed). There is one location for each type of user data. The

User Clear action will clear out

one of the four variables based on its type.

Performing a Merge

There are some checks to perform whenever merging is used because the editor assigns condition numbers to each step:

1. Re-Check each step’s

3. If a

Pause, Reset, and Restore Process

Step Compare is used, verify the correct step is being evaluated.

The above checks also apply if a step is moved up or down. If you move a step, ensure condition numbers are updated accordingly.

There are three unique actions that need a bit of clarification: the Pause Process, Reset Process, and Restore Process. These actions are used to pause the process and then either restore (continue) or reset (abort) the process. These actions are typically accomplished with a softkey or a digital input.

These actions will only af steps means only those steps will be affected. When a

fect the steps that have the Pausable flag set. Setting this flag in any of the actual process

Pause Process is initiated, only the pause actions for the

current step (or other enabled, pausable steps) are run. Those steps without the pausable flag set will still operate as normal. For example, a free-running independent weight compare or any non-pausable, enabled step can continue to activate/deactivate other non-pausable steps.

Pause will stop the pausable steps. The state of each step is then saved. If a Restore is then executed, the steps’

A states are restored and the process continues where it left off. If the

Reset action is executed, all pausable steps go

back to the default state and the process will need to be manually restarted based on the setup of the process. Along with the PCE Editor, there is also a Databas

e Editor to build and download a database that can be used by PCEE. First a Schema is built. This is the framework of the database. This will include the name, number of fields, and the type of data each field will contain. This data can be used for displaying prompts, gathering data during a batch process, and as a warehouse for any data that the PCE needs to use.

Use of the database is addressed using the database

commands discussed later in this document.

Revolution

Whenever a PCE process is built, be sure to build a Revolution II I hardware configuration file using the 720i module so that all configuration parameters match the process. The

Revolution I II file will define any required

digital i/o, softkeys, and the print formats (AuxFmt) used.

Revolution II I, there is a Monitor Mode in the Tools tab of the editor, which can be used to set individual

In parameters such as a DigOut to Output or Input.

Setting Up a Simple Three-Step Fill

The following example will set up three steps to start the process with DigIn 1, turn on DigOut 2 until the target is reached (100 lbs), and wait for the scale to empty before allowing a restart.

For ease in debugging your process, there is an EDP comma

nd that will dump the raw list of commands you have sent to the 720i, "SPSUMP." The first half of the list is all the conditions and actions. The second half lists the steps and associated conditions and actions by numeric reference.

The Enable flag will be True for the steps that are presently active. If they were set to ENABLED on download and no other step ever turns it off, it should still be ENABLED. If it was off at download and is part of a process sequence, then it may be on now to represent where the process is at this time. The EDP command can be used every step of the process to watch the progress. It is very useful.

Helpful Hints

PCE has a special feature, called auto-sequence, that when enabled, will automatically add an Activate and Deactivate action to the current step. This is used to consecutively enable and disable steps in a routine to form a process flow.

Enable is a preset flag that you set to activate a step on a download or reset. That is its default state. A Restore

The will always put this flag back to a default state when processed. It can also be turned ON or OFF from any other step to form a sequence of steps. If it stays on and no other step turns it off, it can be considered free-running and is always examined by the PCE.

Pausable flag is used for any step to be included in a pause action. Any time the process needs to be paused, this

The pause list in each pausable step will be executed. This flag also marks steps to be included in a

Reset action to put

them back to its default state, particularly to put the enable flag back to its default state.

Reset Process with reset all pausable steps back to the downloaded default settings. If a pause was not

Restore action sets all paused steps back to where they were when the pause was executed so the process can

the timer’s state. A simple hint for naming the steps is to insert

a character or number before the step name, i.e. “A. Start.” The next step would then be “A. Setup,” for example. This routine is then saved as group of steps and the next routine can be built with a prefix of “B.” When the merge is done, this simplified identifying which steps are grouped together in the total process.

Once a negative value is used for a Weight Compare, any new value set from a Set Compare will retain the negative sign.

Within the Weight Compare steps we can add actions that are the same as the old setpoints used, such as Tare Sca l e ,

Math functions of Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide are supplied and used as follows:

• T here are two sources for the data to be worked with. Immediate is the value within the step to be used. Database is the field of the data to be used. This source is then added, subtracted, etc. from the user variables. The result is then left in the user variable so it can be either printed or written to the database. Also only Integers and Real variables can be used.

Database Information

A Database consists of a group of fields that comprise a record; Record 1 = F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 etc.

Record 2 = F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 etc.

To ensure a simple search, try to make Field 1 an integer to be used as an index number. This will allow you to search for an index and then get the other fields as you need them, or insert data to them after a successful search.

A Sort of the database by index will sort all records by the index and place them in order . This is not mandatory, but makes working with a database much easier.

The database index is the database number assigned from the Database Editor. DB 1 is always the embedded Truck Database for Weigh In / Weigh out functions. The next is DB 2 which is the first PCE database that can be used. Eight databases are allowed, but as the number increases the size of each is reduced. Slot is usually 0 as memory card expansion options are not allowed in the 720i.

There are two actions that are similar but need further definition. They are the DB Write and DB Capture. The DB Write will put a user variable into a field specified by the step. The DB Capture will put a captured value specified by the step into a database field. Captured data can be trip weight from a

Weight Compare condition, Weight Compare preact

value, motion status, timer state, DigIn or step state, current time and date, or a current register value.

Add Record, Delete Record, and Copy Record pertains to the complete record with all fields involved. DB Write, DB Read, and DB Clear only affect the specified field of the current record.

A Set Compare or Get Compare is the method used to either retrieve the Compare value or set it to a new value. These values would be such as a

Weight Compare (Trip) value. This is assigned to a condition number, not a step number.

This is because a step could have multiple conditions of similar type so we need to aim at the exact condition. From the Tools menu, there is a selection for Te x t V i e w. There is also a keyboard shortcut of CTRL+T. We can go look at the condition we want to Set or Get and then switch to Text View to see the exact condition

number to assign. If you hover your mouse over any condition, it will show an ID number which is also the condition number.

An example of a Text View would be: SP.CONDITION#5=WEIGHT,SCALE1,GROSS,0,HIGHER,OFF,0. With this example, we would assign our Set Compare to condition 5. Also a Set or Get Compare can come from a user

variable after a

User Get or from the Database from a specified field.

10.0 Serial Commands

The 720i indicator can be controlled by a personal computer or remote keyboard connected to an indicator serial port. Control is provided by a set of serial commands that can simulate front panel key press functions, display and change setup parameters, and perform reporting functions. The serial commands provide the capability to print configuration data or to save that data to an attached personal computer. This section describes the serial command set and procedures for saving and transferring data using the serial ports.

10.1 The Serial Command Set

The serial command set can be divided into five groups: key press commands, reporting commands, the RESETCONFIGURATION special function command, parameter setting commands, and transmit weight data commands.

When the indicator processes a serial command, it

sponds with the message

10.1.4 Parameter Setting Commands

Parameter setting commands allow you to display or change the current value for a particular configuration parameter (Tables 10-3 through 10-10).

Current configuration para

meter settings can be displayed in either setup mode or normal mode using the following syntax:

command<ENTER>

Most parameter values can be changed in setup mode only.

Use the following command syntax when parameter values:

command=value<ENTER>, where value

SC.MOTBAND#1=5<ENTER>

For parameters with selectable values, enter the command and equal sign followed by a question mark:

command=?<ENTER> to see a list of those values. The

indicator must be in setup mode to use this function.

Some parameters are valid only if other parameters or parameter values are specified. See the configuration menus in Section 3.2 on page 20 for information about parameter dependencies. Restrictions for front-panel configuration also apply to serial command configuration.
