1.0 Introduction

The 820i is a programmable, multi-channel digital weight indicator/controller. The configuration can be performed using the front panel, with an attached

PS/2

-type keyboard, or using the Revolution utility.

Custom event-driven programs can be written with the

iRite-IDE

language. These programs are compiled with an iRite-IDE compiler utility, which can only be downloaded into the indicator. The RLWS Web Update utility can be used to download 820i firmware upgrades to a PC from the RLWS web site; Revolution provides functions for installing the new software into the 820i.

Onboard Features

Features of the basic 820i include:

• Support for two A/D or serial scale inputs, or total of all scales.

• Eight digital I/O channels on main board, each configurable as either input or output.

• Two serial ports on main board support duplex RS-232 up to 115200 bps. Port 2 supports RS-232 with hardware handshaking; Port 4 supports RS-232, 20mA output, and 2-wire RS-485 communications.

• Available in 115 VAC and 230 VAC North American and European versions.

• Configurable print formats can be defined for up to 1000 characters each. These formats are used to print gross or net weights, truck in/out weights, setpoint weights, accumulator weights, alert messages, and header information. Additional print formats can be created using twenty auxiliary print formats.

• Six truck modes to store and recall weights for gross, tare, and net printing. The truck register contains fields for ID number, weight, and the transaction time and date. Weights can be stored permanently or erased at the end of the transaction.

• The setpoint engine supports 31 configurable setpoint kinds. Setpoints can be arranged in a sequential batch routine of up to 100 steps. If setpoints are configured as free running setpoints, they can be tied to program control. This allows for simultaneous batching operations to be written with the iRite-IDE language.

The 820i is NTEP-certified for Classes III and III L at 10,000 divisions. See Section 10.13 on page 103 for more information about additional certifications and approvals.

Option Cards

The CPU board provides one slot for installing other option cards. Available option cards include:

• Analog output card (dual or single) for 0–10 VDC

Adjust Screen Contrast

The 820i is available in universal (tilt-stand) and panel mount enclosures. Stainless steel enclosures are rated for NEMA 4X/IP66. This manual provides assembly drawings and replacement parts lists for the universal model; supplemental documentation provides information specific to the panel mount model (Section 1.4 on page 4).

1.1 Operating Modes

The 820i has two modes of operation:

Normal mode

Normal mode is the weighing mode of the indicator. The indicator displays gross, net, or tare weights as required, using the secondary display to indicate scale status and the type of weight value displayed. Once configuration is complete and a legal seal is affixed to the large fillister-head screw on the indicator enclosure, this is the only mode in which the 820i can operate.

Setup mode

Most of the procedures described in this manual require the indicator to be in setup mode, including configuration and calibration.

To enter setup mode, remove the large fillister head

from the enclosure. Insert a screwdriver or a

screw similar tool into the access hole and press the setup switch once. The indicator display changes to show scale configuration menus.

1.2 Indicator Operations

Basic 820i operations are summarized below:

Toggle Gross/Net Mode

Press the GROSS/NET key to switch the display mode from gross to net, or from net to gross. If a tare value has been entered or acquired, the net value is the gross weight minus the tare. If no tare has been entered or acquired, the display remains in gross mode.

Gross mode is indicated by the word OIML mode); net mode is indicated by the word Net.

To display audit trail information, press and hold the

Gross/Net mode key for three seconds. Weighing

functions continue while audit trail information is displayed. Press the Gross/Net or CLR key to exit the audit trail display.

This section describes procedures for connecting load cell, digital I/O, and serial communications cables to

820i indicator. Assembly drawings and

the replacement parts lists for the universal model are included for the service technician. See Section 10.11 on page 101 for dimension drawings.

• Use a wrist strap to ground yourself and protect onents from electrostatic discharge (ESD)

comp when working inside the indicator enclosure.

• This unit uses double pole/neutral fusing which

could c

reate an electric shock hazard. Procedures requiring work inside the indicator must be performed by qualified service personnel only.

• The supply cord serves as the power disconnect

820i. The power outlet supplying the

the

for indicator must be installed near the unit and be easily accessible.

2.1 Unpacking and Assembly

Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the 820i to ensure all components are included and undamaged. The shipping carton should contain the indicator, this manual, and a parts kit. If any parts were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately.

See Section 2.9 on page 11 for parts kit contents.

2.3.1 Cable Grounding

Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the cord grips should be grounded against the indicator enclosure. Do the following to ground shielded cables:

• Use the lockwashers, clamps, and kep nuts provided

in the parts kit to install grounding clamps on the enclosure studs adjacent to cord grips. Install grounding clamps only for cord grips that will be used; do not tighten nuts.

• Route cables through cord grips and grounding clamps to determine

cable lengths required to reach cable connectors. Mark cables to remove insulation and shield as described below:

• For cables with foil shielding, strip insulation

and foil

from the cable half an inch (13 mm) past the grounding clamp (see Figure 2-1). Fold the foil shield back on the

cable where the cable passes through the clamp. Ensure silver (conductive) side of foil is turned outward for contact with the grounding clamp.

• For cables with braided shielding, strip cable insulation

and braided shield from a point just past the grounding clamp. Strip another half inch (15 mm) of insulation only to expose the braid where the cable passes through the clamp (see Figure 2-1).

2.2 Enclosure Disassembly

The indicator enclosure must be opened to install option cards and to connect cables for installed option cards.

The 820i has no on/off switch. Before

opening the unit, ensure the power cord is

sconnected from the power outlet.

Ensure power to the indicator is disconnected, then place the indicator face-down on an antistatic work mat. Remove the screws that hold the backplate to the enclosure body, then lift the backplate away from the enclosure and set it aside.

2.3 Cable Connections

The universal model of the 820i provides six cord grips for cabling into the indicator: one for the power cord, five to accommodate other cabling. Install plugs in all unused cord grips to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure.

configuration parameters for the indicator. When

Revolution configuration is complete, configuration

data is downloaded to the indicator.

Revolution supports both uploading and downloading

of indicator configuration data. This capability allows configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator, edited, then downloaded to another indicator with an identical hardware configuration.

To use

Revolution, do the following:

1. Install

Revolution on an IBM-compatible

personal computer. See Section 5.0 on page 51 for detailed hardware and software requirements.

2. With both indicator and PC powered off, connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins

the indicator serial port or to the optional

on USB communications card.

using

3.1.2 Serial Command Configuration

The serial command set can be used to configure the

820i indicator using either a personal computer,

terminal, or remote keyboard. Like

Revolution, serial

command configuration sends commands to the indicator serial port; unlike

Revolution, ser ial

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

Configuration 15

Page 20

Serial commands duplicate the functions available using the indicator front panel and provide some 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 sett i ngs. See Section 9.0 on page 79 f or more information about using the serial command set.

3.1.3 Front Panel Configuration

Use the CONFIG submenu under the SCALES menu to configure A/D scales. For example, in an indicator with a single-channel A/D card installed in Slot 1, the Scale Configuration display will show the A/D listed

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

The SPLIT parameter is in the SCALES menu, see Figure 3-4, and Table 3-2. After setting the SPLIT parameter, t he

Format menu

selection will change as shown in Figure 3-6, and Table 3-4.

If using streaming with multi-range or multi-interval,

stream must be set to Custom in

the

Revolution. 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 30. They can be set using

Revolution or through the front

panel.

In multi-range, each range has its own capacity and display

division, extending from zero. 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.

3.1.4 Multi-Range and Multi-Interval Scales

The 820i 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 intervals (graduations). The scale interval changes as the applied weight increases but does not reset to lower range intervals until the scale returns to zero.

Multi-interval scales divide the scale into two or three partial

weighing ranges, each with different scale intervals. The scale interval changes with both increasing and decreasing loads applied.

To configure a multi-range or multi-interval scale, use

SPLIT parameter to select 2RNG or 3RNG (for

the 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.

16 820i Installation Manual

3.1.5 Total Scale Configuration

The output of A/D scales, serial scales, or iQUBE systems can be configured to function as a total scale. Once configured and calibrated, the total scale can be used as a source for other system functions, including streaming, setpoints, print formatting, and analog output.

To set up a total scale from the indicator front panel, use the scale configuration display (see Figure 3-2) to select the A/D scales or as a total scale. (Use the available A/D scales or

iQUBE systems to configure

Change Type softkey to show

iQUBE systems; use the right

navigation key to select the total scale sources.) In

Revolution, assign the total scale to an unused

position then select source scales from the existing A/D scales or

iQUBE systems.

Page 21

The FORMAT configuration of the total scale (see

Note

Figure 3-5 on page 23) should match that of the source scales. However, the value specified for the total scale GRADS parameter should be specified as the sum of the GRADS values for the source scales. For example: if SCALE 1 is set to GRADS=10000, SCALE 2 to GRADS=5000, SCALE 3 (the total scale) should be set to 15000 grads.

The total scale will show an overrange indication if the maximum capacity of any source scale is exceeded, and show dashes if any source scale reads a negative value. Source scales will respond to Tare and Zero operations performed on the total scale.

Total scale function is not supported for multi-range or multi-interval scales at this time.

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

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

4.0 Calibration

The 820i can be calibrated using the front panel, serial commands, or Revolution®. Each method consists of the following steps:

• Zero calibration

• Entering 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. See the Installation Manual, PN 77224, for information about configuring iQUBE-attached scales.

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 9.0 on page 79 for more information about using serial commands.

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

1. Place the indicator in setup mode (display

CONFIG) and remove all weight from the

reads 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#n serial command (where calibrate zero.

3. Place test weights on the scale and use the S value in the following format:

SC.WVAL#n=vvvvv<CR>

4. Send the SC.WSPAN#n serial command to calibrate span.

n is the n umber of t he scale ) to

C.WVAL command to enter the test weight

6.3.3 Using Serial Commands

With a personal computer, terminal, or remote keyboard attached to one of the 820i serial ports, you can use the serial command set described in Table 6-1 on page 54 to customize the print format strings.

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

enter key. For

enter. The indicator

responds by sending the current configuration for the gross format:

GFMT.FMT=<G> GROSS<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>

7.0 Truck Modes

The truck in/out modes are used to handle multiple truck ID numbers and weights. Truck IDs can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters in length.

Six truck modes combine stored ID, keyed tare, and value swapping features in various ways:

MODE1 NO YES YES

MODE2 NO NO YES

MODE3 YES YES YES

MODE4 YES NO YES

MODE5 YES YES NO

MODE6 YES NO NO

Swapping

Table 7-1. Truck Mode Features

Stored IDs 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

TARE key.

Keyed 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

Note

weight to be read from the scale. If so, don’t use the keyed tares feature.

Value swapping ensures that the lowest 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.

Next, go configure the

right to the SOFTKEYS submenu and

8.0 Setpoints

The 820i indicator provides 100 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.

Note

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

8.1 Batch and Continuous Setpoints

820i 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 820i can use setpoints to control up to 100

separate batch processing steps.

A digital output associated with a batch setpoint is active until the setpoint condition is met, then latched for the remainder of the batch sequence.

To use batch setpoints, you must activate the BATCHNG 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,

For setpoint kinds that can be used as either continuous 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

Note

setpoints should be kept separate from the batch sequence. This is especially true when using CONCUR CONCUR and TIMER setpoints should not be included in the referenced START and END setpoint sequence.

Batch Start softkey, or the StartBatch function in an iRite-IDE program.

or TIMER setpoints to perform actions or functions based on the batch sequence.

Kind Description Batch Continuous

OFF Setpoint turned off/ignored.

GROSS Gross setpoint. Performs functions based on the gross weight. The target

weight entered is considered a positive gross weight.

NET Net setpoint. Performs functions based on the net weight. The target weight

entered is considered a positive net weight value.

–GROSS Negative gross weight. Performs functions based on the gross weight. The

target weight entered is considered a negative gross weight.

–NET Negative net weight. Performs functions based on the net weight. The target

weight entered is considered a negative net weight value.

ACCUM Accumulate setpoint. Compares the value of the setpoint to the source scale

accumulator. The accumulator setpoint is satisfied when the value of the source scale accumulator meets the value and conditions of the accumulator setpoint.

ROC Rate-of-change setpoint. Performs functions based on the rate-of-change

(ROC) value.

+REL Positive relative setpoint. Performs functions based on a specified value above

a referenced setpoint, using the same weight mode as the referenced setpoint.

Table 8-1. Setpoint Kinds

X X

Setpoints 61

Page 66

Kind Description Batch Continuous

–REL Negative relative setpoint. Performs functions based on a specified value below

a referenced setpoint, using the same weight mode as the referenced setpoint.

%REL Percent relative setpoint. Performs functions based on a specified percentage

of the target value of a referenced setpoint, using the same weight mode as the referenced setpoint. The actual target value of the %REL setpoint is calculated as a percentage of the target value of the referenced setpoint.

RESREL Relative to a result setpoint. Performs functions based on a specified

percentage of the captured value of a referenced setpoint, using the same weight mode as the referenced setpoint. The actual target value of the RESREL setpoint is calculated as a percentage of the captured value of the referenced setpoint, rather than the target value.

PAUSE Pauses the batch sequence indefinitely. A BATSTRT signal must be initiated to

continue the batch process.

DELAY Delays the batch sequence for a specified time. The length of the delay (in

tenths of a second) is specified on the VALUE parameter.

WAITSS Wait for standstill. Suspends the batch sequence until the scale is at standstill. X

COUNTER Specifies the number of consecutive batch sequences to perform. Counter

setpoints should be placed at the beginning of a batch routine.

AUTOJOG Automatically checks the previous weight-based setpoint to verify the setpoint

weight value is satisfied in a standstill condition. If the previous setpoint is not satisfied when at standstill, the AUTOJOG setpoint activates the digital output of the previous weight-based setpoint for a period of time, specified on the VALUE parameter. The autojog process repeats until the previous weight-based setpoint is satisfied when the scale is at standstill.

X X

: The AUTOJOG digital output is typically used to signify that an

Note

autojog operation is being performed. AUTOJOG should not be assigned to the same digital output as the related weight-based

setpoint.

COZ Center of zero. Monitors for a gross zero condition. The digital output

associated with this setpoint kind is activated when the referenced scale is a center of zero. No value is required for this setpoint.

INMOTON In motion. Monitors for an in-motion condition. The digital output associated

with this setpoint is activated when the scale is not at standstill. No value is required for this setpoint.

INRANGE In range. Monitors for an in-range condition. The digital output associated with

this setpoint is activated when the scale is within capacity range. No value is required for this setpoint.

BATCHPR Batch processing signal. The digital output associated with this setpoint is

activated whenever a batch sequence is in progress. No value is required for this setpoint.

TIMER Tracks the progress of a batch sequence based on a timer.

The timer value, specified in tenths of a second on the VALUE parameter, 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.

Table 8-1. Setpoint Kinds (Continued)

62 820i Installation Manual

Page 67

Kind Description Batch Continuous

CONCUR Allows a digital output to remain active over a specified portion of the batch

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.

DIGIN Digital input setpoint. Requires a specific group of digital inputs to be in low (0

X X VDC) state to satisfy the setpoint. The digital output associated with this setpoint is held in a low (0 VDC) state until the inputs selected for the digital input mask are all in a low state.

AVG Average setpoint. Performs functions based on the calculated average weight

X over a specified number of A/D samples.

This setpoint is based on the raw A/D weight value, rather than the

Note

rounded value shown on the indicator display. For example, if the display shows 50.0 but the actual raw A/D value is 49.99, the setpoint will not be satisfied.

TOD Time of day setpoint. Performs functions when the internal clock time of the

X X indicator matches the specified setpoint time.

DELTA Delta weight setpoint. Satisfied when the change in weight on the scale is equal

X to or exceeds the absolute value specified for the setpoint.

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.

PLSCNT Pulse counter setpoint. Performs functions based on pulse counts received by

X X a pulse input card.

PLSRAT Pulse rate setpoint. Performs functions based on the pulse rate received by a

pulse input card.

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

X an endpoint for true/false branching batch routines.

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

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

DINCNT Digital input count setpoint. Counts pulses received at the specified digital

X input.

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.

In a batch sequence with TRIP=HIGHER, the associated digital output is active until the setpoint value is reached or exceeded; with TRIP=LOWER, the output is active until the weight goes below the setpoint value.

For setpoints with TRIP=INBAND or OUTBAND, specifies a weight equal to half the band width. The band established around the setpoint value is VALUE ±BANDVAL.

Specifies a band around the setpoint value that must be exceeded before the 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.

Specifies the preact value for setpoints with PREACT set to ON, LEARN, or FLOW. 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.

Tolerance count. For setpoints with TRIP set to HIGHER or LOWER, specifies the number of consecutive batch cycles in which the tolerance band (TOLBAND parameter) must be exceeded before the batch process is paused. When the specified value is met, the batch is paused and an error message is displayed. The batch must be restarted or reset to clear the error message. The special value of zero means that the batch is never paused for an out-of-tolerance condition.

For relative setpoints, specifies the number of the relative setpoint. The target weight for this setpoint is determined as follows:

• For +REL setpoints, the value of the relative setpoint plus the value (VALUE parameter) of the +REL setpoint

• For –REL setpoints, the value of the relative setpoint minus the value of the –REL setpoint

• For %REL setpoints, the percentage (specified on the VALUE parameter of the %REL setpoint) of the target value of the relative setpoint

9.0 Serial Commands

The 820i 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.

9.1 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 responds

with the message verifies that the command was received and has been executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot be executed, the indicator responds with

The following sections list the commands and command syntax used for each of these groups.

All load cell calibration settings are lost when the RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.

9.1.4 Parameter Setting Commands

Parameter setting commands allow you to display or change the current value for a particular configuration parameter (Tables 9-3 through 9-11).

Current configuration parameter 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; setpoint parameters listed in Table 9-6 on page 84 can be changed when in normal weighing mode.

Use the following command syntax when changing parameter values:

command=value<ENTER>, where value

is either a number or a parameter value. Use no spaces before or after the equal (=) sign. If you type an incorrect command, the display reads

??.

For example, to set the motion band parameter on Scale #1 to 5 divisions, type the following:

SC.MOTBAND#1=5<ENTER>

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

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

mark: The indicator must be in setup mode to use this function.

Some parameters are valid only if other parameters or parameter values are specified.

10.1.1 Option Card Diagnostic Errors

Note

Option cards are detected by the 820i at power-up. If the current indicator configuration requires an option card but that card is not detected at power-up, an error similar to the following is displayed:

HARDWARE CRITICAL TO PROPER OPERATION

WITH CURRENT CONFIGURATION

CANNOT BE FOUND

INSTALL HARDWARE OR RECONFIGURE

To recover from this error you can do the following:

• If the option is required, ensure that the card is

properly seated in its slot and cycle the power. If the card is still not recognized, replace the card.

• Enter setup mode and reconfigure to eliminate the

requirement for the option.

• Go to the VERSION menu and use the

softkey (or RESETCONFIGURATION

Config

Reset

command) to perform a configuration reset. Configuration reset returns all configuration values to their factory defaults.

See Section 10.1.2 below, for information about using the HARDWARE serial command to verify that installed cards are recognized.

10.1.2 Using the HARDWARE Command

The HARDWARE serial command can be issued to verify that all installed cards are recognized by the system. The HARDWARE command returns a string of card type codes. The first digit represents the single- or dual-A/D of the

820i; the second digit

represents the card, if any, installed in the expansion slot:

HARDWARE=3,4

Table 10-2 lists the card codes returned by the HARDWARE command.

Code Card Type

0 No card installed 1 Dual-Channel Serial Expansion Card 2 Dual-Channel A/D Card 3 Single-Channel A/D Card 4 Analog Output Card 5 24-Channel Digital I/O Expansion Card 6Pulse Input Card 7 1 MB Memory Expansion Card

9 DeviceNet Card 10 Profibus Card 11 EtherNet/IP Card 12 Remote I/O Card 14 Custom Card 15 Analog Input Card

Code 11 is returned only by the EtherNet/IP card. The standard 10M/100Mbps Ethernet card does not return a card type code. The standard Ethernet card returns a value of 0 on the HARDWARE command.

Table 10-2. HARDWARE Command Option Card Codes

If an installed card is not recognized (HARDWARE command returns a code of

0 for that slot), ensure that

the card is seated properly. Reinstall the card, if necessary, then cycle the indicator power to read the configuration again.

10.1.3 User Program Diagnostic Errors

Faulty user programs can cause critical errors that are detected by the 820i at power-up. The following error message is caused by a user program attempting to divide by zero:

A CRITICAL USER PROGRAM ERROR

HAS BEEN DETECTED

DIVIDE BY ZERO

SYSTEM RESET IS REQUIRED

To recover from this error you can do the following:

• Cycle the indicator power to reset the user program.

• Correct the

iRite-IDE program to eliminate the

divide by zero operation. Recompile the program, then download the corrected program to the indicator.

If technical assistance is required, contact RLWS technical support.

10.1.4 Using the XE Serial Command

The XE serial command can be used to remotely query the 820i for the error conditions shown on the front panel. The XE command returns a decimal number representing any existing error conditions. For multi-scale applications, the value returned by the XE command represents all error conditions, if any, present on all configured scales.

If more than one error condition exists, the number returned is the sum of the values representing the error conditions

(see Table 10-3 on page 91). For example, if both a tare error (TAREERR, 65536) and a truck database checksum error (ETRUCKERR, 8192) have occurred, the XE command returns the value 73728, representing the sum of those two error conditions.

10.3 Serial Scale Interface

Serial ports 3, 4 and any expansion ports can be configured for serial scale input. The serial scale function allows other scale indicators to send gross, net, or tare weight data to the has been configured to accept scale data, the data format can be customized to match the data stream sent by that indicator.

To configure a serial scale, do the following:

1. Under the SERIAL menu, set the INPUT parameter

for the selected port to SCALE (legal-for-trade serial scale) or INDUST (industrial serial scale).

2. Return to the SCALES menu. Under CONFIG, drop down and select the serial port. If the serial

is not shown, press the Change Type

scale softkey to select available serial scales, then use the navigational keys to select the serial scale. Press Add to move the scale to the righthand column, the press Done.

3. Under the SERIAL menu, return to the selected

and set the format under the SFMT

port parameter to match the format sent by the serial scale.

The default serial scale format is:

<2><P><W7.><U><M><S><CR><LF>

where:

<2> STX character <P> Polarity <W7.> Seven characters of net data with decimal point <M> Mode <U> Units <S> Status <CR> Carriage return <LF> Line feed

To configure for local/remote operation, first set up the

local scale (including softkey assignments, truck mode, and database information, as required). Use the SERIAL menu, serial commands, or

require the <M>, <U>, and <S> identifiers.

However, the units and number of decimal places must be specified. Units can be selected from the FORMAT menu; decimal places should be indicated on the w-spec identifier. For example, a seven-digit weight requiring two decimal places should be specified as

<W7.2> rather than <W7.>.

See Section 10.5 for more information about stream formatting and format identifiers.

10.4 Local/Remote Operation

For truck scale and similar applications, local/remote support provides function equivalent to that of a legal-for-trade remote display with keypad. Scale data from the local indicator is also displayed at the remote unit, and keypad input from the remote allows transactions to be initiated from either the local or remote unit.

10.5 Custom Stream Formatting

Each port can be independently configured to stream a default frame format or can be customized to stream a user-defined format. Custom formatting is very similar to the standard print formatting described in Section 6.0.

10.6 Data Formats

Continuous Output Serial Data Format

If continuous transmission is configured for a serial port (STREAM parameter set to LFT or INDUST on the SERIAL menu), the 820i sends data using the Consolidated Controls serial data format shown in Figure 10-1:

ASCII 02

decimal

Polarity: <space> = Positive <–> = Negative

Weight: 7 digits, right-justiﬁed, dummy zeroes, decimal point with no leading zeroes except for leading zero immediately preceding the decimal point. Leading zeroes transmitted as spaces.

L = pounds K = kilograms T = tons G = grains <space> = grams O = ounces

Figure 10-1. Continuous Output Serial Data Format

Demand Output Serial Data Format

When demand mode is configured for the serial port (STREAM parameter set to OFF), the 820i uses a data st ring formatted for a basic ticket printout. The particular ticket format printed depends on the indicator configuration.

You can customize the ticket to work with a wide variety

of printers, scoreboard displays, and other remote equipment. See Section 6.0 on page 54 for more information on custom print formats.

RS-485 Data Formats

Two-wire RS-485 communications is available on port 4 of the CPU board; four-wire RS-485 communications is supported on the “A” ports of any installed serial expansion cards.

The

820i has a built-in RS-485 software protocol

which is enabled when you assign a non-zero address to the indicator. Valid RS-485 addresses must be in the range 1–255; the address is specified on the ADDRESS parameter on the SERIAL menu.

All remote commands are initiated using the data format shown in Figure 10-2:

ASCII 02

Figure 10-3. RS-485 Respond Data Format

Example: To send the KPRINT command from an

ASCII terminal to an indicator at address 65 (decimal) on the RS-485 network, use the format shown in Figure 10-2.

• The keyboard equivalent for the start-of-text (

STX) character is CONTROL-B.

• The indicator address (65) is represented by an upper case “A”.

• The carriage return (CR) character is generated by pressing the

ENTER key.

Therefore, to send the KPRINT command to the indicator

at address 65, enter the following at the

terminal: CONTROL-B, A, K, P, R, I, N, T, ENTER.

The indicator responds with the format shown in Figure 10-3:

<STX> A SCALE #1 <EOL>

GROSS 1699 LB<EOL> 08/20/1998 10:05 AM<EOL>

If continuous transmission is configured for the serial port, the 820i sends data using the data format shown in Figure 10-4:
