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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

To shift between primary, secondary, and tertiary units, press the UNITS key.

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.
