1.0Introduction
This manual is intended for use by service technicians responsible for installing and servicing the 882D Belt Scale Integrator.
Manuals are available from Rice Lake Weighing Systems at
www.ricelake.com/manuals
Warranty information is available at www.ricelake.com/warranties
1.1Overview
A belt conveyor scale continuously measures bulk material as it is moved along a conveyor. The system requires two general
parameters to operate:
• Weight of the material being moved along the conveyor belt
• Speed at which the material is moved along the conveyor belt
The weight of the material on the belt is determined by weighing a section of the conveyor belt loaded with material and
subtracting the average weight of the unloaded belt. The speed at which the material is moving is determined by measuring the
speed of an idler or wheel in contact with the conveyor belt. The weight and speed are combined by the 882D to give a running
total and a rate of flow for the material. Optimum operation of the scale system requires the components to be installed
correctly, periodically calibrated and properly maintained.

2.4.5Speed Sensor
A belt conveyor scale must be equipped with an encoder (speed sensor) that accurately senses the belt speed and travel
distance when the belt is empty or loaded. The J13 connector provides the pulse input from the speed sensor to the 882D. To
attach the cable from the encoder, route the cable to the J13 connector (Figure 2-9 on page 18). The connector for the cable is
included in the parts kit. Wire the cable to connector as shown in Figure 2-4. Pins 4, 5 and 6 are the top level of the connector
and make up the primary pulse input channel (Input 1). Pins 1, 2 and 3 are the bottom level of the connector and make up the
secondary pulse input channel (Input 2).

The Digital I/O Port, J2 connector (Figure 2-9 on page 18) is intended to be connected to both digital inputs and outputs.
Digital inputs can be set to provide many functions, including most keypad functions except MENU. Digital inputs are active low
(0 VDC) and inactive high (5 VDC). Use the Digital I/O menu to configure the digital inputs.
Digital outputs are used to control relays that drive other equipment. Outputs are designed to sink, rather than source, switching
current. Each output is an open collector circuit, capable of sinking 20 mA when active. Digital outputs are active when low or at
0 VDC, with reference to the 5 VDC supply.
Use the Digital I/O menu to set the function of the Digital I/O pins to OUTPUT and then use the Setpoints menu to configure the
digital outputs. Table 2-5 shows the pin assignments for the J2 connector.

NOTE: For RS-232, all four switches on SW3 (Figure 2-9 on page 18) must be in the OFF position.
For RS-485/RS-422, all four switches on SW3 must be in the ON position.
2.4.8USB Device Communications – Port 2 (USBCOM)
The USB Device Port, J4 micro USB connector (Figure 2-9 on page 18), is intended to be connected to a PC only. It appears as
a Virtual COM Port and is assigned a “COMx” designation. Applications communicate through the port like a standard RS-232
communications port.
A ferrite from the parts kit must be applied to the USB cable within 1'' of the cord grip.
The cable must be sent through the ferrite twice.
The driver must be installed on the PC before the USB Device Port can be used. With the PC and 882D powered on, connect a
USB cable from the PC to the micro USB connector (J4) on the 882D. The PC will recognize that a device has been connected,
and attempt to install the driver needed to make it work. The driver can also be downloaded from the Rice Lake website.
NOTE: If using Windows 7 or later and the PC is connected to the Internet, the operating system may be able to install the
drivers without any interaction.
When the individual drivers are installed, a new COM Port designation is assigned for each physical USB port the 882D is
connected to on the PC.
16Visit our website www.RiceLake.com
Page 17
Installation
For example, if the PC has two physical RS-232 COM Ports, they most likely are designated COM1 and COM2. When
connecting the 882D to a USB port on the PC, it is assigned the next available port designation, or in this case, COM3. When
plugging into the same physical USB port on the PC, the port designation is again COM3. If plugging into another physical USB
port on the PC, it is assigned the next available designation, in this case COM4.
After the drivers are installed, use Windows Device Manager to determine the COM Port designation that was assigned to the
®
USB port. Or open the application that is to be used with the 882D, such as Revolution
, to see which ports are available.
Configuration of the USB Device Port is done in the USBCOM sub-menu under PORTS in configuration mode.
The port can be configured as either a demand port for EDP commands and printing, or as a data streaming port. Other settings
include the termination character(s), echoes, responses, the end-of-line delay and whether or not the 882D displays a 'print'
message when a print format sends data out the port.
NOTE: If a computer application has an open communications connection through the USB Device Port and the physical
cable connection is interrupted, a soft reset must be performed on the 882D or the power must be cycled to the 882D; the
connection in the computer application must be disconnected and then reconnected before it will continue to communicate
with the 882D.
For the USB Device Port, it does not matter what the settings are for Baud, Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bits in the computer
software. The port communicates in the same way regardless of these settings.
This port is not a host port and is not intended to be connected to other devices such as keyboards, memory sticks or
printers.
2.5USB Host
The 882D will be capable of hosting a USB device through the J5, Type A USB connection, in a future release.
2.6Ethernet Communications
The 882D features Ethernet TCP/IP 10Base-T/100Base-TX communication using a standard RJ45 connector, J6 (Figure 2-9
on page 18). It can support two simultaneous connections, one as a server, the other as a client.
Through an Ethernet network, software applications can communicate with the 882D using the EDP command set (Section 7.0
on page 57), or data can be streamed continuously from the 882D, or printed on demand.
The Ethernet port supports both DHCP and manual configuration of settings such as the IP and netmask. In addition, the TCP
Port number, Primary and Secondary DNS, and the Default Gateway can be configured using the Ethernet sub-menu of the
Ports setup menu. For more information on configuring the Ethernet port see Section 4.6.3.2 on page 38.
Physical connection to the 882D Ethernet port can be made directly from a PC to the 882D (AdHoc Network), or through a
network router or switch. The port supports auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cable configuration, so either straight-through or crossover
cables can be used.
The RJ45 Ethernet jack on the 882D CPU board houses two LEDs to
indicate the status and speed of the connection.
Yellow LED (left) indicates the status of the connection:
• Off for no link
• On for a link
• Blinking if there is activity
Green LED (right) is:
• Off for a 10Base-T connection
• On for a 100Base-TX connection

IMPORTANT: The Ethernet port is not intended for use on Telecom Networks Circuits that are subject to lightning or power
faults. For information on using the Ethernet port see Section 9.1 on page 80.
The COMM 1 port supports RS-232 or two-wire RS-485/RS-422 communications; selectable with switch SW3. The port is
configured using the COM menu under Ports. See Section 4.6.3.1 on page 37.

• USB Host (J5)
• Ethernet TCP/IP (J6)
• Power Board (J7)
• OPT#1 (J8) and OPT#2 (J9)
• Pulse Input (J13)
2.8Audit Trail
The 882D supports a Type 3 Audit Trail. The Audit Trail records all of the changes to Legal for Trade parameters.
During installation, determine if access will be allowed to the configuration and calibration functions through the front panel. The
position of the 3-pin Audit Trail jumper (JP4) on the CPU board controls if access is allowed or not.
• If the jumper is set to ON, the Setup Menu will be visible, making calibration and configuration accessible through the
front keypad.
• If set to OFF, the Setup Menu will not be visible, making calibration and configuration accessible only by pressing the
setup switch.
The audit trail event logger operates in either position of the audit jumper.

The 882D supports a user password, a setup password, and a totalizer password. Passwords are numeric and will accept up to
six characters. A password can be enabled by setting a non-zero value. By default the passwords are disabled (value of zero).
• The user password protects access to certain areas of the top level menu - Test, Time & Date and Setpoints are
protected; Audit is not protected
• The setup password protects access to the setup menu; If the setup password is set with a non-zero value it must be
entered whether using the setup switch (audit jumper OFF) or the front panel (audit jumper ON) to enter configuration
• The totalizer password protects totalizers 1 & 2 from being cleared in weigh mode
4.6.2.3 Configuration Reset Password
The configuration reset password is 999999.
Entering the configuration reset password at a password prompt resets the 882D - all configuration is returned to defaults. If
either the user, setup or totalizer password has been forgotten, the configuration reset password can be entered to allow
access to the 882D. This does not clear the master totalizer.
The configuration reset password is also a valid password for a customer to configure. If the customer forgets this password
and calls Rice Lake (or looks it up in the manual) and is instructed to enter the configuration reset password, the configuration
reset password allows them access without performing a reset of configuration.

The 882D Belt Scale Integrator must calibrate inputs from the speed sensor and weigh frame for the system to work.
NOTE: The speed sensor calibration must be done prior to the weigh frame calibration.
5.1Speed Sensor Calibration
A belt conveyor scale must be equipped with a belt speed sensor that accurately senses the belt speed when the belt is empty
or loaded.
The purpose of the calibration is to determine a belt speed in either m/s or ft/s (depending on the units setting).
There are three types of speed sensor calibrations supported:
• Calculated – the belt speed is calculated from known parameters of the speed sensor.
• Revolutions – the belt speed is determined by measuring the number of complete revolutions.
• Distance – the belt speed is determined by measuring the speed sensor output over a set distance.
NOTE: Only one of these methods should be performed.
Figure 5-1. Speed Sensor Calibration Menu
5.1.1Calculated
This section details speed sensor calibration via the Calculated method. The belt speed is determined by the diameter of the
sensor (which is needed to find its circumference) and its pulses per revolution.
Calculation
The sensor circumference is divided by the seconds per revolution and then multiplied by 60 to calculate the belt’s speed in feet
per minute.
The circumference of the sensor is determined with the equation:
C = π x d
Example: Assume the speed sensor outputs 120 pulses per second, is rated at 250 pulses per revolution and has
a diameter of 6 inches.
Circumference:
C = 3.14159 x 0.5 feet
C = 1.570795 feet per revolution
Pulses per revolution / Pulses per second:
250 / 120 = 2.08333 seconds per revolution
Distance per minute:
1.570795 / 2.08333 = 0.753983 feet per second
0.753983 x 60 seconds per minute = 45.23897 feet per minute
d = diameter of pulley

5.1.2Revolutions
This section details speed sensor calibration via the number of belt revolutions. The distance per pulse is determined by how
many pulses are received for a number of belt revolutions. The Belt Length parameter must be configured before this
calibration is performed.
Calculation
The distance traveled during the calibration is divided by the calibration time in seconds and multiplied by 60 to calculate the
belt’s speed in feet per minute.
Example: Assume the belt is 100 feet and travels 3 revolutions in 240 seconds.
Total distance traveled:
100 x 3 = 300 feet traveled
Time conversion:
240 / 60 = 4 minutes
Distance per minute:
300 / 4 = 75 feet per minute
Revolutions Speed Calibration
1.Mark a reference point on the conveyor belt and conveyor frame. This allows for counting the number of revolutions the
belt travels during the speed calibration. The more revolutions in a test, the better the speed and distance accuracy.
NOTE: Time a belt revolution with a stop watch if the belt is not visible from the 882D. Use the reference marks on the belt
and conveyor frame to accurately time a complete revolution.
Be sure to configure the conveyor belt length before performing a Revolutions calibration.

5.1.3Distance
This section details speed sensor calibration via belt travel distance. The belt speed is determined by how many pulses are
received for a length of belt travel.
Calculation
The distance traveled during the calibration is divided by the calibration time in seconds and multiplied by 60 to calculate the
belt’s speed in feet per minute.
Example: Assume the belt travels a test distance of 100 feet in 40 seconds.
Distance per minute:
100 / 40 = 2.5 feet per second
2.5 x 60 seconds per minute = 150 feet per minute

13. Enter a new correction Factor value for the point with the keypad, if necessary. (Section 5.2.4.1 on page 54)
14. Press . Percent Capacity X displays again.
15.
Repeat steps 7 through 14 for additional points as needed or press to return to the weigh mode.
The Correction Factor adjusts the span value to correct for dynamic loading at the weigh frame. After completing a zero and
span calibration, material tests as a percentage of Max Capacity can be run to calculate correction factor values for each
linearization point. It is recommended that at least three material tests must be ran for each linearization point and the
calculated correction Factor values from these tests can then be averaged and used. This value can be adjusted manually
NOTE: When exiting to weigh mode, the calibration points are reorganized from lowest to highest Percent Capacity value.
The changeover point for each range is at the Percent Capacity for that point.
When a dynamic span calibration (one point) is performed, its Correction Factor applies to the entire range.
Max Capacity is the Rate, whenever referring to Percent Capacity this is the current Rate in respect to Max Capacity.
Calculation Example
For this example assume the belt scale has a total load cell build of 100 lb with a millivolt output of 3.0 mV and a max capacity
of 180 tn/hr. Assume the belt is operating at a fixed speed of 60 ft/min and is fed by a hopper system that produces material at
a rate up to 150 tn/hr. The current Correction Factor 1 value created by the previously run Span Calibration is 99.010871.
Table 5-1 shows example values for three linearization points. The following two equations correspond with the provided
values:
• Calculated Correction Factor = (Actual Weight ÷ Registered Weight) x Current Correction Factor
Actual Weight = Real weight of material on the scale in tons
Registered Weight = The measured weight of material the 882D totalizer shows in tons
• New Correction Factor = (Calculated Correction Factor of Test 1 + Test 2 + Test 3) ÷ 3
For this example Correction Factor 1 is applied from 0.0 - 40.0%, Correction Factor 2 is applied from 40.1 - 70.0% and
Correction Factor 3 is applied over 70.1%.

current settings, or check the box for Auto Detect Settings to have Revolution automatically detect the settings.
• USB – select RS-232 as the communication mode. The USB connection appears as a standard COM port to Revolution.
The comm port for the USB connection only displays in the list of available ports if it is physically connected and powered
on. The settings for baud rate, data and stop bits, and parity do not apply for a USB connection, and do not need to be
set to any specific value.
• TCP/IP – requires the IP address and TCP Port of the 882D. Enter the IP address and port during the communications
connection.
To open the communication connection, click on Connect under the Communications menu, or the Connect button in the
Toolbar. Revolution will attempt to establish communications with the 882D.
NOTE: If Revolution does not detect the 882D, check:
* Physical connections
* Communications settings in Revolution
* Current settings of the communications port in the 882D
* 882D communications port Trigger parameter is set to Command
* If Revolution displays a Version Error, the 882D version of firmware does not match the module used in Revolution.
A connection can be forced, but some parameters may not be enabled if they were not originally supported in that
module.
6.2Saving and Restoring Configuration Files
6.2.1Uploading Configuration to Revolution
The Get Configuration from Device function in the Revolution Communications menu allows the existing configuration of a
connected indicator to be saved to a file on the PC. Once saved, the configuration file provides a backup that can be quickly
restored to the indicator if needed. Alternatively, the file can be edited within Revolution and sent back to the indicator.
NOTE: Uploading and downloading processes can take several minutes to complete.
6.2.2Downloading to the 882D
The Send Configuration to Device function in the Revolution Communications menu allows a Revolution configuration file
(with or without scale calibration data) or ticket formats to be sent/downloaded to a connected indicator in Setup mode.
The Send Section to Device function in the Revolution Communications menu allows download of only the currently displayed
section, such as the communications port configuration.
Because less data is transferred using Send Section to Device, it is typically faster than a full configuration download, but
there is an increased possibility that the download may fail due to dependencies on other objects. If the download fails, try
performing a complete download using the Send Configuration to Device function.
The firmware for the 882D CPU can be updated using a PC with a RS-232 serial port and the Revolution software package.
NOTE: ALL configuration data, including calibration, will be lost if updating the CPU firmware. Use Revolution to upload
and save a copy of the current configuration before continuing (Section 6.2 on page 55). After updating, use Revolution to
restore the configuration and calibration.
Firmware updates can only be done through the RS-232 port. Updates through the USB and Ethernet ports are not
supported.
1.Download the new CPU firmware from www.ricelake.com.
CPU firmware file – 882D_CPU_Firmware_176769_Vx_xx_xx.S19
NOTE: File names are subject to change, but always contain some designation of the device they are intended for.
2.Connect the RS-232 Port (J3) from the CPU board (Section 2.4.7 on page 16) to a PC.
3.Remove the JP2 jumper and set aside until firmware update is completed successfully (Section 12.7 on page 98).
IMPORTANT: Replace the JP2 jumper when update is complete. Normal operation of the 882D will be affected if the JP2
jumper is not put back in place.
4.Press and hold the SETUP switch (Section 4.1 on page 27) while applying power to put the 882D into BOOT mode.
The display is black for several seconds and then
5.Release the setup switch.
6.Start the Revolution software on the PC.
7.Select NEW under the File menu.
8.Select the 882D module applicable for the current version of firmware.
9.Select Options/Communications/AutoDetect under the Tools menu.
10. Select the Auto Detect Settings check box and click OK.
11. Select Connect under the Communications menu. Revolution establishes communications with the 882D.
. . . . . . . displays.
NOTE: Check the connections if communication with the 882D fails.
12. Once connected, select Update CPU Firmware in the main indicator information screen.
13. Select the file for the Firmware being updated.
The program proceeds to load new firmware. This may take several minutes. While in progress do not leave the Revolution
window or interrupt power to the 882D. The progress of the download is indicated on the 882D Information screen.
When the download is complete, the program indicates if it was successful or not.
NOTE: If it was not successful, turn off the power to the 882D, return to Step 4, and try the entire procedure again.
If problems persist, contact Rice Lake Weighing Systems for technical assistance.

NOTE: The 882D only supports one scale. “n” at the end of a command represents the scale number.
7.6RESETCONFIGURATION Command
The RESETCONFIGURATION command can be used in configuration mode to restore all configuration parameters to their
default values.
This command is equivalent to using the Default function under the Version menu in the Configuration mode.
NOTE: Totalizer 1 and 2 are reset and load cell calibration settings are lost when RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.
Parameter setting commands allow to query or change the current value for a particular configuration parameter.
Current configuration parameter settings can be queried in either configuration mode or weigh mode using the following syntax:
command<CR>
Most parameter values can be changed in configuration mode only; some setpoint parameters listed in Table 7-18 on page 69
can be changed when in normal weigh mode.
Use the following command syntax when changing parameter values:
command=value<CR>
where value is the new value to assign to the parameter. Use no spaces before or after the equal (=) sign. If an incorrect
command is typed in, the response is ??.
For example, to set the dead band parameter to 3, type:
SC.DEADBAND#1=3.0<CR>
For parameters with selectable values, enter the command and equal sign followed by a question mark:
command=?<CR>
to see a list of those values. The 882D must be in configuration mode to use this function.

EDP Commands
7.7.13 Database Commands
The commands listed in Table 7-21 can be used to create and maintain databases in the 882D. Except for the DB.DELALL
command, all of the database commands require an extension to identify the database number.
CommandDescription
DB.ALIAS.n#xGet or set database name
DB.CLEAR.n#xClear database contents
DB.DATA.n#xGet or set database contents
DB.SCHEMA.n#xGet or set database structure
DB.DELALLDelete all databases and database contents
• n represents the database number, x is 0
• Each command must be terminated with a carriage return
character (<CR>, ASCII 13)
• The 882D only supports onboard databases - slot 0
• Onboard database number 1 is reserved for future use on the
882D; database numbers 2-9 are available
Table 7-21. Database Commands
DB.ALIAS
The DB.ALIAS command is used to get or set the alias used by iRite programs to reference the specified database. Each
database alias must be unique among all databases and adhere to the following rules: 8 character maximum; must begin with
an alpha character or an underscore; can only contain A–Z, a–z, 0–9, or an underscore (_).
Example. The following command assigns an alias of TRUCKS_2 to the second database in the onboard memory:
DB.ALIAS.2#0=TRUCKS_2<CR>
Sending the DB.ALIAS command alone, without assigned data, returns the current database alias.
DB.CLEAR
To clear the contents of a database, send the following command:
DB.CLEAR.n#x<CR>
Where:
is the database number within the memory
n
x is the slot number 0
The 882D responds with OK<CR> if the command is successful,??<CR> if unsuccessful.
The DB.DATA command can be used to send data to or retrieve data from the 882D.
Data can be sent to the 882D using the following command:
DB.DATA.n#x = data{ | }<CR>
Where:
is the database number within the memory
n
x is the slot number 0
data represents a single cell of a row of data
{ | } is an ASCII pipe character (decimal 124), used to delimit cell data. If the data being sent is not the last cell of the row, append the
pipe character to the data to indicate that more data is coming for that particular row. If the data being sent is the last cell of the row, do
not append the pipe character.
If the command is accepted, the 882D responds with OK<CR>; if not, it responds with ??<CR>.Example: The following commands place the data shown in Table 7-22 into the second database in the onboard memory:
Sending the DB.DATA command alone, without assigned data, returns the database contents:
DB.DATA.n#x<CR>
The 882D responds with the entire contents of the database. Returned data is cell-delimited with the pipe character (decimal
124) and row-delimited with carriage returns (decimal 13).
For example, the following command could be used to return the contents of database 2 in the onboard memory:
DB.DATA.2#0<CR>
If the database contents are the records shown in Table 7-22, the 882D responds with the following data, using pipe characters
and carriage returns to delimit the database cells and rows, respectively:
this|is|a|test<CR>aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd<CR>
NOTE: There is not an end of database notification at the end of the DB.DATA command
out to determine command completion. The time-out value will vary based on baud rate.
transmission. Use a receive time-
Determine the number of records currently in the database both prior to and after sending the DB.DATA command to verify that
the correct number of records are received. The number of records can be determined with the DB.SCHEMA command.
NOTE: The 62K of onboard (slot 0) memory can be allocated to up to eight auxiliary databases; however, the size of any one
database may limit the size and number of other databases.

EDP Commands
DB.SCHEMA
The DB.SCHEMA command is used to get or set the structure of a database.
DB.SCHEMA.n#x<CR>
The 882D responds to the command by returning the following:
<Max Records>,<Current Record Count>,
<Column Name>,<Data Type>,<Data Size>,...<CR>
The <Column Name>, <Data Type>, and <Data Size> elements repeat for each column in the database.
The <Column Name> follows the rules for alias names: 8 character maximum; must begin with an alpha character or an underscore;
can only contain A–Z, a–z, 0–9, or an underscore (_).
The <Data Type> is represented by a numeric field:
The <Data Size> value must match the data type. A range of data size values is allowed only for the string data types. The
maximum number of characters allowed for the string field are listed below.

Byte1
Short2
Long4
Single4

Print Formatting
8.0Print Formatting
The 882D provides four print formats. A press of the Print key in run mode prints Print Format 1. Entering a value and then
pressing print, prints the corresponding print format (2 + Print = Print Format 2).
Each print format can be customized to include up to 1000 characters. Use the 882D front panel (PFORMT menu), EDP
commands, or the Revolution configuration utility to customize the print formats.
NOTE: The 882D only prints when not totalizing.
Each ticket printed includes a hard coded header that contains the Previous Zero Error Percent, the Current Error Percent,
and the Current Master Total.
8.1Print Formatting Tokens
Table 8-1 lists tokens that can be used to format the 882D print formats. Tokens included in the format strings must be enclosed
in < > delimiters. Any characters outside of the delimiters are printed as text. Text characters can include any ASCII character
that can be printed by the output device. See Section 12.3 on page 92.

Print Formatting
8.3Customizing Print Formats
The following sections describe procedures for customizing print formats using the EDP commands, the front panel (PFORMT
menu), and the Revolution configuration utility.
8.3.1Using the EDP Commands
The EDP command set can be used to customize the print format strings when a personal computer, terminal or remote
keyboard are attached to the 882D.
To view the current setting of a format string, type the name of the print format, followed by .FMT, and press
example, to check the current configuration of the PFMT1 format, type PFMT1.FMT and press
ENTER. The 882D responds by
sending the current configuration for the print format:
To change the format, put the 882D into setup mode and use the format EDP 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 print format, send the following EDP command:
PFMT1.FMT=RICE LAKE WEIGHING SYSTEMS<NL>230 W COLEMAN ST<NL>RICE LAKE WI 54868<NL2><T1> TOTAL<NL>
A ticket printed using this format might look like the following:
RICE LAKE WEIGHING SYSTEMS
230 W COLEMAN ST
RICE LAKE WI 54868
ENTER. For
1345 T TOTAL
8.3.2Using the Front Panel
If there is no access to equipment for communication through the communication ports or when working at a site where such
equipment cannot be used, the Print Format menu (Section 4.6.4 on page 39) can be used to customize the print formats.
Using the Print Format menu, edit the print format strings by changing the decimal values of the ASCII characters in the format
string.
Edit the format using the Alphanumeric Entry Procedure. See Section 4.3 on page 28.
NOTE: Some special characters cannot be displayed on the 882D front panel and are displayed as blanks. See the ASCII
character chart on page 92. The 882D can send or receive any ASCII character; the character printed depends on the
particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.
The 882D supports two simultaneous TCP connections, one as a server and the other as a client. This section details the
functions of the Server and Client connections, including some examples on how they may be used. Refer to Section 4.6.3 on
page 37 for configuration.
Ethernet Server
The Server features a configurable TCP Port number. It also has settings for echo, response, End-of-Line delay, trigger function,
timeout and stream data format.
A typical application may connect a PC Application (a terminal program such as Telnet, or Revolution) to the 882D.
The 882D listens for a connection request from an external client device.
Ethernet Client
The Client features the ability to open a TCP connection to a configurable Remote Server IP and TCP Port.
If a connection has not been made and the 882D attempts to send data through the client connection, it attempts to establish a
connection to the remote server. It continues trying indefinitely until a connection is made.
Typical applications for the Client include connecting to:
• Ethernet printer or Remote Display
• Remote TCP to Serial device server
• PC application that is listening for the connection
The Client also has settings for echo, response, End-of- Line delay, trigger function, timeout, and stream data format.
Only a single connection each to the Server and Client is allowed at one time. If a connection is already established, other
connection attempts fail.
• The Server and Client ports are independent of each other and both can have a connection at the same time. This
means it can be streaming out one port, while using a PC to poll data from the other. Data can be streamed out both
ports if desired. IMPORTANT: For best results, set the End-of-Line Delay on both ports to at least 2.
• Establishing connections - a client must establish a connection to a server. Therefore, the 882D cannot connect to a
Remote Client, and a Remote Server cannot connect to the 882D.
• Both the Server and Client connections have a Timeout parameter, allowing the 882D to terminate either connection
after the set number of seconds has passed with no activity (0 = no disconnect).
• When connecting to a DHCP network, it may take several seconds before the 882D is assigned an IP address. When a
new IP address is assigned through DHCP, it is stored in the 882D configuration and remains the IP address until
reconfigured manually; the indicator settings are reset to default; or a new address is assigned by DHCP.

7.Open the PC application.
8.Enter the indicator’s IP address and Server TCP Port number (192.168.0.110 and 10001 in this example) to establish
the connection. The application now can communicate with the 882D using any of its EDP commands.
9.1.2PC Connection to the 882D Ethernet Server Through a Network Switch or Router
NOTE: In some cases, devices cannot be connected to an existing network without the network administrator’s approval.
Ensure there is permission to connect to the network and seek help from the network administrator as needed.
1.Ensure the PC is connected to the network, and either
assigned an IP address using DHCP, or have a static
address.
• If not, use the computer’s network configuration tools to
connect to the network.
• If it is not a DHCP network, make note of the PC’s IP
Address and Netmask.
2.Enter the configuration mode using the setup switch on the
bottom of the unit (Figure 4-1 on page 27).
3.Navigate to the Ethernet sub-menu under the Ports menu
(Section 4.6.3 on page 37).
4.Manually configure the 882D with a static IP address
(recommended) or obtain its IP address using a DHCP
(if supported on the network). Rice Lake Weighing Systems
does not recommended using a DHCP because the scale IP address can change and communication will be lost.
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocal (DHCP): Set the DHCP Setting to ON. Set the Ethernet Server Port to the
desired Port number (default is 10001). The IP, Netmask, Primary and Secondary DNS, and Default Gateway will
be configured automatically when the 882D is connected to the DHCP-enabled network.
- Manual (static) IP Address: Set DHCP to OFF. Configure the IP Address and Netmask. Also set the Ethernet
Server Port number, if needed (default is 10001). Set the Primary and Secondary DNS, and Default Gateway, if
needed.
5.Connect the Ethernet connector on the 882D to an available connector on the network using a straight-through or
crossover cable (the port is auto-sensing, so either will work).
6.If connected to a DHCP-enabled network and DHCP is enabled, go back into the configuration mode and navigate to
the IP setting to get the IP address the network assigned to the 882D. Make note of the current IP address, being
careful not to change any of the numbers. Return to weigh mode.
7.Open the PC application to be used. To establish the connection, enter the indicator’s IP address and Server TCP Port
number (192.168.0.110 - or the DHCP-assigned IP address - and 10001 in this example). The application will now be
able to communicate to the 882D using any of its EDP commands.
9.1.3Connection to a Remote Server - Demand Print to an Ethernet Printer
1.Connect the 882D and printer directly to each other (each
with a Static IP on the same Netmask) or through a
network.
2.Configure the Client Remote Server IP and port to the IP
address and TCP port of the printer.
3.Configure the port destination of the Print Format(s) being
used to Ethernet Client (ETH-C).
4.Set the Ethernet Client Trigger to Command (COMAND)
mode.
5.The Client attempts to connect to the printer if the client
has not been connected and a demand print is called for.
This may take several seconds. The print data will be
sent to the printer once the connection is made.
6.The connection remains intact unless the 882D or the printer terminates the connection.
The 882D has a timeout setting for the Client connection.
• When set to 0, the connection is not terminated by the 882D.
• When set to a value other than zero, the connection is terminated after inactivity for the specified period of time, in
seconds.
The timeout feature is useful when several indicators want to print to the same printer.
Figure 9-3. Connection to Remote Host
9.1.4Connecting to a Remote Server - Stream weight data to an Ethernet Remote Display
1.Connect the 882D and Remote Display directly to each
other (each with a Static IP on the same Netmask) or
through a network.
2.Configure the Client Remote Server IP and port to the IP
address and TCP port of the remote display.
3.Configure the trigger setting for the Client to either Stream
Industrial (STRIND), or Stream Legal-for-Trade (STRLFT).
4.Rice Lake Weighing Systems recommends that the
Client’s End-of-Line Delay be set to 1 (10 frames per
second) or 2 (5 frames per second) or higher to
prevent data overrun on the receiving device (the 882D
streams data at up to 50 frames per second). This is also
a good way to help reduce network traffic if speed is not a
concern. If data at the remote display appears to lag, or get behind the data on the indicator, the End-of-Line Delay
may need to be increased even more.
5.The 882D starts to stream data to the Ethernet Client port shortly after returning to the weigh mode. The 882D then
attempts to make the connection and data is sent to the Remote Host once connected. This may take several
seconds.

Using Revolution with Ethernet
1.Use one of the methods shown in Section 6.1 on page 55 to connect the 882D to the PC with Revolution installed.
2.In Revolution, after opening the 882D module, select Tools, then Options.
3.Set the default communications to TCP/IP and click OK.
4.Under the Communications menu, select Connect.
5.Revolution requests the IP address and port number. Enter them and click OK.
6.Revolution attempts to establish communications with the indicator. If the connection is successful, Revolution is ready
for use to upload and download configuration settings.
NOTE: When using Revolution with Ethernet, the Timeout setting for the 882D Ethernet Server must be set to 0 to prevent
the 882D from terminating the connection.
Figure 9-5. Stream or Demand Data to a Remote Ethernet

If the connection was unsuccessful, re-check all network settings on the computer and in the 882D. Attempt to ping the IP
address of the 882D to verify the computer and 882D are both able to communicate on the network.
The 882D provides 20 configurable setpoints for control of both 882D 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 and total), to change the state of a digital output to
control external equipment functions, or to make conditional decisions.
NOTE: See Section 4.6.5 on page 40 for setpoint menu layout.
10.1Batch and Continuous Setpoints
882D setpoints can be either continuous or batch setpoints.
Continuous setpoints are free-running; the 882D 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 882D can use setpoints to control up to 20 separate
batch processing steps.
• A digital output associated with a batch setpoint is active until the setpoint condition is met, then latched in an inactive
state for the remainder of the batch sequence.
• To use batch setpoints, the Batching parameter in the Setpoints menu must be set to MANUAL. Batch sequences
require a Batch Start signal each time a batch is run. The BATSTR signal can be initiated by a digital input, serial
command, or the StartBatch function in an iRite program.
• For setpoint kinds that can be used as either continuous or batch setpoints, the Batch Sequence parameter must also be
set ON. (Setpoint kinds that can only be used as batch setpoints do not require the Batch Sequence parameter.) If
setpoint is defined but Batch Sequence parameter is OFF, the setpoint operates as a continuous setpoint, even during
batch sequences.

10.2Batch Operations
Batches are controlled by digital inputs, EDP commands, the F1 (Start) and F2 (Stop) front panel switches, or iRite programs.
For iRite control, please see the iRite programming manual (PN 67888).
Batch Run (BATRUN digital input) – If a BATRUN digital input is configured, it must be active (low) for a batch to be started and
for it to continue to run. If a batch is running and the input becomes inactive (high), it stops the batch at the current batch
setpoint and turn off all associated digital outputs.
Batch Start (BATSTR digital input, BATSTART EDP command, or F1 (Start) key) – If the BATRUN digital input is active (low), or
is not assigned, batch start will start a batch, resume a paused batch or resume a stopped batch. If the BATRUN digital input is
inactive (high), batch start resets the current batch.
Batch Pause (BATPAS digital input or BATPAUSE EDP command) – The BATPAS digital input pauses an active batch, turning off
all associated digital outputs, while the input is active (low). As soon as the BATPAS digital input is made inactive (high), the
batch resumes. BATPAUSE EDP command works the same as the BATPAS digital input, except the batch does not resume
until a batch start signal is received.
Batch Stop (BATSTP digital input, BATSTOP EDP command, or F2 (Stop) key) – Stops an active batch at the current setpoint
and turns off all associated digital outputs.
Batch Reset (BATRST digital input or BATRESET EDP command) – Stops and resets an active batch to the beginning of the
process.
WARNING: Software-based interrupts must always be supplemented by emergency stop switches and other safety devices
necessary for the application to prevent personal injury and equipment damage.
Batching Switch
The batching switch option, PN 19369, comes as a complete unit in an FRP enclosure, with legend plate, locking stop switch
(mushroom button) and a run/start/abort 3-way switch.
Both switches are wired into the digital I/O terminal strip of the 882D as shown in Figure 10-1. Each switch uses a separate
digital input. Digital input #1 must be set to BATSTR and #2 must be set to BATRUN.
Ensure cables and switches are connected to the 882D and then use the setup switch to place the 882D in configuration mode.
Use the Digital I/O menu (Section 4.6.6 on page 42) to configure digital input and output functions.
ABORT/RUN/START SWITCH
EMERGENCY START/STOP SWITCH
Figure 10-1. Batching Switch and Wiring Diagram Example
Exit configuration mode when configuration is complete. Initialize the batch by turning the 3-way switch to ABORT, then unlock
the STOP button (the STOP button must be in the OUT position to allow the batch process to run). The batching switch is now
ready to use.
WARNING: Batching proceeds as if BATRUN were always on, if no digital input is assigned to BATRUN: the batch starts
when the 3-way switch is turned to RUN, but the STOP mushroom button will not function.
To begin a batch process, turn the 3-way switch to START momentarily. The process halts and the button locks in the IN
position if the STOP button is pushed during the batch process.
The START switch is ignored while the STOP button is locked in the IN position. The STOP button must be turned
counterclockwise to unlock it, then released to the OUT position to enable the 3-way switch.
To restart an interrupted batch from the step where it left off:
1.Unlock STOP button (OUT position).
2.Turn 3-way switch to START.
To restart an interrupted batch from the first batch step:
1.Turn 3-way switch to ABORT.
2.Unlock STOP button (OUT position).
3.Turn 3-way switch to START.
NOTE: Use this procedure (or the BATRESET serial command) to initialize the new batch routine following any change to
the setpoint configuration.
10.3Batching Example
The Batching parameter within the Setpoints menu must be set to MANUAL.
NOTE: Digital I/O, Slot 0, Bit 1 = BATSTR
Digital I/O, Slot 0, Bit 2 = OUTPUT
The following example is used to dispense material into a processing zone to a quantity of 1000 tons.
Setpoint 1 ensures that the belt is receiving material greater than 100 tn/h.
Kind = RATE
Value = 100
Trip = HIGHER
Batch Sequence = ON
Setpoint 2 ensures that the belt is not overloaded with material and receiving less than 200 tn/h.
Kind = RATE
Value = 200
Trip = LOWER
Batch Sequence = ON
Setpoint 3 tracks the total weight moving across the belt. Once Totalizer 1 equals 1000 tons, the feeder suppling material to the
belt is stopped.
Kind = TOTAL
Value = 1000
Source = TOTALIZER 1
Trip = HIGHER
Batch Sequence = ON
Slot = SLOT0

Maintenance
11.0Maintenance
The maintenance information in this manual is designed to cover aspects of maintaining and troubleshooting the 882D. Contact
Rice Lake Weighing Systems if a problem requires technical assistance.
NOTE: Have the scale model number and serial number available when calling for assistance.
11.1Maintenance Checkpoints
The scale must be checked frequently to determine when a calibration is required. It is recommended a zero calibration be
checked every other day and a calibration checked every week for several months after installation. Observe the results and
lengthen the period between calibration checks, depending upon the accuracy desired.
NOTE: Establish a routine inspection procedure including the belt conveyor scale and the entire material handling system.
Note any changes in the scale function and report them to the individual or department responsible for the scales’
performance.
11.2Field Wiring
If a problem with the belt scale wiring is suspected, check the electrical portion of the scale.
• Check for proper interconnections between the components of the system. All the wiring must be as specified on the
installation drawings.
• Check all wiring and connections for continuity, shorts and grounds using an ohmmeter.
• Loose connections, poor solder joints, shorted or broken wires and unspecified grounds in wiring cause erratic readings
and shifts in weight readings.
• Check all cable shields to ensure grounding is made at only the locations specified in the installation drawings.

Check load cell and cable connection
Check 882D operation with load cell simulator
Disconnect power, install card in different slot, then apply power again
The 882D display shows low bat when battery voltage depletes to 2.9 VDC. Replace the battery when this warning is displayed
to prevent data loss in the event of a power failure. The battery life varies depending on use. It is recommended to replace the
battery every three years, or sooner, if left powered off for extended periods of time.
Use the Revolution configuration utility (Section 6.0 on page 55) or EDP commands (Section 7.0 on page 57) to store a copy of
the 882D configuration on a PC before attempting battery replacement. The 882D configuration can be restored from the PC if
data is lost.
WARNING: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to state and
local regulations.

12.2Using the HARDWARE Command
The HARDWARE serial command can be used to verify that installed option cards are recognized by the system. The
HARDWARE command returns three 3-digit card codes, representing the cards installed. HARDWARE=000,yyy,zzz is the
returned format, where yyy is for slot 1 and zzz is for slot 2.
Table 12-2. HARDWARE Command Option Card Type Codes
The HARDWARE command returns code of 000 if an installed card is not recognized. Ensure card is seated properly. Reinstall
the card, if necessary, then cycle the power to read the configuration again. Try a different option card if the card is still not
recognized.
Use the decimal values for ASCII characters when specifying print format strings on the PFORMT menu. The actual character
printed depends on the character mapping used by the output device.
The indicator can send or receive any ASCII character value (decimal 0–255), but due to limitations of the indicator display,
some characters cannot be shown.

12.4Data Formats
12.4.1 Stream Serial Data Format
If stream data transmission is configured for the communication ports (STRLFT or STRIND), by default the 882D sends data
using the serial data format shown in Figure 12-1. RS-422 is also available and uses the same serial data format.
Figure 12-1. Stream Serial Data Format
NOTE: If the COM port is set to TYPE = RS485, the port will not stream data.

12.4.3 Print Output Serial Data Format
The 882D uses a data string format for a basic ticket printout. The print format is configured in the setup menu for the demand
(print) port, and depends on the 882D configuration and mode. See Section 8.0 on page 77 for print formatting.
Use the EDP commands, Revolution or the front panel to fully customize the print to work with a wide variety of printers, and
other remote equipment.
12.4.4 RS-485 Data Formats
The 882D has a built-in RS-485 software protocol which is enabled when configuring a port’s TYPE as 485. On the 882D only
the COM port has hardware support for RS-485 communication.
All RS-485 communication with the 882D is via command and response. An external host must send a command and wait for a
response.
All remote commands are initiated using the data format in Figure 12-2:
respond to serial commands
Figure 12-2. RS-485 Send Data Format
If the initiating device address matches the port address of a 882D on the RS-485 network, that indicator responds. The
responding indicator uses the format in Figure 12-3:
Figure 12-3. RS-485 Respond Data Format
* Communication with an RS-485 882D is command / response only; An 882D configured for RS-485 cannot print a ticket or stream
continuous data
* Any valid EDP command can be sent to the 882D when in RS-485 mode
* If a command is unrecognized or cannot be executed, the 882D responds with ?? wrapped in the RS-485 protocol
For example: <STX><ADDRESS>??<ETX><CR>
* Depending on the command, the <RESPONSE> may include its own termination characters that are sent before the <ETX><CR>
* A multi-line response, e.g. from a DUMPALL command, is wrapped in the header and footer as a total but each individual line is not
EOL - <CR> or <CR><LF> (set by the TERMIN parameter for the port)
Example: To send the LD command from an ASCII terminal to an indicator at address 65 (decimal) on the RS-485 network, use
the format in Figure 12-2 on page 95.
• The keyboard equivalent for the start-of-text (STX) character is CONTROL-B (Section 12.3 on page 92)
• 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 LD command to the indicator at address 65, enter the following at the terminal:
<CONTROL-B>ALD<CR>
The indicator responds with <STX>A 1234.00 lb/ft<CR><LF><ETX><CR>. See Section 7.0 on page 57 for other commands
that can be used.
12.5Analog Output Calibration
See Section 4.6.7 on page 43, for Analog Output parameters.
The following calibration procedure requires a multimeter to measure voltage or current output from the analog output module.
