1.2 Capacities and Resolutions

Table 1-1 lists the scale capacities and resolutions for all part numbered models of the Counterpart. Counting scales specify two types of resolution:

• Weight (or external) resolution

• Counting (or internal) resolution

W e ight resolution is displayed in divisions of the full scale capacity

, which is divided into weight increments. For example, a 5 lb scale divided into 10,000 display divisions would display weight with 0.0005 lb divisions (10,000 divisions x 0.0005 lb = 5.0 lb).

Counting resolution is based on the internal for the

2.10 CPU Board Battery Replacement

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with incorrect type. Dispose of batteries per manufacturer instructions.

The lithium battery on the CPU board maintains the real-time clock and protects data stored in

the system RAM when the indicator is not connected to AC power. Data protected by this battery includes time and date, IDs, buffered WeighVault transaction data and setpoint value data. If any data is lost, the indicator configuration can be restored from the PC. Watch for the low battery warning on the LCD display and periodically check the battery voltage on the CPU board. Batteries should be replaced when the indicator low battery warning comes on, or when battery voltage falls to 2.2 VDC. Life expectancy of the battery is 7 years. Use Revolution to store a copy of the configuration before attempting to replace the battery.

For best results, replace the battery while in weigh mode and with AC power applied. Use care not to bend the batt

ery retaining spring. The battery location on the CPU board is noted in Figure 2-8 as B1.

Digital filter cutout threshold. Specifies the filter threshold, in display divisions. When a specified number of consecutive scale readings (DFSENS parameter) fall outside of this threshold, digital filtering is suspended. If NONE is selected, the filter is always enabled.

Sample rate. Selects measurement rate, in samples per second, of the analog-to-digital converter. Lower sample rate values provide greater signal noise immunity.

Power up mode. In GO mode, the indicator goes into operation immediately after a brief power up display test.

In DELAY mode, the indicator performs a power up display test, then enters a 30-second warm up period. If no motion is detected during the warm up period, the indicator becomes operational when the warm up period ends; if motion is detected, the delay timer is reset and the warm up period repeated.

TRIP Higher

Lower Inband Outband

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.

BANDVAL number

HYSTER number Specifies a band around the setpoint value that must be exceeded before the setpoint,

once off, can trip on again.

PREACT Off

On Learn

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 value at standstill to the target setpoint value, then adjusts the preact PREVAL by the PREADJ value times the difference after each batch.

PREVAL

PREADJ 0.500000

0-9999999

Preact adjustment factor. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies a decimal representation of the percentage of error correction applied (0.05 = 50%, 1.0 - 100%) each time a PREACT adjustment is made.

PRESTAB 0

0-65535

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.

PCOUNT 1

0-65535

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, re-calculates the preact value after every batch cycle.

RELNUM 1

4.2 Five-point linearization

Five-point linearization (using the WLIN parameter) provides increased scale accuracy by calibrating the indicator at up to five additional points between the zero and span calibrations.

Linearization is optional: if you choose not to perform linearization, skip the WLIN parameter; if linearization values have previously been entered, these values are reset to zero during calibration. WZERO and WSPAN must be calibrated before adding linearization points; WLIN values must be less than the WSPAN value and must not duplicate WZERO or WSPAN.

3. Place test weights on the scale and use the SC.WVAL#n command to enter the test weight value in the following format:

SC.WVAL=nnnnnn<CR>

4. Send the SC.WSPAN#n command to calibrate span. The indicator displays while calibration is in progress.

5. Up to five linearization points can be calibrated between the zero and span calibration values. Use the following commands to set and calibrate a single linearization point:

SC.WLIN.V1=nnnnn<CR> SC.WLIN.C1<CR>

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

4.6 More About Calibration

The following topics provide additional information about compensating for environmental factors (Section 4.6.1) and diagnostic information for determining expected zero and span coefficients.

4.6.1 Adjusting Final Calibration

Calibration may be affected by environmental factors including wind, vibration, and angular loading. For example, if the scale is calibrated with 1000 lb, a strain test may determine that at 2000 lb the calibration is 3 lb high. In this case, final calibration can be adjusted by tweaking WVAL to 998.5 lb. This adjustment provides a linear correction of 1.5 lb per 1000 lb.

To adjust the final calibration, return to the prompt and press TAR E( En te r) to show the test weight value. Press

5.0 Scale Operations

The following paragraphs contain detailed operator instructions for Counterpart. Included are instructions to enter tare weights, toggle between net and gross weight, enter unit weights, perform inventory accumulation and reduction, and toggle between scales. All operator instructions are conducted with the scale in the operation mode that is the weighing or normal mode.

Counting scale accuracy is primarily determined by the following factors:

• S ample size (number of pieces)

• Total sample size as a percentage of full scale capacity

• P iece-to-piece weight variation

As a general rule when determining sample size of fairly uniform pieces, the larger the sa mple size the grea ter the total sample weight, therefore, the better the counting accuracy. Selecting the smallest capacity scale that can obtain the highest counting resolution should be considered, but should not sacrifice the capacity required for the heaviest container of parts. For th is ki nd of ap plica tion, a dual-platform scale may be the best selec tion. There is a direct relationship between piece-to-piece weight variation (non-uniformity) and counting accuracy.

Therefore, elimination of the piece-to-piece weight variations can be accomplished by:

1. Isolating the sample used to calculate the unit weight and use the same sample to re-check the scale.

2. Recalculating the unit weight from lot-to-lot of parts. Parts manufactured on one machine may vary slightly from another machine relative to weight.

3. Tightening the manufacturing tolerances on the parts reduces piece weight variations and increases count accuracy.

The Stand-By Screen

At the stand-by screen the WEIGHT, UNIT WEIGHT, and QUANTITY displays show zeroes and the annunciator for the platform you are using is illuminated (Scale 1 or 2).

5.1 Weight Unit Switching

The weight units displayed can be changed betwee n Primary, Secondary and Tertiary units during weighing operations by pressing the

UNITS TOGGLE key.

5.2 Entering Tare Weights

T a re weights can be entered in the scale by one of two methods: one-touch tare or digital tare. Digital tare is used when the tare weight is already known while one-touch tare is used when the tare weight is unknown. If you call up an Item Code already programmed into the Item Code, the Tare Weight stored with the Item Code will override one entered digitally or by using the key.

5.2.1 One-Touch Tare, Tare Unknown

1. If the tare weight value is not known, place the container, box, or item to be tared on the scale and press

TARE . The weight display should now show 0 and the Net annunciator should illuminate.

2. Remove the container, box, or item from the scale. The weight display should show a negative weight value (weight of the tared container, box, or item).

3. To clear the tare weight, press TAR E with no weight on the scale, scale should be at gross zero. The Net annunciator will no longer be illuminated.

5.2.2 Digital Tare, Tare Weight Known

1. If the tare weight value is known, use the numeric keypad to key in the value and then press TA RE . The Net annunciator will illuminate.

2. To reset the tare to zero, press TARE again with no weight on the scale while the scale is at Gross Zero and the Zero annunicator is lit

5.3 Toggling Between Gross and Net

Note

To toggle between net and gross weight, a tare value must be entered into the scale. Follow Section 5.2 to enter a tare value.

After a tare value is entered into the scale, items placed

on the scale will cause the net annunciator to illuminate and allow toggling between net weight and gross we ight. An example of toggling betw een net weight and gross weight is shown below:

1. Place 0.5 lb weight on the scale and then press

2. Place another 0.5 lb weight on the scale. The scale weight dis

will no longer be illuminated.

4. Press the

GROSS/NET key. The weight display should now show 0.500 and the net weight annunciator is

illuminated again.

5.4 Entering Unit Weights

Entering unit weights can be done either by samp ling, as presented in Section 5.4.1, or by key entry as described in Section 5.4.2.

EXTENT OF INSUFFICIENT SAMPLES controls unit weight sampling. The default setting for the INSFSMPLE is 0.1 percent.

SAMPLE QUANTITY determines the number of pieces the scale assumes are on the platter when you press

the SAMPLE key to calculate the unit weight. The default setting is 10 pieces.

XFRUNITWT sets whether the unit weight determined by sampling is automatically transferred from Scale 1 to Scale 2. The default setting AUTOMATIC.

UNIT WEIGHT BASE controls whether the setting for this is1000 pieces.

unit weight is displayed per 1000 pieces or per 1 piece. The default

Unit Weight per 1000 Pieces vs. Unit Weight per 1 Piece

The scale’s internal microprocessor calculates unit weights to several decimal places. However, the scale display generally can only show Unit Weight to a maximum of 8 characters (or 7 places and a decimal point). If this Unit Weight is recorded from the scale display and entered by key entry, this can introduce errors in the Unit Weight and consequently in the counts. This error increases as the Unit Weight of the parts being counted decreases.

Example: A sample of 10 zener diodes is placed on the

scale. The Unit Weight is computed to be 0.000653642 lbs. However, the scale has a 7 character display for Unit Weight (or 6 places after the decimal point - 0.000000) so the scale can only display 0.000653 as the Unit Weight. If this Unit Weight were recorded and keyboard entered in future counting operations, the resulting error would be: 0.000653642 - 0.000653 x 100 = .098%

0.0006536 On the other hand, with entry of the Unit Weight as “weight pe

r 1000 pieces” the decimal place is, in effect,

moved three places to the right, allowing 3 more decimal places of accuracy. In this example, the entry would be made as 0.653642 per 1000 pieces, eliminating the error.

As a practical note, entering unit weights per 1000 pieces also le

ssens the chances of entering the wrong number of zeros when keying in weights with many leading zeros. Incorrect entry of unit weights is a common cause of inaccurate counting.

Parts can be sampled (generating a new unit weight) or a unit weight can be keyed or scanned and the new unit weight is saved into the stored copy of the currently loaded ID record. If WeighVault is also enabled, a WeighVault ID update will also occur.

5.4.2 Unit Weight Operation by Key Entry

Unit weight operation by key entry is accomplished by using the numeric keypad to enter the known value of the unit weight and then pressing the

UNIT WEIGHT key. An example of unit weight operation by key entry is shown

below:

You can also enter a weight as APW (Average Piece Weight) or Unit Weight per thousand.

To clear the unit value, enter 0 and push the unit weight key.

Piece Weight Enhancement

After performing a sample process, the unit determines the maximum number of pieces that could be accurately used for a recompute. If the number of pieces on the scale is less than the recompute value, the RECOMP annunicator will be shown.

current piece count (instead of the SAMPLEQTY value) as the sample quantity.

Negative Counting (Full Box Counting)

Just as you can count by adding parts to the scale, you can also count by removing parts from the scale. This is called “negative counting” because a negative weight is displayed while counting. Contrary to what may seem intuitively logical, you do not use the (

-) key to do negative counting. The (-) key is only used to delete an entry

in accumulation mode that you want to erase. This procedure does not affect the inventory quantity for this item stored in the scale.

To utilize the negative counting feature, you need to set NEGCOUNT to “On” under the Count Menu.

There are two ways to do this depending on whether at the end you want to see the total amount remaining in the container or the total amount removed from the container.

5.7 Totalization Counts

Note

Counterpart has a totalization function that allows you to totalize the quantity of several weighings together.

This is especially helpful if putting together parts kits. The ID code is functional with totalization. For full operation of the totalization feature, the

6.0 Serial Commands

The Counterpart can be controlled by a PC 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. This provides the ability to print configuration data or to save to your hard drive.

6.1 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 a serial command is processed, the message

OK. The OK response verifies that the

command was received and has been executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot be executed, the

Gross, net, and tare weights are 8 digits in length, including sign and decimal point, followed by a space and a one- to five-digit units identifier. Total field length with units identifier is 10-14 characters. Depending on what units are configured, the units identifier will be lb, oz, g, or kg.

Gross, net, tare, and accumulator weights can be printed in any configured weight units by adding the following modifiers to the gross, net, tare, and accumulator weight commands: /P (primary units), /D (displayed units), /S (secondary units), /T (tertiary units). If not specified, the current displayed units (/ D) is assumed. Example: To format a ticket to show net weight in secondary units, use the following command: <N/S>.

UNIT ID and consecutive number (CN) fields are 1–6 characters in length, as required.

* If nn is not specified, 1 is assumed. Value must be in the range 1–99.

** After receiving an SU command, the indicator sends unformatted data until the next SU command is received. Unformatted data omits decimal points, leading and trailing characters.

Table 7-2. Default Print Formats

The 500-character limit of each print format string includes the output field length of the print formatting commands, not the command length. For example, if the indicator is configured to show a decimal point, the <G> command generates an output field of 13 characters: the 10-character weight value (including decimal point), one space, and

a two-digit units identifier. The two header formats as limited to 100 characters each.

The default Counterpart print formats are shown in Table 7-2 and Table 7-3:

7.2 Customizing Print Formats

The following sections describe procedures for customizing the GFMT, NFMT and CFMT formats using the EDP port, the front panel (

. For example, to check the current configuration of the GFMT.FMT format, type GFMT.FMT and press ENTER.

The indicator responds by sending the current configuration for the gross format:

GFMT.FMT=<G> GROSS<NL>

T o change the format, use the GFMT.FMT or NFMT 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 gross forma t, you c ould send the following EDP command:

A/D Readings

The Counterpart uses averaged digital filtering to reduce the effect of vibration on weight readings. Adjustable threshold and sensitivity functions allow quick settling by suspending filter averaging, allowing the weight reading to jump to the new value. Figure 9-2 shows the digital filter parameters on

Figure 9-2. Digital Filtering Parameters on the Configuration (CONFIG) Menu

the CONFIG menu.

Figure 9-3. Flow Diagram for Counterpart Digital Filters

9.6.1 DIGFLx Parameters

The first three digital filtering parameters, DFLTR1, DFLTRL2, and DFLTR3, are configurable filter stages that control the effect of a single A/D reading on the displayed weight. The value assigned to each parameter sets the number of readings received from the preceding filter stage before averaging (see Figure 9-3).

The overall filtering

DFLTR1 + D F LT R 2 + DFLTR3

effect can be expressed by adding the values assigned to the three filter stages:

For example, if the filters are configured as DFLTR1=4, DFLTR2=8, DFLTR3=8, the overall filtering effect is 20 (4 + 8 + 8). With this configuration, each A/D reading has a 1-in-20 effect on the displayed weight value. Setting the filters to 1 effectively disables digital filtering.

9.6.2 DFSENS and DFTHRH Parameters

The three digital filters can be used by themselves to eliminate vibration effects, but heavy filtering also increases settling time. The DFSENS (digital filter sensitivity) and DFTHRH (digital filter threshold) parameters can be used to temporarily override filter averaging and improve settling time:

• DFSENS specifies the number of consecuti (DFTHRH) before digital filtering is suspended.

• DFTHRH se ts a threshold value, in display divisions readings (DFSENS) fall outside of this threshold, digital filtering is suspended. Set DFTHRH to NONE to turn off the filter override.

9.6.3 Setting the Digital Filter Parameters

Fine-tuning the digital filter parameters greatly improves indicator performance in heavy-vibration environments. Use the following pro cedure to dete rmine vibration effects on the scale and optimize the digital filtering configuration.

1. In menu mode, set all three digital filters (DFLTR1, Return indicator to normal mode.

Page 90

2. Remove all weight from the scale, then watch the indicator display to determine the magnitude of

Note

vibration effects on the scale. Record the weight below which all but a few readings fall. This value is used to calculate the DFTHRH parameter value in Step 4.

For example, if a heavy-capacity scale produces vibration-related readings of up to 50 lb, with occasional spikes to 75 lb, record 50 lb as the threshold weight value.

3. Place the indicator in menu mode and set the digital filters (DFL

TRx) to eliminate the vibration effects on the scale. (Leave DFTHRH set to NONE.) Reconfigure as necessary to find the lowest effective values for the DFLTRx parameters.

4. With optimum values assigned to the DFLTRx pa

rameters, calculate the DFTHRH parameter value by

converting the weight value recorded in Step 2 to display divisions:

threshold_weight_value / DSPDIV

In the example in Step 2, with a threshold weight value of 50 lb and a display division value of 5lb: 50 /

5lb = 10DD.

DFTHRH should be set to 10DD for this example.

5. Finally, set the DFSENS parameter high enough to ignore transient peaks. Longer transients (typically cau

sed by lower vibration frequencies) will cause more consecutive out-of-band readings, so DFSENS

should be set higher to counter low frequency transients. Reconfigure as necessary to find the lowest ef

9.8 Serial Scale Interface

Serial port 1 can be configured for serial scale input. The serial scale function allows other scale indicators to send gross, or net weight data to data format can be customized to match the data stream sent by that indicator. See information setting up.

To set up and configure a serial scale, do the following:

1. Under the SERIAL menu, select Port 1 and scroll over to IND SC (industrial serial scale) or SCALE (Legal-for-Trade), depending on what is required. This enables Scale 3. For operation with the counting functions, the type must be set to IND SC.

2. Match up the baud rates (9600), data bits and parity, and stop bits, and this becomes SCALE 3.

3. Set the format under the SFMT parameter to match the format sent by the serial scale. An example of the default serial scale format is:

Where:

<STX> STX character <P> Polarity <W7> Seven characters of net data with decimal pt <U> Units <M> Mode <S> Status <CR> Carriage return

Note that industrial serial scales (IND SC) do not 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 with a w-spec identifier. For example, a seven-digit weight reading requiring two decimal places should be specified as <W7.2> rather than <W7>.

To change or match formats, use the same path to change formats.

When REGULAT is set for NONE or INDUST there are no restrictions on displaying both the weight and

piece count data.

If the unit is going to be used in Legal-for-Trade applications, weight and piece co unt data canno t be displ ayed at the same time. Use the following examples to use Counterpart in Legal-for-Trade applications.

9.10.1 Legal-for-Trade and Normal Weight Mode

When in a Legal-for-Trade mode (REGULAT = NTEP, OIML, or CANADA) and the unit is in normal weigh mode:

• If the weight is displayed in the ma
