1.0 Introduction

The IQ plus 590-DC is a single-channel digital weight indicator housed in a NEMA 4X/IP66-rated stainless steel enclosure. The indicator front panel consists of a 1-inch (25 mm), six-digit, liquid crystal (LCD) display and 19-button keypad. Features include:

• Drives up to four 350 cells

• Supports 4- and 6-wire load cell connections

• Electronic data processing (EDP) port for full duplex, RS-232 communications at up to 19200 bps

•Powered by 6 C batteries for complete portability

•AC adapter for 115 or 230 VAC power

• Conﬁgurable standby mode limits indicator power consumption when scale is inactive

• Piece count mode for basic parts counting functions.

The IQ plus 590-DC is NTEP-certiﬁed for Classes III and III L at 10,000 divisions. See Section 8.8 on page 42 for detailed speciﬁcations.

1.1 Operating Modes

The IQ plus 590-DC has several modes of operation:

Normal (weighing) mode

Normal mode is the “production” mode of the indicator. The indicator displays gross or net weights as required, using the LCD annunciators described in Section 1.3 on page 3 to indicate scale status and the type of weight value displayed. Once conﬁguration is complete and a legal seal is afﬁxed to the back of the indicator, the IQ plus 590-DC can operate only in normal mode.

Warning

Some procedures described in this manual require work inside the indicator enclosure. These procedures are to be performed by qualiﬁed service personnel only.

Authorized distributors and their employees can view or download this manual from the Rice Lake Weighing Systems distributor site at

www.rlws.com

The Operator Card included with this manual provides basic operating instructions for users of the IQ plus 590-DC. Please leave the Operator Card with the indicator when installation and conﬁguration are complete.

Piece count mode

In piece count mode, the indicator display shows the number of parts on the scale rather than the weight of those parts. Piece count mode has two submodes:

• Count display mode displays the current parts count and allows ticket printing using the CFMT print format.

• Sample acquisition mode is used to calibrate the indicator for parts counting.

Operator access to piece count mode is disabled when the indicator is shipped from the factory. See Section 6.0 on page 29 for detailed information about counting operations.

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 screw from the enclosure backplate. Insert a screwdriver or a similar tool into the access hole and press the setup switch once. The indicator display changes to show the word

Test mode

CONFIG

Test mode provides a number of diagnostic functions for the IQ plus 590-DC indicator. Like setup mode, test mode is entered using the setup switch. See Section 8.7 on page 40 for more information about entering and using test mode.

Standby mode

Standby mode is a conﬁgurable low-power mode used to extend battery life when the indicator is inactive. In standby mode, the LCD display sho ws the word

STNDBY

; press any key to exit standby mode. See Section 3.2.5 on page 20 for information about conﬁguring standby mode.

2.3.1 Cable Grounding

Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the cord grips should be grounded against the indicator backplate. 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 backplate 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 (15 mm) past the grounding clamp (see Figure 2-2). 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 2-2).

•For load cell cables, cut the shield wire just past the grounding clamp. Shield wire function is provided by contact between the cable shield and the grounding clamp.

• Route stripped cables through cord grips and clamps. Ensure shields contact grounding clamps as shown in Figure 2-2. Tighten grounding clamp nuts.

• Finish installation using cable mounts and ties to secure cables inside of indicator enclosure.

3.0 Conﬁguration

To conﬁgure the IQ plus 590-DC indicator, the indicator must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed by removing the large ﬁllister head screw on the enclosure backplate. Switch position is changed by inserting a screwdriver into the access hole and pressing the switch.

When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the word

CONFIG is shown on the display. The CONFIG menu

is the ﬁrst of seven main menus used to conﬁgure the indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are given in Section 3.2. When conﬁguration is complete, return to the CONFIG menu and press the (

ZERO)

key to exit setup mode, then replace the setup switch access screw.

3.1 Conﬁguration Methods

The IQ plus 590-DC indicator can be conﬁgured by using the front panel keys to navigate through a series of conﬁguration menus or by sending commands or conﬁguration data to the EDP port. Conﬁguration using the menus is described in Section 3.1.3.

Conﬁguration using the EDP port can be accomplished using either the EDP command set described in Section 5.0 or Version 2.2 or later of the

Revolution

3.1.1 Revolution Scaleware Conﬁguration

The Revolution Scaleware conﬁguration utility provides the preferred method for conﬁguring the IQ plus 590-DC indicator. Revolution runs on a personal computer to set conﬁguration parameters for the indicator. When Revolution conﬁguration is complete, conﬁguration data is downloaded to the indicator.

™

Scaleware conﬁguration utility.

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.

To use Revolution Scaleware, do the following:

1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible personal computer running Windows

3.11 or Windows 95. Minimum system requirements are 8MB of extended memory and at least 5MB of available hard disk space.

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

3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the setup switch to place the indicator in setup mode.

4. Start the Revolution Scaleware program.

Figure 3-1 shows an example of one of the Re volution Scaleware conﬁguration displays.

Revolution provides online help for each of its conﬁguration displays. Parameter descriptions provided in this manual for front panel conﬁguration can also be used when conﬁguring the indicator using Revolution: the interface is different, but the parameters set are the same.

3.1.2 EDP Command Conﬁguration

The EDP command set can be used to conﬁgure the IQ plus 590-DC indicator using a personal computer, terminal, or remote keyboard. Like Revolution, EDP command conﬁguration sends commands to the indicator EDP port; unlike Revolution, EDP commands can be sent using any external device capable of sending ASCII characters over a serial connection.

EDP commands duplicate the functions available using the indicator front panel and provide some functions not otherwise available. EDP commands can be used to simulate pressing front panel keys, to conﬁgure the indicator, or to dump lists of parameter settings. See Section 5.0 on page 25 for more information about using the EDP command set.

Configuration 11

3.1.3 Front Panel Conﬁguration

The IQ plus 590-DC indicator can be conﬁgured using a series of menus accessed through the indicator front panel when the indicator is in setup mode. Table 3-1 summarizes the functions of each of the main menus.

5.0 EDP Commands

The IQ plus 590-DC indicator can be controlled by a personal computer or remote keyboard connected to the indicator EDP port. Control is provided by a set of EDP commands that can simulate front panel key press functions, display and change setup parameters, and perform reporting functions. The EDP port provides the capability to print conﬁguration data or to save that data to an attached personal computer. This section describes the EDP command set and procedures for saving and transferring data using the EDP port.

5.1 The EDP Command Set

The EDP 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 an EDP 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.

5.1.1 Key Press Commands

Key press EDP commands (see Table 5-1) simulate pressing the keys on the front panel of the indicator. These commands can be used in both setup and weighing mode. Several of the commands serve as “pseudo” keys, providing functions that are not represented by a key on the front panel.

For example, to enter a 15-pound tare weight using EDP commands:

1. Type K1 and press

2. Type K5 and press

identiﬁer. The P command returns the current displayed weight value to the EDP port, along with the units identiﬁer . If the indicator is in an underrange or overload condition, the weight value is replaced with ###### (overload) or %%%%%% (underrange).

Table 5-2. EDP Reporting Commands

The RESETCONFIGURATION command can be used to restore all conﬁguration parameters to their default values. Before issuing this command, the indicator must be placed in setup mode or test mode (press and hold setup switch for approximately four seconds to enter test mode).

Sending this command, followed by the RS (RESET) EDP command, is equivalent to using the DEFLT function on the TEST menu. See Section 8.7 on page 40 for more information about test mode and using the TEST menu.

NOTE: All load cell calibration

settings are lost when the RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.

5.1.4 Parameter Setting Commands

Parameter setting commands allow you to display or change the current value for a particular conﬁguration parameter (Tables 5-3 through Table 5-8).

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. 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

??.

Changes to the parameters do not take effect until you exit setup mode.

For example, to set the motion band parameter to 5, type the following:

MOTBAND=5D<ENTER>

5.2 Saving and Transferring Data

Connecting a personal computer to the IQ plus 590-DC EDP port allows you to save indicator conﬁguration data to the PC or to download conﬁguration data from the PC to an indicator. The following sections describe the procedures for these save and transfer operations.

5.2.1 Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer

Conﬁguration data can be saved to a personal computer connected to the EDP port. The PC must be running a communications program such as

PROCOMMPLUS information about serial communications wiring and EDP port pin assignments.

When conﬁguring the indicator, ensure that the values set for the BAUD and BITS parameters on the SERIAL menu match the baud rate, bits, and parity settings conﬁgured for the serial port on the PC.

To save all conﬁguration data, place the indicator in setup mode and send the DUMPALL EDP command to the indicator. The IQ plus 590-DC responds by sending all conﬁguration parameters to the PC as ASCII-formatted text.

. See Section 2.3.3 on page 6 for

5.2.2 Downloading Conﬁguration Data from PC to Indicator

Conﬁguration data saved on a PC or ﬂoppy disk can be downloaded from the PC to an indicator. This procedure is useful when a number of indicators with similar conﬁgurations are set up or when an indicator is replaced.

To download conﬁguration data, connect the PC to the EDP port as described in Section 5.2.1. Place the indicator in setup mode and use the PC communications software to send the saved conﬁguration data to the indicator. When transfer is complete, calibrate the indicator as described in Section 4.0 on page 23.

NOTES:

• Calibration settings are included in the conﬁguration data downloaded to the indicator. If the receiving indicator is a direct replacement for another IQ plus 590-DC and the attached scale is not changed, recalibration is not required.

• When downloading conﬁgurations that include changed serial communications settings, edit the data ﬁle to place the serial communications changes at the end of the ﬁle. Communication between the PC and indicator will be lost once the indicator receives settings for baud rate (BAUD parameter) or data bits and parity (BITS parameter) that do not match those conﬁgured for the PC.

28 IQ plus 590-DC Installation Manual

6.0 Counting Operations

The IQ plus 590-DC provides a piece count mode that allows the indicator to serve as a portable counting scale. In piece count mode, the indicator display shows the number of parts on the scale rather than the weight of those parts.

NOTE: Legal-for-trade applications require product to

be sold by weight rather than an equivalent parts count. Operator access to piece count mode is disabled when the indicator is shipped from the factory.

To enable operator access to piece count mode, set the ACCESS parameter to ENABLE (COUNT submenu on the PROGRM menu) or send the CNTMOD= ENABLE EDP command.

Piece count mode has two submodes:

• Count display mode displays the current parts count and allows ticket printing using the CFMT print format.

• Sample acquisition mode is used to calibrate the indicator for parts counting.

Count Display Mode

Piece count mode is entered by pressing the MODE (GROSS/NET) key from normal weighing mode. In count display mode, the display shows the number of parts rather than weight, the arrow annunciator at the right side of the LCD display points to piece count (PC), and pressing the

PRINT key sends the CFMT

print format data string to the serial port (see Figure 6-1 on page 30).

If a sample weight has not yet been acquired, the indicator switches automatically to sample acquisition mode, described below.

• Add the number of parts shown.

• Choose a different sample size. Press the

SAMPLE key to scroll through the

selectable sample quantities (5, 10, 20, 50, 100) or use the numeric keypad to specify a custom sample size.

• Specify a known piece weight. Press the

SAMPLE key to scroll through the

selectable sample quantities until the

WGT prompt is shown. Use the numeric

keypad to enter the piece weight.

5. Once the sample quantity is on the scale, press

ENTER to calibrate the indicator for

counting the new parts. If a sample size was speciﬁed, the indicator display shows the message –CNT– as it acquires the sample weight, then switches to count display mode and shows the part quantity. If a known piece weight was speciﬁed, the display switches to count display mode immediately.

If the weight of the sample quantity is insufﬁcient for piece counting, the indicator automatically requests the next higher sample quantity by showing the

Addnnn message

again. If the sample quantity is at maximum (100) and the sample weight is still not sufﬁcient, the indicator shows the message

CNTERR.

To view gross and net weight of parts, press

MODE to

switch from count display mode to normal weighing mode. To view the current piece weight while in count mode, press the

DISPLAY TARE key.

Sample Acquisition Mode

Sample acquisition mode is used to select the sample quantity and calibrate the indicator for the parts being counted.

To set a new sample weight, do the following:

1. Place empty parts container on scale. Wait for standstill, then press

TARE to acquire the tare

weight of the container.

2. Press

3. From count display mode, press the

MODE to enter piece count mode.

SAMPLE

(UNITS) key to enter sample acquisition mode.

4. The indicator display shows the message

7.0 Print Formatting

The IQ plus 590-DC provides three print formats, GFMT, NFMT, and CFMT that determine the format of the printed output when the

PRINT key is pressed

or when a KPRINT EDP command is received. If no tare has been entered, the GFMT print format is used; if a tare has been entered, NFMT is used; in counting mode, CFMT is used.

Each print format can be customized to include up to 300 characters of information, such as company name and address, on printed tickets. You can use the indicator front panel (PFORMT menu), EDP

commands, or the Revolution

™

Scaleware

conﬁguration utility to customize the print formats.

7.1 Print Formatting Commands

Table 7-1 lists commands you can use to format the gross and net print formats. Commands included in the format strings must be enclosed between < and > delimiters. Any characters outside of the delimiters are printed as text on the ticket. Text characters can include any ASCII character that can be printed by the output device.

Command Description

<G> Gross weight in displayed units <G2> Gross weight in non-displayed units <N> Net weight in displayed units <N2> Net weight in non-displayed units <T> Tare weight in displayed units <T2> Tare weight in non-displayed units <C> Current piece count <W> Current piece weight <ID> Unit identiﬁer <CN> Consecutive number <NLnn> New line (nn = number of termination [<CR/LF>

or <CR>] characters)* <SPnn> Space (nn = number of spaces)* <SU> Toggle weight data format (formatted/

unformatted)** Gross, net, and tare weights are 10 digits in length, including

sign, followed by a space and a two-digit units identiﬁer. Total ﬁeld length with units identiﬁer is 13 characters.

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.

Command Description

** 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 7-1. Print Format Commands (Continued)

The default GFMT and NFMT print formats use only the new line (<NL>) command and the commands for gross, net, and tare weights in displayed units (<G>, <N>, and <T>).

The default IQ plus 590-DC print formats are shown in Table 7-2:

Format Default Format String Sample Output

GFMT <G> GROSS<NL> 2046.81 lb GROSS NFMT <G> GROSS<NL>

CFMT <C><NL> 512 PC

NOTE: In OIML and CANADA modes, the letters PT (preset tare) are automatically inserted after the printed tare weight.

Table 7-2. Default Print Formats

NOTES:

4053.1 lb GROSS

15.6 lb TARE

4037.5 lb NET

• The <G2>, <N2>, and <T2> commands listed in Table 7-1 print the gross, net, and tare weights in non-displayed units—that is, in the units not currently displayed on the indicator.

• ID numbers included in the print format string (<ID> command) must be set using the UID EDP command.

• The 300-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.

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 (PFORMT menu), and the Revolution Scaleware conﬁguration utility.

Table 7-1. Print Format Commands

Print Formatting 31

7.2.1 Using the EDP Port

With a personal computer, terminal, or remote keyboard attached to the IQ plus 590-DC EDP port, you can use the EDP command set to customize the print format strings.

To view the current setting of a format string, type the name of the string (GFMT, NFMT, or CFMT) and press

ENTER. For example, to check the current

conﬁguration of the GFMT format, type GFMT and press

ENTER. The indicator responds by sending the

current conﬁguration for the gross format:

GFMT=<G> GROSS<NL>

To change the format, use the GFMT, NFMT, or CFMT 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 format, you could send the following EDP command:

GFMT=MLC SHIPPING<NL>1357 WEST HOWARD ROAD<NL>BIGTOWN<NL2><G> GROSS<NL>

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

MLC SHIPPING 1357 WEST HOWARD ROAD BIGTOWN

27862 LB GROSS

7.2.2 Using the Front Panel

If you have no access to equipment for communication through the EDP port or are working at a site where such equipment cannot be used, you can use the PFORMT menu (see Figure 7-1) to customize the print formats.

Using the PFORMT menu, you can edit the print format strings by changing the decimal values of the ASCII characters in the format string.

NOTE: Lower -case letters and some special characters

cannot be displayed on the IQ plus 590-DC front panel (see the ASCII character chart on page 35) and are shown as blanks. The IQ plus 590-DC can send or receive any ASCII character; the character printed depends on the particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.

7.2.3 Using Revolution Scaleware

The Revolution Scaleware conﬁguration utility provides a print formatting grid with a tool bar. The grid allows you to construct the print format without the formatting commands (<NL> and <SP>) required by the front panel or EDP command methods. Using Revolution, you can type text directly into the grid, then select weight value ﬁelds from the tool bar and place them where you want them to appear on the printed ticket.

Figure 7-2 shows an example of the Revolution Scaleware print formatting grid.

The IQ plus 590-DC has the capability to mathematically convert a weight into many different types of units and instantly display those results with a press of the speciﬁed on the FORMAT menu using the SECNDR parameter, or by using EDP commands.

•To conﬁgure secondary units using the front

•To conﬁgure secondary units using EDP

• Long tons and grains units listed in Table 8-4

NOTE: Ensure that the secondary decimal point

position is set appropriately for the scale capacity in the secondary units. If the converted value requires more digits than are available, the indicator will display an overﬂow message (

For example, if the primary units are short tons, secondary units are pounds, and the secondary decimal point is set to 8888.88, the indicator will overﬂow if 5 tons or more are applied to the scale. With 5 tons applied, and a conversion factor of 2000, the secondary units display needs ﬁve digits to the left of the decimal point to display the 10000 lb secondary units value.

8.6 Digital Filtering

The IQ plus 590-DC 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 8-3 shows the digital ﬁlter parameters on the CONFIG menu.

8.6.1 DIGFL

Parameters

The ﬁrst three digital ﬁltering parameters, DIGFL1, DIGFL2, and DIGFL3, 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 8-4).

The overall ﬁltering effect can be expressed by multiplying the values assigned to the three ﬁlter stages:

DIGFL1 x DIGFL2 x DIGFL3

For example, if the ﬁlters are conﬁgured as DIGFL1=4, DIGFL2=8, DIGFL3=8, the overall ﬁltering effect is 256 (4 x 8 x 8). With this conﬁguration, each A/D reading has a 1-in-256 effect on the displayed weight value. Setting the ﬁlters to 1 effectively disables digital ﬁltering (1 x 1 x 1 = 1).

8.6.2 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 consecutive scale readings that must fall outside the ﬁlter threshold (DFTHRH) before digital ﬁltering is suspended.

• DFTHRH sets a threshold value, in display divisions. When a speciﬁed number of consecutive scale readings (DFSENS) fall outside of this threshold, digital ﬁltering is suspended. Set DFTHRH to NONE to turn off the ﬁlter override.

Appendix 39

8.6.3 Setting the Digital Filter Parameters

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

1. In setup mode, set all three digital ﬁlters (DIGFL1, DIGFL2, DIGFL3) to 1. Set DFTHRH to NONE. Return indicator to normal mode.

2. Remove all weight from the scale, then watch the indicator display to determine the magnitude of 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 setup mode and set the digital ﬁlters (DIGFLx) to eliminate the

8.7 Test Mode

In addition to normal and setup modes, test mode provides a number of diagnostic functions for the IQ plus 590-DC, including:

• Display raw A/D count

• Set A/D offset and gain calibration

• Reset conﬁguration parameters to default values

• Print indicator conﬁguration

To enter test mode, press and hold the setup switch until the front panel display shows the word After about three seconds, the test mode display automatically shifts to the ﬁrst test menu function, A/ DTST.

TEST.

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

4. With optimum v alues assigned to the DIGFL x parameters, calculate the DFTHRH parameter value by con verting 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 5D: 50 / 5D = 10. DFTHRH should be set to 10DD for this example.

5. Finally, set the DFSENS parameter high enough to ignore transient peaks. Longer transients (typically caused 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 effective value for the DFSENS parameter.
