2.7 Battery Replacement

The 3.0V lithium battery on the power supply/display board maintains the real-time clock and protects data stored in the system RAM when the indicator is not connected to AC power.

System RAM data includes time and date, print formats, truck ID storage, and setpoint conﬁguration. This information is lost if the battery loses power and the indicator is disconnected from AC power. To prevent loss of data, do the following:

• Periodically check the battery voltage and replace when the voltage drops. The battery should last a minimum of one year.

• Use the Revolution conﬁguration utility or EDP commands (see Section 5.2 on page 44) to store a copy of the indicator conﬁguration on a PC before attempting battery replacement. If any data is lost, the indicator conﬁguration can be restored from the PC.

2.6 Board Removal

If you must remove the IQ plus 710 CPU board, use the following procedure:

1. Disconnect power to the indicator. Loosen cord grips and remove backplate as described in Section 2.2 on page 4.

2. Unplug connectors J1 (load cell cable), J4 and J12 (serial communications), J7 and J8 (digital I/O), J6 (keypad ribbon cable), and JP4 (setup switch). If an analog output board is installed, disconnect the analog output cable. See Figure 2-1 on page 5 for connector locations.

3. Remove the standoff and three nuts from the corners of the CPU board.

4. Cut the cable tie that holds the line ﬁlter load wires to the enclosure.

5. Lift the board off of its spacers just far enough to access the setscrews that secure the line ﬁlter load wires at connector P2. Use a small screwdriver to loosen the setscrews and disconnect power to the board.

6. Remove the CPU board from the enclosure.

To replace the CPU board, reverse the above procedure. Be sure to reinstall cable ties to secure all cables inside the indicator enclosure.

3.0 Conﬁguration

To conﬁgure the IQ plus 710 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 ten 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 710 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 the Revolution conﬁguration utility.

3.1.1 Revolution Conﬁguration

The Revolution conﬁguration utility provides the preferred method for conﬁguring the IQ plus 710 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.

™

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, do the following:

1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible

personal computer running Windows

3.11 or Windows 95. Minimum system requirements are 4MB 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 program.

Figure 3-1 shows an example of one of the Revolution 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 710 indicator using either 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 37 for more information about using the EDP command set.

Figure 3-1. Sample Revolution Conﬁguration Display

Configuration 13

Page 17

3.1.3 Front Panel Conﬁguration

The IQ plus 710 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.

Menu Menu Function

CONFIG Conﬁguration Conﬁgure grads, zero tracking, zero range, motion band, overload, tare function, power-up

Speciﬁes the number of full scale graduations. The value entered must be in the range 1–100000 and should be consistent with legal requirements and environmental limits on system resolution.

To calculate GRADS, use the formula, GRADS = Capacity / Display Divisions. Display divisions for primary and secondary units are speciﬁed on the FORMAT menu.

Automatically zeroes the scale when within the range speciﬁed, as long as the input is within the ZRANGE and scale is at standstill. Selections are ± display divisions. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.

Selects the range within which the scale can be zeroed. The 1.9% selection is ± 1.9% around the calibrated zero point, for a total range of 3.8%. Indicator must be at standstill to zero the scale. Use 1.9% for legal-for-trade applications.

Sets the level, in display divisions, at which scale motion is detected. If motion is not detected for 1 second or more, the standstill symbol lights. Some operations, including print, tare, and zero, require the scale to be at standstill. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.

If this parameter is set to OFF, the standstill annunciator will not light; operations normally requiring standstill (zero, tare, print) are performed regardless of scale motion. If OFF is selected, ZTRKBND must also be set to OFF.

Determines the point at which the display blanks and an out-of-range error message is displayed. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.

Selects the digital ﬁltering rate used to reduce the effects of mechanical vibration from the immediate area of the scale.

Choices indicate the number of A/D conversions per update that are averaged to obtain the displayed reading. A higher number gives a more accurate display by minimizing the effect of a few noisy readings, but slows down the settling rate of the indicator.

Digital ﬁlter cutout sensitivity. Speciﬁes the number of consecutive readings that must fall outside the ﬁlter threshold (DFTHRH parameter) before digital ﬁltering is suspended.

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.

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.

Enables or disables push-button and keyed tares. Possible values are:

BOTH: Both push-button and keyed tares are enabled NOTARE: No tare allowed (gross mode only) PBTARE: Push-button tares enabled KEYED: Keyed tare enabled

4.4 More About Calibration

The following topics provide additional information that may be useful when calibrating the indicator with no attached scale (Section 4.4.1) or when calibrating a heavy capacity scale without test weights (Section 4.4.2).

4.4.1 Zero Deadload A/D Counts

Table 4-1 lists the ideal A/D counts that result from input signals of 0–45 mV with zero deadload. Actual values will typically be higher than the values shown in Table 4-1 but the ideal values can be used when calibrating the indicator with no attached scale.

Input Signal (mV) Raw A/D Count

Table 4-1. Ideal A/D Raw Counts

4.4.2 Calculating the Span Coefﬁcient

In applications where absolute accuracy is not required, or where the use of test weights is not practical and not required, the IQ plus 710 can be calibrated using a calculated span coefﬁcient. The span coefﬁcient is determined using the following formula:

Span_coefﬁcient =

((21000) * mV_signal _input) + zero_coefﬁcient

To use the formula, you will need to determine the full scale input signal value (based on the rated full scale signal output of the load cells) and perform a zero calibration. These procedures are described in the following sections.

Calculate Full Scale Signal Input Value

In the span coefﬁcient equation, mV_signal_input is the full scale signal input (in mV) of the load cells. For a single load cell scale, multiply the rated signal output

of the load cell (listed on the manufacturer’s cert or load cell label) by the excitation voltage (10 V). For scales with multiple load cells, record the rated signal output of each cell, then multiply the average of these values by the excitation voltage (10 V).

NOTE: If the scale will be calibrated for a full scale value less than the capacity of the load cells, multiply the full scale signal input value by the ratio of calibrated capacity over the sum of the load cell capacities.

For example, to determine the full scale signal input value for a scale platform with the following:

• Four 10,000-lb load cells with full scale signal outputs rated at 3.0116, 3.0043, 2.9978, and 3.1863 mV/V

• Full scale capacity to be calibrated at 30,000 lb

The averaged full scale output of the load cells is 3.05 mV/V (sum of the four values, divided by four). The sum of the load cell capacities is 40,000 lb, but because the scale will be calibrated to a full scale value of 30,000 lb, the full scale signal will be reached at 2.2875 mV/V:

(30000 / 40000) * 3.05 mV/V = 2.2875 mV/V

Multiplying this value by the excitation voltage (10 V) gives the full scale signal input value:

2.2875 mV/V * 10 V = 22.875 mV

Perform Calibration

To complete the span coefﬁcient calculation, begin calibrating the indicator as described in Section 4.1 on page 33.

zero_coefﬁcient value in the span coefﬁcient

The equation is the A/D count displayed after performing the WZERO calibration step. Record this value, then use the equation to calculate the span coefﬁcient.

Using the full scale signal input value determined in the example above and assuming that the value displayed after performing zero calibration was 140385, the span coefﬁcient is calculated as follows:

Span_coefﬁcient = (21000 * 22.875 mV) + 140385 = 480375 + 140385 = 620760

The span coefﬁcient value entered will be 620760. Continue calibration. Enter the full scale weight value

on the WVAL parameter (30000 in this example) then perform span calibration (WSPAN parameter). With no test weights applied to the scale, the A/D count displayed after performing the WSPAN calibration will be the same as the zero calibration value. Use the front panel keys to change the displayed value to the calculated value (620760). Save the value, then exit calibration.

5.0 EDP Commands

The IQ plus 710 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

Table 5-2. EDP Reporting Commands

Parameter setting commands allow you to display or change the current value for a particular conﬁguration parameter (Tables 5-3 through 5-12).

Current conﬁguration parameter settings can be displayed in either setup mode or normal mode using the following syntax:

command<ENTER>

Most parameter values can be changed in setup mode only; setpoint parameters listed in Table 5-8 on page 41 can be changed when in normal weighing mode.

5.1.3 The RESETCONFIGURATION Command

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 test mode (press and hold setup switch for approximately three seconds).

This command is equivalent to using the DEFAULT function in TEST mode. See Section 10.8 on page 69 for more information about test mode.

NOTE: All load

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

Use the following command syntax when changing parameter values:

command=value<ENTER>

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

??.

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

5.1.6 Batching Control Commands

The commands listed below provide batching control through the EDP port.

BATSTART

If the BATRUN digital input is on or not assigned, the BATSTART command can be used to start the batch program.

BATRESET

Stops the program and resets the batch program to the ﬁrst batch step.

BATPAUSE

Stops the batch program at the current step. All digital outputs set on by the current step are set off. The BATSTRT DIGIN, BATSTART EDP command, or a macro conﬁgured with STRTBAT=ON can be used to restart the batch program at the current step.

BATSTATUS

The BATSTATUS command is used to check the current status of various setpoint and batching conditions. BATSTATUS returns 14 bytes of status data as described in Table 5-14. BATSTATUS is principally used to provide status information to a controlling batch program when using the Remote I/O Interface option.

Status information returned in bytes 3–12 is coded as ASCII characters @ (hex 40) through O (hex 4F); only the low order bits of these characters are signiﬁcant. Table 5-14 shows the low order bit assignments for bytes 3–12. Use Table 5-15 on page 44 to interpret the status of the low order bits for a given ASCII character.

Batch Status Data Byte Values

Batch Status

Current Batch Step

Continuous Setpoint Status

Low order bits of bytes 3–4 are set on to indicate continuous setpoints for which conditions are being met. Bits are assigned to setpoint numbers as shown at right.

Digital Output Status

Low order bits of bytes 8–9 are set on to indicate active digital outputs. Bits are assigned to digital outputs as shown at right.

Digital Input / Alarm Status

Low order bits of byte 12 are set on to indicate active digital inputs and setpoint alarm status. Bits are assigned as shown at right.

Use the table at right to evaluate the ASCII character output for bytes 3 – 12 and determine which of the low order bits are set on.

For example, if the Digital Output Status returned in bytes 8 – 11 is AC@@, the table at right can be used with the bit assignments described above to determine that digital outputs 4, 7, and 8 are active:

• A (byte 8) indicates that DIGOUT 4 (bit 0) is on

• C (byte 9) indicates that DIGOUTs 7 and 8 (bits 1 and 0) are on

• @@ indicates that bytes 10 and 11 are not used

5.2 Saving and Transferring Data

Connecting a personal computer to the IQ plus 710 EDP port allows you to save indicator conﬁguration data to the PC or to download conﬁguration data from the PC to an indicator. The follo wing sections describe the procedures for these save and transfer operations.

5.2.1 Saving and Printing Indicator Data

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, send the DUMPALL EDP command to the indicator. The IQ plus 710 responds by sending all conﬁguration parameters to the PC as ASCII-formatted text.

Conﬁguration data can also be sent to the printer port: To print conﬁguration data, place the indicator in setup mode, then press the

. See Section 2.3.2 on page 6 for

ID key.

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 33.

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 710 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.

6.0 Print Formatting

The IQ plus 710 provides six print formats that determine the format of the printed output when the PRINT key is pressed or when a KPRINT EDP command is received. Supported print formats are: GFMT, NFMT, EDPFMT, TRWIN, TRWOUT, and SPFMT. A fourth format, HDRFMT, allows speciﬁcation of up to 300 characters of ticket header information for use on GFMT, NFMT, and EDPFMT tickets. The contents of the HDRFMT format can be inserted into any other ticket format using the <AE> formatting command.

The particular ticket format used for a given print operation depends on the indicator conﬁguration (see Table 6-2 on page 46).

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

6.1 Print Formatting Commands

Table 6-1 lists commands you can use to format the IQ plus 710 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.

6.3 Customizing Print Formats

The following sections describe procedures for customizing print formats using the EDP port, the front panel (PFORMT menu), and the Revolution conﬁguration utility.

6.3.1 Using the EDP Port

With a personal computer, terminal, or remote keyboard attached to the IQ plus 710 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 print format and press example, to check the current conﬁguration of the GFMT format, type GFMT and press indicator responds by sending the current conﬁguration for the gross format:

GFMT=<G> GROSS<NL>

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

GFMT=MOE'S DUMP<NL>2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2><G> GROSS<NL>

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

MOE'S DUMP 2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD SMALLTOWN

ENTER. For

ENTER. The

6.3.2 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 6-2 on page

48) 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 710 front panel (see the ASCII character chart on page 65) and are shown as blanks. The IQ plus 710 can send or receive any ASCII character; the character printed depends on the particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.

6.3.3 Using Revolution

The Revolution 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 6-1 shows an example of the Revolution print formatting grid.

1345 LB GROSS

The ticket above could also be formatted by specifying the company address information in the HDRFMT ticket format, then substituting the <AE> command for the address in the GFMT ticket format:

HDRFMT=MOE'S DUMP<NL>2356 EAST HIGHWAY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2>

GFMT=<AE><G> GROSS<NL>

7.0 Truck Modes

The truck in/out modes are used to handle multiple truck ID numbers and tare weights. Six truck modes combine stored ID, keyed tare, and value swapping features in various ways:

Value

Mode Stored IDs Keyed Tares

MODE1 NO YES YES MODE2 NO NO YES MODE3 YES YES YES MODE4 YES NO YES MODE5 YES YES NO MODE6 YES NO NO

OFF

Table 7-1. Truck Mode Features

Stored IDs let you keep a database of truck IDs and

Swapping

tare weights in the indicator’s memory. The indicator can automatically store up to 100 truck IDs and tares; or it can clear the information after printing a weigh-out ticket. For example, if the same truck seldom crosses the scale, it may not be practical to save its ID number and tare weight. However, if that same truck crosses the scale many times each day, it’s much more convenient to store the information in the indicator memory and recall it when needed. Stored IDs and tare weights are available in Modes 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Keyed tares allow you to manually enter the tare

weight using the numeric keypad and the

TARE key.

Keyed tares are available in Modes 1, 3, and 5.

NOTE: Some local regulations require the tare weight

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

Value swapping ensures that the lowest of two

weight values associated with a particular ID number is entered as the tare weight. For example, if a truck crosses the scale fully loaded at weigh-in, then unloads and crosses the scale empty at weigh-out, the indicator automatically assigns the lesser (empty truck) weight as the tare. Value swapping is available in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4.

T o select a truck in/out mode, press the setup switch to enter setup mode. Use the navigation keys to go to the PROGRM menu, then to the TARE100 submenu. Figure 7-1 shows the structure of the TARE100 submenu.

8.0 Setpoints

The IQ plus 710 indicator provides eight programmable setpoints for control of both indicator and external equipment functions. Setpoints are conﬁgured to trip based on speciﬁed conditions; tripping the setpoint can be used to request indicator functions (print, tare, accumulate) or to change the state of a digital output controlling external equipment.

Figure 8-1 shows the general structure of the SETPNTS menu. See Section 3.2.7 on page 27 for a detailed description of the SETPNTS menu. The eight setpoint kinds are described in Table 8-1 on page 52.

8.1 Batch and Continuous Setpoints

IQ plus 710 setpoints can be either continuous or batch setpoints.

Continuous setpoints are free-running: the indicator

constantly checks the input channel for the setpoint value at each A/D update. If the input channel weight reading matches the setpoint value, the indicator sets the corresponding digital output on.

Batch setpoints are active one at a time, in an ordered

sequence. The IQ plus 710 can use batch setpoints to control up to eight separate batch processing steps. A digital output associated with a batch setpoint is on until the setpoint condition is met, then latched for the remainder of the batch sequence.

To use batch setpoints, you must activate the BATCHNG parameter on the SETPNTS menu. This parameter deﬁnes whether a batch sequence is automatic or manual. AUTO sequences repeat continuously, while MANUAL sequences require a BATSTRT digital input or STRTBAT macro command before restarting. As shown in Table 8-1 on page 52, GROSSSP, NETSP, and –RELSP setpoint kinds can be conﬁgured as either batch or continuous setpoints.

The BATCH parameter must also be set on for each batch setpoint. If the setpoint is deﬁned but the BATCH parameter is off, the setpoint operates as a continuous setpoint, even during batch sequences.

Setpoints 51

Page 55

Kind Description Batch Continuous

OFF Setpoint turned off/ignored. GROSSSP Gross setpoint. Trips when the current gross weight matches this value. √√ NETSP Net setpoint. Trips when the current net weight matches this value. √√ –RELSP Negative relative setpoint. Trips at a speciﬁc value below the referenced

√√

setpoint.

PAUSE Pauses the batch sequence indeﬁnitely. Operator must activate the BATSTRT

√

digital input to continue processing.

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

√

tenths of a second) is speciﬁed on the Value parameter. WAITSS Wait for standstill. Pauses the batch sequence until the scale is at standstill. √ TIMER Tracks the progress of a batch sequence based on a timer.

√

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

determines the length of time allowed between start and end setpoints. The

indicator START and END parameters are used to specify the start and end

setpoints. If the END setpoint is not reached before the timer expires, the digital

output associated with this setpoint is activated. CONCUR Allows a digital output to remain active over a speciﬁed portion of the batch

√

sequence. Two types of concur setpoints can be conﬁgured:

Type 1: The digital output associated with this setpoint becomes active when

the START setpoint becomes the current batch step and remains active until

the END setpoint becomes the current batch step.

Type 2: The digital output associated with this setpoint becomes active when

the START setpoint becomes the current batch step and remains active until a

timer expires.

The indicator START and END parameters specify the start and end setpoints.

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

8.2 Batching Examples

8.2.1 Example 1

The following example uses seven setpoints to dispense material from a container in 100 and to automatically reﬁll the container when its weight drops below 300

LB.

Digital inputs 1 and 2 are assigned to batch start and batch run functions: BATRUN must be on (low) before the BATSTRT input starts the batch.

DIGIN1=BATSTRT DIGIN2=BATRUN BATCHNG=MANUAL

Setpoint 1 ensures that the container has enough material to start the batch. If the container weight is

LB or higher, setpoint 1 is tripped.

300

SETPOINT=1 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=300 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON ACCESS=ON

Setpoint 2 waits for standstill, then performs a tare to put the indicator into net mode.

SETPOINT=2 KIND=WAITSS PSHTARE=ON ACCESS=ON

Setpoint 3 is used as a reference (relative setpoint) for setpoint 4 and is tripped with a weight of 0±2

SETPOINT=3 KIND=NETSP VALUE=0 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=OFF ACCESS=ON

Setpoint 4 is used to dispense material from the container. When the container weight falls to 100 less than its weight at the relative setpoint (setpoint 3), digital output 1 is set off.

SETPOINT=4 KIND=–RELSP VALUE=100 TRIP=LOW BATCH=ON ACCESS=ON DIGOUT=1 RELNUM=3

LB batches

LB.

Setpoint 5 is a short (.2-second) delay used to provide an end point for a timer setpoint (setpoint 6).

SETPOINT=5 KIND=DELAY VALUE=2 ACCESS=ON

Setpoint 6 is used to ensure that the operation performed in setpoint 4 is completed within 10 seconds. The START and END parameters identify the setpoints monitored by the timer. If the timer expires before setpoint 5 starts, digital output 4 is turned on as an alarm to signal a process fault.

SETPOINT=6 KIND=TIMER VALUE=100 START=4 END=5 ACCESS=ON DIGOUT=4

Setpoint 7 is a continuous setpoint, used to maintain the material level in the container. When the container weight falls below 300

LB (VALUE – HYSTERESIS),

digital output 2 is turned on and the container reﬁlled to 1000

LB.

SETPOINT=7 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=300 TRIP=HIGHER HYSTER=700 BATCH=ON ACCESS=ON DIGOUT=2

The ACCESS parameter should be set ON when creating and testing batch routines. Once the batching routine is complete and ready for production, ACCESS can be set to OFF to prevent changes to the conﬁgured setpoint value, or to HIDE to prevent changing or viewing the value.

Setpoints 53

Page 57

8.2.2 Example 2

The following example uses seven setpoints to control a two-speed ﬁll operation where both fast and slow feeds are on simultaneously.

Digital inputs 1 and 2 are assigned to batch start and batch run functions: BATRUN must be on (low) before the BATSTRT input starts the batch.

DIGIN1=BATSTRT DIGIN2=BATRUN BATCHNG=MANUAL

Setpoint 1 ensures that the scale is empty (0±2 LB).

SETPOINT=1 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=0 TRIP=INBAND BANDVAL=2 BATCH=ON

Setpoint 5 controls the slow ﬁll operation. When the net weight reaches 200

LB, the slow ﬁll is stopped

(see Setpoint 7), the indicator waits for standstill and performs a push print operation using the SPFMT ticket format.

SETPOINT=5 KIND=NETSP VALUE=200 PSHPRINT=WAITSS TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON DIGOUT=2

Setpoint 6 is a short (.2-second) delay used to provide an end point for a concur setpoint (setpoint 7).

SETPOINT=6 KIND=DELAY VALUE=2

Setpoint 2 checks for the weight of a container (≥ 5

LB) placed on the scale.

SETPOINT=2 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=5 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON

Setpoint 3 waits for standstill, then tares the container weight, placing the indicator in net mode.

SETPOINT=3 KIND=WAITSS PSHTARE=ON

Setpoint 4 starts the fast ﬁll operation. When the net weight reaches 175

LB, the setpoint trips and digital

output 1 is set off.

SETPOINT=4 KIND=NETSP VALUE=175 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON DIGOUT=1

Setpoint 7 is a continuous setpoint, used to allow the slow feed output to be on at the same time as the fast ﬁll. The slow ﬁll output (digital output 2) is turned on when setpoint 4 (fast ﬁll) starts and remains on until setpoint 5 (slow ﬁll) reaches 200

SETPOINT=7 KIND=CONCUR VALUE=0 START=4 END=5 DIGOUT=2

9.0 Macro Programming

Up to four macro sequences can be programmed for the IQ plus 710 indicator. Each macro provides a simulation of up to 30 front panel key presses and can be used to provide single-key, automated operation of a number of processes, including operator identiﬁcation, prompts, setpoint editing, and batch control.

9.1 Using the Macro Submenu

Macros can be programmed using the front panel, EDP commands, or the Revolution conﬁguration utility. Figure 9-1 shows the structure of the MACRO submenu under the PROGRM menu; Table 9-1 on page 56 describes each of the MACRO submenu parameters.

The PSEUDO parameter allows simulation of a pseudo key for the macro step. Pseudo keys are keypad functions not represented by an actual front panel key.

For example, the PRIM pseudo key displays the primary units conﬁgured for the indicator, but there is no actual primary units key on the front panel. The PRIM and SEC pseudo keys are used to explicitly request primary or secondary units display; the UNITS front panel key toggles between primary and secondary units, depending on which is displayed at the time the key is pressed.

9.2.1 Example 1

The following example uses a macro to provide operator prompts for a simple container ﬁlling procedure. The single setpoint is used to check for a full container; when tripped, the setpoint releases the pause in step 3 of the macro.

With the indicator in setup mode, the following EDP commands are sent to program the setpoint and assign prompts used by the macro.

SETPOINT=1 KIND=NETSP VALUE=200 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=OFF DIGOUT=NONE BATCHNG=OFF

PROMPT#1=ADD BOX PROMPT#2=ADD MATERIAL PROMPT#3=REMOVE BOX

NOTE: Prompts are assigned using the PROMPT#n

1. The ﬁrst macro step displays the prompt ADD

BOX on the secondary display and waits for

scale motion caused by the operator placing the box on the scale. When scale motion stops, the pause is released and the macro continues.

2. The macro performs a tare operation, taring the box weight and placing the indicator in net mode.

3. The secondary display prompts the operator

Page 61

9.2.2 Example 2

The following example uses a combination of macros and batch routines to control a ﬁlling operation. The operation includes ﬁlling a container with two ingredients, pausing the batch for a mixing operation, then adding a third ingredient.

With the indicator in setup mode, the following EDP commands are sent to program the setpoints and assign prompts used by the macros.

SETPOINT=1 KIND=NETSP VALUE=5 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON DIGOUT=1

SETPOINT=2 KIND=NETSP VALUE=10 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON DIGOUT=2

Digital input 1 is connected to a batching switch and conﬁgured as a BATRUN input. The batching switch must be on to enable the STRTBAT (batch start) commands in the macros.

Digital inputs 2–4 are wired from digital outputs 3, 5, and 6: When the setpoints associated with the digital outputs are tripped, the output activates the digital input to start the next macro.

DIGIN1=BATRUN DIGIN2=KF2 DIGIN3=KF3 DIGIN4=KF1

The macros shown below begin when the operator presses the F1 macro key:

1. MACRO 1 displays the prompt

2. The macro performs a tare operation, taring the bucket weight and placing the indicator in net mode.

3. The

STRTBAT=ON macro statement starts the

batch once the tare operation is complete.

4. The batch starts, adding Ingredient A until the bucket net weight reaches 5 LB (see

conﬁguration above). When setpoint 2 trips,

DIGOUT 2 goes off and Ingredient B stops

ﬁlling.

6. Setpoint 3 is a pause setpoint used to activate digital output 3. Digital output 3 is wired to DIGIN2 as a KF2 (press MACRO key F2) input and starts MACRO 2.

8. Setpoint 4 adds Ingredient C until the bucket net weight reaches 15 LB (see

SETPOINT 4

conﬁguration).When setpoint 4 trips, DIGOUT

4 goes off and Ingredient C stops ﬁlling.

9. Setpoint 5 waits for standstill then prints ticket using the SPFMT ticket format.

10. Setpoint 6 is a pause setpoint used to activate digital output 5. Digital output 5 is wired to DIGIN3 as a KF3 (press MACRO key F3 input and starts MACRO 3.

9.2.3 Example 3

The following example describes how a series of macros can be programmed to provide single-key reprogramming of setpoint values. Table 9-2 shows the values of three setpoints used to ﬁll different proportions of ingredients for three products.

Setpoint Values PRODUCT A PRODUCT B PRODUCT C

INGRED 1 100 150 110 INGRED 2 200 250 210 INGRED 3 300 280 290

Table 9-2. Setpoint Values for Three-Ingredient Products

With the indicator in setup mode, the following EDP commands are sent to program three gross setpoints to their initial values and assign setpoint names used by the macros.

SETPOINT=1 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=100 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON ACCESS=ON NAME=1 DIGOUT=1

SETPOINT=2 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=200 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON ACCESS=ON NAME=2 DIGOUT=2

SETPOINT=3 KIND=GROSSSP VALUE=300 TRIP=HIGHER BATCH=ON ACCESS=ON NAME=3 DIGOUT=3

BATCHNG=MANUAL

PROMPT#1=INGRED 1 PROMPT#2=INGRED 2 PROMPT#3=INGRED 3 PROMPT#4=LOAD PRODUCT A PROMPT#5=LOAD PRODUCT B PROMPT#6=LOAD PRODUCT C

Next, three macros are programmed to allow reassignment of the setpoint values for each of the three products.

Each macro uses the setpoint value: the call up setpoint 1; press setpoint 2. Each time the

SETPOINT key to change the

SETPOINT key is pressed once to

SETPOINT again to call up

SETPOINT key is pressed,

the value of the next setpoint is shown. The three macros listed below reset the setpoint values

for PRODUCT A, PRODUCT B, and PRODUCT C. MACRO1 sets the values of setpoints 1–3 to the initial values listed above.

NOTES:

• When the front panel

SETPOINT key is

pressed, the indicator normally waits before showing the setpoint value. To accommodate this delay, a timer is inserted before each setpoint value entry.

• Pause release parameters (PAUSREL, NAME, TIMEOUT) are entered on separate EDP commands, but are treated as a single keystroke.

10.1 Error Messages

The IQ plus 710 indicator provides a number of error messages. When an error occurs, the message is shown on the indicator display . Error conditions can also be checked remotely by using the XE EDP command as described in Section 10.1.2.

10.1.1 Displayed Error Messages

The IQ plus 710 provides a number of front panel error messages to assist in problem diagnosis. Table 10-1 lists these messages and their meanings.

Table 10-1. IQ plus 710 Error Messages

10.1.2 Using the XE EDP Command

The XE EDP command can be used to remotely query the IQ plus 710 for the error conditions shown on the front panel. The XE command returns two 5-digit numbers in the format:

xxxxx yyyyy

where xxxxx contains a decimal representation of any existing error conditions as described in Table 10-2. If more than one error condition exists, the number returned is the sum of the values representing the error

conditions. For example, if the XE command returns the number 288, this value represents the sum of an A/D reference error (256) and an A/D calibration checksum error (32).

The second number returned ( whether the test for the error condition was run. For example, the value

yyyyy) uses the same bit assignments as shown in Table 10-2 on page 63 to indicate

yyyyy = 50687 represents the decimal

equivalent of the binary value 1100 0101 1111 1111. Using the bit assignments in Table 10-2, this indicates all tests were run except the accumulator overﬂow and NV register checksum tests.

10.3.2 Demand Output Serial Data Format

When demand mode is conﬁgured for the EDP or printer port in the setup menus (PRNDEST on the SERIAL menu), the IQ plus 710 uses a data string formatted for a basic ticket printout. The particular ticket format printed depends on the indicator conﬁguration.

You can use the EDP port or keypad to fully customize the ticket to work with a wide variety of printers, scoreboard displays, and other remote equipment. See Section 6.0 on page 45 for more information on custom print formats.

10.3.3 RS-485 Data Formats

The IQ plus 710 has a built-in RS-485 software protocol which is enabled when you assign a non-zero address to the indicator. Valid RS-485 addresses must be in the range 1–255; the address is speciﬁed on the ADDRESS parameter on the SERIAL menu.

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

If the initiating device address matches the port address of an IQ plus 710 on the RS-485 network, that indicator responds. For example, with demand outputs, or in response to a KPRINT command, the responding indicator uses the format shown in Figure 10-3:

Figure 10-3. RS-485 Respond Data Format

Example:

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

• The keyboard equivalent for the start-of-text

STX) character is CONTROL-B (see

( Table 10-3 on page 65).

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

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

ENTER key.

Therefore, to send the KPRINT command to the indicator at address 65, enter the following at the terminal:

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

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

10.5 Digital Filtering

Standard digital ﬁltering uses mathematical averaging to eliminate the variant digital readings that the A/D converter sends periodically because of external vibration. Digital ﬁltering does not affect the indicator measurement rate, but does affect the settling time. The selections from 1 to 256 reﬂect the number of readings averaged per update period. When a reading is encountered that is outside a predetermined band, the averaging is overridden, and the display jumps directly to the new value.

RATTLETRAP followed by the letters RT) uses a vibration-dampening algorithm to provide a combination of the best features of analog and digital ﬁltering. The RATTLETRAP algorithm evaluates the frequency of a repeating vibration then derives a composite displayed weight equal to the actual weight on the scale less the vibration-induced ﬂaws. It is particularly effective for eliminating vibration effects or mechanical interference from nearby machinery. RT selections eliminate much more mechanical vibration than standard digital ﬁltering, but usually also increase settling time over standard digital ﬁltering.

10.5.1 DFSENS and DFTHRH Parameters

The digital ﬁlter can be used by itself 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.

digital ﬁltering (DIGFLTR values

10.5.2 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 the digital ﬁlter (DIGFLTR parameter) 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 DIGFLTR parameter to eliminate the vibration effects on the scale. (Leave DFTHRH set to NONE.) Find the lowest effective value for the DIGFLTR parameter.

4. 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 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.

10.6 Conversion Factors for Secondary Units

The IQ plus 710 has the capability to mathematically convert a weight into man y dif ferent types of units and instantly display those results with a press of the

UNITS key.

Secondary units can be speciﬁed on the FORMAT menu using the SECNDR parameter, or by using EDP commands.

• To conﬁgure secondary units using the front panel menus, use the Table 10-5 to ﬁnd the conversion multiplier for the MULT

parameter. For example, if the primary unit is pounds and the secondary unit is short tons, set the MULT parameter to 0.000500.

• To conﬁgure secondary units using EDP commands, use the Table 10-5 to ﬁnd the conversion multiplier for the SEC.MULT command. For example, if the primary unit is pounds and the secondary unit is short tons, send the EDP command SEC.MULT=

0.0005<CR> to set the multiplier for the secondary units.

Appendix 67

Page 71

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 (

OVERFL).

For example, if the primary units are short tons, secondary units are pounds, and the secondary decimal point is set to 8888.888, 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.

1. Disconnect indicator from power source.

2. Place indicator face-down on an antistatic work mat. Remove screws that hold the backplate to the enclosure body.

Warning

3. Loosen all in-use cord grips then lift the backplate away from the enclosure and set it aside.

Caution

4. For units using the Rev. 1 CPU board with cable interface board, remove the four screws that secure the interface board to its mounting brackets. The interface board must be moved to access the EPROM in the following step.

5. Locate the EPROM (see Figure 2-1 on page

5). Carefully remove old EPROM from socket.

6. Remove new EPROM from packaging and place on top of empty socket. Ensure EPROM is correctly oriented (notch toward center of CPU board) and all pins are aligned with socket. Press down ﬁrmly to seat new EPROM in the socket.

Disconnect power before removing indicator backplate.

Use a wrist strap to ground yourself and protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working inside the indicator enclosure.

7. For units using the Rev. 1 CPU board with cable interface board, reinstall board using screws removed in Step 4.

8. Position backplate over the enclosure and reinstall the backplate screws. Use the torque pattern shown in Figure 2-2 on page 7 to prevent distorting the backplate gasket. Torque backplate screws to 10 in-lb (1.13 N-m).

9. Ensure no excess cable is left inside the enclosure and tighten cord grips.

10. Reconnect power to the indicator.

11. Remove the setup switch access screw on the indicator backplate then set the indicator upright.

12. Press and hold the setup switch until the front panel display shows the word
