1.4 MSI-7300 Annunciators

The Dyna-Link 2 uses LCD annunciators to indicate tension mode and other

information.

Stable – indicates the tension force has settled within the motion window (usually ±1d). When standstill is off, the link will not zero, tare, or totalize.

Pk Ttl

Net

Center-of-Zero – Indicates the tens

Low Battery – Appears when approximately 10% of battery life remains. The BT symbol blinks when automatic shutdown is imminent.

PEAK- Indicates peak hold mode.

TOTAL – Indicates the unit is displaying the total accumulated weight. This is a temporary display lasting less than five seconds.

NET – Indicates the unit is in the net tension mode. A tare weight is subtracted from the gross tension.

Metric Ton – In conjunction with the ton annunciator, indicates the unit is displaying metric tons. When used with the total display, it is used for X1000 to allow accumulation of weight beyond the five digit display capacity. It is also used with the service counters when the number of lifts exceeds five digits.

kg – Indicates tension display is in kilograms.

kN – Indicates the tension display is in kilonewtons.

lb – Indicates tension display is in pounds.

Ton – Illuminated alone, indicates the unit is displaying in US short tons (1 ton = 2000 lb). When illuminated along with the ‘M’ the unit is displaying in metric tons (1 metric ton = 1000 kg)

SETPOINTS – User programmable setpoints for early overload warnings. Setpoints 1 and 2 are high brightness red LEDs

F1 F2 – These blue LEDs are used to indicate various operational features of functions programmed into the F1 and F2 keys. Example: In peak hold mode the associated LED will blink whenever a new peak reading is captured.

The BT annunciator starts to blink, the batteries are close to being completely drained. For maximum life, use the batteries until the system shuts off.

Rechargeable Batteries

When using Nickle-Metal-Hydride are recharged immediately after the BT annunciator starts to blink. Do not allow the batteries to discharge completely, it may compromise the recharge life of the battery.

NiMH Cells in C and D sizes have a lower capacity then the MSI recommends having two sets of NiMH batteries, so one set can be charging while the other is in use.

NiMH ‘D’ cells are often repackaged ‘C’ cells so you don’t get an increase in battery life for Dyna-Links large enough for ‘D’ cells.

The use of NiCad batteries is not recommended.

If the Dyna-Link 2 will not be used for an extended period, the batteries should be

removed. A small current is used when powered off which will discharge the batteries in about six months.

3.2 TEST

The TEST function provides an LCD test that lights all LCD segments and the LED at once and then counts from 00000 to 99999. Other internal tests are performed and if any test fails, an error code will display. See Section 7.2 for a description of all error codes.

There are four modes of totalizing: manual and three auto

The manual mode requires the tension will then be added to the previously accumulated value. This assures that a weight on the scale is only added to the total once. Both the manual and three auto total modes require that the tension on the Dyna-Link return below 0.5% (relative to full scale) of GROSS ZERO or NET ZERO before the next weighment can be added. Applied weight must be ≥1% of full scale above GROSS ZERO or NET ZERO before it can be totaled.

occurs only once the scale goes below the threshold. This allows the load to be adjusted without a total occurring. Once the load is removed, the scale uses the last settled reading for total.

h – Similar to the AutoNorm mode except the scale uses the highest

settled reading. Useful for loads that can’t be removed all at once.

3.4 Clear Total

The Fx-VIEW TOTAL key activates the total weight display followed by the number of samples. While the display is showing the total, total is cleared by pressing ZERO.

3.5 Net / Gross

Switches the display between net and gross modes. Net tension is defined as gross tension minus a tare weight.

To switch between net mode and gross mode:

1. Press the Fx-NetGross key (setup to the net/gross function).

2. The

Fx-NetGross key will only function if a tare value has been established.

3. Switching back to gross mode from net mode will not clear the tare value. This all

ows the operator to use the gross mode temporarily without having to reestablish the tare value. Only clearing the tare or setting a new tare will change the tare value held before switching into gross mode.

3.6 TARE

In force measurement applications, tare is useful as a way to display differential force. By taring out a known force, only positive and negative deviations from the tared force are displayed. This can also increase accuracy as any initial error is removed leaving only slope error. In scale applications, tare is typically used to zero out a known weight such as rigging, a packing container, or pallet and display the load in

NET tension/weight. To use tare, one of the two function keys must be configured to

the

TARE function. A tare value is entered by pressing the Fx-TARE key. The TARE

function in the Dyna-Link 2 is defined as a tare-in/tare-out operation. The first press

of the

Fx-TARE key stores the current tension/weight as a tare value and then the

Dyna-Link subtracts the tare value from the gross tension and changes the display to

NET mode. The next press of the Fx-TARE key will clear the tare value and revert the

display to permanently available.

3.7 PEAK HOLD

Peak hold will only update the display when a higher peak tension reading is established. The peak hold function uses a high speed mode of the A/D converter allowing it to capture transient tensions at a far higher rate than typical dynamometers.

Peak hold is cleared and re enabled with the Fx-Peak detected, the Fx LED will flash three times. The accuracy of the system in peak hold mode is slightly reduced to .2% of capacity ± 5d. The filter setting is turned off while in peak hold mode to ensure the fastest acquisition rate.

Changing the filter settings allows the Dyna-Link to adjust to situations where there is a lot of movement in the lift or the crane structure. If the reading is not stable, it can often be improved by increasing the filter setting. Settling time will be longer as the

filter setting is increased. However, the MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 employs algorithms

that speed up large tension changes while still controlling vibration even with higher filter settings.

The Dyna-Link 2 is calibrated using standard precision test weights. It is required that

the weight used is at least 10% of full capacity in order to achieve rated accuracy. For example, use at least a 500kg test weight to calibrate a 5000kg capacity unit. The

a constant calibration which is referred to as C-Cal. To use C-Cal, a factory generated C-Cal number must be known. MSI supplies original and replacement load cells for

the Dyna-Link 2 with the C-Cal value stamped on the serial number label.

There are three aspects of calibration:

• Standard calibration - used for maintenance and routine calibration.

• Initial calibration - used to setup both the capacity and resolution (d) of the DynaLink

It differs from standard calibration only in the initial steps. Initial

. calibration is performed after a calibration reset which completely erases the calibration and setup memory.

• C-Cal - If C-Cal values are known, the Dyna-Link can be calibrated without weights.

5.3 Guidelines for Capacity and Resolution

Note

Dyna-Links are subject to forces that static scales do not experience. Many bridge cranes, hoist cranes, and mobile cranes lack rigidity and tend to bounce or swing when loads are lifted. For this reason, MSI recommends that resolution is kept in the 1:2000 to 1:3000 range. Some improvement in stability can be achieved by increasing the filtering. However, you should never program resolution that is far greater than

you need. If the MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 display is never stable, it is recommended that

the resolution is reduced as well as filtering increased. In any circumstance, the resolution should never be set higher than 1:15000 due to temperature and noise considerations common to all strain gage based load cells.

The tension must be stable for certain features to work: ZERO tension mu to be zeroed. TARE tension must be stable to be tared. TOTAL tension must be stable to be added to the total registers. One way to improve the stability is to increase the filtering, at the risk of increasing settling time. The other is to increase the ‘d’ (reduce

resolution). The third way is to increase the motion window. The MSI-7300 Dyna- Link 2 defaults to ±1d as a motion window. It can be changed at MSI to a higher value

if desired. Often ±3d is chosen for bridge cranes as these tend to have a lot of bounce to them. This of course carries an accuracy penalty adding ±3 d to the total accuracy of the Dyna-Link if the zero or tare operation happens to capture the tension in a valley or peak.

Setting capacity is dictated primarily by the cap

the MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 in many capacities. Never set the capacity of the D yna- Link higher than the rating of the load cell. Due to the excellent linearity of the

MSI Link load cell, it is acceptable to set lower capacities to better match the crane

the MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 is used on. For example, if the hoist is rated for 9000lb,

you can use a 10000 lb capacity Dyna-Link and reset the capacity to 9000 lb so that the Dyna-Link will indicate overload at 9000 lb instead of 100000 lb. Derating as much as 50% of the capacity is usually acceptable, but the Dyna-Link may be less stable if the ‘d’ is decreased (resolution increased).

The capacity of all the MSI-7300 systems is rated approximately 20% higher than the rated capacity in pounds. This is to allow the kg capacity to be exactly 1/2 the number of the pounds capacity.

When adequate test weights are not available, the MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 can be

calibrated using a cal number calibration which is referred to as C-Cal. To use C-Cal, a factory generated C-Cal number must be known. MSI supplies replacement load

cells for the MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 with the C-Cal value stamped on the serial

number label. When a calibration is preformed with test weights, a new C-Cal is generated.

The C-Cal number must be known prior to starting this procedure. For a MSI-7300 with its original load cell, MSI prints this number on the Calibration Record, the serial number tag. CCalibration reduces slightly the absolute accuracy of the system and is intended for non-critical use only. For highest accuracy, calibrate the MSI-7300 with precision test weights.

The Dyna-Link 2 employs an auto zeroing maintenance mechanism to adjust the zero

reading to the center-of-zero (COZ). COZ is defined as the tension reading is within ¼’d’ of zero. AZM continuously adjusts zero to maintain COZ. It is recommended that AZM is on to maintain the highest accuracy. However, there are circumstances when it should be turned off. This can happen when minor variations of tension occur while picking up Dyna-Link attachments and the variations fall within the AZM capture window. The AZM capture window (usually 1 ‘d’) and capture time (usually eight seconds) can be adjusted by MSI to meet custom requirements.

6.1 RF Option

Since the RF options are easily connected they are commonly used for gathering

7.4 Firmware Update Procedure

Note

Updating firmware in the MSI-7300 requires the following: a DCE serial cable (MSI

503363-001, or build per DCE cable schematic on page 22), a PC with a terminal program (“Teraterm Pro” recommended), and if the PC does not have standard RS-232 serial ports, then a USB to serial converter. Make sure the driver for the USB converter is properly installed, and that the terminal program is set up for the proper comm port.

The latest firmware code is available from the

on request. Your firmware version is displayed when the MSI-7300 is turned on in the

form of “01-04” (your version will vary). Most firmware updates do not require a recallibration. Consult the version release notes for confirmation.

1. Setup the terminal serial port to 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, 9600 BAUD, XON/ XOFF (flo

w control).

2. Connect to the Dyna-Link serial port using connector to your PC or USB adapter.

3. (Optional) Test that you have a connection by good the Dyna-Link will respond with {000001r2;0;01E02;2011-07-08;11:05} or something similar.

4. On the terminal keyboard, type {ff0009

5. Change the terminal serial port to 38400 BAUD. Hit the ‘q’ key to refresh the display

. Cycle Power on MSI-7300 by removing and reinstalling batteries. The
