The J4 connector (Section 2.5 on page 10) is intended to provide a connection point for the RS-485/422 serial communications.
See Table 2-5 for the pin assignments for the J4 connector.
The Digital I/O port, J5 connector (Section 2.5 on page 10) is intended to be connected to both digital inputs and outputs.
Digital inputs can be set to provide many functions, including most keypad functions except MENU. Digital inputs are active low
(0 VDC) and inactive high (5 VDC). Use the Digital I/O menu to configure the digital inputs.
Digital outputs are used to control relays which drive other equipment. Outputs are designed to sink, rather than source current.
Each output is an open collector circuit, capable of sinking 20 mA when active. Digital outputs are active when low or at 0 VDC,
with reference to the 5 VDC supply.
Use the Digital I/O menu to set the function of the Digital I/O pins to OUTPUT and then use the Setpoints menu to configure the
digital outputs. See Table 2-6 for the pin assignments for the J5 connector.

2.4.7Micro USB Device Communications
The Micro USB port, J7 connector (Section 2.5 on page 10), is intended to be connected to a PC only. It appears as a Virtual
COM Port and is assigned a “COMx” designation. Applications communicate through the port like a standard RS-232
communications port.
The driver must be installed on the PC before the Micro USB device port can be used. With the PC and 680 powered on, connect
a USB cable from the PC to the micro USB connector (J7) on the 680. The PC recognizes if a device has been connected, and
attempts to install the driver needed to make it work. The driver can also be downloaded from the Rice Lake website.
If using Windows 7 or later and the PC is connected to the Internet, the operating system may be able to install the
drivers automatically.
When the individual drivers are installed, a new COM Port designation is assigned for each physical USB port the 680 is
connected to on the PC.
For example, if the PC has two physical RS-232 COM Ports, they most likely are designated COM1 and COM2. When
connecting the 680 to a USB port on the PC, it is assigned the next available port designation, or in this case, COM3. When
plugging into the same physical USB port on the PC, the port designation is again COM3. If plugging into another physical USB
port on the PC, it is assigned the next available designation, in this case COM4.
®
After the drivers are installed, use Windows
Device Manager to determine the COM Port designation which was assigned to
the USB port, or open the application to be used with the 680, such as Revolution, to see which ports are available.
Configuration of the Micro USB port is done in the USBCOM sub-menu under PORTS in setup mode.
The port can be configured as either a demand port for EDP commands and printing, or as a data streaming port. Other settings
include the termination character(s), echoes, responses, the end-of-line delay and whether or not the 680 displays a 'print'
message when a print format sends data out the port.
If a computer application has an open communications connection through the Micro USB device port and the
physical cable connection is interrupted, a soft reset must be performed on the 680 or the power must be cycled to
the 680; the connection in the computer application must be disconnected and then reconnected before it continues
to communicate with the 680.
For the Micro USB device port, it does not matter what the settings are for Baud, Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bits in the
computer software. The port communicates in the same way regardless of these settings.
This port is not a host port and is not intended to be connected to other devices such as keyboards, memory sticks
or printers.

Note
2.4.8Ethernet
The 680 features Ethernet TCP/IP 10Base-T/100Base-TX communication using the J8 connector (Section 2.5 on page 10),
and can support two simultaneous connections, one as a server, the other as a client.
Through an Ethernet network, software applications can communicate with the 680 using the EDP command set (Section 7.0
on page 44), or data can be streamed continuously from the 680, or printed on demand.
The Ethernet port supports both DHCP and manual configuration of settings such as the IP and netmask. In addition, the TCP
Port number, and the Default Gateway can be configured using the Ethernet sub-menu of the Ports setup menu. For more
information on configuring the Ethernet port see Section 4.4.4.3 on page 30.
Physical connection to the 680 Ethernet port can be made directly from a PC to the 680 (AdHoc Network), or through a network
router or switch. The port supports auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cable configuration, allowing either straight-through or crossover
cables to be used. See Table 2-7 for the pin assignments for the J8 connector.

There are two types of configuration parameters in the 680, setup mode parameters (or Legal for Trade configuration) and user
mode parameters (or non-legal configuration). Setup mode parameters are accessed by pressing the setup switch
User mode parameters are accessed by pressing the menu button and do not require pressing the setup switch.
The following sections provide graphic representations of the 680 menu structures. Most menu diagrams are accompanied by a
table which describes all parameters and parameter values associated with the menu. The factory default setting appears at the
top of each column in bold type.
The audit, setpoints, accumulator, tare, time, date, Mac ID and version menus can be accessed by pressing .
The top-level setpoints menu displays the setpoint value of configured setpoints and is accessible with the menu
button. Complete configuration of setpoints is under the setup menu and requires the setup switch for access.
The setup menu are accessed by pressing the setup switch (Section 4.1).
All weight related parameters must be configured prior to calibrating the unit.
4.1Setup Switch
In order to configure the 680, it must be placed in setup mode with the setup switch. The setup switch is accessed through a
small hole on the bottom of the enclosure. Remove the setup switch screw and insert a non-conductive tool into the access hole
to press the setup switch.
Use caution when inserting the non-conductive tool into the enclosure. Insert the tool about 3/4'' (19 mm), until
the switch is engaged. Do not use excessive force which could damage the switch.
(Section 4.1).

detailed breakdown of this menu. Torque the setup switch screw to 10 in-lb (1.1 N-m) when reinserting.
4.1.1Audit Jumper
The audit jumper (J24) turns setup mode access on and off. Access to setup mode is allowed without pressing the setup switch
when the audit jumper is in the on position. Access to setup mode requires pressing the setup switch when the audit jumper is in
the off position. See
In certain Legal for Trade applications it is necessary to seal the indicator to restrict access to the setup switch
(Section 2.7 on page 11). Breaking of the seal terminates the Legal for Trade status of the indicator.

5.2Alternative Zero Calibrations
During a calibration, the zero value (wzero) can be replaced with a temporary zero (tmpzero) or last zero (lstzero). A
rezero (
5.2.1Last Zero
This takes the last push-button zero in the system (from weigh mode) and uses it as the new zero reference point, after which a
new span calibration must be performed. This calibration cannot be performed when calibrating a scale for the first time.
A last zero calibration is typically used on truck scales to allow a scale verification to become a calibration without having to
remove the test weights.
5.2.2Temporary Zero
A temporary zero calibration temporarily zeros the displayed weight of a non-empty scale. After span calibration, the difference
between the temporary zero and the previously calibrated zero value is used as an offset.
A temporary zero calibration is typically used on hopper scales to calibrate the span without losing the original zero calibration.
5.2.3Rezero
A rezero calibration is needed to remove a calibration offset when hooks or chains are required to suspend the test weights.
Once a span calibration is complete, remove the hooks or chains and the test weights from the scale. With all the weight
removed, a rezero calibration is used to adjust the zero and span calibration values.
rezero) can be done after calibration. See below for information on these alternative zeros.
Use the following instructions to calibrate the 680 using EDP commands. For information on the EDP commands of the 680,
see Section 7.0 on page 44.
The indicator must respond with OK after each step or the calibration procedure must be done again.
1.Press the setup switch to place indicator in setup mode (Section 4.1 on page 22).
2.For a standard calibration, remove all weight from scale (except hooks or chains which are needed to attach weights).
3.Send the command SC.WZERO#s to perform a standard calibration of the zero point.
• Send SC.TEMPZERO#s to perform a temporary zero calibration
• Send SC.LASTZERO#s to perform a last zero calibration
4.Apply the span calibration weight to the scale.
5.Send the command SC.WVAL#s=xxxxx, where xxxxx is the exact value of the span calibration weight applied to the
scale.
6.Send the command SC.WSPAN#s to calibrate the span point. Continue on to step 7 to calibrate additional
linearization points, or proceed to step 11.
7.Apply weight equal to the first linearization point to the scale.
8.Send the command SC.WLINVn#s=xxxxx, where n is the linearization point number (1-4) and xxxxx is the exact
value of the weight applied.
9.Send the command SC.WLIN.Cn#s to calibrate the linearization point.
10. Repeat steps 7–9 for up to four total linearization points.
11. If hooks or chains were used to attach the weights, remove all weight, including the hooks and chains, and send the
command SC.REZERO#s to remove the zero offset.
12. Send the command KSAVEEXIT to return to weigh mode.

Revolution®
Note
Note
6.0Revolution
The Revolution utility provides a suite of functions used to support configuration, calibration, customization and backup of the
680 software.
Calibration values and scale configuration can both be saved and restored to the 680 using Revolution.
For system requirements visit the Revolution product page on Rice Lake Weighing Systems website.
®
6.1Connecting to the Indicator
Connect the PC serial port to com 1 of the 680, then click Connect in the toolbar. Revolution attempts to establish
communications to the indicator. If communications settings need to be adjusted, select Options… from the Tools menu.
Downloading to the Indicator
The Download Configuration function on the Revolution Communications menu allows a Revolution configuration file (with or
without scale calibration data) or ticket formats to be downloaded to a connected indicator in setup mode.
The Download Section function on the Communications menu allows the download of only the currently displayed object, such
as a scale configuration.
Because less data is transferred using the Download Section, it is typically faster than a full configuration download, but there
is an increased possibility the download fails due to dependencies on other objects. If the download fails, try performing a
complete download using the Download Configuration function.
Uploading Configuration to Revolution
The Upload Configuration function on the Revolution Communications menu allows the existing configuration of a connected
indicator to be saved to a file on the PC. Once saved, the configuration file provides a backup which can be quickly restored to
the indicator if needed. Alternatively, the file can be edited within Revolution and downloaded back to the indicator.
6.2Saving and Transferring Data
Revolution has a module to save and transfer data. It is the preferred method over using ProComm or Hyper Terminal.
6.2.1Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer
Configuration data can be saved to a computer connected to the selected port. The PC must be running a communications
program such as PROCOMMPLUS
When configuring the indicator, ensure 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, first put the communications program into data capture mode, then
mode and send the DUMPALL command to the indicator. The 680 responds by sending all configuration parameters to the PC
as ASCII-formatted text.
®
.
place the indicator in setup
6.2.2Downloading Configuration Data from PC to Indicator
Configuration data saved on a PC or disc 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 selected port as described in Section 6.2.1. 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 5.0 on page 40.
6.3Updating Firmware
Revolution is used to update the firmware of the 680 indicator. The link to begin this process is available on the Revolution
home screen. Updating the firmware defaults configuration settings.
The 680 indicator can be controlled by a personal computer connected to one of the indicator communication ports. Control is
provided by a set of commands which can simulate front panel key press functions, return and change setup parameters, and
perform reporting functions. The commands provide the capability to print configuration data or to save data to an attached
personal computer. This section describes the EDP command set and procedures for saving and transferring data using the
communication ports. The EDP command set is divided into several groups.
When the indicator processes a command, it either responds with a value (for reporting commands, or when querying
parameter settings), or with the message OK. The OK response verifies the command was received and has been executed. If
the command is unrecognized, the indicator responds with ?? invalid command. If the command cannot be executed in the
current mode, the indicator responds with ?? invalid mode. If the command is recognized, but the value is out of range or the
invalid type, the indicator responds with ?? followed by the type and the range.
7.1Key Press Commands
Key press serial commands simulate pressing keys on the front panel of the indicator. These commands can be used in both
setup and weigh mode. Several of the commands serve as pseudo keys, providing functions which are not represented by a
key on the front panel.
For example, to enter a 15 lb tare weight using serial commands:
1.Type K1 and press
2.Type K5 and press
3.Type KTARE and press
Enter (or Return).
Enter.

7.3Reset Configuration Command
The following command can be used to reset the configuration parameters of the 680.
CommandFunction
RESETCONFIGURATIONRestores all configuration parameters to default values (setup mode only)
Table 7-3. Reset Configuration Command
All scale calibration settings are lost when the RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.
Parameter setting commands allow the current value for a configuration parameter to be displayed or changed.
Current configuration parameter settings can be displayed in setup mode or weigh mode using the following syntax:
command<ENTER>
Most parameter values can be changed in setup mode only; setpoint parameters listed in Table 7-10 on page 50 can be
changed when in normal weigh mode.
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 an incorrect command is typed or an invalid
value is specified, the indicator returns ?? followed by the error message.
Example: to set the motion band parameter on Scale #1 to 5 divisions, type the following:
SC.MOTBAND#1=5<ENTER>
To return a list of the available values for parameters with specific values, enter the command and equal sign, followed by a
questions mark (command=?<ENTER>). The indicator must be in setup mode to use this function.
After changes are made to configuration parameters using EDP commands, use the KSAVE or KSAVEEXIT commands to
commit the changes to memory.
The user must stop the current batch for new values to take effect.

Print Formatting
Note
8.0Print Formatting
The 680 provides multiple print formats, GFMT, NFMT, ACUMFMT, STPTFMT and HDRFMT, which determine the format of the
printed output when the
Each print format can be customized to include up to 1000 characters of information, such as company name and address, on
printed tickets. Use the print format menu through front panel of the indicator to customize the print formats.
Press the down arrow to view the ASCII character decimal value on the second menu level.
See Section 11.9 on page 69 to view the ASCII character chart.
8.1Print Formatting Tokens
Table 8-1 lists tokens which can be used to configure the print formats. Tokens included in the format strings must be enclosed
between < and > delimiters. Characters outside of the delimiters are printed as text on the ticket. Text characters can include
ASCII characters which can be printed by the output device.
Print key is pressed. If a tare has been entered or acquired, NFMT is used; otherwise, GFMT is used.
TokenDescription
<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***
<A>Accumulated weight in displayed units
<AC>Number of accumulator events (5 digit counter)
<AD>Date of last accumulator event
<AT>Time of last accumulator event
<UID>Unit ID number

<SN>Setpoint number
Gross, net, and tare weights are 9 digits in length, including sign (10 digits with decimal point) followed by a
space and a two-digit units identifier. Total field length with units identifier is 12 (or 13) characters.
UID and consecutive number (CN) fields are 6 characters in length.
* 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, and leading and trailing characters.
*** Not available if regulatory mode is set to OIML.
The <G2>, <N2> and <T2> tokens (Table 8-1) print the gross, net and tare weights in the units not currently displayed
on the indicator.
The 1000 character limit of each print format string includes the output field length of the print formatting tokens, not
the token length. For example, if the indicator is configured to display a decimal point, the <G> token generates an
output field of 13 characters: the 10 character weight value (including decimal point), one space, and a two-digit units
identifier.
PT (preset tare) is added to the tare weight if tare was keyed in.
Weigh mode

– tare in system
8.2Customizing Print Formats
The GFMT, NFMT, ACUMFMT, STPTFMT and HDRFMT formats can be customized using the print format menu (PForMT) via
the front panel. See Section 4.4.6 on page 33 for the print format menu structure. To access the print format menu the indicator
must be in setup mode (Section 4.1 on page 22).
8.2.1Using the Front Panel
Use the print format menu to customize the print formats and to edit the print format strings by changing the ASCII characters in
the format string. See Section 3.3.2 on page 16 for the alphanumeric entry procedure to edit the print format string.
Some characters cannot be displayed on the 680 front panel, see the ASCII character chart in Section 11.9 on page 69
for available characters. The 680 can send or receive ASCII characters; the character printed depends on the
particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.

Setpoints
Note
Note
9.0Setpoints
The 680 indicator provides eight configurable setpoints for control of both indicator and external equipment functions. Setpoints
can be configured to perform actions or functions based on specified parameter conditions. Parameters associated with various
setpoint kinds can, for example, be configured to perform functions (print, tare, accumulate), to change the state of a digital
output controlling indicator or external equipment functions, or to make conditional decisions.
Weight-based setpoints are tripped by values specified in primary units only.
9.1Batch and Continuous Setpoints
680 setpoints can be either continuous or batch.
Continuous setpoints are free-running; the indicator constantly monitors the condition of free-running setpoints at each A/D
update. The specified setpoint action or function is performed when the designated setpoint parameter conditions are met. A
digital output or function assigned to a free-running setpoint continuously changes state, becoming active or inactive, as
defined by the setpoint parameters.
Batch setpoints (BATCH = ON) which have digital outputs associated to them remain active until the setpoint condition is met.
The setpoint is then latched for the remainder of the batch sequence.
To use batch setpoints, set the batching (BATCHNG) parameter on the setpoints (SETPTS) menu. This parameter defines
whether a batch sequence is automatic or manual. AUTO sequences repeat continuously after receiving a single batch start
signal, while MANUAL sequences only run through once for each Batch Start signal. The batch start signal can be initiated by a
digital input (set to BATSTR), or an EDP command (BATSTART).
For a setpoint to be used as part of a batch sequence, its batch sequence (BATCH) parameter must be set to ON. If a setpoint
is defined and enabled, but its Batch Sequence parameter is set to OFF, the setpoint operates as a continuous setpoint even
during batch sequences.
In applications which contain both batch setpoint routines and continuous setpoints, it is good practice to keep
continuous setpoints separate from the batch sequence.
Do not assign them the same digital output.
Set the ACCESS parameter 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.
ParameterDescriptionBatchContinuous
OFFOff – Setpoint turned off/ignored
GROSSGross Weight – Performs functions based on the gross weight; the target weight entered is
considered a positive gross weight
NETNet Weight – Performs functions based on the net weight; the target weight entered is
considered a positive net weight value
-GROSSNegative Gross Weight – Performs functions based on the gross weight; the target weight
entered is considered a negative gross weight
-NETNegative Net Weight – Performs functions based on the net weight; the target weight entered is
considered a negative net weight value
ACCUMAccumulate – Compares the value of the setpoint to the source scale accumulator; the
accumulator setpoint is satisfied when the value of the source scale accumulator meets the
value and conditions of the accumulator setpoint
POSRELPositive Relative – Performs functions based on a specified value above a referenced setpoint,
using the same weight mode as the referenced setpoint
NEGRELNegative Relative – Performs functions based on a specified value below a referenced setpoint,
using the same weight mode as the referenced setpoint
PCTRELPercent Relative – Performs functions based on a specified percentage of the target value of a
referenced setpoint, using the same weight mode as the referenced setpoint; the actual target
value of the Percent Relative setpoint is calculated as a percentage of the target value of the
referenced setpoint
PAUSEPause – Pauses the batch sequence indefinitely; a Batch Start signal must be initiated to
continue the batch process
DELAYDelay – Delays the batch sequence for a specified time; the length of the delay (in tenths of a
second) is specified on the Value parameter
WAITSSWait Standstill – Suspends the batch sequence until the scale is at standstillX
COUNTERCounter – Specifies the number of consecutive batch sequences to perform; place counter
setpoints at the beginning of a batch routine
AUTOJOGAuto-Jog – Automatically checks the previous weight-based setpoint to verify the setpoint weight
value is satisfied in a standstill condition
• If the previous setpoint is not satisfied when at standstill, the AUTOJOG setpoint activates
the digital output of the previous weight-based setpoint for a period of time, specified on
the Value parameter (in tenths of a second)
• The AUTOJOG process repeats until the previous weight-based setpoint is satisfied when
the scale is at standstill
NOTE: The AUTOJOG digital output is typically used to signify an AUTOJOG operation is
being performed.
NOTE: AUTOJOG uses the digital output of the previous weight-based setpoint, and
should not be assigned to the same digital output as the related weight-based setpoint.
COZCenter of Zero – Monitors for a gross center of zero condition
• The digital output associated with this setpoint kind is activated when the referenced scale
is at center of zero
• No value is required for this setpoint
INMOTONIn-Motion – Monitors for an in-motion condition
• The digital output associated with this setpoint is activated when the scale is not at
standstill.
• No value is required for this setpoint
INRANGEIn-Range – Monitors for an in-range condition
• The digital output associated with this setpoint is activated when the scale is within
capacity range
• No value is required for this setpoint
TIMERTimer – Tracks the progress of a batch sequence based on a timer
• The timer value, in tenths of a second, determines the length of time allowed between start
and end setpoints
• 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
CONCURConcurrent – Allows a digital output to remain active over a specified portion of the batch
sequence
• Type 1 (VALUE=0): 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 (VALUE > 0): If a non-zero value is specified for the Value parameter, the value
represents the timer, in tenths of a second, for this setpoint; the digital output associated
with this setpoint becomes active when the Start setpoint becomes the current batch step
and remains active until the timer expires
TODTime of Day – Performs functions when the internal clock time of the indicator matches the
specified setpoint time
ALWAYSAlways – This setpoint is always satisfied; it is typically used to provide an endpoint for true/false
branching batch routines
NEVERNever – This setpoint is never satisfied
• Used to branch to a designated setpoint in true/false branching batch routines in which the
batch does not continue through the normal sequence of batch setpoints

9.2Batching Examples
9.2.1Example 1
The following example uses seven setpoints to dispense material from a hopper in 100 lb batches and to automatically refill the
hopper when its weight drops below 300 lb.
Bits 1 and 2 in the Digital I/O menu (Section 4.4.9 on page 38) are assigned to batch start and batch run functions: BATRUN
must be on (low) before the BATSTRT input starts the batch.
SLOT 0, BIT 1=BATSTRT
SLOT 0, BIT 2=BATRUN
BATCHNG=MANUAL
Setpoint 1 ensures the hopper has enough material to start the batch. If the hopper weight is 300 lb or higher, setpoint 1 is
tripped.
Setpoint 2 waits for standstill, then performs a tare to put the indicator into net mode.
SETPT 2
KIND=WAITSS
PSHTARE=ON
Setpoint 3 is used as a reference (relative setpoint) for setpoint 4.
SETPT 3
KIND=NET
VALUE=0
TRIP=HIGHER
BATCH=OFF
Setpoint 4 is used to dispense material from the hopper. When the hopper weight falls to 100 lb less than its weight at the
relative setpoint (setpoint 3), digital output 1 is set off.
Setpoint 5 is used to evaluate the gross amount of material in the hopper after dispensing, and to maintain a minimum material
level in the hopper. When the hopper weight falls below 300 lb, digital output 2 becomes active and the hopper is refilled to
1000 lb.
Setpoint 6 is used to ensure 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.
The following example uses six setpoints to control a two-speed fill operation where both fast and slow feeds are on
simultaneously.
Bits 1 and 2 in the Digital I/O menu (Section 4.4.9 on page 38) are assigned to batch start and batch run functions: BATRUN
must be on (low) before the BATSTRT input starts the batch.
SLOT 0, BIT 1=BATSTRT
SLOT 0, BIT 2=BATRUN
BATCHNG=MANUAL
Setpoint 5 controls the slow fill operation. When the net weight reaches 200 lb, the slow fill is stopped, the indicator waits for
standstill and performs a push print operation using the SPFMT ticket format.
Setpoint 6 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 begins.
The maintenance information in this manual is designed to cover aspects of maintaining and troubleshooting the 680 indicator.
Contact the local Rice Lake Weighing Systems dealer if a problem requires technical assistance.
Have the scale model number and serial number available when calling for assistance.
10.1Maintenance Checkpoints
The scale must be checked frequently to determine when a calibration is required. It is recommended a zero calibration be
checked every other day and a calibration checked every week for several months after installation. Observe the results and
change the period between calibration checks, depending upon the accuracy desired.
Establish a routine inspection procedure. Report changes in the scale function to the individual or department
responsible for the scales’ performance.
10.2Field Wiring
If a problem with the wiring is suspected, check the electrical portion of the scale.
• Check for proper interconnections between the components of the system
• Check wiring meets all specifications in the installation drawings
• Check all wiring and connections for continuity, shorts and grounds using an ohmmeter with the scale off
• Check for loose connections, poor solder joints, shorted or broken wires and unspecified grounds in wiring; these issues
cause erratic readings and shifts in weight readings
• Check all cable shields to ensure grounding is made at only the locations specified in the installation drawings

11.4Local/Remote Operation
For systems which require two locations, local/remote support provides function equivalent to a Legal for Trade remote display
with keypad. Scale data from the local indicator is also displayed at the remote unit.
To configure for local/remote operation, set the INPUT parameter in the COMM menu to the REMOTE option for the desired
port. Once the local unit scale has been configured, use serial commands or Revolution to set the serial parameters for local/
remote operation.
11.5Audit Trail Support
Audit trail support provides tracking information for configuration and calibration events. To prevent potential misuse, all
configuration and calibration changes are counted as change events.
Audit trail information can be printed from Revolution or by sending the DUMPAUDIT serial command. Revolution can be used
to display audit trail information. The audit trail display includes the legally relevant (LR) version number (firmware version for
the code which provides audit trail information), a calibration count and, if REGULAT=NTEP or Canada, a configuration count.
The exact format of the information depends on the regulatory agency specified for the REGULA (Program menu) parameter.
See Section 3.4.9 on page 18 to view the Audit Trail counter.
For NTEP and Measurement Canada modes, there are two numbers displayed: configuration and calibration. The
configuration number tracks changes to the legally relevant configuration parameter changes. The calibration number tracks
changes to the scale calibration.
In OIML mode, the only number displayed is audit trail. The audit trail number is incremental for legally relevant configuration
parameter changes and all calibration changes. The last date the scale was calibrated is also displayed.
11.6Conversion Factors for Secondary Units
The 680 has the capability to mathematically convert a weight into many different types of units and instantly display those
results with a press of the
Secondary units can be specified on the Format menu using the SECNDR parameter.
Multipliers are preconfigured within the indicator.
Ensure the secondary decimal point position is set appropriately for the scale capacity in the secondary units.
Unit key.
11.7Digital Filtering
Digital filtering is used to create a stable scale reading in challenging environments. The 680 allows selection of Digital Rolling
Average Filtering (
None (RAW) for no filtering. See
The scale’s sample rate effects all types of filtering. The A/D sample rate is selected by the SMPRAT scale parameter. The A/D
sample rate is the number of weight readings the indicator takes per second (SMPRAT). This can be 6.25, 7.5, 12.5, 15, 25, 30,
50, 60 or 120 hertz (readings per second). Set the A/D sample rate to the lowest setting required for the application. Lower
settings result in better stability.
11.7.1 Digital Rolling Average Filter (AVGONLY)
The digital rolling average filter uses mathematical averaging with three stages. These configurable stages control the effect of
a single A/D reading on the displayed weight. When an A/D reading outside of a predetermined band is encountered, the digital
rolling average filter is overridden and the display jumps directly to the new value.
Digital Filter Stages (DGFLTR1-3)
The filter stages can each be set to a value of 1–256. The value assigned to each stage sets the number of readings received
from the preceding filter stage before averaging. Setting the filter stages to 1 effectively disables the rolling filter.
A rolling average is passed to successive filtering stages for an overall filtering effect which is effectively a weighted average of
the product of the values assigned to the filter stages (DGFLTR1 x DGFLTR2 x DGFLTR3) within a time frame corresponding
to the sum of the values (DGFLTR1 + DGFLTR2 + DGFLTR3).

for configuration menu layout and the location of FLTRCHN parameter.
Digital Filter Sensitivity (DFSENS) and Threshold (DFTHRH)
The rolling averaging filter can be used by itself to eliminate vibration effects, but heavy filtering also increases settling time.
The DFSENS and DFTHRH parameters can be used to temporarily override filter averaging and improve settling time.
• DFSENS specifies the number of consecutive A/D readings which must fall outside the filter threshold (DFTHRH) before
filtering is suspended
• DFTHRH sets a threshold value, in display divisions; When the specified number of consecutive A/D readings
(DFSENS) fall outside of this threshold, filtering is suspended; Set DFTHRH to NONE to turn off the filter override
Digital Rolling Average Filter Procedure
1.In setup mode, set the rolling filter stage parameters (DGFLTR1-3) to 1.
2.Set DFTHRH to NONE.
3.Return to weigh mode.
4.Remove all weight from scale, then watch the indicator to determine the magnitude of vibration effects on the scale.
5.Record weight below which all but a few readings fall. This value is used to calculate the DFTHRH parameter in step 8.
Example – if a heavy-capacity scale (10000 x 5 lb) produces vibration-related readings of up to 50 lb, with occasional
spikes up to 75 lb, record 50 as the threshold weight value.
6.Place the indicator in setup mode and set the filter stage parameters (DGFLTR1-3) to eliminate the vibration effects on
the scale (leave DFTHRH set to NONE).
7.Find the lowest effect value for the DGFLTR1-3 parameters.
If needed, the digital filter cutout sensitivity (DFSENS) and the digital filter cutout threshold (DFTHRH) can be used to reset the
digital rolling average filter so the response to a rate change is faster.
8.Calculate the DFTHRH parameter value by converting the weight value recorded in step 5 to display divisions
(Threshold_Weight_Value / Display_Divisions).
In the example in step 5, with a threshold value of 50, and a display divisions value of 5, set the DFTHRH parameter to
10 display divisions.
9.Set the DFSENS parameter high enough to ignore transient peaks. Longer transients (typically caused by lower
vibration frequencies) causes more consecutive out-of-band readings; set the DFSENS parameter higher to counter
low frequency transients.
11.7.2 Adaptive Filter (ADPONLY)
The adaptive filter has two settings, sensitivity (ADSENS) and threshold (ADTHRH). It maintains a running average of the A/D
readings when the weight change remains less than the defined threshold value. The filter automatically applies less value to
each successive A/D reading the longer the weight change is less than the threshold value. The amount of value given to the
most recent A/D reading is determined by the sensitivity setting.
Adaptive Filter Sensitivity (ADSENS)
Adaptive filter sensitivity (ADSENS) can be set to HEAVY, MEDIUM or LIGHT. A HEAVY setting results in an output which is
more stable to weight changes than the LIGHT setting. A HEAVY setting also results in small changes in weight data (a few
grads) on the scale base to not be seen as quickly as with the LIGHT setting.
If the difference in typical subsequent weight values on the scale are only a few display divisions, use a LIGHT setting. On a
truck scale where the changes in subsequent weight values are 100s of display divisions, a HEAVY setting is more appropriate.

Adaptive Filter Threshold (ADTHRH)
Set the adaptive filtering threshold (ADTHRH) for the amount of observed instability in the system. This parameter can be set in
the range of 0–2000 and is entered as a weight value. When a new sampled weight value is acquired, the adaptive filter
compares the new value to the previous (filtered) output value.
If the difference between the new value and the previous output value is greater than the ADTHRH parameter the adaptive filter
is reset to the new weight value.
If the difference between the new value and the previous output value is less than the ADTHRH parameter, the two values are
averaged together using a weighted average. The weighted average is based on the amount of time the system has been
stable, and selected ADSENS sensitivity.
With the adaptive filter threshold set at zero, determine the amount of instability present. Enter this amount of weight instability
to set the threshold of the adaptive filter. The adaptive filter is set to OFF the ADTHRH parameter is set to zero.
11.7.3 Damping Filter (DMPONLY)
The damping filter is a simple filter which adjusts the amount of time it takes for a change in weight to be processed through the
scale. The DAMPVAL parameter is a time interval specified in tenths of a second (10 = 1 second). This damping value is used
to determine the amount of time it takes for the scale to reach its final weight output. When DAMPVAL is set to ten, a transition
from 0 lb to 500 lb on the scale takes one second. The closer the weight gets to its final amount, the slower the weight changes
on the display.
