1.0 Introduction

The 420HE is a single-channel digital weight indicator housed in a NEMA 4X/IP66-rated FRP enclosure. The indicator front panel consists of a large (1.8 in, 44.5 mm), six-digit, seven-segment LED display and six-button keypad. Features include:

• Drives up to eight 350or sixteen 700 load cells

• Supports 4- and 6-wire load cell connections

• Two configurable digital inputs

• Two configurable digital outputs

• Electronic data processing (EDP) port for full duplex, RS-232 communications at up to 38400 bps

• Printer port for full duplex RS-232 or active transmit only 20 mA current loop communications at up to 38400 bps

• Optional analog output module provides 0–10 VDC or 0–20/4–20 m A tracking of gross or net weight values

• Available in 115 VAC and 230 VAC versions

The 420HE is NTEP-certified and pending Measurement Canada approval for Classes III, III HD, and III L at 10,000 divisions. See

1.1 Operating Modes

The 420HE has four modes of operation:

Normal (Primary) mode

Normal mode is the “default” mode of the indicator. The indicator displays gross or net weights as required, using the LED annunciators described in Section 1.3 on page 3 to indicate scale status and the type of weight value displayed. Once configuration is complete and a legal seal is affixed to the back of the indicator, this is the primary mode in which the 420HE can operate.

Section 7.12 on page 49 for detailed specifications.

Setup mode

Most of the procedures described in this manual require the indicator to be in setup mode, including configuration and calibration.

To enter setup mode, open enclosure and press the setup switch once. The indicator display changes to show the word CONFIG.

Test mode

Test mode provides a number of diagnostic functions for the 420HE indicator. Like setup mode, test mode is entered using the setup switch. See test mode.

NOTE: Test mode is intended for factory use only.

Front Panel Setup Mode

Hold the UNITS key for three seconds to enter front panel setup mode. Use front panel setup to change setpoint and to set the time and date.

Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the cord grips should be grounded against the CPU mounting plate. Do the following to ground shielded cables:

• Use the lockwashers, clamps, and kep nuts provided in the parts kit to install grounding clamps on the enclosure studs adjacent to cord grips. Install grounding clamps only for cord grips that will be used; do not tighten nuts.

• Route cables through cord grips and grounding clamps to determine cable lengths required to reach cable connectors. Mark cables to remove insulation and shield as described below:

• For cables with foil shielding, strip insulation and f

oil from the cable half an inch (15 mm) past the grounding clamp (see Figure 2-2). Fold the foil shield back on the cable where the cable passes through the clamp. Ensure silver (conductive) side of foil is turned outward for contact with the grounding clamp.

• For cables with braided shielding, strip cable in

sulation and braided shield from a point just past the grounding clamp. Strip another half inch (15 mm) of insulation only to expose the braid where the cable passes through the clamp (see Figure 2-2).

• For load cell cables, cut the shield wire just past the

grounding clamp. Shield wire function is provided by contact between the cable shield and the grounding clamp.

• Route stripped cables through cord grips and cla

mps. Ensure shields contact grounding clamps as shown in Figure 2-2. Tighten grounding clamp nuts.

• Finish installation using cable mounts and ties to secur

e cables inside of indicator enclosure.

3.0 Configuration

T o configure the 420HE indicator , the indicator must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed by opening the enclosure and pressing the setup 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 on page 15. When configuration is complete, return to the CONF

IG menu and press the

(ZERO) key to exit setup mode.

3.1 Configuration Methods

The 420HE 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 on page 14.

Configuration using the EDP port can be accomplished

Description

Graduations. Specifies the number of full scale graduations. The value entered must be in the range 1–100 000 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. Specify the zero tracking band in ± display divisions. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.

NOTE: For scales using linear calibration, do not set the zero tracking band to a value greater than that specified for the first linearization point.

Selects the range within which the scale can be zeroed. The 1.900000 default value 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 the default value 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 0, the standstill annunciator will be set continuously on, and operations including zero, print, and tare will be performed regardless of scale motion. If 0 is selected, ZTRKBND must also be set to 0.

Overload. 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.

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

Digital filtering. 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 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. See Section 7.7 on page 45 for more information on digital filtering.

Digital filter cutout sensitivity. Specifies the number of consecutive readings that must fall outside the filter threshold (DFTHRH parameter) before digital filtering is suspended. If NONE is selected, the filter is always enabled.

4.4 More About Calibration

The following topics provide additional information about compensating for environmental factors (Section 4.4.1) and diagnostic information for determining expected zero and span coefficients.

4.4.1 Adjusting Final Calibration

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

To adjust the final calibration, return to the prompt and press to show the test weight value. Press

or to adjust calibration up or down. Press to save the value, then press to return to the CALIBR menu.

4.4.2 A/D Counts

Table 4-1 lists the ideal A/D counts that result from input signals of 0–3.0 mV with zero deadload. Actual values will typical

ly be higher than the values shown in Table 4-1 but the ideal values c an be used when calibrating the indicator with

5.0 EDP Commands

The 420HE 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

sponds with the message

Table 5-2. EDP Reporting Commands

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

This command is equivalent to

using the DEFLT function on the TEST menu. See Section 7.9 on page 47 for more information about test mode and using the TEST menu.

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

5.1.4 Parameter Setting Commands

Parameter setting commands allow you to display or change the current value for a particular configuration parameter (Tables 5-3 through 5-11).

Current configuration para

meter settings can be displayed in either setup mode or normal mode using the following syntax:

command<ENTER>

Most parameter values can be changed in setup mode only. Use the following command syntax when changing parameter values:

command=value<ENTER>

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

??.

Changes to the parameters are saved as they are entered but typically do not take effect until you exit setup mode.

For example, to set the motion band parameter

to 5,

type the following:

MOTBAND=5D<ENTER>

5.1.5 Soft Reset

5.2 Saving and Transferring Data

Connecting a personal computer to the 420HE EDP port allows you to save indicator configuration data to the PC or to download configuration data from the PC to an indicator. The following sections describe the procedures for these save and transfer operations.

5.2.1 Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer

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

communications program such as PROCOMMPLUS

Section 2.3.3 on page 8 for information about

See 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. Set the PRNDEST parameter to EDP.

To save all configuration data, place the indicator in setup mode and send the DUMPALL EDP command to the indicator. The

420HE responds by sending all

configuration parameters to the PC as ASCII-formatted text.

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.

NOTES:

• Calibration settings are included in the configuration data downloaded to the indicator. If the receiving indicator is a direct replacement for another

420HE 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.

34 420HE Installation Manual

Page 39

6.0 Print Formatting

Note

The 420HE provides two print formats, GFMT and NFMT that determine the format of the printed output when the

PRINT key is pressed or when a KPRINT EDP

command is received. If a tare has been entered or acquired, NFMT is used; otherwise, GFMT is used.

Each print format can be customized to include up to

0 characters of information, such as company name

30 and address, on printed tickets. You can use the indicator front panel (PFORMT menu), EDP

commands, or the

Revolution

configuration utility to

customize the print formats.

Display will only show capital letters, press the down arrow to view the ASCII character d

ecimal value on the second menu level. Refer to Ta bl e 7-4 on page 41 and Ta bl e 7-5 on page 42 to view the ASCII character charts.

6.1 Print Formatting Commands

Table 6-1 lists commands you can use to format the gross, net and count print formats in the format strings must be enclosed between < and > delimiters. Any characters outside of the delimiters are printed as text on the ticket. T ext characters can include any ASCII character that can be printed by the output device.

Command Description

<G> Gross weight in displayed units <G2> Gross weight in non-displayed units <N> Net weight in displayed units <N2> Net weight in non-displayed units <T> Tare weight in displayed units <T2> Tare weight in non-displayed units <UID> Unit ID number <CN> Consecutive number

> New line (nn = number of termination (<CR/LF>

or <CR>) characters)*

> Space (nn = number of spaces)*

<SPnn <SU> Toggle weight data format (formatted/

atted)**

unform <TI> Time <DA> Date <TD> 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.

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

Time & Date

Table 6-1. Print Format Commands

. Commands included

Command Description

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

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

Table 6-1. Print Format Commands

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

The default

420HE print formats are shown in

Table 6-2:

Format Default Format String Sample Output

Table 6-2. GFMT and NFMT Formats

4053.1 lb GROSS

15.6 lb TARE

4037.5 lb NET

• The <G2>, <N2>, and <T2> commands listed in Table 6-1 print the gross, net, and tare weights in non-displayed units—that

is, in the

units not currently displayed on the indicator.

• ID numbers included in the print format string (<UID>

command) must be set using the UID EDP command.Or, DIGIN must be set for NEWID.

• The 300-character limit of each print format string in

cludes the output field length of the print formatting commands, not the command length. For example, if the indicator is configured to show a decimal point, the <G> command generates an output field of 13 characters: the 10-character weight value (including decimal point), one space, and a two-digit units identifier.

• PT (preset tare) is added to the tare weight if tare wa

s keyed in.

6.2 Customizing Print Formats

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

Revolution configuration utility.

6.2.1 Using the EDP Port

With a personal computer, terminal, or remote keyboard attached to the the EDP command set to customize the print format strings.

420HE EDP port, you can use

name of the string (GFMT or NFMT) and press

ENTER.

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

ENTER. The

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

GFMT=<G> GROSS<NL>

To change the format, use the GFMT 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:

Indicator must be placed in the setup mode, CONFIG is

GFMT=FINE TRANSFER CO<NL>32400 WEST HIGHW

AY ROAD<NL>SMALLTOWN<NL2><G>

GROSS<NL>

shown on the display.

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

FINE TRANSFER CO 32400 WEST HIGHWAY ROAD SMALLTOWN 1345 lb GROSS

6.2.2 Using the Front Panel

If you have no access to equipment for communication through the EDP port or are working at a site where such equipment cannot be used, you can use the PFORMT menu (see Figure 6-1) to customize the print formats.

Using the PFORMT menu, you can edit the print format strings by

changing the decimal values of the

ASCII characters in the format string.

Lower-case letters and some special characters cannot be displayed on the 420HE

page 41 and page 42) and are shown as blanks. The

420HE can send or receive any ASCII character; the

character printed depends on the particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.

6.2.3 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 6-2 shows an example of the

Revolution print formatting grid.

7.1.2 Using the XE EDP Command

The XE EDP command can be used to remotely query

420HE for the error conditions shown on the front

the 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 7-2.

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 1040, this value represents the sum of an A/ D reference error (1024) and an A/D calibration checksum error (16).

The second number returned (

yyyyy) uses the same bit

assignments as shown in Table 7-2 to indicate whether the test for the error condition was run. For example, the value

yyyyy = 50815 represents the decimal

equivalent of the binary value 1100 0110 0111 1111. Using the bit assignments in Table 7-2, this value indicates all tests were run.

7.2 Status Messages

Two EDP commands, P and ZZ, can be used to provide status about the indicator. These commands are described in the following sections.

7.2.1 Using the P EDP Command

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

&&&&&& (overload) or :::::: (underrange).

7.2.2 Using the ZZ EDP Command

The ZZ EDP command can be used to remotely que ry which annunciators are currently displayed on the indicator front panel. The ZZ command returns the currently displayed weight and a decimal number representing the LED annunciators currently lit. The format of the returned data is:

wwwwww uu zzz

where wwwwww uu is the current displayed weight and

zzz is the annunciator status value (see Table 7-3).

units, If more than one annunciator is lit, the second number returne annunciators.

Example: If the annunciator status value returned on

the ZZ command is 145, the gross, standstill, and lb annunciators are lit. 145 represents the sum of the values for the standstill annunciator (128), gross mode annunciator (16), and the lb/primary units annunciator (1).

7.6 Conversion Factors for Secondary

Note

Units

The 420HE has the capability to mathematically convert a weight into many different types of units and instantly display those results with a press of the key.

Secondary units can be specified on the FORMAT men

u using the SECNDR parameter, or by using EDP

commands.

• Multipliers are preconfigured within the

indicator. Manual entry is only necessary when NONE is selected under UNITS. Long tons and grain units listed in Table 7-6 cannot be directly specified as primary or secondary units. For these or other unlisted units of

ht, specify NONE under UNITS.

weig

• 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, secon

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

A/D Readings

The 420HE uses averaged digital filtering to reduce the effect of vibration on weight readings. Adjustable thresh old and sensitivity functions allow quick settling by suspending filter averaging, allowing the weight reading to jump to the new value. Figure 7-3 shows the digital filter parameters on the CONFIG menu.

Figure 7-3. Digital Filtering Parameters on the Configuration (CONFIG) Menu

Figure 7-4. Flow Diagram for 420HE Digital Filters

7. 7. 1 D I G F L x Pa r a m e t e r s

The first three digital filtering parameters, DIGFL1, DIGFL2, and DIGFL3, are configurable filter stages that control the effect of a single A/D reading on the displayed weight. The value assigned to each parameter sets the number of readings received from the preceding filter stage before averaging (see

7.7.2 DFSENS and DFTHRH Parameters

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

Figure 7-4). The overall filtering effect can be expressed by adding

values assigned to the three filter stages:

the

DIGFL1 + DIGFL2 + DIGFL3

For example, if the filters are configured as DIGFL1=4, DIGFL2=8, DIGFL3=8, the overall filtering effect is 20 (4 + 8 + 8). With this configuration, each A/D reading has a 1-in-20 effect on the displayed weight value. Setting the filters to 1 effectively disables digital filtering.

• DFSENS specifies the nu mber 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.

Note

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

1. In setup mode, set all three digital filters (DIGF

L1, DIGFL2, DIGFL3) to 1. Set DFTHRH to NONE. Return indicator to normal mode.

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

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

duces vibration-related readings of up to 50

pro lb, with occasional spikes to 75 lb, record 50 lb as the threshold weight value.

3. Place the indicator in setup mode and set the

digital fi

lters (DIGFLx) to eliminate the

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

4. With optimum values assigned to the DIGFLx parameters, calculate the DFTHRH parameter

by converting the weight value recorded

value in Step 2 to display divisions:

threshold_weight_value / DSPDIV

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

50 / 5lb = 10DD. DFTHRH should

be set to 10DD for this example.

5. Finally, set the DFSENS parameter high enough to

ignore transient peaks. Longer transients (typically 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

fective value for the DFSENS parameter.

7.8 Analog Output Calibration

The following calibration procedure requires a multimeter to measure voltage or current output from the analog output module. If the option is not already installed, see Section 2.3.5 on page 8.

The analog output must be calibrated after the indicator itself has been configured (Section 3.0) and calibrated (Section 4.0).

Figure 7-5. Analog Output Menu

1. Enter setup mode and go to the ALGOUT menu (see Figure 7-5).

• Set OFFSET to 0% for 0–10 V output,

% for 4–20 mA output

• Set MIN to lowest weight value to be

tracked by

the analog output

• Set MAX to highest weight value to be

tracked by

the analog output

2. Connect multimeter to analog output:

• For voltage output, connect voltmeter

leads to pins three and four

• F or current output, connect ammeter leads

pins one and two

46 420HE Installation Manual

3. Adjust zero calibration: Scroll to the TWZER

O parameter. Check voltage or current reading on multimeter. Press and hold to adjust the zero value up or down.

4. Adjust span calibration: Scroll to the TWSPAN parameter multimeter. Press and hold

. Check voltage or current reading on

or to adjust the

span value up or down.

5. Final zero calibration: Return to the TWZERO parameter a

nd verify that the zero calibration has not drifted. Press and hold re-adjust the zero value as required.

6. Return to normal mode. Analog output fu

nction can be verified using test weights.
