WARNING

Note

In certain Legal for Trade applications, it may be necessary to seal the indicator to restrict access from the setup switch. Use the following instructions to seal the panel mount enclosure.

The audit trail jumper (JP1) needs to be disabled, in the off (right) position, in order to seal the setup switch with a lead seal wire. Access is not prevented simply by sealing the setup switch.

Wrap the lead wire seal through the large fillister screw and through the bottom tab of the DIN rail clip to restrict access to the setup switch. Alternatively, the A/D scale card includes fillister screws and a bracket that prevent the load cell cable from being disconnected.

Figure 2-21. Seal the Setup Switch (Panel Mount Enclosure)

2.3 Option Card Installation

Use the following instructions to install option cards in the 1280. There are two SPI communication buses for the six option card slots: one for slots 1, 2 and 3 and a second for slots 4, 5 and 6. Communication is faster with less traffic on an SPI bus. For optimal performance, populate slots 1 and 4 first in order to keep cards on their own SPI bus.

• Option cards are not hot-swappable. Disconnect power to the 1280 before installing option cards.

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

• Procedures requiring work inside the indicator must be performed by qualified service personnel only.

• In the 1280 wall and universal enclosures, the supply cord serves as the power disconnect. The power receptacle to the indicator must be easily accessible for these models.

It may be easier to install option cards in the universal enclosure if the controller assembly is removed from the enclosure. See Section 2.2.1 on page 18.

1. Remove the hardware securing the slot cover plate.

2. Remove the slot cover plate.

3. Slide the option card into place.

4. Secure the card using the hardware that secured the

Note

The 1280 universal and wall enclosures provide cord grips for cabling into the indicator; one is for the power cord and the rest are to accommodate interface cables. Install plugs in all unused cord grips to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure. Secure wires after cabling is complete to avoid low voltage circuits contacting high voltage circuits.

2.4.1 Grounding Through Cord Grips

T o ground cables to the universal or wall enclosures, route the cable through one of the metal cord grips. Ensure the exposed shielding makes contact with the tabs of the grounding washer inside the cord grip. See Figure 2-25.

2.4.2 Panel Enclosure Grounding

To ground cables to the panel enclosure, place the shield wire on the grounding clip on the controller assembly.

The controller assembly must be grounded to the stud and nut that hold the panel enclosure to the backing plate per national electrical code (NEC).

4.3 Scale Filtering

Digital filtering can be used to create a stable scale reading by removing environmental influences. The 1280 has two filtering methods that can be selected; Adaptive Digital and Three Stage Filtering. Three Stage Filtering is selected by default. In addition, the A/D sample rate and damping time constant can be set in this menu.

To enter scale filtering, press the

Scales icon . From the Scales menu, select Filtering. The following

parameters are available.

Parameter Default Description

Sample Rate 30 Hz Selects measurement rate, in samples per second, of the analog-to-digital

converter. The sample rate refers to how many times per second the analog signal is converted to digital. It should be set first. Better stability is achieved with a lower sample rate setting, so 7.5 Hz is more stable than 960 Hz.

Digital Filter Type Three Stage Filter Sets the filter type to be used. See Section 4.3.1 for more information on the

adaptive digital filter. See Section 4.3.2 for more information on the three stage filter.

Damping Time Constant (seconds)

0.0 Used for flow control to get a smooth increase in weight. It takes two-thirds of the difference in weight change in each time period specified.

Parameter Default Description

• Heavy – results in an output that is more stable but will settle slowly. Small changes in weight data (a few grads) on the scale base will not be seen quickly.

• Medium – has a quicker response time than heavy, but more stability than light.

• Light – fastest response to small weight changes, but less stable.

system. If set to zero, the filter is disabled.

Table 4-9. Adaptive Digital Filter Menu Descriptions

Scale Configuration 61

Page 67

Filtering Threshold

Digital filtering threshold should be set for the amount of observed noise in the system. This parameter can be set in the range of 0 to 99999 display divisions. When a new sampled weight value is acquired, the adaptive digital 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

Threshold parameter (displayed division), the adaptive digital filter

output is reset. The newly acquired sample value replaces the filtered output. If the difference between the new value and the previous output value is less than the

Threshold parameter, the two values are averaged together

using a weighed average. The weighed average is based on the time the system has been stable and the selected sensitivity setting.

The filter can be set to

Off by entering 0 in the Threshold parameter.

1. To determine the initial setting for the threshold, first set the value to 0.

Example: If a heavy-capacity scale (10000 x 5 lb) produces vibration-related readings of up to 50 lb, with occasional spikes to 75 lb, record 50 lb as the threshold weight value.



2. In weigh mode, determine the amount of instability that is present. Convert this instability to display divisions.

3. Set the threshold to the number of display divisions of instability.

threshold_weight_value / display_divisions

In the example in Step 2, with a threshold weight value of 50 lb and a display divisions value of 5 lb: 50 / 5 = 10.

Threshold should be set to 10D for this example.

4. Further tweak this value, along with the sensitivity, to achieve the desired results. Set sensitivity for the desired response for weight changes; light for less stable but quicker responses, heavy for more stable but slower responses.

4.3.2 Three Stage Filter

The Three Stage Digital filter is a simple rolling average filter with three successive stages. The values assigned to each of the three stages determines the number of A/D readings averaged by that stage. The output value of each stage is passed on to the next stage at each A/D update. The overall filtering effect can be expressed by adding the values assigned to the filter stages and subtracting two.

Example: If the filter stages were set to 16, 4 and 4, the overall filtering effect is 22 ((16+4+4)-2=22). With this configuration, a step change on the input would be fully realized on the display in 22 A/D samples. Setting the filters to 1

((1+1+1)-2=1) effectively disables the Three Stage Filter.

Parameter Default Description

Filter Sensitivity 2 Consecutive Values Specifies the number of consecutive A/D readings that must fall outside the

Filter Threshold before filtering is suspended.

Filter Threshold None Sets a threshold value, in display divisions. When a number of consecutive A/D

readings (Filter Sensitivity) falls outside of this threshold value (when compared to the output of the filter), filtering is suspended and the A/D value is sent straight through the filter. Filtering will not be suspended if the threshold is set

of A/D conversions per update that are averages to obtain the displayed

effect of a few noisy readings, but slows down the response time of the

RattleTrap

RattleTrap filtering uses a vibration-dampening algorithm to automatically provide the best features of digital filtering.

It is particularly effective for eliminating vibration effects or mechanical interference from nearby machinery. Using RattleTrap filtering can automatically eliminate environmental influences, but will usually increase response time over standard digital filtering. If RattleTrap is set to on, sensitivity and threshold parameter settings are ignored.

4.6 Serial Scale Type

The Serial Scale type allows other scale indicators to send gross or net weight data to the 1280 using a continuous stream of data through a communications port.

4.6.1 Legal for Trade

For a Legal for Trade serial scale, the data must contain the unit of measure, mode of operation and status (in addition to the weight). The configuration of a Legal for Trade serial scale is very limited as it acts similarly to a remote display. For this reason, the scale cannot be tared or zeroed on the 1280 but must be done on the host indicator.

If the data packet for a Legal for Trade serial scale does not contain information is incorrect, the scale will show an error.

sary information, or the

64 1280 Enterprise Series

Page 70

4.6.2 Industrial Scales

Note

For industrial scales, the only data needed is the gross weight. The data can (but does not need to) include the unit of measure, mode or status. If the unit of measure is included, it can be used to change the capacity label on the 1280 display. If not, the 1280 will always assume it is primary units.

If the mode is included, the scale will display an error if anything other

than the gross mode is indicated. If the

mode is not included, the weight is assumed to be gross. If status is included, it is ignored with the exception of the center of zero indica

tor. The serial scale cannot determine if the reading is within the center of zero band. The only way to show the center of zero band is to have the host indicator include that information (using the status token) in the data.

80 ca

Though the 12

nnot zero an industrial serial scale (zeroing must take place on the host indicator), it is possible

to take a tare and display the resulting net weight.

Digital filtering is available with the use of an industrial serial scale. If digital filtering is enabled and the display division size of the incoming weight data is greater than the display division size of the industrial serial scale configuration, the displayed weight will count by the smaller division size, due to the averaging nature of the filters.

6.2.1 Local/Remote Operation

Note

Local/remote support provides a function equivalent to that of an indicator via web server with network access. The display on the local indicator is also displayed at the remote unit, and keypad input from the remote unit is treated the same as keypad input on the local indicator.

1. Connect both indicators to the same Ethernet

2. Look up the local indicator’s IP address by pressing the Wi Network Information screen), or look it up under the

Features/General menu to change the Local/Remote Server Address to the

IP address of the local indicator.

4. When in weigh mode, the remote will display a copy of remote indicator are passed back to the local to perform their intended function.

• It is recommended to use static IP addresses (set DHCP to Off) when using the local/remote feature, to avoid

connection issues.

• For an indicator to show its own display, the Local/Remote Server Address must be set to 127.0.0.1. The

display is treated as a remote if any other IP address is entered.

• If the configuration switch is pressed on the remote indicator, the remotes configuration menu is shown on the

remote only. If the configuration switch is pressed on the local indicator, the locals configuration menu is shown on both indicators.

• If the local indicator goes off-line, the remote indicator’s display is blank, or has dashes for the weight.

• The remote indicator can only display the local’s display and return key/touchscreen presses. Weight data is

not available at the remote indicator for functions such as printing, serial data streaming or setpoints.

Using an Internet Browser as a Remote Display

Parameter Description Batch Continuous

Percent 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.

Pause Pauses the batch sequence indefinitely. A Batch Start signal must be initiated to

continue the batch process.

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. Wait Standstill Suspends the batch sequence until the scale is at standstill. X Counter Specifies the number of consecutive batch sequences to perform. Counter setpoints

should be placed at the beginning of a batch routine. Auto-Jog Automatically checks the previous weight-based setpoint to verify that 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.

Notes:

The AUTOJOG digital output is typically used to signify that an AUTOJOG operation is being performed.

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.
