SECTION 1. General Information
1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1.1 General Description
The DXp-10 and DXp-15 (Figure 1-1) are microprocessor based weight transmitters. DXp­10/15 transmitters sum and convert the millivolt signal from up to four strain gage type load cells into a digital and/or analog voltage or current signal (up to eight cells can be summed using an external 308A summing unit). Bridge excitation voltage is factory selectable for 10 or 15 volts. Units are available in NEMA 4, NEMA 4X or explosion proof enclosures for field mounting. The unit operates from either 110 or 220 VAC at 50/60 Hz, and is equipped with screw terminal connections for power input, and serial/analog outputs. Set-up and calibration is per-formed using three internal switches (see SECTION III). Communication baud rate and instrument address values are selected via a bank of internal DIP switches (see SECTION III).
Class I, II, Division 2, Group A-G hazardous location requirements and are optionally available with FM and CSA approvals and certifications.
1.2 OPTIONS
1.2.1 Mounting Options
For corrosive, hose down, or sanitary environments, a NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure is available. An explosion proof enclosure is available for Class I, II, Division 1, Group B-G locations. Note: BLH 404 or 405 Intrinsic Safety Barriers must be specified for weigh systems located in a Division I area.
The DXp-10 Transmitter performance specifications are designed for inventory and other static weighing applications where moderate resolution and speed is required. The DXp-15 Process Transmitter is equipped with high performance circuitry that provides the greater resolution and speed for dynamic process applications. Externally and in regard to set-up and operation, each model is identical
Using RS 485 serial communication protocol, up to sixteen DXp transmitters can be networked to an LCp-40, 41, or 42 Network Controller. The serial format can also be configured to provide point to point or network communication to a customer supplied computer.
1.1.2 Standard Instrument
The standard instrument includes an RS 485 serial port with BLH Digi-System network or a simplex output protocols, a four cell summing circuit, 10 or 15 volt excitation, averaging filter, and a NEMA 4 mild steel, painted enclosure. Standard instruments are designed to meet
Figure 1-1. DXp-10 Weight Transmitter
1.2.2 Optional Terminal Computer Interface.
The terminal/computer interface option provides a simple mnemonic half-duplex ASCII communications protocol via a built-in macro language consisting of 1 to 3 character command strings (reference Table 4-3).
This powerful feature allows direct keyboard control (using easily remembered commands) of
1-1
DXp-10/15 calibration, and programming or recall of weight variables (gross, net, tare, zero, etc.) An on-line help function is available by transmitting an ASCII Ir.
Easily learned macro language syntax greatly simplifies the writing of a host computer communication interface (customer supplied).
1.2.3 Optional Modbus RTU Interface.
The Modbus interface option provides a simple seamless communication link to any PC, PLC or DCS with a mod-bus RTU Driver Option. Use of this industry standard protocol (see paragraph
4.1.4) eliminates the requirement for custom
software driver development.
1.2.4
DXp-15 transmitters may be ordered with the Fisher ProVox protocol. ProVox protocol allows the DXp-15 to interface directly with a Fisher ProVox distributed control system (DCS).
Optional Fisher ProVox Protocol
1.2.5 Optional Allen-Bradley Remote I/O
Optional Allen-Bradley Remote I10 (RIO) allows 13Xp¬15 transmitters direct access to a PLC master processor. In essence, DXp-15 transmitters become direct coprocessors with the PLC. DXp-15 data is read directly into the
main ladder logic program without using BCD or serial interface cards. A simple three wire RIO network connection ties all units together, even if multiple DXp15s are used. Within the RIO network link, each DXp-15 is addressed as 1/4 'logical rack'. Since a PLC logical rack consists of 128 input and 128 output bits (or points), DXp units communicate 32 input and 32 output bits; 1/4 logical rack format. For a full description of logical rack addressing and data communications formatting, reference the Allen Bradley Remote I/O technical manual, BLH part number TM010.
1.2.6 Analog Option.
An optional analog output provides both a 4-20 mA and a 0-10 VDC output representing the gross weight value. The circuit uses a 12 bit D-A converter providing up to 4096 counts of resolution. The current output drives up to a 1000 ohm load and the voltage output will operate with a 25,000 ohm minimum load resistance.
1.2.7 Software Filter Option.
The digital filtering option offers eight software filtering selections. The filter algorithms dampen noise by averaging successive A-D conversions. Digital filtering allows East response to true weight changes by setting limits on averaging based upon the magnitude of signal change. Filter selections are presented in SECTION III. Note: BLH tech note TD-071 provides a full discussion of filter operation.

SECTION 2. Installation
2.1 INTRODUCTION
2.1.1 General.
The DXp-10/15 is designed to 'installed within the length of the load cell(s) cable which is normally 35 ft or less. The standard NEMA 4 or optional NEMA 4X enclosures are suitable for an outdoor or wash down type environment. Both enclosures are provided with pre-punched holes for installation of conduit or cable fittings and holes for mounting to a bracket or wall.
2.2 MOUNTING
2.2.1 Standard Units.
The NEMA 4 and NEMA 4X enclosures are equipped with four pre-punched holes for mounting to a wall or bracket. A U-bolt can be used for mounting to a pipe support. The
instrument should be installed in a vibration-free location within the normal length of the load cell cables. If conduit is used, drains should be provided to reduce the possibility of condensate entering the enclosure. Outline dimensions for the standard DXp¬10/15 transmitter are presented in Figure 2-1.
2.2.2 Explosion-Proof and Division 2 Options.
DXp units may be ordered with an optional explosion-proof enclosure for use in Division I hazardous locations. Dimensions for the optional explosion-proof enclosure are provided in Appendix C.
For Division 2 applications, FM approved units are available as non-incendive devices in NEMA 4/4X enclosures with dimensions identical to those presented in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1. DXp-10 Outline Dimensions
2-1
Figure 2-2. Load Cell Connections.
2.3 ELECTRICAL
2.3.1 Transducer Inputs.
Up to four load cells can be connected to the summing circuit within the DXp. Connect individual load cells directly to the circuit board connectors as shown in Figure 2-2. Excitation and signal connection locations are dearly marked according to function and standard color code.
If more than four cells are required, an external 308A summing junction box must be used. Make all load cell connections in the 3084 unit, not the DXp-10/15. Connect the output leads of the 3084 summing box to the load cell #1 terminal blocks in the DXp. Sense leads from the 3084 must be connected to the sense terminal blocks in the DXp-10/15 (Figure 2-2). Jumpers JF1 and JP2 must be removed.
2.3.2 Serial Communication.
If a deadweight or substitution method of calibration is being used, the load cal cable can be shortened as required. The leads should be re­tinned before the final connection is made.
NOTE: If tension or universal load cells are used, red (-signal) and white (+ signal) leads may need to be reversed.
A terminal connector is provided for RS 485 wire connections (Figure 2-3). Multiple DXp transmitters, networked together, are wired in a parallel configuration with a termination jumper installed on the last instrument. A pair of twisted wires (14-20 gauge) is all that is required for interconnection. Communication lines should not be run near ac voltage power lines.
Figure 2-4. Ac Power Connections and Fuse
2-2
2.3.3 Analog Output.
When the analog option is installed (shown, Figure 2-3), a three position terminal connector is provided for 4-20 mA, 0-10 V, and common connections. As with serial communication, the wiring should be routed away from ac power lines and other sources of EMI. The current output is essentially immune to noise and can be transmitted long distances. The voltage output is susceptible to EMI/RFI and should be used only for short distances.
2.3.4 Mains (AC) Power (Figure 2-4).
A screw terminal is provided for permanent transmitter power connection. DXp transmitters
can be switch selected to operate at 115 or 220 VAC (see SW1, Figure 2-4). Before connecting power to the unit, verify that the proper power selection has been made. The two position terminal block is equipped with a clear plastic cover to prevent operator injury. Cable can be either solid or stranded 12 or 14 gage with a ground conductor.
The transmitter is protected with a 114 amp slow blow fuse, located adjacent to the mains terminal block. If the fuse opens, replace it with the same type and current rating.
2.3.5 Auxiliary I/O Port.
The auxiliary I/0 port connection is a factory test port and is not useful to an operator.
2-3
SECTION 3. Configuration
3.1 GENERAL
Set-up and calibration of the DXp-10/15 is accomplished by an operator without programming using the DIP switches, push­buttons, and toggle switches within the unit. Units connected to an LCp-40 or computer ter­minal can be set-up and calibrated remotely via the serial port (see Appendix E).
3.2 SET-UP
3.2.2 Excitation Voltage.
All units are shipped from the factory set for 10 volt excitation.
3.2.3 Serial Format, Address, and Baud Rate.
DIP switch selections for transmitter address, baud rate and serial interface format are presented and defined in SECTION IV, Serial Communication.
3.2.1 Power Selection
All units are shipped from the factory configured for 115 VAC operation. To change the voltage selection to 230 VAC, change SW1 (see Figure 2-4) to the 230V setting. The unit will operate within specification at 50 or 60 Hz.
3.2.4 Input Range Selection.
Units are shipped configured for a 25 mV input range. To increase this range to 35 my, remove the jumper shunt from JP2 on the A-D converter board as shown in Figure 3-1 (see Appendix A photo for A-D board location).
Figure 3-1. 35 mV Input Conversion Instructions
3.3 CALIBRATION
Note: All switches mentioned in paragraphs
3.3.1 – 3.3.4 are depicted in Figure 3-1.
3.3.1 Digital Calibration.
The transmit only serial output can be digitally calibrated using the DIGITAL selector, 1NC/DEC
and ENTER switches mounted on the DXp­10/L5 control panel. For those systems where applying a full capacity dead weight or input signal is not practical, the DXp-10/15 will automatically calculate a linear full span calibration based on a single span point. See Table 3-1 for instructions.
3-1
3.3.2 Analog Calibration.
The analog output is calibrated independently of the digital calibration and can be set using span points anywhere between zero and full scale capacity. The 0-10 V and 4-20 mA outputs CAN NOT be calibrated independently. See Table 3-2 for complete analog calibration instructions.
3.3.3 Monitor Mode Calibration.
The terminal/computer interface option enables the DXp-101L5 to be calibrated remotely from a host computer or terminal. The monitor mode functionally accesses the software routines used to provide remote access via the keypad of an LCp-40 Network Controller. In response, the DXp-10/15 transmits two lines of information similar to the two line display on an LCp-40. In this mode the capacity, graduations, decimal
point, 5 point linearization and other values can be established from the host device. Help messages also can be accessed at any time to aid in the set-up process. The procedure recorded in Table 3-3 shows the command sequence required to perform remote calibration. Consult SECTION IV for serial communication details.
3.3.4 LCp-40 Calibration.
When networked to an LCp-40, 41, or 42 controller, the DXp-10/15 can be remotely calibrated using the controller display and keypad. In this configuration, up to five linearized span points can be entered. Appendix E presents step by step flow diagrams for remote LCp-40 calibration and parameter set­up.
Figure 3-2. Set-up and Calibration Switch Locations (Shade)
Table 3-1. DXp-10 Digital Calibration
Instructions
[1]. Connect Load Cells and Remote Terminal.
Install the load cells and wire them to the DXp-10/15. Connect the RS 485 serial output to a compatible terminal/readout device. Select a compatible serial output format and establish that the communication link is operating (paragraph
3.2.3).
[2]. Establish Zero.
Make sure that all dead weight (vessel, mixer, pipes, etc) is applied as it will be during normal operation. Move the five position slide switch (Figure 3-2) to the digital zero position. Press the enter button to acquire zero and wait approximately 5 seconds for the zero reference value to be stored. The red OPTION STATUS LED will resume flashing when the storage procedure is complete.
3-2
[3]. Load System.
Apply a known ―live‖ weight value to the
scale/vessel or input a known mV/V signal from a BLH 625 calibrator to the DXp unit. (NOTE: An external mV source cannot be used to calibrate a DXp-10/15. A BLH 625 calibrator is required. If a 625 calibrator is not available, contact a BLH field service center for assistance.)
[4]. Establish Full Span.
Move the 5 position slide switch to the digital span position. Use the increment/decrement toggle switch to increase or decrease the displayed (terminal/output device) weight value until the displayed value matches the known weight value. Note that the rate of the value change accelerates the longer the switch is depressed. When the desired value is displayed, press the enter button and wait approximately five seconds for storage. Again, the red OPTION STATUS LED will resume flashing when storage is complete. NOTE: There is no decimal point available using this calibration method. The DXp will default to the best resolution possible based upon the scale capacity and input signal.
[5]. Resume Normal Operation.
Return the 5 position slide switch to the run position. Digital calibration is complete.
Table 3-2. DXp-10 Analog Calibration
Instructions
[1]. Connect Load Cells and Volt/Current Meter.

3.4 CHECK CAL
The standard transmitter is provided with a check cal feature that can be operated manually by pushing a button on the DXp operator panel (see Figure 3-1) or remotely via the serial port. This feature provides a check of the instrument calibration to verify that drift or other problems have not occurred. Check cal uses an internal shunt resistor circuit to provide a fixed repeatable signal into the input of the transmitter. The input signal produces a known output which can be verified by viewing the terminal/meter used to perform calibration.
Due to the infinite variety of calibrations and applications, a range of shunt calibration values are available by changing the position of the resistor circuit component carrier in socket U6 on the A/D board. Access is obtained by removing the card rack cover and should be performed by a qualified technician. In most cases, a value that produces a signal equal to 80% of system capacity is desired. Table 3-4 lists the positions and resulting percent of output given a typical 2.0 mV/V load cell application.

3.5 FILTER SELECTION
3.5.1 Standard Filter.
Standard filtering offers simple successive averaging of A-D conversions to stabilize the output signal. Pressing and holding the enter button accesses the selection mode: the increment/decrement toggle switch changes the setting. As the setting is changed, the OPTION STATUS LED flashes to indicate the selection. Average selections of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 are available (Table 3-5).
Table 3-5. Standard Filter Selections
Hold down enter key and toggle INC/DEC key for
selections.
3.5.2 Optional Digital Filtering.
Optional digital filtering offers the benefits of successive averaging without the corresponding delay in response time to real weight changes. Digital filtering software determines the number of A-I) conversions to be averaged on a moving basis (Figure 3-3). Conventional averaging takes place at the selected rate within a window of counts defined as 'band (Table 3-6). If the signal exceeds the band count limits, averaging continues on a reduced basis within the larger window of counts designated 'response'. Once the signal exceeds both windows, band and response, averaging stops until the signal begins to stabilize again. This two-dimensional approach provides fast, accurate, and stable weight data for difficult process weighing applications. Consult BLH technical note 7D-071' for a complete explanation of optional digital filtering.
Pressing and holding the ENTER button accesses the filter selection mode: the increment/decrement toggle switch changes the setting. As the setting is changed, the OPTION STATUS LED flashes to indicate the selection (one flash = setting one, etc.). Table 3-6 (upper portion) defines the parameters of each of the eight possible selections. Releasing the ENTER button stores the

4.1 GENERAL
The DXp-10/15 is equipped with a variety of standard and optional serial output formats that are selected using a series of DIP switches (Figure 4-1). DIP switch positions 1, 2, and 3 allow three format choices; Digi-System network, continuous output, and terminal/computer interface (Table 4-1). All three types of DXp interfacing will be discussed in the following paragraphs. Positions 4-7 designate transmitter address for applications requiring more than one DXp unit (Table 4-2). Switch position 8 is unused and should be left in the '0' (ON) position.
NOTE: If the MODBUS option is installed and enabled, use the DIP switch selections presented in Figure 4-2• (Page 4-4).
interface is much greater than simple analog current or voltage approximates. Simplex outputs are transmitted in the format on page 4­2, top left-hand column.

4.1.1 LCp-40 Digi System Network.
Up to 16 DXp-10/1.5 transmitters can be networked to the LCp-40 Network Controller. The half duplex format used to run the network is designed to provide remote operation of gross, net, tare, zero, calibration/set-up, and diagnostics, at high speed. This format is not intended for direct interface with a terminal or computer. The baud rate is selectable to accommodate systems with very long (low baud) or short (high baud) distances between DXp units.
4.1.2 Standard Simplex Output (Continuous Output).
The simplex output format is designed to transmit gross weight data (ASCII coded) to a remote terminal or computer. The accuracy of this point to point, digital communication

4.1.3 Computer/Terminal Interface (Optional).
This half duplex (transmit and receive) format is designed for two way communication between a single D4-10/15, or a network of DXp-10/15 units, and a computer/terminal. Protocol accommodates all operations such as gross, net, tare, zero, as well as remote set-up, calibration, and filter selection. Use of this format requires customer developed device specific software to run the various network operations. Table 4-3 defines the terminal interface protocol. Monitor mode (see Table 4-3) allows many of the LCp¬40 keypad switch functions to be implemented from the host terminal/computer. These functions are essential when performing remote calibration and parameter set-up.

4.1.5 Fisher ProVox Protocol (Optional)
DXp-15 transmitters may be ordered with the Fisher ProVox protocol. Units equipped with this option communicate with a Fisher ProVox C16921 external interface card, configured for the 'Toledo' interface. For a further description of the hardware and software aspects of this interface, refer to BLH technical document TD-
073.
Definitions for the byte and bit formats transmitted by the DXp-15 are presented below. To select the ProVox protocol option, DIP switch positions 1-3 must be set to 14,1. Baud rate is fixed at 4800 continuous output.
NOTE: Hardware requirement - An external hardware converter is required to change the DXp-15 RS-485 output to 20 mA current loop for interface with the ProVox CL6921 card.

5.1 GENERAL
As a stand-alone unit (no terminal, computer, or LCp-40), either analog or digital, the DXp-1W15 typically transmits only gross weight data upon power-up. If the DXp-10/15 is being operated remotely from a host terminal, computer, or LCp­40, it can perform gross, net, tare, and zero functions.
5.2 GROSS WEIGHT WEIGHING
In the gross mode, all of the live weight of the system is transmitted. Live weight does not include the dead weight of a vessel or other mechanical equipment that is zeroed out during calibration.
5.3 ZERO OPERATION
A new zero can be acquired to compensate for changes in the dead load of the system due to heel build-up etc. Acquiring a new zero reference value does not affect the slope of the calibration. The zero function in the DXp¬10/15 can be configured for either a 2% or a 20% ceiling (max percent of full scale capacity) if the unit is connected to a host terminal/computer or LCp-40.
5.4 NET WEIGHT WEIGHING
Net weight weighing is used when the operator wants to reset to zero to compensate for the
Table 5-1. Error Codes and Flashing Display Explanations
addition of live weight, or a container, before adding a specific amount of material. Tare is used to establish a zero reference in net mode.
5.5 TARE OPERATION
With the DXp-10/15 in net weighing mode, the tare operation resets the output to zero. Taring allows the operator to achieve a new zero reference before addition of each ingredient so that errors do not become cumulative.
5.6 ERROR DETECTION
When the DXp is reporting weight data to a host computer, dashes will be transmitted if an overrange condition occurs. When connected to an LCp-40, the node identification and dashes will be transmitted and displayed. When used in the monitor mode, a complete library of error codes is available for transmission (see Table 5-
1).
5.7 CHECK CAL OPERATION
Manually depressing or remotely activating check cal through the serial port causes the transmitted weight data to increase by the given percentage (see Table 34). In systems using a host computer, this check can be made on a routine basis to verify the accuracy of the system.
