1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. The Two Manuals
This Reference Manual is part of a set of two manuals covering the setup and
operation of the HBM WE2110. The set includes a Quick-Start manual and a
Reference Manual.
The Quick-Start manual contains all the information needed to set up and calibrate
the WE2110. It requires a minimum of reading as it makes use of simple graphics
and flow charts wherever possible. It is an ideal installation guide for those installers
with a little experience with digitally programmed indicators, or anyone who has used
the WE2110 before.
The Reference Manual (this book) contains detailed information on the WE2110, and
includes data on the extended modes of operation. It has a more technical
presentation.
1.2. The WE2110
The WE2110 is a precision digital indicator using the latest Sigma-Delta A/D
converter to ensure extremely fast and accurate weight readings. This advanced
technology allows the WE2110 to be configured for up to 100,000 divisions with up to
60 A/D conversions per second. The WE2110 has extended sensitivity adjustment
which can handle scales with outputs ranging from 0.2 to 3.0 mV/V for full range. Its
design is optimized to deliver precision performance on scale bases delivering above
0.5 mV/V at display resolutions of up to 6000 divisions in single range mode, or 3000
divisions in dual range mode.
The WE2110 has a green six digit 14 mm LED display with additional indication
weighing and output status. It can either operate from mains supply from 86V ... 260
VAC 48-62Hz or from stable DC supplies between 12 and 24.
The setup and calibration are digital, with a non-volatile security store for all setup
parameters. There is an NVRAM store to ensure day to day operating settings (zero
/ tare / clock etc) are retained when power is removed. There is a built-in clock for
date-stamping printed outputs.
The WE2110 has a simplified keypad to minimize operator confusion.
The instrument has four trip points with status display on the front panel.
Two optional expansion cards are available for the WE2110. The first is an Analogue
Output card giving isolated 10,000 counts 0 - 10 volt and 4 - 20 mA precision
outputs. The second is an Output Driver card which provides 4 opto-isolated open-
collector output drive transistors (one for each setpoint), and 4 opto-isolated inputs
(one for each front button). There is only one expansion slot.
Serial outputs are standard in the WE2110. These allow communication with external
computers, printers and remote displays. Two RS232 Serial outputs are available.
One of the outputs can also provide RS422/485 format.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1. Introduction
The WE2110 can be used as either a desk-top or panel-mount instrument. It

contains precision electronics and must not be subject to shock, excessive vibration,
or extremes of temperature, either before or after installation. The operating
environment must fall within the allowed temperature range and humidity.
The inputs of the WE2110 are protected against electrical interference, but
excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation and RFI may effect the accuracy and
stability of the instrument. The WE2110 should be installed away from any sources
of electrical noise. The load cell cable is particularly sensitive to electrical noise, and
should be located well away from any power or switching circuits. Termination of the
load cell shield at the WE2110 end (with a sound connection to the WE2110 case via
the DB9 plug) is very important for EMC immunity.
2.2. Panel Mounting
Panel mount requires the optional mounting kit, consisting of a pair of clamp slides.
The unit can be fitted into DIN 43 700 standard 138(-0/+1)mm x 67(-0/+1)mm panel
cut-out.
Remove the two 5mm screws attaching the side clamp slides to the rear of the case.
remove the slides to the rear. Fit the case into the panel from the front. Replace the
side slides into the slots. Replace the two 5mm clamp screws. Do not over-tighten
the screws as this could damage the case.
2.3. Power Supply
The power supply for the WE2110 must be a AC input between 86 and 286 volts
from 48 - 62 Hz.
For the DC-version of the WE2110 the supply need not be regulated, provided that it
is free of excessive electrical noise and sudden transients. This WE2110DC can
operate out of good quality plug-packs of sufficient capacity to drive both the
WE2110 and the load cells. The case ground connection is available on the power
connection socket.
The WE2110 complies with all the relevant EMC standards, and carries full CE
approval provided that the case ground connection is correctly made. The resistance
measured between the case of the WE2110 and the nearest earth point should be
less than 2 ohms.
2.4. Load Cell Signals and Scale Build
The WE2110 can drive any number of full bridge strain gauge load cells up to the
equivalent of eight 350 ohm cells (44 ohm load).
The span range of the load cell outputs (the change of signal from the loadcells
between zero load and full gross load) must be within the range of 0.2 to 3.0 mV/V.
Very low output scale bases can be used with the WE2110, but may induce some
instability in the weight readings when used with higher resolutions. Generally
speaking, the higher the output, or the lower the number of divisions, the greater the
display stability and accuracy.
5
The dead load output of the load cells can be anywhere within the range of +2.0
mV/V. The zero calibration of the WE2110 cannot cancel out dead load outputs
outside of this range, and some means of load cell shunting will be required. When
shunting load cells use only good quality metal film resisters with high temperature
stability ratings. Typical values for zero adjustment would fall within the range of
500k ohms (small effect) to 50k ohms (larger effect).
The WE2110 has a mV/V meter test mode which can be used to check scale base
signal output levels. Refer to Section 5.8.
2.5. Load Cell Connection
The load cell shield MUST be installed so as to connect electrically with the metal
shell of the DB9 plug in order for the WE2110 to provide it’s full EMC resistance. Any
noise absorbed by the cable shield must be conducted as quickly as possible to the
WE2110 case via the DB9 plug shell, then direct to a solid earthing point via the
earth terminal in the power input socket.
Six Wire Connection

The connection is made using a standard DB9 male plug. The load cell socket is
wired for six wire systems as follows:
Pin Function HBM Colour

1 Positive Excitation Blue (Green with
four wire)
2 Positive Excitation Sense Green
3 Negative Excitation Black
4 Negative Excitation Sense Grey
9 Positive Signal White
8 Negative Signal Red
5 Load Cell Shield Yellow
Sense Lines MUST be connected
When wiring load cells use only high quality shielded multi-core cable. The cable
should be run as far away from any other cabling as possible (minimum separation
distance 150mm). Do not bundle load cell cables with power or control switching
cables as interference can trigger display instability, and cause unreliable operation.
Four Wire Connection
When a four wire load cell system is connected, pins 1 and 2, and pins 3 and 4 must
be joined by solder bridge or wire bridge to ensure that the excitation voltages are
fed into the sense inputs (pins 2 and 4). Failure to do this will result in the WE2110
displaying an error message (E0040, E0080 or E00C0). The unit will not operate if
the sense pins are not connected correctly.
2.6. EX-I Applications

The WE2110 can be installed with the Zener barrier SD01 for EX-i applications.
The real six-wire connection is necessary in this case to achieve an acceptable
performance. The WE2110 itself is not intrinsic safe and has to be installed outside
the hazardous area.
6
Connections for an EX-I application
The following tables show the recommended limits:
Not legal for trade WE2110 with Zener barrier SD01: (Input signal ≥
0,2 µV/e, divisions 3000d, load cells 2mV/V)
No of load cells Minimum yield of the Minimum yield of the load
load cells 350 Ω cells 700 Ω
1 7% 6%
2 11 % 7%
3 14 % 9%
4 17 % 11 %
6 24 % 14 %
8 31 % 18 %
Legal for trade WE2110 with Zener barrier SD01: (Input signal ≥ 1,0
µV/e, divisions 3000d, load cells 2mV/V)
No of load cells Minimum yield of the Minimum yield of the load
load cells 350 Ω cells 700 Ω
1 36 % 28 %
2 53 % 36 %
3 70 % 45 %
4 87 % 53 %
6 - 70 %
8 - 87 %
The minimum yield of the load cells is proportional to the divisions. E.g. at 2000d and
4 load cells 350 Ohm the minimum yield is 58%. These calculation are valid for an
7
overall cable resistance of max. 3,5 Ohm per leads. Larger cable resistance increase
the minimum yield.
2.7. Serial 1 - Networking Port
Serial 1 is the first of the WE2110 standard serial ports. This port has two types of
output drivers (RS232 and RS422/485) and is fitted with transmit and receive. It is
intended to be used either as a connection link to external computers or PLCs, or as
a driver for remote displays. External devices can be connected as either RS232 or
RS422/485 4 wire, or RS485 2 wire.
All connections for the port are on the Serial 1 connector. This is a standard DB9
socket requiring a female DB9 plug. Since both the RS232 and RS422/485 are
connected in parallel within the WE2110, they will both output exactly the same
message. The connections for the outputs are shown below

8 TA RS422/485 Transmit A (-)
9 TB RS422/485 Transmit B (+)
The table above shows the connections for RS422/485 in a four wire configuration.
Connect shield as directly as possible to the metal DB9 shell.
The end devices in a multi-drop RS422/485 network must be provided with
termination resistors to balance the network loading. These resisters are built into
the WE2110 and they can be enabled or disabled using the digital setup, refer to
Section 5.5.
!! Do not connect pins 6 .. 9 to the PC if RS232 is used. !!
2.8. Serial 2 - Printer Port
Serial 2 is the second of the WE2110 standard serial ports. It is fitted with a
transmitter, basic handshaking (DTR type), but no receiver. It is intended to drive
serial printers. Like Serial 1, it can be configured to download the weight data
automatically to a remote display.
All connections for the port are on the Serial 2 connector. This is a standard DB9
socket requiring a female DB9 plug. The only output available from Serial2 is RS232.
The connections for this are shown below.
Note that pins 6..9 of serial 2 are connected directly to pins 6..9 of the Serial 1
connector. This provides for convenient implementation of multi-drop RS422 or
RS485 communications.

4.1. Introduction
In basic weighing mode, the WE2110 acts as a simple weight readout with printing
and serial output capability. Each button triggers the weighing operation printed on it.
The WE2110 allows individual buttons to be disabled in the setup. All keys are
enabled at factory, but some buttons may have been intentionally disabled during
installation. If a button beeps to acknowledge the press, but does not appear to
trigger the desired action, this may be due to three possible causes.
1. The button has been disabled in setup

2. The weight is outside of limits permitted for that button operation
3. The operation is being blocked by motion in the scale weight.
The successful operation of a key is quitted by a short beep, the unsuccessful one is
quitted by a long beep.
4.2. Using the Primary Functions
4.2.1. ZERO BUTTON
This button is used to perform a zero setting on the scale display if the empty scale
has drifted away from a true zero reading. The zero setting is stored by the WE2110
when power is removed, and is re-used when next powered up (see also 0 and
.11.3.4)
The range of the zero setting is limited according to the digital setup of the unit (see
also 5.4 and 11.3.37).
4.2.2. TARE BUTTON
This button is used to temporarily set the scale to zero (such as in the case of
cancellation the weight of a carton before performing a filling operation). The display
will show NET weight and the NET indicator will be lit (see also 0 and 11.3.31)
The TARE button can operate over the entire valid range of the display. In Trade
Mode the Tare Button will not operate if the gross weight is negative. Negative tare is
permitted in Industrial Mode.
The weight tared is deducted from the allowable range of the scale, reducing the
maximum weight that can be displayed.
13
A two second press on the Tare button accesses the trip-point settings on
installations when setpoint mode is used.
4.2.3. GROSS/NET BUTTON
The action of this button is to toggle the weight display between the Gross weight
and the Net weight provided that a Tare has previously been acquired using the Tare
button (see also 0 and 0).
A two second press of the Gross/Net button accesses the safe setup menus (refer to
5.1.1).
4.2.4. PRINT
If a printer or computer has been attached to the WE2110 and the manual print
function selected, the Print button will trigger a output of the current weight reading
(see also 0 and 11.3.23).
Stability Considerations
Once a Zero, Tare or Print button is pressed the unit waits for a stable valid reading
before performing the associated operation. If the weight readings remain unstable
or invalid due to some Diagnostic Error for longer than 15 seconds the operation is
cancelled and an error message is displayed.
It is possible in non-trade applications to bypass this feature so that the operations

are performed immediately upon button press. See Section 5.7, page 32, for details.
4.3. Setpoints - Direct Operator Access.
The WE2110 can drive up to four set points. The status of the outputs is displayed
on the “1, 2, 3 and 4” lamps in the display. If a lamp is ON, the corresponding output
is energised. Note that in multi-range applications that these lamps are used to
indicate the current range, and do not show the setpoint status.
The trip values (Target, Flight) of these setpoints can be accessed directly by
pressing the TARE ([SELECT ITEM]) button for 2 seconds. Full access to all
setpoint options is only possible through the normal digital setup menus. See Section
5.9, page 34 for details.
Use the following procedure for direct operator changes to setpoint trip values:
Press [SELECT ITEM] for 2 seconds to enter the Setpoint Operator Setup.
Press [SELECT ITEM] to select a setpoint parameter.
14
Press [SELECT CHANGE] to check or change the parameter.

Use the [SELECT CHANGE] and [CHANGE] buttons to edit the value shown.
Press [SELECT ITEM] to save changes and exit, or [SELECT GROUP] to abandon
the changes.
Press and hold [SELECT ITEM] for 2 seconds to return the WE2110 to weighing
mode. Any new values entered will be used immediately.
15
5. DIGITAL SETUP
5.1. General Setup Information
5.1.1. Introduction
Digital setup and calibration is carried out entirely from the front panel using the
secondary functions on the Control Buttons. There are two methods of entering the
digital setup program.
The FULL SETUP is accessed by removing the security screw at the right of the
keypad, and pressing the concealed button behind the screw. This setup program
allows all steps to be accessed, including calibration.
The SAFE SETUP is accessed by pressing the Gross/Net button for at least 2
seconds. Safe Setup is similar to the Full Setup, except all critical steps controlling
the calibration and trade operation of the WE2110 cannot be accessed. Safe setup
only permits those digital functions to be accessed that will not effect a trade scale’s
certification.
Once configured and calibrated, the WE2110 can be passcode protected (see
Section 5.1.12 on page 21) to prevent unauthorized tampering. If the scale has been
previously passcode protected, Safe Setup cannot be accessed until the correct
code has been entered.
5.1.2. Terminology
A knowledge of the basic weighing terms is useful in setting up and calibrating the
WE2110. The terms used include “Units”, “Range”, “Count-by” and “Graduations”.
These terms are used throughout the setting procedure and are defined as follows:-
Units describes the actual units of displayed measurement (kilograms, tones, pounds
etc)
Range describes the total change in weight between zero gross load and full
capacity gross load. It is always given in displayed weight units. This is the
nominated total capacity of the scale.
Count-by (E1 or E2) describes the smallest change in weight units that the display
can show.
Graduations describes the maximum number of display steps between zero gross
load and full capacity gross load. It is equal to the Range divided by the count-by.
Example:- A 10,000kg 2.0mV/V load cell is used in a application with a 5000kg

range, displaying in 5kg steps.
The values of each of the above terms is:-
Units = kg Range = 5000 Count-by = 5 Graduations = 1000
Signal Voltages are as follows:
The fullscale load cell signal is (5,000 / 10,000) * 2.0 mV/V = 1.0 mV/V
16
Since the WE2110 uses 8 V excitation, the absolute signal voltage is 8 * 1.0 = 8.0
mV The signal resolution is therefore 8.0 / 1000 = 0.008 mV / division or 8 µV /
division.
5.1.3. Dual Interval and Dual Range Operation
The WE2110 provides both Dual Interval and Dual Range modes of operation as
well as the traditional single range setting. In non-trade operation, up to 100,000
divisions are available so it is rare for the precision of the displayed reading to be a
problem. However in Trade applications where the number of divisions that can be
legally displayed is limited, the use of Dual Interval or Dual Range operation allows
greater precision in the displayed readings without exceeding the maximum number
of graduations available in the certification of the load cell.
Both of these modes of operation allow for WE2110 to operate with 2 count-by
settings so that it is possible to weigh for example up to 2 kg in 1g increments and
then up to 5kg in 2g increments.
Dual Interval and Dual Range are identical in many respects and can be treated the
same for the purposes of setup and calibration. The difference in the two comes
about in the operation of the scale. With Dual Range operation the range is
determined based on the gross weight. Once the scale changes from low range to
high range it may not change back to low range again until the scale is returned to a
stable zero reading. Dual Interval operation however is based on the net weight and
no restrictions are placed on the change from the high interval to the low interval.
With Dual Interval operation it is therefore possible to weigh in the low interval with
high tare weights.
The WE2110 is equally accurate in either mode but due to hysteresis effects with
many load cells it may not be possible to operate accurately in Dual Interval mode.
In these cases Dual Range mode ensures that the weight readings taken from the
load cell are accurately displayed during loading and unloading operations.
5.1.4. Direct mV/V Operation
It is possible to calibrate WE2110 without test weights if the output capacity of the
load cell is known. For applications like silo weighing etc where it is impractical to
use test weights this mode of operation allows the mV/V signal strength at no load,
as well as the mV/V signal strength of the span to be entered directly. This type of
calibration is only as accurate as the load cell output figures but for many
applications this is more than adequate. Extended features like multi-range and
linearisation are not compatible with this form of calibration. For more details see 6.3.
5.1.5. Totalising – Summing Function
The WE2110 can add single weight and store the sum in an internal storage. The
following steps are needed for that:
• Select printer type TOTAL or A.OTAL
• If SERIAL 2 is set to PRINT then the output goes to the printer as well. If set to
OFF the output goes only to the display.
17
• Pressing the PRINT-Key forces the WE2110 to add the current weight to the
sum. The W2110 displays (COUNT) (000004) – no of items is four, followed by
(TOTAL) (003456) – sum is 3456.
• Pressing the PRINT-Key for 2 seconds does not add, but displays the no of items
and sum again, print out this information if selected and deletes the sum.
• Using external keys in connection with the optional setpoints the following
extended functions can be realized:
• Display the sum w/o deleting it
• Display sum and delete – as 2 seconds PRINT-Key
• Undo last print
5.1.6. Peak storage and Display freeze
Using external keys in connection with the optional setpoints the following extended
functions can be realized. These functions are only possible in the INDUSTRIAL
mode:
Peak storage
• First press peak value is displayed – unit flashes
• Second press back to normal display
• 2 seconds press sets the storage to zero
Freeze of the display

• First press display is on hold –unit flashes
• Second press back to normal display
5.1.7. Maintenance Date
The WE2110 is able to indicate that it is now due to do a re-calibration or a regular

check of the system. This is set in the menu items QA.OPT and QA.DATE in the
CLOCK menu. If the time is over the WE2110 displays (CAL) (DUE). Pressing a key
this message can be disabled, but will occur again later on. Finally this message can
only be switched off by changing the QA-date in the Full-setup.
5.1.8. Filtering Techniques
The WE2110 has a number of advanced filtering options available which allow it to
be optimized to produce the most accurate readings possible in the shortest time.
There is a trade off between noise filtering and the step response time of the system.
The step response being the time between placing a weight on the scale and the
correct weight reading being displayed. This does not effect the number of readings
per second that are produced, it simply defines the amount of time that is required to
determine a final weight reading.
FIR Filter:
18
The first level of filtering provided is a FIR filter that is linked to the measurement
rate. The measurement rate is set in the SYNC option of the SPEC menu. This filter
is a very high performance ‘tuned’ filter that provides up to 180 dB of attenuation at
multiples of the SYNC frequency and broad band filtering of between 40 and 80 dB
generally. For example setting the SYNC frequency at 25Hz would provide 180 dB
of noise rejection at 25, 50, 75 … Hz .
Changes to the SYNC setting effect the calibration of the system, so it is wise to
determine the primary noise frequency of the system prior to calibration. Often the
primary noise source is the mains power so the SYNC is usually set to 50 or 60Hz
depending on mains frequency. However for applications with high levels of
mechanical noise it is better to tune this filter to the natural frequency of the scale.
(e.g. a mixing paddle in a hopper scale may induce a vibration of 40 Hz)
The FIR filter introduces a delay of 3 samples to the step response. So for a SYNC
frequency of 50Hz (i.e. readings every 20 milliseconds) there is a delay of 60
milliseconds between a weight change and the final weight reading.
Digital Averaging:
In addition to the FIR filter the WE2110 has two levels of digital averaging. The first
is a fixed length sliding window average where the average of the last ‘n’ readings is
calculated. As each new reading is taken the oldest reading is discarded and a new
average calculated. The length of the window is set using the FILTR option from 1
reading to 200 readings. Each reading in the average adds a delay to the step
response equal to the measurement period. For example an average of 10 readings
with a SYNC frequency of 50Hz results in a step response of (10 + 3) * 20 = 260
milliseconds.
The second average is similar to the first but has a variable length which grows from
1 reading up to a maximum of 10 readings. If a disturbance on the scale is detected
the old readings are discarded and a new average starts all over again. Each of the
10 readings is calculated over the window length of the fixed average. In this way
very long term averages are calculated without causing any delays. The amount of
fluctuation that causes the average to be restarted can be selected as FINE or
COARSE in the JITTER option. The COARSE setting is more tolerant of weight
change than the FINE.
5.1.9. Subtractive and Additive TARE

The WE2110 can operate subtractive and additive tare functions.
Subtractive Tare allows tareing in a fixed weighing range limited by ZERO and MAX
(given by CAP1 or CAP2). Weights over the tare value are positive, weights under
are negative. Beyond that fixed weighing range the WE2110 shows overload or
underload. Any tare value is subtracted from the weighing range and reduces the
usable (positive) range of the scale.

Weight Weight
°* = Fixed points - not influenced by Tare-Value

= Variable points - set by Tare-Value
With Additive Tare (AT) the load-limit is calculated by MAX + AT-Limit (given by
AD.TARE). The size of the weighing range is the same as with subtractive tare (Zero
to MAX), but this range is shifted by the tare value in the larger “window” between
Zero and MAX + AT-Limit.
If the tare value is below the AT-Limit there is no reduction of the usable weighing
range. The WE2110 indicates positive weights from tare value to tare value + MAX.
It does not indicate negative values.
If the tare value is over the AT-Limit the WE2110 operates as subtractive tare. The
usable weighing range is between tare-value and the load-limit.
! Using the Additive Tare please be sure that the load cells can stand the load-
limit !

5.1.10.Trade versus Industrial Mode
The WE2110 may be operated in Trade or Industrial mode. Following is a list of the
differences in operation for each of the two modes:
ITEM TRADE INDUSTRIAL
Underload -1% or -2% of fullscale -105% of fullscale

depending on zero range setting
Overload Fullscale +9 divisions 120% of fullscale
TARE TARE values must be > 0 No restrictions on TARE.
Preset TARE Not available 2 second press of the Tare

gives access. Press [SELECT
CHANGE to enter value
De-Zero Not available 2 second press of the Zero

Key will clear the zero setting
Test Modes Display limited to 5 seconds Unlimited time allowed
HOLD and PEAK Not available Operate via remote functions
5.1.11.Setup Counter
Within the Setup program there is a number of critical steps that can effect the
calibration or trade performance of the WE2110. If any of these steps are altered, the
trade certification of the scale could be voided. These steps are automatically
blocked in the Safe Setup (refer to the Quick Manual diagrams).
The WE2110 provides a built in Setup Counter to monitor the number of times the
critical steps are altered. The value of this counter is stored within the unit, and can
only be reset at the factory. Each time a critical step is altered, the counter will
increase by one. Whenever the WE2110 is powered up, or Safe Setup is accessed,
the current value in the counter is displayed briefly.
5.1.12.Passcodes
The WE2110 has two passcodes that provide a security lock on the setup program.
One passcode is used to secure the Safe Setup and the other one is used for Full
Setup.
These Passcodes are set in the “SAFE.PC” and “FULL.PC“ ITEMS in the “Special”
GROUP. A setting of “000000” clears the Passcode and allows free access to the
related setup. This is the default setting and must be changed by the installer to
restrict operator access . Any other number will enable the passcode function and
restrict access to the setup routines.
When a passcode is enabled, the WE2110 will stop for passcode confirmation before
entering Setup. A default passcode will be displayed. This number must be changed
21
using the [SELECT CHANGE] and [CHANGE] buttons, and the new number entered
using the [SELECT ITEM] button. Correct code entry will allow access to the Setup.
An incorrect passcode will trigger an error message and the display will return to
normal weighing.
The Safe Setup passcode may be cleared or changed at any time by using the Full
Setup. This will require the Seal Screw to be removed and the entry of a Full Setup
Passcode if enabled. The passcode for the FULL Setup must not be forgotten as it is
only possible to circumvent it at the factory. Clearly care must be taken with the use
of the FULL Setup Passcode to ensure that the instrument is not permanently
locked.
Functions of the passcodes:
SAFE.PC: Protects only the SAFE Setup, which can be entered pressing the
[SELECT CHANGE] key for two seconds. The interface is not blocked at
all. This is meant to protect against misuse by the operator.
FULL.PC: Protects the FULL Setup, which can be entered through the hidden
setup button and bocks the interfaces regarding trade relevant changes.
This is meant to keep the control about the maintenance.
5.2. Operation of the Setup Menus
5.2.1. Entering SETUP
There are two methods of entering setup mode. One accesses the complete Full
Setup. The other only allows access to the more restricted Safe Setup.
SETUP ACCESS
[SETUP] Enter and Exit Full Setup
(behind screw) mode.
GROSS/NET BUTTON
GROSS/NET Enter Safe Setup mode.
(2 seconds)
If a passcode has been set it is necessary to enter the appropriate passcode to gain
access to the Safe Setup.
Once access to the Setup has been achieved the display will show (SEtUP) for two
seconds before displaying the first group title.
22
5.2.2. Groups, Items, and the Setting Buttons
All setup options in WE2110 are organized into Groups and Items.
Groups The digital settings are divided into a series of
“Groups”. Each Group has a distinctive Group Title.
All items in any one Group have related functions.
Items Each Group is divided into numbers of individual
setting “Items”. Each item represents a parameter
that can be changed.
In the entire setting process, only four main operations are required. Each operation
is assigned one button. The four basic operations are as follows:-
ZERO/SELECT GROUP
[SELECT GROUP] Steps through the list of available Groups .
Returns the display to Group Headings List
from anywhere
TARE/SELECT ITEM
[SELECT ITEM] Steps through the list of Items within a given
Group.
Returns the display to Item Headings List from
anywhere
GROSS/NET / SELECT CHANGE

[SELECT Selects the displayed Item or digit to be
CHANGE] examined or changed.
PRINT/CHANGE
[CHANGE] Changes the flashing digit or steps through
available settings.
If an entry has just been changed using the [CHANGE] button, the WE2110 will
automatically save the new value when returning to the Items list (Press
[SELECT GROUP]). To discard the change press the [SELECT ITEM] key
instead.
23

5.5. Scale Calibration (CAL)
For scale calibration procedures refer to Section 6 CALIBRATION.
Certain items in the Scale Build and Options sections can effect the calibration of the
scale. Always check that these two sections are correctly configured to suit the
current application before attempting to Calibrate the scale.
The only non-calibration step available in the group is the Factory Calibration step
(FAC.CAL). This step can be used to return the WE2110 to its original factory
calibration. This serves to clear all calibration and calibration information when a
WE2110 is being moved to a different scale application.
Zero ⊗ Zero Operates the zero calibration. The message

Calibration “Z. in. P” (Zero in Process) is displayed.
If direct mV/V calibration is selected the zero

signal in mV/V can be entered. The WE2110
prompts the current mV/V reading.

freely accessed.
4. Press the [SETUP] button once.
5. Reseal the button with the seal screw. In trade applications, the screw head
can be sealed with a destructible verification sticker.
5.13.3. Method 3 - Leaving Setup
Press the [SELECT ITEM] button for 2 seconds. This leaves the setup in any case.
36
6. CALIBRATION
6.1. Introduction and Warnings
The calibration of the WE2110 indicator is fully digital. The calibration results are
stored in permanent memory for use each time the unit is powered up.
Some of the digital setup steps can effect calibration. The (BUILD) and (OPTIONS)
sections of the digital setup MUST be completed before calibration is attempted.
Most importantly, the (TYPE) and (SYNC) settings must not be changed after
calibration.
To perform a calibration, select the (CAL) Group using [SELECT GROUP]. Due to
restrictions in Trade Use applications, the Calibration Routines are not available in
Safe setup (accessed through the GROSS/NET button). Calibration can be
accessed only through the Full Setup using the hidden [SETUP] button behind the
seal screw.
The calibration program will automatically prevent the WE2110 from being calibrated
into an application outside of it’s specification. If an attempt is made to calibrate the
WE2110 outside of the permitted range, an error message will show and the routine
will be abandoned. Refer Section 11 Command Set (extended) page 57.
The WE2110 has a wide-range amplifier section. The non-trade calibration range of
the instrument extends well beyond the Trade approved range. It should not be
assumed that just because the WE2110 has successfully calibrated a scale, that the
scale is correct for trade use. Always check the scale build against the approval
specification.
6.2. Using the Digital Calibration
Start from the (CAL) group header. This is the third group to appear when setup is
started.
Press [SELECT ITEM] to choose the ZERO or SPAN calibration Item. It is important
that an initial ZERO calibration is performed before any SPAN calibrations.
6.2.1. (ZErO) - Zero calibration routine

• Press the [SELECT CHANGE] button to start the zero routine running. The
display will show the current weight. Remove all weight from the scale structure.
• Press the [CHANGE] button to execute Zero Calibration. The display will show
(Z.in.P) to show that zeroing is in progress. When the process is complete the
display will return to weight to allow the zero to be checked.
• Press the [SELECT ITEM] button to leave the Zero routine.
6.2.2. (SPAn) - Span calibration routine

• Press the [SELECT CHANGE] button to start the Span setting routine. The
display will show the current weight on the scale.
• Add the calibration test mass to the scale. The minimum acceptable span
calibration weight is 2% of the scale range. A weight this small may limit
37
calibration accuracy. The closer the test weight is to full range, the better the
accuracy.
• Press the [SELECT CHANGE] and [CHANGE] buttons to change the display
reading to equal the calibration weight being used.
• Press the [SELECT ITEM] button to trigger the Span Calibration routine. The
display will show (S.in.P) to show that spanning is in progress. When the process
is complete the display will return to weight to allow the new weight reading to be
checked.
• When the Span Calibration is complete, press the [SELECT ITEM] button to
leave the routine.
Refer to 5.13 Leaving SETUP page 36 for details on leaving calibration.
6.3. Direct mV/V calibration
This calibration mode can be set in 5.3. Note that the linearisaton function is not
possible here. The absolute adjustment of the WE2110´s internal mV/V basis has
a tolerance of 0,1%.
How to proceed:
• Select direct mV/V mode in <BUILD> <TYPE> <DIRECT>
• Enter decimal point <BUILD> <DP>
• Enter scale capacity <BUILD> <CAP1>
• Enter verification interval e1 <BUILD> >E1>
• Select unit <BUILD> <UNITS>
• Go to CAL menu. Press [SELECT ITEM] to choose the ZERO or SPAN
calibration Item. It is important that an initial ZERO calibration is performed
before any SPAN calibrations.
• Do a zero calibration – see quick start manual for that. Zero calibration allows
entry of the dead load in mV/V and defaults to the current reading upon entry.
E.g. having an empty vessel the default value can be taken directly.
• Calculate the span value in mV/V = SensitivityLC * CAP1 / (nLC * CAPLC)
• Do a span calibration. Span allows entry of the span signal in mV/V at nominal
load. E.g a vessel with 4 load cells 30t ( = 120t load cell capacity), sensitivity
2mV/V and nominal load of the scale 60t the span value is 1mV/V.
• Select further settings in the option menu
6.4. Using the Linearisation
This section provides instructions on the use of the linearisation. First follow the
steps outlined above for zero and span calibration. Both the zero and span
calibration points are used in the linearisation of the scale base. These two points
are assumed to be accurately set and thus have zero linearisation error.
Up to five linearisation points can be set independently anywhere in the operating
range of the scale. Unused points may be cleared.
38
Important: The linearisation changes the entire scale sensitivity without zero
and calibration point. Therefore please double check the scale in critical load
ranges. Linearisation is not possible with the direct mV/V calibration.
6.4.1. (Ed.Lin) - Edit Linearisation points
• Press the [SELECT ITEM] button to view the list of linearisation points currently in
use.
• Press the [SELECT CHANGE] button to step through the list of points. Each
point is shown as ‘Ln. ppp’ where n is the point number 1..5 and ppp is the
approximate percentage of full scale where the linearisation is applied. For
example L1. 50 designates that linearisation point number 1 is active and was
entered at about 50% of full scale. Used linearisation points are shown with a
row of dashes (e.g. L2. ----).
• Add the calibration test mass to the scale. The closer the test mass is to the
point of maximum error in linearity the more effective will be the correction.
• Press [SELECT ITEM] to change the linearisation point selected or press
[SELECT GROUP] to exit without making any changes.
• Press the [SELECT CHANGE] and [CHANGE] buttons to change the display
reading to equal the calibration weight being used.
• Press the [SELECT ITEM] button to trigger the Linearisation routine. When the
process is complete the display will show the weight for 5 seconds to allow the
new weight reading to be checked before returning to the menus.
6.4.2. Clear Linearisation.
• Press the [SELECT ITEM] button to view the list of linearisation points currently in
use.
• Press the [SELECT CHANGE] button to step through the list of points. Each
point is shown as ‘Ln. ppp’ where n is the point number 1..5 and ppp is the
approximate percentage of full scale where the linearisation is applied. For
example L1. 50 designates that linearisation point number 1 is active and was
entered at about 50% of full scale. Used linearisation points are shown with a
row of dashes (e.g. L2. ----).
• Press [SELECT ITEM] to clear the linearisation point selected or press [SELECT
GROUP] to exit without making any changes.
• This linearisation point is now cleared.
6.5. Factory Calibration (FACCAL)
Reset the factory calibration. The setup of the parameters is not influenced by that.

7. The Serial Outputs
7.1. Introduction
The standard WE2110 provides a number of different serial output options allowing
communications with such external devices as printers, computers, PLCs or remote
displays. Two serial outputs are available. each on a separate DB9 connector
socket. Serial Port 1 is bi-directional (in RS232 or RS422/485), and can be set for
driving Automatic Weight Output, or Network. Serial Port 2 is RS232 transmit only,
and can be set for Automatic Output or Printing (with DTR handshake). The WE2110
requires an external converter to transmit in TTY Current Loop (20mA).
The various printer and serial output options are enabled using the Serial Options
Menu (Serial) in the digital setup procedure.
Computer communications can be set from simple automatic “streamed” output,
through to multi-drop networked systems. The WE2110 can be programmed and
calibrated via the network if required. The setup counter will increment when the
calibration related steps are accessed via the serial port. This means that calibration
via the serial port cannot be carried out without effecting the certification of a trade
installation.
The bit pattern of the serial data can be altered, as can the start and end characters
of the automatic data strings.
Printer Driving allows for three basic printer outputs including a date and time
stamped printed ticket with a custom header if required. An automatic print mode is
available where the WE2110 automatically generated printouts at the appropriate
time in the weighing process.
7.2. Automatic weight output from the WE2110
The automatic output is normally used to drive remote displays, or dedicated

computer or PLC communications. The output generates a simple weight message
at intervals programmed in the digital setup.
The WE2110 Auto Weight String consists of 2 basic Weight Formats along with 3
Programmable Characters. The weight format and Programmable Characters can be
redefined in the setup. If a Programmable Character is set to NULL (ASCII 00) then it
will not be transmitted. The standard string is as follows:-
START - <Weight Format String> - END1 - END2
Where:
START = Start character - normally ASCII 02 (can be changed)
END1 = First End character - normally ASCII 03 (can be changed)
END2 = Second End character - normally NULL (can be changed)
Note:- START, END1 and END2 characters can be defined in setup to suit the
receiving device. An alternative configuration may be START = NULL, END1 = CR
(carriage return - 13), END2 = LF (line feed - 10). This type of setup would better suit
printer type devices.
40
Weight Formats are as follows
Format A: HBM standard Format
Sign - Weight(7) - STATUS
Where
Sign = Blank or "-"
Weight = 7 ASCII characters of including decimal point. If no decimal, then first
character is blank (hex 20). Leading zero blanking applies.
STATUS = G/N/U/O/M/E for Gross, Net, Underload, Overload, Motion and Error.
Format B:
STATUS - Sign - Weight(7)- Units(3)
Where
Sign = Blank or "-"
Weight = 7 ASCII characters of including decimal point. If no decimal, then first
character is blank (hex 20). Leading zero blanking applies.
STATUS = G/N/U/O/M/E for Gross, Net, Underload, Overload, Motion and Error.
Units = 3 ASCII characters, the first being a space. e.g. ‘ kg’ or ‘ t’ . The units string
is sent as 3 blank characters (hex 20) if the weight reading is not stable.
Format C:
Sign - Weight(7)- S1-S2-S3-S4-Units(3)
Where
Sign = Blank or "-"
Weight = 7 ASCII characters including the decimal point. If there is no decimal point,
then the first character is blank (ASCII 32). Leading zero blanking applies.
S1 = G/N/U/O/E for Gross, Net, Underload, Overload, and Error.
S2 = M for motion, blank otherwise
S3 = Z for Center of Zero, blank otherwise
S4 = -/1/2. 1 or 2 for range 1 or 2 if in dual-interval or dual range mode, ‘-‘ otherwise
Units = 3 ASCII characters, the first being a space. e.g. ‘ kg’ or ‘ t’ .
Format D:
Sign - Weight(7)
Where
Sign = Blank or "-"
Weight = 7 ASCII characters including the decimal point. If there is no decimal point,
then the first character is blank (ASCII 32). Leading zero blanking applies.
To set the format via the PC refer to Chapter 11.3.22 PRS – Command.
41
7.3. Basic command set
The WE2110 supports two levels of networking, Basic and Extended. The Basic level
allows for simple weight acquisition by PLC or computer from a number of WE2110
on a simple RS232 or RS422 network. The extended network language allows for full
control over all functions of the instrument. The section here describes only the basic
command structure. For the Extended structure refer to 11.
The WE2110 may be set to respond to commands sent via the serial port from a
PLC or PC. The command structure is:
STX - “K” - (Command) - POLL - ETX
where:
• STX = ASCII code (hex 02)
• “K” is ASCII upper case letter K (hex 4B)
• POLL is two ASCII numbers giving this unit’s network address (set in the
[AddrESS] Item in the [SEriAL] Group).
• ETX = ASCII code (hex 03)
Command Description
Z ZERO button
T TARE button
G GROSS/NET button
P PRINT button
p Print. This triggers the transmission of the current weight using the
format as set in the (Type.A) item of the (SERIAL) group. Use this
command to request weight readings on serial port 1. Use the ‘P’
command to trigger printing from serial port 2
S Show Total
C Clear Total
U Undo Last Print
1 Single Transmit Serial 1
2 Single Transmit Serial 2
H Hold current weight (unit display flashing) / return to normal weighing
e Show peak weight reading (unit display flashing) / return to weighing
E Clear peak weight
42
7.4. RS422/485 Termination Resisters
The termination resistors required by RS422 or RS485 networks are built into the
WE2110. The resisters are used to terminate the ends of the network to provide a
balanced loading.
The termination resisters in the WE2110 are controlled in 5.6.
7.5. Printer Driving
Three types of printout are available. They are based on a 20 or 40 column width
and may be printed on a 20 or 40 column tally roll serial printer, or a 80 column dot
matrix serial printer.
Printing may be initiated by the user pressing the Print Key. The WE2110 may also
be set to auto-printing. Auto-printing triggers an output when the scale reaches no
motion with a weight above the pre-set zero dead band.
Listed below are the three available print options.
7.5.1. The single line printout
This is intended to produce the most compact printout a single line of print is output
for each PRINT button press. The printout is as follows.
Output is - ID, Time, Date, Weight, Units, Gross or Net.
Example: 0005 05/10/94 16:47 3654 kg G
7.5.2. Double Spaced Printout
This is a double line printout. ID, date and time in the first row, weight in the second
row.
7.5.3. Full Printed Ticket
This setting produces a full ticket-style printout containing all the weight parameters.
It includes the date and time. Allowance is made for a two line header at the top of
the ticket. This can be can be programmed by the user to provide for custom tickets.
Up to two lines of 20 characters each is allowed.
The full printed ticket is as shown below.

WEIGHT
TICKET
05/10/94 16:50:12
ID: 0008
T: 654 kg
G: 3654 kg
N: 3000 kg
--------------------
43
The “ID” is a sequential number generated by the WE2110 to identify the individual
ticket. It is stored in the permanent memory.
7.5.4. Printer Space
It is possible to specify the number of columns and rows of space to leave for each
printout. In this way each printout can be separated from the next by a number of
rows of space and the printouts may be centered on the page. The space data is
entered as cc.rr where cc is the number of columns and rr is the number of rows of
space.
7.5.5. Custom Ticket Headers
The 2 lines of 20 characters at the top of the printed ticket can be edited to provide
custom headers including such items as company names and phone numbers.
Select the (HEAdEr) item from the (SEriAL) Group.
Within this setting item, the display shows each of the heading characters in turn
using the following format:-
[L.CC.XXX]
where L is the line number (1 or 2)
CC is the position of the character in that line (01 to 20)
XXX is the ASCII code for the printed character
Use the [SELECT CHANGE] and [CHANGE] keys to edit the message one character
at a time. When the message is complete use the [SELECT ITEM] or [SELECT
GROUP] key to return to the setup system. The printer program can accept all
printable ASCII codes.
Example: The following table shows the coded entry for “JOE’S FRUIT & VEG”. The
‘J’ would be entered as 1.08.074 for line 1, column 8, ASCII Code 74.
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

7.5.6. Custom Ticket Format
Up to 50 characters of ticket format information can be entered to define the exact

style of ticket printout.
Select the (Tic.Fmt) item from the (SEriAL) Group.
44
Within this setting item, the display shows each of the characters in turn using the
following format:-
[CC.XXX]
where CC is the character number (01 to 50)
XXX is the ASCII code for the format character
Use the [SELECT CHANGE] and [CHANGE] keys to edit the format string one
character at a time. Enter NULL (ASCII 00) as the last character in the string. Any
characters entered after a NULL are ignored. When the message is complete use
the [SELECT ITEM] key to return to the menus. Each format character can be a
literal ASCII code (eg 065 for ‘A’) or a special format character (e.g. 132 for \D for a
time\Date field)
Example: The following table shows the coded entry for a custom ticket. The header
is the same as the example custom ticket header entered above.
No. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

7.5.7. Total Ticket Printing
This setting enables totalising. The operation of each press of the Print Key causes
a single line printout of the current weight which is added to the total weight. When
all of the items have been weighted press the Print Key for 2 seconds to print and
clear the total. Refer to Section 9.4for extended totalising functions using external
keys.
An example of a total printed ticket is shown below:

8. SETPOINTS – LIMIT SWITCHES
8.1. Introduction
The WE2110 is fitted with four built-in setpoints. The status of the setpoints is
displayed on four lamps in the display window. An optional Output Driver card can be
fitted to allow each of the setpoints to drive external devices. The lamps then show
the status of the output drivers.
Each of the setpoints provides a simple comperator function that can be modified in
the digital setup for switching direction, hysteresis and logic. These settings are all
that are required to configure normal level or limit operation. Free-Flight (Free-Fall)
functions can be enabled to configure the WE2110 for weight-batching applications.
Weight target and flight settings can be pre-set in the digital setup. This method is
used where the settings are changed infrequently, and are to be as tamper-proof as
possible. Optionally, weight target and flight settings can be set from the front panel
buttons. This allows settings to be changed much more readily by the operator.
8.2. The Status Lamps
The display of the WE2110 contains four status lamps labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4. Each of
these corresponds to a setpoint status, where the lamp number represents the
number of the setpoint displayed. Each lamp is linked with the output driver in such a
way that when the driver is ON (enabled) the lamp is ON.
Note that for multi-range instruments the status lamps are used to show current
range and not setpoint status.
8.3. Connection
Refer to Section 10 ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS page 53 for the method of

connection of the external relay drivers.
8.4. Settings
Setpoint targets and flights can be entered into the digital setup in the Setpoint
Group. The digital setup can be locked with a security code to prevent unauthorized
tampering with the pre-set values.
An alternative method of accessing the setpoint values is via the front buttons.
See Section 4.3 for details on operator access to setpoint parameters.
Any change to a setpoint value will be used immediately.
The following sections describe each of the available setpoint settings
48
Activity
Each of the setpoints may be disabled in the digital setup. Any setpoint set to be
Active will be enabled. Any Inactive setpoint are disabled.
Active Functions Description

- No function – POR command enable
A Setpoint used as limit switch
M Setpoint linked to the motion detection
0 Setpoint linked to the zero detection. The zero band is
calculated as ± ZERO DEADBAND + ½ d. Thus it differs from
the ZERO LED which indicates ± ¼ d.
E Setpoint linked to the error status.
N Setpoint linked to the Net status.
Locking
Individual setpoints can be locked against operator alteration. Setpoints that have
been locked to block access via the TARE key may still be edited in the normal
secure setup.
Source
The Source setting directs each setpoint to operate off either the Gross or Net weight
reading.
Direction
The Logic determines the direction of weight movement that the setpoint is intended
to trip on. It can be set for Over ( for increasing weights) or Under (for decreasing
weight
Logic
The Logic determines the sense of the output. A setting of High will activate the
output above the trip point (assuming direction is Over). A setting of Low will activate
the output below the trip point (assuming direction is Over).
Alarm
The WE2110 can be set to sound it’s internal beeper when any particular setpoint
output is energised. Three types of warning sounds are available to allow the audible
response to designed to suit the weighing application. Audible alarms can be either
continuous, or sounding once, or twice, at one second intervals.
Hysteresis
Hysteresis forces a pre-set margin in the trip point. This stops the output from
‘chattering’ due to minor weight fluctuations at the trip point value.
Targets
This is the target weight value. The WE2110 calculates a trip point based on the
values of target, flight and the direction of operation. For increasing weights (Over)
49
the trip point is the target value minus the flight compensation. For decreasing
weights (Under) the trip point is the target value plus the flight compensation.
Flights
Flight compensation is used in weigh-batching installations to force the feeders to
shut off early to allow for the amount of material still in flight between the feeder gate
and the surface of material already in the weigh-bin. If a setting of 00000 is entered
for the flight, then compensation for that setpoint will be disabled.
Example 1 (Filling a bag):
Direction = Over, Logic = High, Source = Gross, Target = 2000kg, Flight = 50 kg,
Hysteresis = 5 kg. Weight initially 0 kg.
Trip point = target - flight = 2000 - 50 = 1150 kg.
The output will switch ON at a weight over 1150 kg and switch OFF again at a weight
under 1145 kg.
If the Logic is changed to Low, the output will be ON at 0 kg, switch OFF at a weight
over 1150 kg and switch ON again at a weight under 1145 kg.
Example 2 (Loss in weight system):
Direction = Under, Logic = High, Source = Gross, Target = -100kg, Flight = 5 kg,
Hysteresis = 1 kg. Weight initially 0 kg.
Trip point = target + flight = -100 + 5 = -95 kg.
The output will switch ON at a weight under -95 kg and switch OFF again at a weight
over -94 kg.

9. REMOTE INPUT FUNCTIONS
Introduction
The WE2110 has up to four independent remote input functions that may be
triggered by external keys connected to the optional set-point card. The function of
each of these keys may can be configured to any of the options detailed below.
INPUT Description
- No function
0 Operates the ZERO key
t Operates the TARE key
G Operates the GROSS/NET key
P Operates the PRINT key
b Blank the display
L Lock the WE2110
S Show total - only if total functions are activated
C Clear total - only if total functions are activated
u Undo last print - only if total functions are activated
1 Single transmission to serial 1 – serial port has to be configured for
SINGLE operation
2 Single transmission to serial 2 – serial port has to be configured for

SINGLE operation
H Hold current weight (unit display flashing) ) / Return to normal display

E Show peak weight reading (unit display flashing) / Return to normal
display / Long press: Delete peak level.
9.1. Front Panel Keys
The function of each of the front panel keys may be implemented with the remote
keys. The Front Panel keys are designated ‘0TGP” to match Zero, Tare, Gross/Net
and Print.
9.2. Blanking
This function designated ‘b’ for blanking allocates the selected input as a blanking
input. When active this input causes the front display to be blanked to “------“ and
blocks the operation of the front keys. This function is intended for use with tilt
sensors on mobile weighing platforms to block operation of the weight indicator if the
scale is not level. This function may also be used to block operation of the
instrument pending authorization or payment etc.
51
9.3. Locking
This function designated ‘L’ for locking allocates the selected input as a locking input.
When active all keys, including the remote keys are blocked. This may be used with
a keylock switch to lock the instrument when not in use.
9.4. Totalising
To enable totalising it is necessary to select either Total or A.Total from the Printing
Type Menu. See Section 5.6 for details.
When Total Printing is enabled, the Print key is used not only to print the current
weight but to add that weight to the current total. The current total is displayed on the
indicator with the tag ‘Total’. If the total weight is too large to display in 6 digits, it is
shown as “TOT.HI” with the upper 6 digits followed by “TOT.LO” with the lower 6
digits. A long press of the Print key causes the total accumulated weight to be
printed and then cleared. The Print ID number which counts the number of items
printed is also cleared.
Three other functions are available remotely. These are Show Current Total (‘S’),
Clear Total (‘C’) and undo last print (‘u’).
Show Current Total forces the indicator to display the current total weight.
Clear Total prints the current total and clears it .
Undo Last subtracts the last item added to the current total and prints “Last Entry
Canceled”. The Print ID is also updated to account for one less item in the total.
See Section 7.5.7 for details of the printed output from totalising.
9.5. Single Serial Transmission
Two functions (‘1’ & ‘2’) are available to implement a single transmission of weight
data from either of the serial ports. Use ‘1’ to specify serial port 1 and ‘2’ for serial
port 2. To use this feature it is also necessary to configure the respective serial port
for SINGLE operation. See Section 2.8 for details.
Each time a single serial key is pressed the unit transmits one weight message from
the serial port. The format of the message is setup in the AUT.OPT menus and is
exactly the same format as for an equivalent automatic transmission message.
The single serial transmission functions are a convenient way to implement simple
PLC communications and logging without the complexity of setting up two way
communications on the serial ports.
9.6. Peak Storage
With the functions e the peak storage can be operated. The peak storage works
absolute that means -200 over writes +100.
52
10. ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS
10.1. Introduction
The WE2110 can be expanded by the installation of optional accessory cards. Three
different cards are available, an analogue output card, an output driver card with
remote inputs and a combi-card. Only one accessory card can be installed in the
WE2110.
10.2. Installing Option Cards
Isolate the WE2110 from the power before attempting to install an accessory card.
Avoid excess handling of the accessory card as each card contains static sensitive
devices. Hold the card by the edges or mounting plate as much as possible.
Each option card is installed into a slot in the back panel of the WE2110. The slot is
accessed by removing the cover plate at the top left. The connector lead is attached
to the inside of this plate. Separate the lead from the plate taking care not to lose the
lead inside the WE2110. Discard the plate, but retain the two mounting screws.
Plug the lead connector onto the four pin socket on the accessory card. The
connector only fits one way round.
Slide the card into the slot in the back of the WE2110, cable end first, until the
mounting plate is fitted against the back plate. Re-install the two retaining screws
complete with the shakeproof washers.
VERY IMPORTANT
The EMC resistance of the accessory card depend on a sound electrical connection
between the support plate and the case of the WE2110. Make sure that this
connection is as sound as possible by refitting the shakeproof washer under the bolt
heads.
10.3. The Setpoint Card - WE2110/ZS
The standard WE2110 displays the results of checkweigh or setpoint function on the
front panel indicator (3, 4) lamps only. These signals can be used to drive external
devices by installing an output driver card. The card carries four independent opto-
isolated open-transistor drivers. These can be used to operate external devices such
as relays, signal lamps or PLC inputs. The card also has four opto-isolated remote
inputs that can be used to remotely trigger the four front panel buttons.
10.3.1.The Output Drivers
Each of the four driver transistors can switch up to 300 mA each at up to 28 volts
DC. They are current limited at 650 mA. The output stage does not contain a power
source and must be powered externally. The external supply should ideally be from
12 to 28 volts DC. It is strongly recommended that this external supply is as smooth
as possible.
The circuit diagram below shows a typical connection for one of the outputs. Each
driver is protected against electrical noise, but it is strongly recommended that spark
suppressors are fitted across any inductive loads such as relay and solenoid coils.

10.3.2.The Remote Inputs

10.4. The Analogue Output Card – WE2110/ZA
The card provides both a 4 to 20 mA and a 0 to +10 volt output proportional to the
displayed reading. The two outputs are optically isolated from the internal circuits of
the WE2110, but are not isolated from each other.
The current loop driver is active and supplies the source of power for the loop. The
maximum circuit impedance must not exceed 700 ohms.
The Voltage output can drive into loads down to 2,000 ohms. Shielded cable should
be used for connecting the analogue outputs to external devices.
54
The connections for the two outputs are given in the following table.

2 I (+) Current Loop Output
4 V (+) Voltage Output Minimum load - 2000

SHELL GND Chassis Ground Cable Shield
The analogue outputs are factory adjusted and should not require further
adjustment in the field. At no time should the analogue card be removed while
the power is connected as this may permanently damage the indicator.
55
10.5. The Combi-Card – WE2110/ZMCC
This card provides either a –10 to 10 Volt analogue output or a 4 to 20 mA analogue

output. In addition is also provides two digital outputs an 1 input as per the setpoint
card. For more information on the connection of the outputs and inputs see details
on the setpoint card above.
The current loop driver is activate and supplies the source of power for the loop. The
max. circuit impedance must not exceed 500 Ohms.
The Voltage input can drive into loads down to 2,000 Ohms. Shielded cable should
be used for connecting the analogue outputs to external devices.
With the Combi-card card either voltage or current must be selected. It is not
possible to drive both simultaneously. Fine adjustment of the analogue output is
possible using the CAL.LO and CAL.HI options in the ANALOGUE menu.
The following table shows the connection for the Combi-card WE2110/ZCC.

11.2. Command Overview
11.2.1.Commands and Queries
A command consists of three ASCII-characters (e.g. IDN).

A query consists of four ASCII characters and ends with a question mark (e.g. IDN?).
11.2.2. Responses
The WE2110 responds with 0CRLF to indicate that a command has been accepted
or ?CRLF to indicate that the command was either not understood or could not be
performed. If the command causes a further response like MSV? or ADR? and the
command was sent correctly the WE2110 will respond directly without the 0CRLF
string. Only the commands Sxx (Select) and RES (Reset) do never respond.
Specific queries cause the WE2110 to respond with the data requested by the query.
(e.g. The WE2110 would respond with 4 to a ADR? Query if it was setup with
address 4)
As from software status P53x some commands response as follows:
Response of the commands CDL, TAR, TAV, TAS and PRN
?CRLF Command not understood
0CRLF Command correctly operated
1CRLF Scale in motion
2CRLF Range out – e.g. zero setting out of range
3CRLF System error
4CRLF Device not ready – e.g. printer not ready
11.2.3. Parameters
A command or query can be followed by one or more parameters.

Parameters are either numeric (e.g. 3000) or strings (e.g. “Otto”).
String parameters are delimited by quote characters ( ‘“’ ASCII 34). They are taken
literally so that “AbC d” is not the same as “abcd”.
Numeric parameters are variable and leading and trailing spaces are ignored. As a
result 003 03 and 3 are identical.
Parameters are separated by the comma sign ( ‘,’ ASCII 44).
Parameters may be left out completely so that it is possible to change one parameter
without altering the others. For example IAD1,,2; will change the position of the
decimal point only.
11.2.4.Termination
Termination characters are sent to define the end of a command, query or response.
Permissible termination characters are ‘;’ (ASCII 59), LF (ASCII 10), CRLF (ASCII 13
10), LFCR (ASCII 10 13). E.g. ADR?; is the same as ADR? CRLF
58
The WE2110 always uses CRLF as the termination of its responses.
11.2.5. Initial sequence to start communication
Under all circumstances the first command to the WE2110 should be Sxx even if
only one unit is used. That ensures that the WE2110 starts in a well defined way.
11.2.6.Trade Counter
All trade relevant functions are guarded by the trade counter. There is no difference
in changing settings via the communications interface or via the front panel. If the
counter reaches 60000 the WE2110 operation is blocked and it must be returned to
the factory.
Note that the WE2110 does not check to see if new data is different from the old
data before incrementing the Trade Counter, so sending IAD1,6000 will increment
the counter even if the WE2110 is setup with a fullscale of 6000 kg already.

Parameter Description Range Default
1 Address 0 .. 31 31
2 Serial Number “0000001” “xxxxxxx”
.. factory set
“9999999”
Each WE2110 must be assigned a unique address to enable the implementation of a

multi-drop network. This address can be set using the digital setup menus as
described in the reference manual. It is also possible to use the network itself to set
the unit addresses. The ADDRESS COMMAND is used to assign the unit address
via the communications network,
Before the address of a unit can be changed the unit must be selected to respond to
commands. The SELECT COMMAND (see Sect 11.3.29 pg 92) is used to select a
unit. If the current address of the unit is known use this to select the unit, if not
issue the S99; command to select all units. To distinguish between units of the
same address use the serial number parameter of the ADDRESS COMMAND. The
serial number is unique to each units and only the unit with the matching serial
number will respond to the ADDRESS COMMAND. If neither the current address
nor serial number of the units is known, turn off all the units in the network and then
59
turn on one unit at a time. The combination of S99; and ADR commands will then
allow each unit to be configured.

11.3.8. DPF and DPS DEFINE PASSCODE FULL/SAVE

Define the passcodes. The Save Passcode just protects against misuse by the
operator. The Save-Setup cannot be entered w/o the right passcode. It does not
block the serial ports at all. The Full Setup can be accessed normally.
The Full Passcode protects against the access to the Full setup through the keys
and blocks the change of all trade relevant items through the serial ports. So it
enables the control about the maintenance.
Sending the passcode in the free stage defines the passcode and locks the unit,
sending the passcode in locked stage open the unit again until it is deselected.

information
The WE2110 contains both current and latched error status flags. The latched errors
are only cleared by resetting the unit (RES command or power off). The response
string is 4 hexadecimal characters representing the 16 error bits.
Error Description
0001 The power supply voltage is too low.
(check supply)
0002 The power supply voltage is too high.
(check supply)
0004 The load cell excitation voltage is too low.
(check scale/supply)
0008 The load cell excitation voltage is too high.
(check scale/supply)
0010 The temperature is outside of allowable limits.
(check location)
0020 Scale build is incorrect. The number of graduations has
been set < 100 or > 100000.(fix up scale build)
0040 The positive sense line is not connected.
(check connection)
0080 The negative sense line is not connected.
(check connection)
0100 The digital setup information has been lost.
(re-enter setup)
0200 The calibration information has been lost.
(re-calibrate)
0400 The factory information has been lost.
(service)
0800 The EEPROM memory storage chip has failed
(service)
8000 The EPROM memory storage chip has failed
(service)
The status bits are additive. For example if a condition is detected where the power
supply voltage is low, resulting in a reduction of excitation voltage, the resulting
70
status setting will be 0005 (0001 + 0004). The numbers add in hexadecimal as
follows:-
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-A-B-C-D-E-F
(For example, 2 + 4 = 6, or 4 + 8 = C)
Example:
S01; Select unit 1
ESR?; 0000 CRLF No current errors.
ESR?1; 00C0 CRLF Positive and Negative Sense lines were not
connected at sometime in the past.

Note that the full scale weight of the instrument is set to Nominal Load 1 for single
range installations, and Nominal Load 2 for dual-range and dual-interval installations.
In single range installations Nominal Load 2 is not used.
Example:
S01; Select unit 1
IAD?1; 1,3000,0,1,0 CRLF
IAD1,4000,1,2,0; 0 CRLF max1 = 4000, e1 = 2 with 1
digit after decimal point on
range 1. x10 mode is off.
TDD1; 0 CRLF save setting.
If IAD? is issued without the range parameter then the returned data is range 1 for
single range setup or range 2 for dual interval or dual range setup. In this way it is
possible to query the maximum load without the need to issue a WMD? Command to
determine the weighing mode.

11.3.29. Sxx SELECT UNIT
The Sxx command is used to select one or more units with which to communicate. It
should be used under all circumstances as first command to the WE2110 even if
only one instrument is connected.
S00 to S31 selects a single unit with the matching address 00 to 31.
S96 to S99 have special functions:
S96: de-select all units.
S97 & S98: All units are selected but none reply to commands. This
mode is very useful for blanket commands for an entire network of
units.
S99 selects all units and all respond. S99 is useful when a single unit
is connected to the network as it is possible to select this unit
regardless of its address setting.

12. Error Messages

A number of error message may be displayed to warn of operation outside of
acceptable limits. These messages are given below. Short messages (xxxxx) will
appear as a single message on the display. Longer massages (xxxxx)(yyyyy) will
appear on the display in two parts, first the (xxxxx) part, then the (yyyyy) part.
12.1. WEIGHING ERRORS
These messages show status messages or errors that have occurred during the
normal weighing operation.
(U-----) The weight is below the minimum allowable weight
reading.
For Trade scales below the zero setting range.
Unimportant for industrial scales.
(O-----) The weight is has exceeded 9 graduation above full range
in Trade mode.
The weight is has exceeded 120% of full range in Industrial
mode.
(ZERO) (ERROR) The weight reading is beyond the limit set for Zero setting.
The operation of the ZERO button is limited in the setup
during installation. Zero cannot be done at this weight.
(Use TARE instead.)
(STABLE)(ERROR) Scale motion has prevented a Zero, Tare or Print operation
from occurring on command. (Try the operation again once
the scale is stable.)
(PRINT) (ERROR) A printer problem has prevented the printout from being
completed. (Look for loss of printer power, no paper or
cable fault.)
(CAL) (DUE) Maintenance required. See Sect.5.1.7.
12.2. SETUP ERRORS
These messages warn of setup entries that are not acceptable to the program.
(RES) (LO) The scale build is configured for less than 100 intervals.
(Check the interval and capacity settings)
(RES) (HIGH) The scale build is configured for more than 100.000
intervals. (Check the interval and capacity settings)
(CHEC) (TRADE) # At least one parameter is not acc. to OIML requirements.
Check the trade relevant items. This is only checked in the
TRADE mode when leaving setup.
Error numbers:
1 = Verification interval e1 or e2 >50
2 = Graduations >6000d
3 = No weighing unit selected
4 = Motion detection is set to NONE
5 = Zero tracking not OFF or 0,5d/s
6 = Zero setting range not ±2% or -1% +3%
7 = Zero dead band not set to 000000
8 = Buttons set for instant operation
9 = Direct mV/V calibration selected
102
12.3. CALIBRATION ERRORS
These messages warn of incorrect calibration technique, or of attempts to calibrate

the beyond it’s specification.
(ZERO) (HI) The load cell output is beyond allowable zero calibration
range. (Check for incorrect scale connection. Reduce the
dead load, or shunt the load cells.)
(ZERO) (LO) The load cell output is below allowable zero calibration
range. (Check for incorrect scale connection. Increase the
dead load, or shunt the load cells.)
(SPAN) (LO) The load cell signal range (span) is too small for these
settings. (Incorrect span weight entered. Scale wiring
incorrect. Wrong load cell capacity [too large]. Wrong or no
calibration weight added to scale.)
(SPAN) (HI) The load cell signal range (span) is too large for these
settings. (Incorrect span weight entered. Scale wiring
incorrect. Load cell capacity too small for application.)
(NO) (ZERO) A new must be zero calibrated before span calibration can
be attempted.
12.4. DIAGNOSTIC ERRORS
The continually monitors the condition of the internal circuits. Any faults or out-of-
tolerance conditions are shown on the display as an E type error message. In the
table below the following terms are used:-
• (check) = this item can be checked on site by service personnel
• (service) = the must be returned for factory service
(E 0001) The power supply voltage is too low.
(check supply)
(E 0002) The power supply voltage is too high.
(check scale / cables)
(E 0004) The load cell excitation voltage is too low.
(check scale)
(E 0008) The load cell excitation voltage is too high.
(check scale)
(E 0010) The temperature is outside of allowable limits.
(check location)
(E 0040) The positive sense line is not connected.
(check connection)
(E 0080) The negative sense line is not connected.
(check connection)
(E 00C0) Both sense lines are not connected
(check connection)
(E 0100) The digital setup information has been lost.
(re-enter setup)
(E 0200) The calibration information has been lost.
(re-calibrate)
(E 0300) All setup information has been lost
(enter setup and calibrate)
(E 0400) The factory information has been lost. (service)
103
(E 0800) The EEPROM memory storage chip has failed (service)

(E 8000) The EPROM memory storage chip has failed (service)
The “E” type error messages are additive. For example if a condition is detected
where the power supply voltage is low, resulting in a reduction of excitation voltage,
the resulting Error messages will be E 0005 (0001 + 0004). The numbers add in
hexadecimal as follows:-
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-A-B-C-D-E-F
(For example, 2 + 4 = 6, or 4 + 8 = C

13. Failures and solutions
Symptom Solution
Display not stable • Check connection to the load cells
• Filter connector for load cell not used
• No proper connection of the cable
screens to the housing of WE2110
• DC unit not connected to ground
• Display resolution to high
No communication to PC with RS232 • Check serial settings BITS, Com-port,

baud-rate
• Null-Modem-Cable used. This does not
work as the RS485 is at the same port.
Connect only Rxd, TxD and GND.
Bus communication does not work with • No Select command send before
RS485 (4 wire only) communication
• 2 – wire connection is not possible
• Bus termination (menu BITS) not set
with last unit
• Check converter RS232/485.
