Controller PCB
The IND310drive terminal’s controller printed circuit board (PCB) supports scale
function interface boards, including single analog, dual analog, POWERCELL, or
single analog and POWERCELL interfaces. Supply voltage for the POWERCELL is
12 volts. The external POWERCELL power supply voltage is 24 volts.

Communications ports (COM1 and COM2) are RS-232/20 mA CL and RS485/422

compatible. Both serial ports are available simultaneously for transmitting;
however, only one can receive data at any given time. A USB and an Ethernet port
are also available. Connections to the controller PCB are made using removable
terminal strips with wire sizes ranging from 24 to 16 AWG.

Display and Keyboard

The IND310drive terminal has an LCD display that shows the terminal’s status,
including the active scale, date, and time across the top, the current application in

more information
about setup.

Security
The IND310drive supports two levels of users/passwords for setup security:
Administrator and Limited. An administrator-level user can access all setup areas
of the terminal. A limited-access-level user can access all areas of the setup except
for the Scale and Diagnostics blocks.

The terminal is pre-configured at the factory with a user name of “ADMIN” and a
user name of “Operator”. The pre-configured users (ADMIN and Operator) cannot
be changed, only the passwords can be added or modified. The factory default
passwords are null (no password). The unit as configured at the factory requires
no login or password entry to enter the setup mode. All functions of the terminal
will be available to all users until a password is entered. Be sure to remember the
password configured for the ADMIN user. If the password is changed or forgotten,
access to the setup menu will not be available. Be sure to protect the password
from access by unauthorized personnel. The password provides access to the
entire setup menu, unless the metrology switch is placed in the approved position.

Ensure that a password has been configured for the ADMIN user prior to
configuring any passwords for other users. Failure to configure the ADMIN user
password before configuring other user passwords could result in being
blocked from access to the entire system.

measures rules. Selection of the approval from None to one of the above
choices also enables use of the metrology switch and its settings as described
in the Metrology Switch section.

Keystroke Functions
Key names and commands are identified in this manual by upper- and lower-case
letters. Key names, such as ENTER, are in all upper-case letters, and commands,
such as “select,” are in lower-case (unless they begin a sentence, in which case
the first initial is upper-case). For example:

• “Press INDEX...” means to press the INDEX softkey.

• “Select an option...” means to use the UP or DOWN arrow navigation keys to
select a setting, then press ENTER.

No Vehicle Application Operation

No vehicle application operation mode enables operation of the terminal without
any vehicle application. The IND310drive functions as a weighing terminal, but
with no transaction functions. This mode of operation can be used for weighing
tanks, rail cars, or other large items not associated with transaction weighing. See
Chapter 3.0, Configuration, Application, Vehicle Weighing for information about
setting up the terminal for no vehicle application operation.

Application Operation
Routine operations with all vehicle features enabled in setup include four modes of
terminal operation:
• Vehicle ID Weighing—Uses a permanent stored Vehicle ID table to identify the
tare value of the vehicle, and then follows the steps defined by the outbound
process to complete the procedure, which is also called a transaction. Vehicle
ID Weighing enables the accumulation of totals based on vehicle ID.
• Temporary ID Weighing—Coordinates the inbound and outbound processes
for vehicles that are not permanently stored in the Vehicle ID table through the
use of a Temporary ID table. Temporary ID Weighing stores the vehicle
information in the Temporary ID table and follows the inbound process. It also
removes this temporary entry when the vehicle returns and follows the
outbound process. The entry is temporary, so accumulation of totals does not
occur.
• Index Weighing—Enables the Vehicle ID Weighing mode and Outbound
process to be condensed through the use of a special Index table that provides
a single ID reference for quick multiple ID look-ups.
• Transient Weighing—This mode enables weighing of vehicles that are not
part of normal operation in a manner similar to the Vehicle ID Weighing mode.
Transient Weighing does not use the Vehicle ID table, so the operator must
enter vehicle data. Transient Weighing transactions are not included in totals.
There are two weighing processes:

• Outbound—Completes the vehicle transaction. The gross, tare, and net weight
values are now known. Other transaction information may be collected (A1–A4
table data, Variable 1, and/or Variable 2 data). The completed transaction
information is stored and can be printed.
• Inbound—Enables the vehicle identification information and a stored weight
value to be collected. Other transaction information may be collected (A1–A4
table data). The inbound transaction information is stored and can be printed.

2-11
IND310drive Technical Manual

Direct Entry Option

An alternative method to initiate a transaction is direct entry of known data. To use
this option, enter any type of known data, such as a tare weight on the main
weighing screen to initiate a transaction. Press a softkey or scale function key to
select how the terminal uses the information. For example, enter a tare weight and
press the TARE scale function key. The data entered becomes a manually-entered
tare.

Vehicle ID Weighing
Vehicle ID Weighing uses the Vehicle ID Table where vehicle IDs, descriptions, and
permanent stored tares are entered prior to operation. Totals of vehicle weights are
also maintained in the Vehicle ID Table (if enabled in setup). To view or edit the

Vehicle ID Table, press the VEHICLE ID TABLE softkey at any time.

To use Vehicle ID Weighing:

1. From the default weight screen (Figure 2-6) press the DOWN arrow key to
display all available softkeys (see Figure 2-7).

 IND310drive Technical Manual

4. If the vehicle's ID is located in the Vehicle ID table, the terminal uses the stored
data (including tare weight) and continues with the outbound process. To continue
the transaction, see Outbound Process.
5. If the vehicle's ID is located in the Vehicle ID table and the vehicle ID tare weight
was entered as zero or left blank, then the first transaction with that vehicle ID is
taken as an inbound transaction. During the inbound transaction, the IND310drive
will prompt the user with “Save this tare weight in the Vehicle ID Table?” Since the
transaction is inbound, the user should answer YES. The tare weight is stored
temporarily in the Vehicle ID table. During the outbound transaction, the
IND310drive will prompt the user a second time with “Save this tare weight in the
Vehicle ID Table?” Since the transaction is now outbound, the user should answer
NO.
If the vehicle’s ID is not located, the display will read ID NOT FOUND (see

5. Press the “OK” softkey when finished to store the vehicle ID information.

Temporary ID Weighing
Temporary ID Weighing involves the use of the Temporary ID Table to record tare
weights for inbound transactions and to recall these weights on outbound
transactions. Manually-entered tare weights can also be used for Temporary ID
Weighing. To view or edit the Temporary ID Table, press the TEMPORARY ID TABLE
softkey at any time.

Following an outbound transaction, the vehicle ID is removed from the Temporary

ID Table. The totals for these types of transactions are not recorded in the
Temporary ID Table, but are recorded in the A1, A2, A3, and A4 Tables if enabled.

To use Temporary ID Weighing:

1. Once the vehicle is on the scale, press the TEMPORARY ID softkey (see
Figure 2-7). If enabled in the Temporary ID setup, an automatic ID number
between 001 and 999 displays, which can be used as the Temporary ID. (See
Chapter 3.0, Configuration, Application, Vehicle Weighing, Database for
information about enabling the automatic ID numbering in the Temporary ID
Table.) To use the automatic number as the ID, press ENTER. To enter more
detailed information:
A. Enter the ID information at the temporary ID prompt that displays with
a cursor in the ID field. The softkeys and application keys become
alpha keys (see Figure 2-5).
B. Use the alpha keys and the numeric keypad to enter the vehicle ID.
Press the ENTER key to complete the entry.
C. If the vehicle ID is found in the Temporary ID Table, the terminal uses
the stored data and continues with the outbound process. To continue

Commodity Function
The commodity function enables the use of custom units on a per commodity
basis (up to 25 different commodities). For example, an operator might want to
use a custom unit of bushels for corn rather than kilograms or pounds. The
commodity table enables the creation of a table (the A1 Table) that defines the
multiplication or division factor that converts kilograms or pounds of corn to
bushels. When the commodity (corn) is weighed, the output shows the converted
amount and custom unit (bushels).

See Chapter 3.0, Configuration, Application, Memory, A1, A2, and A3 Tables for
further information about configuring the commodity function.

re-addressed to a specific new address value. This procedure page requires
entering the new address and then pressing the START softkey .

3-8
 IND310drive Technical Manual

Each load cell has a unique address to identify it. The valid address range is from
1 to 239, with 240 representing the “No Address Assigned” state. The factory
default address for all cells is 240. To change the address manually, connect cells
one at a time and follow the above procedure. Normally, a POWERCELL is
addressed during initial installation only. The only reason to re-address a working
POWERCELL is because it has been moved to a new location.

Cell Power
The Cell Power indicates the current status of the power output to the load cell. This
status is always shown as OFF or ON and is automatically switched off to perform
the addressing operation.

Enter New Address

The New Address entry box enables entry of the value of the new load cell address.
A numeric value appropriate for the specific scale should be entered. The cells are
addressed starting at 1.

Status
The status message line indicates the condition of the current procedure. Valid
status messages include:

• Searching for Cell...

• No Cell Found
• Addressing XX (where XX is the cell address)
• Failed to Address
• Addressed OK

Auto Address
The Auto Address screen enables all of the POWERCELL load cells to be
automatically addressed. If the load cells have never been addressed, this
procedure will step through addressing each one. This procedure requires pressing

the START softkey .

The address for a newly added cell will be the first available address. For example,
if addresses 1, 2, 5, and 6 are assigned and a new cell is automatically
addressed, it will be assigned address 3.

#Ranges/Intervals
Set the number of ranges or number of intervals from one to three on the
#Ranges/Intervals drop-down menu. Specify the capacity and increments for each
range or interval.

Blanking Over Capacity

Blanking the display is used to indicate an over-capacity condition. Set the blank
over capacity for the divisions (d) that the terminal is permitted to go over
capacity. For example, if capacity is set at 100 kg by 0.1 increments and the
blank over capacity setting is 5 d, the terminal can display weights up to
100.5 kg. At weights over 100.5, the display will blank and dashed lines will

an error message that reads “Capture Span Failed” displays.

Zero
There are several methods that can be used to reset the zero condition of a scale
when small amounts of material are on the platform. Two setup screens are
available for these methods:

3-12
 IND310drive Technical Manual

• Auto Zero Maintenance (AZM) & Display

• Ranges

AZM & Display

AZM is a means of enabling "true zero" at all times on a digital scale. AZM
compensates for conditions such as indicator or load cell drift or debris on a scale
platform.

Auto Zero
Use the AZM & Display setup screen to enable auto zero for gross weighing or
gross and net weighing, or to turn auto zero off.

Auto Zero Range

Set the auto zero range for the number of divisions around the original zero in
which auto zero can be applied.

Center of Zero
The center of zero icon can be set to display on the operation screen for
either gross or gross and net weighing. This display can also be set to off.

Under Zero Blanking

Blanking the display is used to indicate an under-zero condition when the terminal
is in the Gross mode (no tare). Set the under zero blanking for the number of
divisions (d) that the terminal is permitted to go under zero.

Ranges
Use the settings on the Ranges screen to enable or disable Power Up Zero and
Pushbutton Zero and to set the ranges around the original zero condition for the
scale for applying these functions.

Power Up Zero
If Power Up Zero is enabled, the terminal resets zero upon power up.

Power Up Range
If Power Up Zero is enabled, +Range and –Range fields will display for setting the
range around the original zero condition for the scale within which Power Up Zero
can be applied. The range units are percent.

For example, if the +Range setting for Power Up Zero is set at 2%, Power Up Zero
will only occur when the weight reading on the scale is at or below 2% of the
original zero condition. If the –Range setting for Power Up Zero is set at 2%, Power
Up Zero will only occur when the weight reading on the scale is at or above –2%
of the original zero condition.

3-13
IND310drive Technical Manual

Pushbutton Zero
If Pushbutton Zero is enabled, auto zero can be implemented by front panel
pushbutton.

Pushbutton Range
If Pushbutton Zero is enabled, +Range and –Range fields will display for setting
the range around the original zero condition for the scale within which Pushbutton
Zero can be applied. The range units are percent. For example, if the +Range
setting for Pushbutton Zero is set at 2%, the Pushbutton Zero can only be used
when the weight reading on the scale is at or below 2% of the original zero
condition. If the –Range setting for Pushbutton Zero is set at 2%, the Pushbutton
Zero can only be used when the weight reading on the scale is at or above –2% of
the original zero condition.

Tare
Tare is used to subtract the empty weight of a vehicle from the gross weight on the
scale to determine the net weight of the contents of a vehicle. Tare is inhibited if the
scale is in motion.

Three setup screens are available to configure tare

• Tare Types
• Auto Tare
• Auto Clear

Tare Types
Use the Tare Types setup screen to enable or disable tare types.

Pushbutton Tare
When pushbutton tare is enabled, the TARE scale function key can be
pressed when an empty vehicle is on the scale to determine tare. The terminal
displays a zero weight and net mode. When the vehicle is loaded and driven back
onto the scale, the terminal displays the net weight of the contents.

Keyboard Tare
When keyboard tare is enabled, the known value for the empty weight of a vehicle
(tare) can be entered manually. Use the numeric keypad to enter the known tare
weight. The terminal will then display the net weight of the contents of the vehicle.

Additive Tare
Additive tare is a tare value that is added to an existing tare weight value to
establish a new tare weight value. If additive tare is enabled, a tare weight value
can be added using the numeric keypad while the terminal is in the net weight
mode. The tare value entered is added to the existing tare weight value. Tare
interlocks inhibit this mode.

3-14
 IND310drive Technical Manual

Tare Interlock
Tare interlocks are a set of restrictions on how tare can be used that are required
by certain local weights and measures regulations. If tare interlocks are enabled,
the terminal must be at gross zero to clear a tare weight or to enter a keyboard
tare. Tare interlocks also prevent the terminal from replacing an existing tare with a
new auto tare.

Net Sign Correction

Net sign correction enables the IND310drive terminal to be used for both shipping
(inbound empty) and receiving (inbound loaded) operations. If net sign correction
is enabled, the terminal will switch the gross and tare weight fields on the printed
ticket, if necessary, so that the larger weight is the gross weight, the smaller weight
is the tare weight, and the difference is always a positive net weight. Net sign
correction affects only the printed data output. The displayed weight and
continuous data output will continue to show a negative net weight value. Table
3-1 provides a net sign correction example.

Table 3-1: Net Sign Correction Example

Data Output Weight Displayed Weight Printed

Gross weight 35100 lb 64080 lb G
Tare weight 64080 lb 35100 lb PT
Net weight −28980 lb 28980 lb N

Auto Tare
Use the Auto Tare screen to enable or disable auto tare, set the tare and reset
threshold weights, and enable or disable motion check.

Auto Tare
When auto tare is enabled, the tare weight is taken automatically when a vehicle is
on the scale. Tare interlocks prohibit replacement auto tare.

Tare Threshold Wt
When weight on the scale platform exceeds the tare threshold value, the terminal
automatically tares.

Reset Threshold Weight

The reset threshold weight must be less than the tare threshold weight. When the
weight on the scale platform falls below the reset threshold value, such as when a
load has been removed, the terminal automatically resets the auto tare trigger.

3-15
IND310drive Technical Manual

Auto Clear Tare

To clear tare automatically when the scale returns to the center of zero, enable the
auto clear tare setting.

Clear After Print

To clear tare automatically after printing, enable the clear after print setting.

Clear Threshold Wt
When the gross scale weight exceeds then falls below the clear threshold value,
the terminal automatically clears tare and returns to gross mode.

Motion Check
Enable the motion check setting to prevent auto clear from occurring when the
scale is in motion.

Units
This setup screen enables the selection of secondary weighing and auxiliary units.

Secondary Units
Use the Secondary Units drop-down menu to select secondary weighing units,
configure custom secondary units, or to select none. Available weighing units
include:

• Custom • Pounds (lb)

• Grams (g) • Tonnes (t)
• Kilograms (kg) • Tons (ton)

Custom Units
If Custom is selected for secondary units, four additional fields display for
configuring custom units. The terminal displays *** when custom units are in use.

Custom Factor
Enter a multiplication factor for the custom unit in this field, such as 0.592 or
1.019. This value is used for a unit of measurement that is not standard. For
example, MyUnit=1.3 lbs. If “lbs” is the primary unit, then the custom factor is
“1.3”.

Custom Name
The softkeys turn into alpha keys when this field is selected. Use the alpha keys to
enter the name for the custom unit.

Custom Increment

3-16
 IND310drive Technical Manual

Program a custom increment of 1, 2, or 5 using the corresponding drop-down

menu. The “Custom Unit” will use this increment multiplied by the “Custom
Resolution”. For example, MyUnit needs an increment of 0.5, so the user will select
Custom Increment 5 and Custom Resolution 0.X. If MyUnit needs an increment of
“0.002”, then the user chooses a custom increment of “2” and a custom resolution
of “0.00X”.

Custom Resolution
The custom resolution drop-down menu enables resolution at:

• 0.00000X
• 0.0000X
• 0.000X
• 0.00X
• 0.0X
• 0.X
• X
• X0
• X00
• X000
Refer to “Custom Increment” above for examples of use.

Power Up Units
Power up units defines the units the terminal defaults to after power up. Use the
drop-down menu to select either primary or secondary units.

Filter
The IND310drive terminal has a low-pass, multi-pole vibration filter that can be set
for several conditions. The heavier the filtering, the slower the display settling time
will be.

Low Pass Frequency (Hz)

Low pass frequency is the frequency above which all disturbances are filtered out.
The lower the frequency, the better the disturbance rejection, but the longer the
settling time required for the scale.

Stability Filter
The stability filter can also be enabled or disabled on this setup screen. If enabled,
the “Stability Filter” takes the place of the Low Pass Filter during the “No Motion”
condition to provide the highest possible filtering (lowest Low Pass Frequency).
When motion is detected, filtering automatically switches back to the Low Pass
Frequency Filter defined above. The Stability Filter should only be enabled for
transaction applications and is not suitable for batching or filling operations.

3-17
IND310drive Technical Manual

Stability
The IND310drive terminal includes a stability detector (weight in motion). The
Stability setup screen enables setting a motion range and a no-motion interval.

Motion Range
Set the motion range to eliminate weight changes from fluctuations in the weight
display caused by movement. The range is set in divisions (d) that the terminal is
permitted to fluctuate.

No-motion Interval
The no motion interval defines the amount of time (seconds) that will elapse before
a no motion signal is sent to the terminal.

Log or Print
The Log or Print setup screen is where the thresholds to control how and when
data is saved or output to a printer are defined. Normal demand mode printing
occurs whenever a print request is made, providing there is no motion on the scale
and zero has been captured (a negative gross weight will not be printed).

Minimum Weight
The minimum weight setting is the threshold below which log or print functions will
not initiate.

Interlock
Interlock prevents repeat logging and printing. If enabled, interlock requires that the
weight reading return to zero (or below the minimum print value) and then settle to
a weight greater than the minimum print value before responding to the next log or
print request.

Automatic
Enable the automatic setting to log data and send a print request every time the
weight on the scale settles to a positive value that is larger than the minimum
threshold weight value.

Threshold Wt.
Enter the minimum threshold weight value for automatic logging and printing of
data in this field.

Reset on
The automatic setting to reset based on weight threshold or weight deviation values
can also be configured on this screen. Select threshold (the weight value at which
the reset function will be triggered) or deviation (the weight difference between the

3-18
 IND310drive Technical Manual

weight on the scale and the minimum weight value at which the reset function will
be triggered) from the drop-down menu and enter the weight value in the “Reset
on” field.

Motion Check
Enable the motion check setting to prevent automatic log and print functions from
occurring when the scale is in motion.

Sequential Number
Sequential number refers to the unique transaction number for the selected scale.
Each scale has its own sequential number. This number is separate from the
terminal transaction number. Each time a transaction occurs, the terminal
transaction number advances and so does the corresponding sequential number
for the selected scale.

Sequential Number
Use the drop-down menu to enable or disable the sequential number feature.

Number Reset
Use the drop-down menu to enable sequential number reset. Press the RESET
COUNTER softkey to reset the sequential number for the selected scale.

A1, A2, A3 Tables

Set up the A1, A2, and A3 table structures through these three setup screens. Also
view and edit table information, and generate custom table reports from these
screens.

Commodity (Available Only for the A1 Table)

The commodity function enables the use of custom units on a per commodity
basis (up to 25 different commodities). For example, an operator might want to
use a custom unit of bushels for corn rather than kilograms or pounds. The
commodity table enables the creation of a table that defines the multiplication or
division factor that converts kilograms or pounds of corn to bushels. When the
commodity (corn) is weighed, the output shows the converted amount and custom
unit (bushels).

Use the Operation/Resolution and Factor fields to configure the desired conversion,
which can be Multiply or Divide using a factor of X, X.X, X.XX, or X.XXX. These
fields display only if Commodity is selected as the type of table.

If Commodity is Enabled, the Table Name is automatically “Commodity” and

cannot be changed. Also, Totalization will always be enabled.

Name
Enter the desired label for associated operational screens for each table. For example,
if the A1 table will contain customer names, enter Customer in the name field.

Long Description
Long Description is a long alphanumeric string that describes the table entry. Use
the Long Description drop-down menu to enable or disable Long Description in the
table structure.

Totalization
Totalization is a field that tracks totals for each specific table entry. For example, in
a customer table the total weight for all transactions involving each customer in the
table. Use the Totalization drop-down menu to enable or disable Totalization in the
table structure.

• PTS63 • Multicontinuous 2 w/cksum • Outbound
• Multicontinuous 1 • Continuous w/cksum • Report
• Multicontinuous 2 • CTPZ • Template 1
• Template 1 Continuous • Transient

The continuous and multicontinuous output modes of the IND310drive terminal

can be used to continuously send weight data and scale status information to a
remote device such as a PC or a remote display. PTS63 can also be selected here.
The Continuous, Continuous w/cksum, Multicontinuous 1, Multicontinuous 1
w/cksum, Multicontinuous 2, Multicontinuous 2 w/cksum, Template 1 Continuous
and PTS63 data streams must have a dedicated COM port that has no other
assignments. These data streams and connections are further defined in Appendix
D.

If continuous output to two ports is desired, the output can occur simultaneously
from COM1 through an RS-232 connection (for example, to a PC) and a current
loop (for example, to a score board or display). See Appendix A, Installation,
Connecting to Peripherals, Other Peripherals for further information about these
connections.

The CTPZ data stream sends commands to the IND310drive to perform several
basic functions when a control character is received. This connection is further
explained in Appendix D.

Predictive Maintenance

Symmetry Monitor
Options are None, Radial and Axial. This parameter determines which cells the
system uses when measuring symmetry (similarity in output) among POWERCELL

3-47
IND310drive Technical Manual

load cells. Asymmetry in output can indicate that a cell is about to fail. The default
value is None.

Start Threshold
To prevent a false trigger of a symmetry error due to light loads, the terminal allows
for a symmetry check Start Threshold value. The parameter is set as a percentage
of total calibrated cell capacity, with a default value of 1%. Symmetry checking will
be triggered only if the load on the scale exceeds the start threshold value.

Difference Threshold
When the Symmetry Monitor is enabled, this parameter sets the maximum
permissible difference between monitored cells, in percent of full calibrated cell
capacity.

Execution of axial symmetry checking is based upon monitoring the change of the
initial offset in the span output between the load cells in a symmetric pair. If the
change from the initial offset exceeds the Difference Threshold value, a symmetry
error is triggered.

Execution of radial symmetry checking is based upon monitoring the change in the
initial load distribution for each cell. A symmetry error is triggered if the change in
load distribution exceeds the Difference Threshold value.

On Failure
When the Symmetry Monitor is enabled and the Difference Threshold exceeded,
this parameter determines the system’s response. Options are No Action, Alarm
Only, and Alarm & Disable Scale. The default value is Alarm and Disable Scale.

The Maintenance Log for the scale must be enabled for Alarms to be triggered. The
alam message will be displayed for 10 seconds on the System Line, and will
reappear periodically after a fixed period of time if the error is not resolved.

Run Flat
In the event of an asymmetry that exceeds the Difference Threshold, Run Flat may
be Disabled, triggered Manually, or triggered Automatically.

If the terminal determines that a load cell is operating out of tolerance or fails to
detect communication with a single load cell, it can invoke the Run Flat algorithm
to compensate for the cell’s questionable readings until the cell can be replaced.

Load cell symmetry monitoring is required for the algorithm to run properly. There
are 3 options for Run Flat:

• Disabled (Run Flat will not operate)

• Manual (user selects which cell to replace)
• Automatic (Run Flat algorithm uses threshold settings to determine which cell to
replace)

• Scale 2 (Same setup screens as Scale 1)
• Serial—Enables testing of the sending and receiving functions on the serial
(COM) ports. Both COM ports can be checked if a loopback jumper is installed
on the COM port connector to jumper transmit to receive.
• Network—Enables testing and assists in determining the availability of network
options, which include:
− 127.0.0.1 to test the TCP/IP stack − DNS host
− Own address − Cluster partners
− Gateway address − DHCP host
− email host − IP config
Some diagnostic setup screens provide information on the current status of the
system, such as Memory and Cell Output. Other diagnostic setup screens enable
the transmittal of test strings for diagnostic testing, such as Serial and Network.

Diagnostic setup screens that enable diagnostic testing include a START

softkey. Press this key to initiate transmission of the test string. Pushing the START
softkey, immediately turns it into a STOP softkey. Press this key to end
transmission of the test string.

RS-232 Serial Output Test

If the testing of the sending and receiving functions on the serial (COM) ports using
the loopback test fails, use the following test procedure to determine whether the
RS-232 serial port is operational.

1. Remove power from the IND310drive terminal and the printer.

2. Disconnect the data cable from the printer.
3. Set the voltmeter to read 20 VDC.

4-6
 IND310drive Technical Manual

4. Connect the red lead to pin 3 of the printer end of the data cable and connect
the black lead to pin 7.
5. Apply power. The meter should read as follows:
• Demand mode—The meter should read between −5 and −15 with no
fluctuation.
• Continuous mode—The meter should fluctuate between −5 and +5
continuously. The constant fluctuation on the meter display indicates the
scale/indicator is transmitting information.

To test Demand baud rates, press the PRINT key . The display should
fluctuate between +5 volts to −5 volts for the duration of the transmission, then
become stable again. This fluctuation indicates the terminal has transmitted data.

When measuring the higher baud rates in the Demand mode, the meter
display will fluctuate for a shorter period of time.

Connection to Peripheral Components

Use the following procedures to connect peripheral components.

Opening the Terminal Enclosure

The front panel of the IND310drive terminal is locked in place by four spring clips
attached to the enclosure body. To gain access to the terminal’s PCB for internal
wiring and setting switches, separate the front panel from the enclosure as follows:

1. Insert the tip of a flat-blade screwdriver into one of the two slots located on the
bottom of the front panel assembly (see Figure A- 2) and gently push in
toward the enclosure. A “pop” sound is made when the cover is released.

Front Panel slots

removal (2)

Figure A- 2: IND310drive Terminal Access

2. Repeat Step 1 for the other slot.

3. After releasing the front panel, lift the bottom of the front panel up and out until
it completely clears the enclosure.
4. Raise the top of the front panel until it clears the two top clips. The cover will
swing down and is hinged by two wire cables at the bottom.
The openings on the bottom of the enclosure are for serial I/O, Ethernet, load cell,
and other peripheral component cables.

Installing Cables and Connectors

The IND310drive terminal is designed to withstand harsh environments. However,
care must be taken when installing cables and/or connectors that enter the terminal
enclosure. To ensure a water tight seal:

A-4
 IND310drive Technical Manual

 Pass the cables through an appropriately sized cable grip before connecting
the wires. For example, the Ethernet and USB cables go through the large
cable glands (see Figure A-3).

Large cable glands

for Ethernet and
USB cables

Figure A-3: IND310drive Cable Glands

 Insert the removable terminal strips or connectors in the appropriate sockets on

either the main board or on the scale card.
 Ensure that the cable length from the terminal strip/connector to the terminal
housing is sufficient so that no strain is placed on the connector assembly
when the housing is in the fully open position.
 After re-securing the back cover, tighten the cable grip sufficiently to provide a
water-tight seal around the cable. This procedure allows any internal cable
slack to be received through the cable grip.

Making Connections

Power Connection
A permanently attached line cord supplies the main power to the IND310drive
terminal. No voltage or frequency settings are required since the terminal includes
a universal power supply that operates from 87 to 264 VAC. The supply operates
with a line frequency of 49 to 61 Hz.

The integrity of the power ground for equipment is important for both safety
and dependable operation of the terminal and its associated scale base. A
poor ground can result in an unsafe condition should an electrical short
develop in the equipment. A good ground connection minimizes extraneous
electrical noise pulses. The IND310drive should not share power lines with
noise-generating equipment. To confirm ground integrity, use a commercial
branch circuit analyzer. If adverse power conditions exist, a dedicated power
circuit or power line conditioner might be required.

WARNING
FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD CONNECT TO
PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET ONLY. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND
PRONG.

Before applying power, confirm that the power cord is wired properly for the AC
voltage where the terminal will be used (see Figure A-5). The power cord connects
to the TB1 terminal strip on the controller PCB.

Power Requirements
The terminal requires 87 to 264 VAC with a line frequency of 47 to 61 Hz
(20 watts maximum) of power and is internally fused at 1.6 amp, 250 volts. The
fuse is located adjoining the main power connection on the power supply board as
shown in Figure A-5. Should the fuse blow, always replace the fuse with the same
voltage and amperage as specified.

Load Cell Configuration Options

The IND310drive supports both analog and digital (POWERCELL) load cells and
can be configured with a maximum of two scales. The following are the possible
configurations:

• 31L10x: single analog card, one scale

• 31L20x: dual analog card, two scales
• 31L30x: single POWERCELL card, one scale
• 31L31x: single POWERCELL card and single analog card, two scales
• 31L33x: two single POWERCELL cards, two scales
The location and wiring connections depend on the configuration of the terminal.

CMOS and MTX POWERCELL

There is a fixed amount of current for each POWERCELL cell channel. If the
IND310drive is configured for one scale (31L30x), then the limit is 800 mA, and if
configured for two scales (31L31x or 31L33x), then each POWERCELL channel
has only 500 mA available.

The maximum current that an MTX POWERCELL consumes is 75 mA. So if the

IND310drive is configured with one POWERCELL card (31L30x), then
800mA/75mA = 10.7. Rounded down, this value means that the IND310drive
supports only 10 MTX POWERCELLS without using an external power supply.
This is the typical configuration for replacing a METTLER TOLEDO Cougar terminal.

If the POWERCELL card is mixed with an analog channel or two POWERCELL

cards are used simultaneously (31L31x or 31L33x), then 500mA/75mA = 6.7.
The value rounded down to six means the IND310drive supports only 6 MTX
POWERCELLS without using an external power supply in those configurations.

The MTX POWERCELLS consume more current than the CMOS POWERCELLS. On
the average the CMOS cells use 50–55mA and the MTX cells use 60–65mA.
METTLER TOLEDO chooses to use the maximum current of 75mA per cell for
calculations to ensure that the system will always have sufficient power supply
current.

NMOS POWERCELL
The NMOS cells always use a pit power supply because they require different
voltages than provided by the IND310drive and formerly by the METTLER TOLEDO
Cougar terminal. The IND310drive only supplies voltage to a switch in the pit
power supply to turn it on and off. However, the terminal voltage must be
considered. The METTLER TOLEDO Cougar supplies between 21V-24V, and the
IND310drive POWERCELL interface only supplies 12V.

A-7
IND310drive Technical Manual

The older pit power supply (09170168000) can operate with voltages from 5V to
30V and is completely compatible with the IND310drive. The new pit power supply
(90898000A) cannot be used with the IND310drive because it requires an 18V to
24V input. The alternative (90898000B) accepts 9V–12V inputs and is
compatible with the IND310drive.

Analog
Analog load cells look like resistors to the IND310drive. The specification states
that the IND310drive supports eight 350-ohm load cells. The eight load cells
connect in parallel so the equivalent resistance seen by the IND310drive is
350/8 = 43.75 ohms. Note that the calculation, equivalent resistance =
(ohms)/(number of load cells) , only works if all load cells have the same
resistance. It does not work if the scale has a mixture of resistances, such as
mixing 1,000-ohm cells and 350-ohm cells.

The equivalent resistance of any scale must be greater than 43.75 ohms for the
IND310drive to support it. As an example, consider the twelve 1,000-ohm load
cells. The equivalent resistance is 1,000/12= 83.3 ohms, which is greater than
43.75 ohms; so the IND310drive will easily support twelve of the 1,000-ohm load
cells.

To determine if the IND310drive can support twenty 750-ohm load cells use the
calculation 750/20= 37.5 ohms. Since 37.5 ohms is less than 43.75 ohms, the
IND310drive will not support twenty 750-ohm load cells. Table A-1 uses a similar
calculation to show the maximum number of load cells the IND310drive can
support for a given load cell resistance.

Given Load Cell Resistance

COM1 Current Loop

Current loop systems use flow of current to transmit digital information. There are
two types of 20 mA current loops: Active and Passive. Active systems have the
current/voltage source built into the circuit. Passive systems require an external
current/voltage source to complete the circuit. Normally one side of the current loop
is active and the other passive. Two active current loop systems cannot be
connected together.

The IND310drive current loop is a “passive” current loop system, that is it does not
have a current or voltage source built in; however, the COM1 connector supplies a
+12V source to activate the system. The advantage of this arrangement is that the
IND310drive can be connected to a passive peripheral by using the +12V source
on the COM1 connector or to an active peripheral by connecting the +20mA and
−20mA lines to the respective lines of the peripheral.

Figure A-12 shows how to connect the IND310drive current loop to a passive and
an active peripheral. Note that for a passive peripheral it is necessary to jumper pin
3 and pin 5 on J15 of the IND310drive main PCB.

Appendix B

PCTools Operation
This appendix provides information about PCTools—software that provides a way
to interface a PC to the IND310drive to setup the terminal as well as download and
upload database and configuration information.

The IND310 version 2.5 comes with PCTools v2.5. All previous versions of
PCTools should be removed from your PC and PCTools v2.5 installed. PCTools
v2.5 will install two icons on the PC desktop: PCTools 2.02 and PCTools 2.5. You
should use the PCTools 2.02 to back up information from IND310 units with
software version 2.02 or earlier. PCTools 2.5 is only compatible with the IND310
version 2.5, but is able to read the configuration and database files from PCTools
2.02.

Upgrading Software
To upgrade an IND310 from version 2.02 or earlier to version 2.5, perform the
following steps:

1. Use PCTools 2.02 to download Configuration and required data tables.

See remainder of this appendix for details on how to download information
with PCTools.
2. Reboot the IND310.
3. Place the IND310 version 2.5 software “sabre.tar” as well as the file “tar”
on the USB stick (71208113).
4. Use the USB stick to download version 2.5 software into the IND310. See
section regarding Updating Software.
5. Use PCTools 2.5 to upload the configuration and required data tables to
the IND310. See remainder of this appendix for details on how to upload
information with PCTools.
6. Reboot the IND310.

Connection to a PC
In order to use PCTools software a PC must be connected to the IND310drive with
Ethernet.

There are two types of Ethernet cables: Patch and Crossover. Patch cables are
used to connect a PC to a network or a hub. The easiest way to connect a PC to
the IND310drive via Ethernet is to use a crossover Ethernet cable (Figure B-1). A

B-1
IND310drive Technical Manual

crossover cable connects directly from the PC Ethernet port to the IND310drive
Ethernet port (no hubs or network needed). If a crossover cable is unavailable, it is
possible to still connect with two patch cables and a hub (Figure B-2). Both types
of Ethernet cables are readily available at stores that sell computer equipment.

10BaseT ‘Patch’ cables

Figure B-2: Connecting the IND310drive to a PC with Patch Cables

IP Address Setup
The IP addresses must be setup on both the IND310drive and the PC as follows:

1. Check the IND310drive IP address and subnet mask and note the numbers to
configure the PC. (See Chapter 3.0, Configuration, Communication, Network for
information about network configuration.)
2. The PC and the IND310drive should have the same subnet mask.
3. The PC and the IND310drive must have unique IP addresses. The IP address
numbers must be the same where the subnet mask is 255, but different where the
subnet mask is 0. See the example in Table B-1 and Figure B-3, which follow.
Table B-1: IP Address Configuration Example (for Crossover or Hub Configuration)

IND310drive IP Address 192 168 0 1

5. Click on the Properties button. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties Screen
displays (Figure B-7).
6. Typically, “Obtain an IP address automatically” is checked. However, to
connect to the IND310drive, set the PC IP address and subnet mask by
selecting “Use the following IP address”.
7. Enter the IP address and subnet mask settings for the specific PC.
8. Click on the OK button.
After disconnecting from the IND310drive and before connecting back to the
PC’s normal network connection, remember to change the Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) Properties Screen setting back to “Obtain an IP address
automatically” or to whatever setting was active when the screen was
accessed.

Database Structure and Use

This appendix provides detailed information about the IND310drive’s database
structure and use, including:

• Memory
• Templates
• Maintenance Log File
• Tables

Memory
The IND310drive has 8 Mbytes of memory to store table information such as
“vehicleID”, “tempID”, and transactions. Unlike the METTLER TOLEDO Cougar
terminal, where the number of items was fixed (99 vehicle IDs for example), the
IND310drive is flexible and allows the user to store as much as will fit within the 8
Mbytes (8 Mbytes = 8,388,608 Bytes). Table D-1 shows the amount of memory
that one record (one entry in the table) requires.

Table D-1: Amount of Memory One Record Requires

Maximum Memory Used

Table Name (Bytes per Record)
Vehicle ID 126
Temporary ID 306
A1-A4 Tables 101
Index Table 57
Transaction Table 414
Alibi only table 63
For example, a customer needs to store 200 vehicle IDs, needs to track 80
commodities in table A1, track 30 customers in table A2, and needs to store
5,000 transactions in the transaction table. The memory usage can be calculated
as follows.

• 200 vehicle IDs × 126 Bytes = 25,200 Bytes

• 80 commodities × 101 Bytes = 8,080 Bytes
• 30 Customers × 101 Bytes = 3,030 Bytes
• 5000 Transactions × 414 Bytes = 2,070,000 Bytes

D-1
IND310drive Technical Manual

The total comes to 2,1063,10 Bytes, which is far less than the 8,388,608 Bytes
available in the IND310drive, so there is still room for more data. Using a
calculation like this will provide a rough estimate for the amount of memory
needed for a specific customer application.

The transaction table has three configurations:

• Alibi Only
• Alibi & Transaction FIFO (first in, first out)
• Alibi & Transaction
The first two are limited to 5,000 records and operate as memory FIFO loops. This
means that after transaction number 5,000, the IND310drive starts at transaction
1 again and overwrites any information.

Customers who want to store more transactions can do so by choosing to use Alibi
& Transaction, which is limited only by the available memory. When the memory
is 95% full, the IND310drive displays a message alerting the user that the
memory is low. In the example above with 200 vehicle IDs, 80 commodities, and
30 customers, the IND310drive would store approximately 20,000 transactions.

Templates
There are several templates in the IND310drive to facilitate printing:

• Inbound Template
• Outbound Template
• Transient Template
• Template1
Each template operates in the same manner for the purpose of printing an
inbound, outbound, transient, or demand print ticket respectively.

Template Memory Usage

Each template provides 1,000 bytes of memory storage. To effectively use a
template it is necessary to understand how each element in the template consumes
memory. An element consists of a TYPE with a corresponding VALUE. Table D-2
shows all the possible TYPEs with some examples of the VALUEs the TYPE may
have.

D-2
 IND310drive Technical Manual

Table D-2: Template Memory Usage

Type Example Value Description Memory Used

GrossWt Print the Gross Weight 23 bytes
Field Time Print the Time 23 bytes
String1 Similar to a “JagXtreme Literal” 23 bytes
String size + 10
String “Print this string” User defined string to print

20 bytes (2
CR/LF Send a carriage return/line feed
characters)
Special
Character STX Special command character 9 bytes
ESC Special command character 9 bytes
This is hidden at the end of
End No Value 7 bytes
each template

The TYPE field can be given VALUEs to print Gross/Tare/Net weight and can also be
assigned date and time information. The TYPE field can be assigned the VALUE of
one of twenty predefined Strings known as String1 through String20. The
pre-defined Strings correspond to the literals used in the IND310drive terminal and
are configured in the setup menu under Communication/Templates/Strings. The
TYPE “String” is a group of characters that is put directly in the template. As a
general rule, if the “user-defined” string is 13 characters or more, one should use
the TYPE field and assign one of the 20 available Strings (Literals).

User-defined strings are the biggest issue with regard to memory usage. One
character takes 1 byte. For example, printing the letter “A” takes 1 byte of memory;
however, the Memory Usage Table shows memory used for a user-defined string is
calculated as: String Size + 10 bytes. Therefore, printing the letter “A” uses
1 + 10 = 11 bytes of memory.

String format and length are also important. If the string “Tare” is left justified with
length 6 by default looks like “Tare__” and the string size is 6 bytes (4 bytes for
the characters plus 2 bytes for the 2 spaces). Using “Tare” right justified with
length 7 will look like “___Tare” and has a string size of 7 bytes (3 bytes for the
3 spaces + 4 bytes for the characters).

The following elements are required:

1. Field with value “String1”, where String1 is “Results of weighing at the XYZ
Scale” (23 bytes)
2. Special Character “CR/LF”, used to print on the next line (20 bytes)
3. String with value “Gross:”, left justified with length6 (6 bytes + 10 bytes
overhead = 16 bytes)
4. Field with value “GrossWt” (23 bytes)
5. Special Character “CR/LF”, used to print on the next line (20 bytes)
6. String with value “Tare:”, left justified with length 5 (5 bytes + 10 bytes
overhead = 15 bytes)
7. Field with value “TareWt” (23 bytes)
8. Special Character “CR/LF”, used to print on the next line (20 bytes)
9. String with value “Net:”, left justified with length 4 (4 bytes + 10 bytes
overhead = 14 bytes)
10. Field with value “NetWt” (23 bytes)
11. Special Character “CR/LF”, used to print on the next line (20 bytes)
The memory usage for each element equals a total of 217 bytes; however, each
template has a hidden element of TYPE “End” that requires 7 bytes. The total
memory used in this case would then be 217 bytes + 7 bytes = 224 bytes.

Defragmenting
The IND310drive terminal automatically initiates the defragmenting process on the
first day of every month or every day, depending on the setting selected in setup.
The default frequency for defragmentation to occur is monthly. The default time for
defragmentation to occur is 2 a.m. A different time for defragmentation can be
configured in set up. (See Chapter 3.0, Configuration, Terminal, Device for
information about configuring automatic defragmentation time and frequency.)
During defragmentation, a message displays on the IND310drive terminal:
“Defragmenting please wait”. The defragmenting process takes no more than five
minutes to complete.

Defragmentation also occurs automatically when the Alibi & Transaction Table is
cleared.

Defragmentation can be initiated manually at any time in order to optimize the

IND310 drive terminal’s performance. To initiate manual defragmentation, go to
the Maintenance, Run, Database Defragment setup screen. Press the START softkey
to initiate defragmentation. If configured in setup, a DEFRAGMENT softkey
Defrag can also be used to initiate manual defragmentation. (See Chapter 3.0,
Configuration for more information about the Database Defragment screen and
configuring softkeys.)

tables.

Alibi Memory
Alibi memory stores transaction information that is not definable by the operator.
The alibi memory table includes:

• A transaction count value, which is a unique numeric field that identifies the
transaction (the transaction counter must be enabled in terminal setup to
activate the transaction count value)
• Date and time stamp fields
• Gross, tare, and net weights, including weight unit

Transaction
The transaction table is linked to the alibi memory table to provide additional
operator-selectable fields. The additional fields store custom transaction data.

The transaction table always includes:

• A transaction count value

• Date and time stamp fields
These parameters are a common link between the alibi memory and transaction
table.

D-6
 IND310drive Technical Manual

The transaction table may also include up to ten operator-selected additional fields
from the following list:

• Scale name
• Sequence number (selected scale’s identification number)
• A1 value (selected value from the A1 table)
• A2 value (selected value from the A2 table)
• A3 value (selected value from the A3 table)
• A4 value (selected value from the A4 table)
• Vehicle ID
• Vehicle description
• Variable 01 value
• Variable 02 value
• Transaction type

A1–A4 User-Defined
The A1–A4 user-defined tables can be structured to meet operational requirements
and include three selectable fields

• Short A/N (alpha/numeric) ID—A short alphanumeric string (16 characters)

that also enables a quick search
• Description—A long alphanumeric string (40 characters) that describes the
table entry
• Total—A field that tracks totals based on each specific item in the table (For
example, in a customer table the total weight for all transactions involving
each customer.)
The A4 table also includes a selection that enables it to act as an index table for
other table values. See Index table for further information.

Vehicle ID
The vehicle ID table includes

• Short A/N ID—A short alphanumeric string (16 characters) that also enables
a quick search
• Description—A long alphanumeric string (40 characters) that describes the
vehicle and is used as the value for a search
• Tare—The tare weight of the vehicle
• Total—A field that tracks totals based on each specific vehicle in the table

D-7
IND310drive Technical Manual

Temporary ID
The temporary ID table includes

• Short A/N ID—A short alphanumeric string (16 characters) that also enables
a quick search
• Description—A long alphanumeric string (40 characters) that describes the
vehicle
• Stored Weight—A field that stores nonpermanent weights for inbound
vehicles.

Using Short A/N ID

Descriptions must be in the tables for Short A/N ID to be available for use. A
description cannot be changed on the operation weight screen, but can only be
replaced with another description from the table.

If Short A/N ID is enabled, it can be used as the look up only after pressing the
VEHICLE ID, TEMPORARY ID, or INDEX softkeys.

If Short A/N ID is enabled for the A1–A4 tables and the corresponding A1–A4
application keys are assigned to Select Table in the setup, the user can enter a
Short A/N ID and press the ENTER key to populate a database field with the
description for the table entry.

For example, an A1 table defined as Customer Table could include data as shown
in Table D-3.

Table D-3: Customer Table (A1 Table)

Short A/N ID Description Total

Abc78 Red Trucking 12500 lb

Xyz98 Big Truck 24000 lb

444aaa Small Truck 10000 lb

In this example, (assuming that Short A/N ID is enabled) the user can populate the
A1 database field on an operation weight screen by entering a Short A/N ID of
Abc78 in the A1 text box and then pressing the ENTER key. Red Trucking will
automatically be entered in the A1 text box. If the user enters Abc678 in the A1 text
box and then presses the ENTER key, the message “A1 ID NOT FOUND” will
display because there is no Short A/N ID for Abc678.

The user can press the DATABASE QUERY softkey to search the A1 table or
try again with a different Short A/N ID.

D-8
 IND310drive Technical Manual

Index
The index table is comprised of ID keys that are used to reference data located in
other tables. Index ID keys point to data already stored in other tables to enable
quick references for multiple items.

Enabling the index table precludes the use of the A4 table.

The following are examples of a possible configuration of the index table and
sample contents of tables.

An example of a possible configuration of the index table is shown in Figure D-4.

Figure D-5: Index Table Data Connections with Vehicle ID, A1, A2, and A3 Tables

An example of how the index table is used based on the table data shown in
Figure D-5 is as follows:

An operator selects Index weighing by pressing the INDEX softkey . He or she

enters an ID of 001.

The system looks up index ID 001 in the index table, which points to data already
stored in the other tables. Based on the index ID of 001, the system references and
returns data from the other tables as follows:

• Vehicle ID table for ID 001 (Red Trucking, 12500 lb tare)

• A1 table for ID 2 (Manny’s)
• A2 table for ID 1 (Empty Boxes)
• A3 table for ID 1 (OH)
The system uses the descriptions and tare information (shown in parentheses
above) to automatically populate the associated fields on the vehicle weighing
operation screen.

Custom Table Reports

Custom reports limit the records that are included in a report. The report structure
remains the same as defined in report configuration, but two field selections are
available to limit the reported records. The range of reported field values is
specified by the start and stop values. If the stop is left blank, then anything after
the start value is included in the report. If the start is left blank, then anything before
the stop value is included in the report. The wildcard (*) query operation also
applies so this character can also be included in the entry values. Figure D-8
shows an example of a custom table report configuration screen.

Table Queries
All table query functions operate the same way unless specified otherwise. Table
values are case-sensitive. The fixed format for dates is YYYY-MM-DD for all
queries. When a query function is included in an application operation, the syntax
shown in Table D-4 is used as part of the value to indicate query operations.

The example shown in Figure D-9 enables a search of the A1 table for the record
matching a short A/N ID of 001 and a description of Blue Trucking. Since the short
A/N ID is a unique field, the query result should contain a single record (if it
matches the description).

Continuous Mode Output

The continuous output mode of the IND310drive can be used to continuously send
weight data and scale status information to a remote device such as a PC or a
remote display. Continuous mode transmits a predetermined 18-byte string of data
from the communications (Ethernet or serial) port five or more times a second
(without any request). This mode is used typically when continuous monitoring of
the scale weight is required by an external device. Typically, continuous output is
used to drive a remote display, scoreboard, or PC interface.

Continuous mode can be assigned to COM1, COM2, Ethernet Channel 1 or

Ethernet Channel 2. It can also be assigned to COM1 w/cksum (with checksum),
COM2 w/cksum, Ethernet Channel 1 w/cksum, or Ethernet Channel 2 w/cksum. A
data string will be output once each A/D cycle or approximately 10 times per
second. The format is fixed, except for baud rate, parity, data flow (Xon, Xoff), and
interface. The data consists of 16 or 18 bytes transmitted in a 10-bit ASCII frame
consisting of:

• 1 start bit • 1 even parity bit

• 7 data bits • 1 stop bit
Non-significant weight data and tare data digits are transmitted as spaces. The
continuous output mode provides compatibility with METTLER TOLEDO products
that require real-time weight data. Table E-1 shows continuous format output.

 IND310drive Technical Manual

Template 1 Continuous
If continuous template is selected as the assignment for a connection, a custom
string of data can be configured using one of the ten available templates. When a
continuous template output is selected, the output rate will depend on the size of
the template and the baud rate selected. The rate will vary from approximately once
per second up to approximately 20 times per second. Refer to Table E-7 for
estimated output rates of a 160 byte template.

Table E-7: Continuous Template Output Rate

Baud Rate Outputs/Second Baud Rate Outputs/Second

300 1 9600 10
600 2 19200 12
1200 4 38400 14
2400 6 57600 16
4800 8 115200 18

The template can include any combination of elements. Note that the output rate
may be adversely affected by transmitting a large template or selecting a slow
baud rate.

The template is configured as explained above in the Demand Output Mode, Output
Template section. The template used in continuous output must not exceed 200
characters.

CTPZ
The CTPZ data stream sends commands to the IND310drive to perform several
basic functions when a control character is received. Remote ASCII control
characters and the IND310drive terminal responses include:

• C—Clears the scale to gross

• T—Tares the scale (causes a pushbutton tare)
• P—Initiates a print command
• Z—Zeros the scale
All other characters are ignored.

ASCII control characters can be sent in upper- or lower-case.

The ASCII control character pertains to the scale currently selected unless a scale
designation character is included in the ASCII control command. The scale can be
specified to receive the control character by preceding the command character(s)
with the designation “A” for Scale 1 or “B” for Scale 2. If a scale designation

E-5
IND310drive Technical Manual

character (A or B) is used, it must be followed by the command character(s)

within three seconds or the command will be discarded.

Examples:
To take a Pushbutton tare on Scale 1, regardless of which scale is selected, send
the command AT. Alternately, the command BT takes a Pushbutton tare on Scale
2, regardless of the selected scale. A command of T will take a Pushbutton tare on
the scale currently selected by the terminal.

It is possible to enter Keyboard Tare by preceding the “T” with a numeric value. For
example, 1000T enters a tare value of 1,000 on the currently selected scale. For
two scales, enter Keyboard Tare using the designation A or B before the tare value.
AT2000 enters a tare value of 2,000 on Scale 1.

PT6S3 Protocol
PT6S3 protocol includes the commands of its predecessors, notably PT6S2, the
most common, in order to maintain full compatibility of the functions. This protocol
allows the replacement of an old model charge measurer in an existing
installation. This installation interrogates uniquely with upper-case letters
commands. New functions are obtained from commands with lower-case letters.

Overview
The "slave" charge measurer recognizes certain ASCII characters transmitted by the
"master" terminal (computer or automaton). This protocol therefore contains all of
the functions of PT6S2 necessary for a charge measurer with a single measuring
channel. The functions related to the f commands issued by a master terminal are
shown in Table E-7.

Table E-7: Functions Related to the f Commands Issued by a Master Terminal

P Request for the value of the weight displayed on the indicator

M Request for zeroing the weight indicator

Request for semi-automatic taring with weighing in net or return to
T
gross weighing if the tare is already activated.
R Request for gross weighing

The new commands specific to PT6S3 are shown in Table E-8:

Principle of Operation
The character frame, represented below, can be programmed. This permits
obtaining either a “simple format” identical to the format used in PT6S2, or a more
flexible “extended format”.

P1 Body of the response P2 CKS P3

P1, P2, P3: Characters which can be programmed, chosen between 000 and
255 (decimal). By default, the following characters are installed when the device
is powered on.

P1 = CR (013)

P2 = 000

P3 = 000

Zero values are not transmitted; therefore, in this case the format is similar to the
PT6S2 format.

Response to a Command Using an Upper-Case

Letter
Table E-10 shows the P, M, T, R commands defined previously. The body of the
response made up of the 5 characters No 3 to 7 is shown, with character 7 giving
the least significant digit.

Table E-10: P, M, T, R Commands

P 5 digits of the weight of the indicator (GROSS or NET)

5 digits at 0 if the setting to 0 was executed.
M
5 digits of the weight if the command was not executed.
T 5 digits of the weight displayed after the request (0 or gross weight).

R 5 digits of the GROSS weight.

Functions M and T can be executed only if immobility is effective at the time of

the request. If not, an answer with a "#" control character is made.

Response to a Command Using a Lower-Case

Letter
Some of the commands using lower-case letters, such as p, m, t, r, are identical to
those made in upper-case letters. When using a lower-case letter the:

• Response is obtained in the same format.

• Control character takes one of the information items defined for PT6S3.
• The checksum is different because it is calculated by taking into account
character No 1 (013).

Calculation of the Checksum Character (CK-S)

To calculate the checksum character, the following operations are performed
successively:

1. Binary sum, without carryover, of all the characters composing P1 +

Response body + P2.

E-10
 IND310drive Technical Manual

2. Comparison of this result to 20 (hex) by applying a 7f mask.

3. If the result is lower than 20 (hex), 20 (hex) is added to it.
This last result is the checksum It is therefore always comprised between 20 (hex)
and 7f (hex) (Printable character).

Indication of Control Character

Indication of the control character and specific contents of the response body for
each of the "lower-case" commands is as follows:

p – Request for reading the weight displayed on the main indicator

Response—Character No 3 to 7—five digits of the displayed weight (gross or net)

Character No 2 (Control)

“I” if gross positive immobile

“I” if gross negative immobile
“” if gross positive not immobile
“-” if gross negative not immobile
“N” if net positive immobile
“n” if net negative immobile
“B” if net positive not immobile
“b” if net negative not immobile
“D” if indicator in under tare
“S” if indicator in overload
“Z” if indicator on metrological zero, unstable
“z” if indicator on metrological zero, stable

m – Request for zeroing the indication of the charge measurer

Condition: Weight stable and comprised in a range of ± 2% of the weighing

capacity around the initial zero.

Response—Characters No 3 to 7—All at 0, if the command is executed. The gross

or net displayed weight in the measuring range, if the command is not executed.

Character No 2 (Control)

“m” if command executed

“#” if command not executed (instability, out of range, …)

t – Request for semi-automatic taring with weighing in net, or return to

weighing in gross if the tare is already activated

Condition: Weight stable

Response—The control character contains:

E-11
IND310drive Technical Manual

“t” if the request was executed. (Characters No 3 to 7 represent the weight

displayed after the request: 0 or gross weight)

“#” if taring cannot be executed. (Characters No 3 to 7 represent the gross

weight, within the measuring range).

n – Request of passage into net mode (taring) with single effect

Condition: Stable weight

Response—The control character contains:

“n” if the response was executed. Characters no 3 to 7 are at 0.

“#” if not executed. Characters No 3 to 7 represent the unsigned gross or

net weight in the measuring range.

For functions “m”, “t”, and “n” to be executed, immobility must be effective
at the time of the request. If immobility is not set, the slave answers #.

r – Request for gross-mode weighing

Response—The control character contains:

“r” if the request is executed. (Characters No 3 to 7 contain the gross

weight).

“#” if the request cannot be executed. (The contents of characters No 3 to

7 is not significant.)

Commands “n” and “r” are complementary. With command “t”, they
permit all the possibilities of semi-automatic taring and of return to gross
weigh mode.

g – Reading of metrological parameters

Response

Character No 2 3 4 5 6 7

Symbol C.C. Spc V U P Z

C.C.: Control character with the value:

“g” if request is accepted

“#” if request cannot be executed

spc: defines a space (ASCII code 20H)

V: Number of digits before the decimal point (including non significant zero)

U: Weight measurement unit, with the values:

“t” for ton

E-12
 IND310drive Technical Manual

“k” for kilogram

P: Weight unit step, value 1, 2 or 5

Z: Number of fixed zeros, with value 0 or 1.

z – Reading of minimum weighing capacity

Response—The control character contains:

“z” if the reading was made. (Characters No 3 to 7 represent the minimum

weighing capacity)

“#” if the reading is impossible (Characters No 3 to 7 are not significant)

w – Reading of maximum weighing capacity

Response—The control character contains:

“w” if the request is executed. (Characters no 3 to 7 return the value of the

weighing capacity recorded in the memories of the measurer).

“#” if the reading cannot be executed. (In this case characters no 3 to 7 are
not significant).

All lower-case commands above are common to the measurers of the series
TX30……TX40. The “q” command described hereafter does not apply to the
TX30 measurer, only to those that have several simultaneous links.

q – Request for simultaneous reading of the displayed weight and of the

five-digit ticket (use with a printer and DTR management)

Master's command: q

The response body was described in Characteristics of the Extended Format,

the Response Frame section.

Necessary condition: Weight stable within the measuring range.

The control character (No 2) takes the following forms:

• All of the forms obtained in response to command “p” (see p –

Request for reading the weight displayed on the main indicator) if the
request is executed.
• “!” in case of printer fault
In this latter case, the value returned for the weight is null. The ticket
number is not incremented (it keeps the last value taken).

The ticket number increments by one unit at each valid response of the “q”
function. The ticket number is never reset to zero.

Softkey and Application Key

Mapping
This appendix provides information about softkey and application key mapping,
which includes defining softkey and application key functions and positions.

Introduction
Softkeys provide quick access to setup pages or application functions, and are
located at the bottom of weight display screens. Up to ten softkeys can be defined.
A maximum of five softkeys display at one time on any given screen.

Follow the softkey configuration steps provided in this section to configure the
IND310drive softkeys to display in the most convenient manner.

Softkey Setup and Navigation

See Chapter 2.0, Two softkeys, RECALL and SETUP , are always located together in
Operation, Table pre-defined positions. Figure F-1 shows a weight display screen with four softkeys.

Figure F-3: Softkeys Setup Screen

The softkey assignment value at the bottom of the screen changes according to the
softkey assignment associated with the position number currently in focus. For
example, in Figure F-4 focus in on position number one, which is assigned the
Vehicle ID (Inbound/Outbound) softkey. Press the RIGHT arrow key to move focus
to softkey position two. The assignment value changes to Temporary ID. Softkey
positions that show no icon have an assignment value of None.

The RECALL and SETUP softkeys are automatically placed in the

softkey setup. The default setting for the placement of these softkeys is in position
numbers four and five. If a different softkey is placed in position four or five, the
RECALL and SETUP softkeys automatically shift to positions nine and ten. If a
different softkey is placed in position nine or ten, the RECALL and SETUP softkeys
automatically shift to positions fourteen and fifteen.

Use the arrow navigational keys to scroll to a softkey position number to edit,
insert, or delete a softkey.

3. Press the ENTER key to select the assignment drop-down menu.

4. Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the menu until focus is on
the desired assignment.
5. Press the ENTER key to select the assignment. The icon changes to show the
icon associated with the new assignment. If None is selected for the
assignment, no icon displays and the softkey assignment is reserved as a
blank space.
6. Press the EXIT softkey to return to the Softkeys setup screen.
There is no limit on the number of positions that can have the same softkey
assignment. For example, the CONTRAST softkey will display on each softkey
screen if it is assigned in a 1-5 (first screen) position and a 6-10 (second
screen) position.

Inserting Softkeys
To insert softkeys:

1. Use the arrow navigational keys to move the focus to the position number of
the softkey to be inserted.

2. Press the NEW/INSERT softkey. The Softkeys/Insert screen displays. The

softkey position selected is shown on the screen along with the current
assignment and the icon associated with that assignment, or None if the
position has no softkey currently assigned.
3. Follow steps 3–6 under Editing Softkeys. The new softkey will display on the
Softkey setup screen in the position where it was inserted. All other softkeys
located after that position increase position number by one. For example, if a
softkey is inserted at position number one, then the softkey that previously held
position one will move to position two, the softkey at position two will move to
position three, and so on. If a softkey is at position ten, it will be lost (except
for the RECALL or SETUP softkeys, which automatically shift to positions
fourteen and fifteen).

Deleting Softkeys
To delete softkeys:

1. Use the arrow navigational keys to move the focus to the position number of
the softkey to be deleted.

2. Press the DELETE softkey. The softkey is removed from the Softkey
setup screen. All other softkeys located after that position decrease position
number by one. For example, if a softkey is deleted at position number one,
then the softkey that previously held position two will move to position one, the
softkey at position three will move to position two, and so on.

Clearing All Softkeys

To clear all softkey assignments, press the CLEAR softkey. A screen
displays that asks for verification to clear all softkeys. Press the OK softkey

to continue or press the EXIT softkey to return to the Softkeys setup

screen.

Glossary
Additive tare A tare value that is added to an existing tare weight value
to establish a new tare weight vale. If additive tare is
enabled, the user can add a tare weight value using the
numeric keypad while the terminal is in the net weight
mode. The tare value entered is added to the existing tare
weight value. Tare interlocks inhibit this mode.

Alibi memory Stores basic transaction information that is not user-

definable.

Alpha keys The softkeys and application keys function as alpha keys
on some setup and operational screens for entering
alphabetic characters.

Application keys “A” keys (A1–A4) located beneath the softkeys that can be
assigned specific functions for different operations
depending on configuration.

Auto clear Enables the terminal to clear tare automatically when the
scale returns to the center of zero.

Auto Zero Maintenance AZM is a way for the terminal to gradually rezero itself in
(AZM) order to compensate for small changes in zero. Class IIIL
legal-for-trade vehicle scales use an AZM range of ±3
displayed increments above/below gross zero. AZM is
active any time the weight on the scale is stable and is
within the AZM range.

Auto tare An auto tare is taken by pressing the TARE key when an
empty vehicle is on the scale. The terminal then displays a
zero weight in net mode. The vehicle is loaded and driven
back onto the scale. The terminal then displays the net
weight of the contents. If the TARE key is pressed while the
terminal is in the net mode, the current weight on the scale
becomes the new tare value. Tare interlocks inhibit
replacement auto tare.

Capacity Maximum amount of weight that can be placed on a scale

Focus Items on a screen that display in reverse video or

highlighted text indicate where the current focus is located.
For example, a field label on a setup screen that displays
focus appears as follows:

H-1
IND310drive Technical Manual

Geo code A code associated with a geo adjustment value, which is

used for scale calibration.

Highlighted text Items on a screen that display in reverse video to indicate

where the current focus is located. For example, a field
label on a setup screen that displays (highlighted text)
appears as follows:

Increment The value of the finest division of a scale

Index weighing In index weighing mode, an index file enables a relational

ID to be used to select the values for the enabled table
information, including vehicle ID.

Keyboard tare When keyboard tare is enabled, the known value for the
empty weight of a vehicle (tare) can be entered manually.
Use the numeric keypad to enter the known tare weight.
The terminal will then display the net weight of the
contents of the vehicle.

Manually-Entered tare Manually-entered tare weights can be used for Temporary

weights ID weighing transactions if enabled in the scale tare setup.
Manually-entered tare weights are entered before the
Temporary ID softkey is pressed.

Mode (of operation) A sequence of operational functions or processes that

defines a complete procedure; a mode can consist of
several processes.

Navigation keys Keys located below the numeric keypad that include arrow
keys for navigating in operation and setup screens, and
an ENTER key for accepting data entries.

Net sign correction Net sign correction enables the IND310drive terminal to be
used for both shipping (inbound empty) and receiving
(inbound loaded) operations. If net sign correction is
enabled, the terminal will swap the gross and tare weight
fields on the printed ticket, if necessary, so that the larger
weight is the gross weight, the smaller weight is the tare
weight, and the difference is always a positive net weight.

Numeric keys Keys located near the upper-right corner of the terminal
face in a 12-key numeric keypad for entering numerical
data.

OIML International Organization of Legal Metrology

One-pass weighing One-pass weighing is a mode where the user has a fleet
of vehicles with known empty (tare) weight. The tare
weight is recalled by ID with the loaded vehicle on the
scale.

Process A series of actions or steps; a process is part of a mode of

operation.

Pushbutton tare When pushbutton tare is enabled, the user can press the
TARE scale function key when an empty vehicle is on the
scale to determine tare. The terminal displays a zero
weight and net mode. When the vehicle is loaded and
driven back onto the scale, the terminal displays the net
weight of the contents. If the TARE key is pressed while the
terminal is in the net mode, the current weight on the scale
becomes the new tare value.

Pushbutton Zero Pushbutton Zero is a way for the operator to capture a new
gross zero reference point. The weight on the scale must
be stable and be within the pushbutton zero capture
range, typically ±20% of full scale capacity. The zero of
the scale can change because material builds up on the
scale or because the temperature changes.

Scale function keys Keys located along the right side of the display screen that
perform specific actions including:
• Select scale
• Zero
• Tare
• Print

Setpoints Setpoints are on/off outputs that indicate whether the

weight displayed on the scale is greater than or less than
a preprogrammed weight value. Setpoints are typically
used in material filling applications in order to fill a vehicle
to a preset weight.

Softkeys Keys located at the bottom of the display screen that can
change position and/or function depending on operation
setup and configuration.

Tare Tare is the empty weight of a vehicle. Tare is normally

used to determine the net weight of the contents of a
vehicle. Also see auto tare, pushbutton tare, keyboard
tare, additive tare, tare interlock, and net sign correction.

Tare interlocks A set of restrictions on how tare can be used that are
required by some local weights and measures regulations.
If tare interlocks are enabled, the terminal must be at
gross zero to clear a tare weight or to enter a keyboard
tare. Tare interlocks also prevent the terminal from
replacing an existing tare with a new auto tare.

Temporary ID weighing The weighing mode that involves the use of the Temporary
ID Table to record tare weights for inbound transactions
and to recall these weights on outbound transactions.
Manually-entered tare weights can also be used for
Temporary ID Weighing.

Transaction table A user-configurable table that is linked to the alibi table

(see alibi memory) by the transaction counter value. The
transaction table consists of up to ten extra data fields that
can be selected for use.

Transient vehicle The weighing mode used when vehicle information should
weighing not be stored in memory or included in table totals.

Vehicle ID weighing The weighing mode that involves the use of the Vehicle ID
Table, where vehicle IDs, descriptions, and permanent
stored tares are entered prior to operation. This information
is recalled during Vehicle ID weighing transactions. Totals
for vehicle weights are also maintained in the Vehicle ID
Table (if enabled in setup).

Zero Zero is the empty weight of the scale platform or

weighbridge. The gross zero reference is recorded during
calibration. Also see Pushbutton Zero and AZM.
