Unattended Auto Axle Weigh Short Scale (Mode 3)

The Auto Axle Weigh and Print mode is used for unattended, short scale, vehical axle
weighing applications. This mode uses the following resources:

TTL output 1 = RED light output

TTL output 2 = GREEN light output
TTL output 3 = Busy light output
Fixed Register CFG 43 = Trip weight register (500 lb default)
Timer 1 - CFG 74 tr 1 = Delay time before red light is turned on (L40 = 4 secs default)
Timer 2 – CFG 74 tr 2 = Delay time before green light is turned on (L40 = 4 secs default)
Timer 3 – CFG 74 tr 3 = Delay timeout before total is printed (L300 = 30 secs default)
Timer 4 – CFG 74 tr4 = Display total duration timer (L100 = 10 secs default)
PRINT key - Prints total (over-rides the auto total print timer 3)

Auto axle weighing begins with the green light on. A weight greater than the trip weight CFG 43
enters the scale. Timer 1 is activated. Timer 1 times out and the green light is turned off and the
red & busy light is turned on. When motion detect signals no motion, the weight on the scale is
printed, the green light is turned on, red light off, and timer 2 is activated. The axle weigh
program waits for the weight on the scale to change by the trip weight amount. If the scale

Unattended Auto Axle Weigh - Long Scale (Mode 4)

The Automatic Axle Weigh mode is used for unattended, long scale, axle weighing applications.
It operates the same as mode 5 except the weight on the scale is tared after each weighment.

TTL output 1 = RED light output

TTL output 2 = GREEN light output
TTL output 3 = Busy light output
Fixed Register CFG 43 = Trip weight register (500 lb default)
Timer 1 - CFG 74 tr 1 = Delay time before red light is turned on (L40 = 4 secs default)
Timer 2 – CFG 74 tr 2 = Delay time before green light is turned on (L40 = 4 secs default)
Timer 3 – CFG 74 tr 3 = Delay timeout before total is printed (L300 = 30 secs default)
PRINT key - Prints total (over-rides the auto total print timer 3)

Auto axle weighing begins with the green light on. A weight greater than the trip weight CFG 43
enters the scale. Timer 1 is activated. Timer 1 times out and the green light is turned off and the
red & busy light is turned on. When motion detect signals no motion, the weight on the scale is
printed, the green light is turned on, red light off, and timer 2 is activated. The axle weigh
program waits for the weight on the scale to change by the trip weight amount. If the scale
weight settles above the trip weight amount, the weight indicator totalizes and prints. Timer 3
times out when no trip weight activation occurs in the auto-total timeout time; the weight
indicator prints the total of the previous weighments and zeros the totals register. The PRINT
key can be used to print totals before timer 3 times out. The total is displayed for ten seconds
then the program returns to the live scale weight.

Page formats:
Page 1 is printed when a valid weight has entered the scale for the first time as a header print
item. Header Page prints CFG 84 data as header, a company name for instance.
Page 2 prints each axle weight. Page 3 prints the total.

Scale Parameters
The scale parameters configure IDS 410/422 for the weigh platform or load cell that it is
connected to. The preceding table titled "SCALE PARAMETERS” lists the scale
parameters and their factory settings. Use the "Field Setting" column to record any changes
made to the factory default values.

Many of the following parameters are entered in terms of "graduations". The full-scale
graduations can be found by dividing the full-scale weight by the count-by weight. For
example, if the scale is configured for 500.00kg x 0.05kg, the full-scale graduations is
500.00/0.05 = 10,000 graduations to full scale.

The numbers in parenthesis are the default factory settings.

IDS 410/422 User's Manual

Parameter 1: Load Cell mv/V (3 mv/v)

The IDS 410/422 can be used with load cell outputs of 1 mv/V, 2 mv/V, or 3 mv/V. Enter
a 1, 2, or 3 for the load cell type used in your application. NOTE: there are 2 additional
settings: 0 for high gain (0.5mv/v inputs) and 4 for low gain (6 mv/v inputs).

Parameter 2: Digital Filter (9)

The digital filter removes scale vibrations and other noise signals from the weight display.
The filter range is between 0 and 18. A setting of 0 provides no filtering; a setting of 18
provides maximum filtering. The higher the filters number the longer the settle time of the
weight display. For example:
Filter Setting Settle Time
3 0.4 sec
6 0.8 sec
9 1.75 sec
12 3.5 sec
15 7.0 sec
Use the smallest filter setting that provides satisfactory display stability.

Parameter 3: Display Update Rate (0)

Enter the time between display updates (in tenths of a second). An update rate of 1 causes a
0.1 second delay between display updates, a rate of 200 causes a 20 second delay between
updates. NOTE: motion detection is calculated using the weight values of the display rate.
If the update rate is 50, the motion calculation is based on weight readings sampled at
0.5sec intervals.

Parameter 4: Motion Detection Delay (15)

Motion detection delay is used by the motion detection function to determine if the scale is
in motion (not stable). Enter the amount of time (in tenths of a second) that the scale must
be stable for motion status to be false (scale status = stable).

Example: 0 = disables motion detection.

2 = 0.2 second delay before motion = false (stable = true).
15 = 1.5 second delay.
30 = 3.0 second delay.

25
IDS 410/422 User's Manual

Parameter 5: Motion Detection Band (6)

The motion band is used by the MOTION DETECT function to determine if the scale is in
motion (not stable). If the amount of change between display updates is greater than the
motion band, a MOTION status is generated (unstable condition). The motion band is
entered in units of 1/4 dd, i.e.. For a motion band of:
1/2 display division enter 1/2 x 4 = 2.
2 display divisions enter 2 x 4 = 8.
4.5 display divisions enter 4.5 x 4 = 18.

Parameter 6: Enable Display Blanking During Motion (No Blanking)

When display blanking is enabled, the display is blanked (turned off) when the scale is in
motion (not stable). Enter a 1 (yes) to enable display blanking, enter a 0 (no) to disable
display blanking.

Parameter 7: Zero Tracking Delay (1)

The automatic zero tracking function removes small deviations from zero. The IDS
410/422 adjusts the zero setting by approximately 1/30th of a display digit per delay
interval. The delay interval is the number of A/D conversions between adjustments.

Parameter 8: Zero tracking band (12)

The zero tracking band is the maximum displacement from zero wherein zero tracking is
active. In order for zero tracking to be active, the following conditions must be met:
• Scale weight is within Zero Track Band.
• Scale is stable (no motion)
• Zero Track Band is greater than 0 (zero).
The zero tracking band is entered in units of 1/4 dd, i.e.. for a band of:
1/2 display division enter 1/2 x 4 = 2.
2 display divisions enter 2 x 4 = 8.
4.5 display divisions enter 4.5 x 4 = 18

Parameter 9: Push Button Zero Percent (100)

Enter the percent of full-scale capacity that can be acquired as the zero point with the
ZERO key. 1 = 1%, 2 = 2%, ...... 100 = 100%.

26
IDS 410/422 User's Manual

Parameter 10: Primary Units Type (1 [lb])

The scale is calibrated in the primary units. The UNITS key is used to toggle the weight
display between primary units and alternate units. Enter the number that corresponds with
the primary units:
0 = UNDEFINED, units are not printed.
1 = lb
2 = kg
3 = ton
4 = tne
5 = gram
6 = oz
7 = use print label 1 for units.
8 = use print code 1 for units.
NOTE: when parameter 10 is changed, parameters 13 and 16 must be programmed.

Parameter 11: Decimal Point Position (0 [no decimal point])

Enter the decimal point position for the primary unit’s display. For example, if the scale is
calibrated x 0.05 the decimal position = 2.

Parameter 12: Count-by (1)

Enter the primary unit’s count-by. For example, if the scale is configured for:
x 0.05 count-by = 5
x 0.2 count-by = 2
x1 count-by = 1
x5 count-by = 5
x 50 count-by = 50
x 100 count-by = 100

Note: the entry for 0.05 and 5 is the same. The decimal point position (parameter 11)
differentiates between the count-by 0.05 and count-by 5.

27
IDS 410/422 User's Manual

Parameter 13: Alternate Units Type (2 [kg])

Alternate units are the alternate display and print unit of measure that can be used in
addition to the primary units. The UNITS switch on the IDS 410/422's keyboard toggles
the weight display between primary units and secondary units.

0 = UNDEFINED, units are not printed.

1 = lb
2 = kg
3 = ton
4 = tne
5 = gram
6 = oz
7 = use print label 1 for units.
8 = use print code 1 for units.

Parameter 14: Alternate Decimal Point (1)

Enter the decimal point position for the alternate unit’s display.

Parameter 15: Alternate Count-by (5)

Enter the alternate unit’s count-by.

Parameter 16: Alternate Units Conversion Factor (45,360)

The IDS 410/422 calculates the alternate weight by multiplying the primary weight by the
conversion factor and then dividing by 100,000.

The following table lists some common conversions.

Conversion Conversion Conv. Fact. x 100,000
Factor
lb to kg 0.45359 kg/lb 45,359
kg to LB 2.20462 lb/kg 220,462
LB to Ton 0.0005 Ton/lb 50
kg to tonne 0.001 tonne/kg 100
gram to oz 0.352739 352,739
oz/gram
oz to gram 28.3495 gram/oz 2,834,950
lb to lb kb to kg etc. 1 100,000
Enter the conversion factor x 100,000 for the configured alternate units.

28
IDS 410/422 User's Manual

Parameter 17: Full Scale Graduations (10,000)

Enter the number of graduations at full scale. The full-scale graduations are calculated
using the count-by, decimal position, and full-scale weight.

Full Scale Graduations = Full Scale Weight / count-by .

For example, if Full Scale Weight = 600.0 and count-by = 0.2 then Full Scale Graduations
= 600.0 / 0.2 = 3000.

Parameter 18: Overload Graduations (10,200)

Enter the number of graduations at which the scale is in overload status. The IDS 410/422
displays Err oL on the numeric display when the scale weight exceeds overload. For
example, if the Full Scale Graduations is 10,000 grads and the scale is rated for 2%
overload, then Overload Graduations = 10,000 + (10,000 x 0.02) = 10,200.

Parameter 19: Deadload Offset (1)

This parameter is automatically calculated by the calibration function.

Parameter 20: Disable Power-On Zero (1 [disabled])

Enter a 1 to disable the power-on zero function. Enter a 0 to enable power-on zero. The
power-on zero function attempts to acquire zero when the power on tests have completed.
If the weight on the scale is above the zero range the display prompts "Err 0". Press the
ENTER key to view the scale weight. Remove the weight from the scale to enter weighing
mode.

Parameter 21: Deadload Factor

The deadload factor is automatically calculated by the calibration function. This parameter
is not accessible from the keyboard.

Parameter 22: Weight Conversion Factor

The weight conversion factor is automatically calculated by the calibration function. This
parameter is not accessible from the keyboard.

Parameter 30: Auto Print LF after CR (1 [yes])

Some printers require a line feed character (LF) to advance the paper and some printers advance
the paper with only a carriage return character (CR).
Enter a 1 to automatically add a line feed after a carriage return.
Enter a 0 to NOT add a line feed after a carriage return.

Parameter 31: End of Print Character (12 [form feed])

The end of print character is sent to the printer at the end of a print transmission. If your printer
requires a special character to release the paper or to form feed the paper, enter the code here.
The ASCII chart in the appendix lists the ASCII codes and their numeric values. Enter a 0 (zero)
if no end of print character is required.

Parameters 32, 33, 34, 84, 85, 86 and 87: Print Labels
The IDS 410/422 provide 7 programmable print labels. They are available for printing company
name, address, station ID, or other messages. Labels 32, 33, and 34 have up to 16 characters.
Labels 84, 85, 86, and 87 have up to 30 characters. Use the ASCII chart in the appendix to look
up the numeric values of the ASCII codes. Remember to enter a 0 as the last entry of the print
label.

Example: Select parameter 32 to begin Print Label 1 entry. The IDS 410/422 prompts "C0 xxx"
where xxx is the current character 0 entry. For example, to enter IDS INC., enter:

C0 73 I
C1 68 D
C2 83 S
C3 32 (space)
C4 73 I
C5 78 N
C6 67 C

Parameters 35, 36, 37, and 38: Print Codes

The IDS 410/422 provides 4 programmable print codes. The print codes are used to send special
setup parameters to the printer, such as select print size or select print font. Each print code is up
to 4 characters long. Consult your printer manual for the print codes that you may want to use.
Enter the codes in decimal format (an ASCII carriage return = 13). Select parameter 35 to begin
print code 1 entry. The IDS 410/422 prompts "C0 XXX" where xxx is the current character 0
print code value. Enter data for character 0. The IDS 410/422 prompts "C1 XXX". Continue
the code entry. Enter a 0 to end print code entry.

Parameter 39: Enable TTL Remote Control (1 [enabled])

Use parameter 39 to enable remote control using TTL inputs 1 through 3 (TB3 terminals 8, 9
and 10).

Diagnostic Test 8: Test A/D

This test displays the (filtered) raw data being read from the A/D converter. Use this test to
determine optimum deadload and gain settings. If the number displayed at deadload is less than
1000 or greater than 250,000 then use the deadload offset (parameter 19) to add or subtract
deadload from the signal input. NOTE: deadload offset (parameter 19) is automatically set using
the calibration function 60. If the full scale number displayed is less than 380,000 then use the
"loadcell mv/V" parameter to increase the gain. If the full scale signal is greater than 1,000,000
then use the "loadcell mv/V" parameter to decrease the gain.
