It is recommended that the instrument is allowed to warm up and stabilize for a period of 30
minutes before using it, especially before a calibration. In order to avoid warm up time and potential
condensation in case of significant changes in the outside temperature, the device can be left
permanently connected.

2.2 Entering Values

To use some of the equipment functions, it is necessary to enter numerical values. Use the arrow

keys to enter these values. Use right and left arrow keys to select the digit to be modified,

 Configuration

3 Configuration
3.1 Introduction
Inside the configuration menu and the calibration menu, we can find different types of
parameters:
a) Free access, they can always be read and modified.
b) Protected, they can always be read but only modified under certain conditions. There are two
types of parameters:
-Metrological parameters: These parameters affect directly the calibration counter, in the
schemes are accompanied by the P symbol. To be able to modify these parameters it is
necessary to set the correct PIN number and the calibration switch (see figure 3.1.1) should be
in the unlock position when getting into the configuration menu.
-None-metrological parameters: These parameters do not affect to the calibration counter, in
the schemes are accompanied by the P symbol. To be able to modify these parameters it is
only necessary to set the correct PIN number, independently of the calibration switch position.

The calibration counter is shown on the display when turning on the indicator.

To prevent access to the protected parameters there

is a switch located in the left side of the indicator, just above
the load cell connector. In the left position the switch allows
protected parameters to be changed, but in the right position
the protected parameters cannot be changed.

4.1.1 ZERO (0ero)

- Automatic zero adjustment: To automatically adjust the zero value make sure there is no
weight on it and press the enter key. The indicator will show the present coefficient value. On pressing
enter again the message *CALIB* will be shown while the indicator assesses the present value. Once
accepted it will be stored. It is recommended to keep this coefficient value or print it by means of
printing the parameters (see 5.1.3).
- Manual zero adjustment: this coefficient is the internal value of the ADC, and corresponds to

the calibration zero value; to introduce manually the zero value key has to be pressed. Then we
select the corresponding digit with the Arrow Left and Arrow Right keys ( ). The selected digit value
is modified with Arrow Up key ( ). If a negative value has to be introduced it can only be done with the
first left digit. The negative sign appears after the 9 number.

4.1.2 SPAN (span)

- Automatic span adjustment: To automatically adjust the span, place a certified test weight on
the scale and press Enter. The maximum scale value is displayed, if the weight placed on the scale is
different, key in the real value. Press the Enter key and *CALIB* is displayed while the unit calculates
the span coefficient. After accepting it, it is stored. It is recommended to keep this coefficient value or
print it by means of printing the parameters (see 5.1.3).

Calibration

- Manual span adjustment: this coefficient is an internal software value that corresponds to the

calibration coefficient gain value, of the scale. To introduce manually the span value key has to be
pressed. Then we select the corresponding digit with the Arrow Left and Arrow Right keys ( ). The
selected digit value is modified with Arrow Up key ( ). If a negative value has to be introduced it can
only be done with the first left digit. The negative sign appears after the 9 number.

ATTENTION
The zero and span coefficients value is obtained by means of the
impression of the parameters (see 5.1.3)

4.1.3 TW SPAN (fspan)

Span fine adjustment. Use the right/left arrow keys to adjust this value. Press Enter to store the
value.

4.1.4 LIN, LIN_C y LIN_I (lin,lin_c,lin_1)

To activate the linearity adjustment function.
These are the options:
OFF: Linearity adjustment deactivated
ON: Linearity adjustment activated
RESET: Linearity adjustment deactivated and linearity adjustment parameters cleaning
In On position, you access parameters LIN POINT, LIN COR.
LIN_C: Applied load (known value of the mass chosen for the correction)
LIN_I: Indication of the applied load
These parameters allow the correction of a possible non linearity in the system.
This adjustment is performed in the point you choose from 0 to MAX.
After adjusting the scale (zero and span), if a linearity error is detected due to a discrepancy between
the load and the system indication, choose a point where discrepancy is more significant and then
adjust linearity.
The linearity error disappears at that point and is fundamentally reduced in the rest of points (see
figure 4.1.4.1).

Figure 4.1.4.1 Behavior linearity adjustment, before and after, respectively

4-2
 Calibration

This is the procedure:

1-Select the Reset option in the LIN parameter, in order to assess the system linearity without
any pre-existing correction. The LIN parameter is deactivated and any previous correction is
deleted.
2-Place a known load in a point of the range where there is a significant linearity error. Note
down the indication value.
3-Select ON in the LIN parameter and then you gain access to LIN_C and LIN_I parameters.
4-Key in the load value in the LIN_C parameter and press Enter to confirm.
5-Key in the indication value in the LIN_I parameter and press Enter to confirm.
6-The correction has been made.
7-This procedure can be repeated without clearing the previous correction (continue from
point 2).
This adjustment calculates an internal algorithm which will be applied whenever the LIN
parameter is ON, even if the indicator is redefined or recalibrated. That is why it is important to
deactivate it or delete it if its application is not important anymore.
However, whenever a span adjustment is made (SPAN parameter), in the moment of validating
the calculated coefficient a message notifies us that the LIN parameter is activated, where appropriate.

4.2 Numerical Calibration (CAL 2)

If there is no reference weight value, it is possible to make a theoretical calibration using capacity
and sensibility values (mV/V) of the load cells used.
For a calibration of maximum precision you always have to use the calibration with masses.
Within the numerical calibration level, parameters showed in Figure 4.2.1 can be found.

parameters), we are inside the configuration menu, being the first configuration screen the next; from

4.2.1 LCAP (lcap)

Nominal capacity (Emax) of one of the load cells from the scale. It is expressed in the same
decimal point used in MAX and DIV (see scale definition 3.2.1, 3.2.2 and 3.2.3).

4.2.2 LNUM (lno)

Number of load receiver supports. All supports must be counted, both those which rest on load
cells and those which do not.

Calibration

4.2.3 L Sn (lsn)
Load cells nominal sensibility in mV/V (if values are not the same, calculate the average).

4.2.4 ZERO (0ero)

- Automatic zero adjustment: To automatically adjust the zero value make sure there is not any
weight on it and press the enter key. The indicator will show the present coefficient value. On pressing
enter again the message *CALIB* will be shown while the indicator assesses the present value. Once
accepted it will be stored. It is recommended to keep this coefficient value or print it by means of
printing the parameters (see 5.1.3).
- Manual zero adjustment: this coefficient is the internal value of the ADC, and corresponds to

the calibration zero value; to introduce manually the zero value key has to be pressed. Then we
select the corresponding digit with the Arrow Left and Arrow Right keys ( ). The selected digit value
is modified with Arrow Up key ( ). If a negative value has to be introduced it can only be done with the
first left digit. The negative sign appears after the 9 number.

ATTENTION
The zero and span coefficients value is obtained by means of the
impression of the parameters (see 5.1.3)

4.2.5 Dead load (dead_l)

It is the dead load of the structure.
By changing this parameter changes the zero of the system. This parameter can be used in
scales where is not possible to empty the scale to perform the zero calibration of the system.
It can be used in the following cases:

- In a weighing system where is not possible to empty it, to perform the zero calibration, but we
know the dead load of the structure: the zero calibration of the system can be done, without
being necessary empty the scale, according to procedure “example of use 1”.

- In a weighing system where is not possible to empty it, to perform the zero calibration, we do
NOT know the dead load, but we know the net weight of the product. In this case, we can
perform the adjustment of the system and deduce the dead load of the system, according to
procedure “example of use 2”. The accuracy of the dead load obtained, depends on the
accuracy of the net weight.

We should keep in mind when modifying this parameter, we are modifying the zero of the system
and consequently, the internal calibration counter will increase.
If we modify the gain of the device (span), the dead load of the system will be recalculated.
The same happens when doing a zero through ZERO option (see 4.2.4).

Example of use 1: Performs the zero adjustment of the system, knowing its dead load.

1. First of all, we should define the weighing system through menu DEF (see 3.2).
2. Once the definition it is done, we have to enter in menu CAL 2 (see 4.2) and set the
capacity, sensitivity and number of load cells.
3. Next, we have to set the Dead Load value of the structure (dead_l), (see 4.2).

4-4
 Calibration

Example of use 2: Performs the deduction of the Dead Load of the system, knowing its
net Weight of the product.

1. First of all, we should define the weighing system through menu DEF (see 3.2).
2. Once the definition it is done, we have to enter in menu CAL 2 (see 4.2) and set the
Dead Load value to 0.
3. Next, we have to perform the numerical calibration of the gain. We have to set the
capacity, sensitivity and number of load cells, (see 4.2).
4. With menu Weight x10 (h_res ) (see 5.1.1), we can see the weight of the scale
multiplied by ten. This weight is the gross weight (GW) above the load cells.
5. We will calculate the Deal Load of the system by subtracting the gross weight (GW),
obtained in paragraph 4, the net weight NW (known or estimated) of the material inside
the silo. So Deal Load is DL= GW – NW.
6. Now we have to set this value of Deal Load obtained in (dead_l), and validate the
value.
7. Once the (dead_l) value is validated, the device recalculates the new zero and
adjusts the system, saving the adjustment parameters.

6.5 MODBUS Protocol

6.5.1 General Characteristics
The MODBUS protocol that incorporates this device is based on the specifications of the guide
“MODBUS over serial line specification and implementation guide V1.02” published by the Modbus Organization
(www.modbus.org).
This protocol allows interconnecting multiple devices (server) to a device (client); this client is
able to interact individually with them through RS-485 channel. There are two different formats for
MODBUS communication – ASCII and RTU- both supported for this device.
To activate the MODBUS protocol in the device, ASCII or RTU format in option TYPE (see 3.4)
should be selected. Parameters baud rate and parity must be the same in the SWIFT as in all the
others. It is also necessary to configure the bus address on each device to be able to identify each
device in the bus (see 3.4.8)

6.5.2 MODBUS supported functions

Function Description
01(0x01) READ COILS
02(0x02) READ DISCRETE INPUTS
03(0x03) READ HOLDING REGISTER
04(0x04) READ INPUT REGISTER
05(0x05) WRITE SINGLE COIL
06(0x06) WRITE SINGLE REGISTER
15(0x0F) WRITE MULTIPLE COIL
16(0x10) WRITE MULTIPLE REGISTER
Table 6.5.2.1

6.5.3 Warnings and saving parameters in the NVM (nonvolatile memory)

Many of the writing parameters are saved in NVM. This memory has limited writing cycles
(typically 100.000), so we should avoid writing continuously on it.
In E2PROM column is indicated if a Holding Register is saved or not in the NVM. Set points
(registers from 41010 to 41015) are saved directly when modifying. The rest of parameters only are
saved in E2PROM when the correspondent command (the 32) is written in the command register
(register 41001).When turning off the device, if the writing command is not executed the written value
will not be stored, recovering the last stored value.

6-5
Communications

6.5.4 Parameters and variables addressing

The access and distribution to the parameters and variables in MODBUS registers is as follows:

1. The digital inputs reading are done by the command READ DISCRETE INPUTS. See table
Discrete inputs 6.5.10.3.1.
2. The digital outputs state reading is done by the command READ COILS. See table Coils
6.5.10.4.
3. The digital outputs writing is done by the command WRITE SINGLE COIL or WRITE
MULTIPLE COIL. See table Coils 6.5.10.4. To be able to write in a digital output is
necessary to be configured as remote control (PC_Ctrl). See paragraph 3.7.3.
4. The only reading parameters or variables are read by the command READ INPUT
REGISTER. See table Input Registers 6.5.10.2.1
5. The reading/writing parameters are read by the command READ HOLDING REGISTER
and are written by the command WRITE SINGLE REGISTER and WRITE MULTIPLE
REGISTER. See table Holding Registers 6.5.10.1.1. When writing a 32 bits variable, it is
important to keep in mind that should be done by command WRITE MULTIPLE REGISTER
because MODBUS single register has 16 bits.

6.5.5 Command Register

The command register (holding register 41001) is used to execute functions in the device.
These functions can be tare, safe parameters in NVM, etc. In table 6.5.7.2 there the available
commands are listed. The execution is performed by writing the correspondent code in this register.
The PREFIXED TARE function needs writing the first tare value in command data register (addresses
41002, 41003). If for any reason, the command cannot be executed the system will give an error
message.

6.5.6 Returned Error Codes

When the device receives a MODBUS command (correct address and checksum) answers with
the data requested or with a status operation indication. When an error appears, answers with
the following standard codes:

Error Code Possible causes

ILLEGAL - Received function do not recognized by the device
FUNCTION 1
- Wrong received format command
- No registers in this address
- Intent to write in only read register
ILLEGAL
- Intent to write in register only accessible in REMOTE
DATA 2
ADDRESS mode
- Intent to partial (one register) write in a 32 bits (two
registers) variable
- Wrong written value in a variable.
- Example: out of range, not compatible with scale
ILLEGAL
DATA VALUE 3 division, etc…
- Written command do not recognized in command
register (see 6.5.5)
SERVER - Error when saving in NVM (nonvolatile memory).
DEVICE 4 - Intent to write in a digital output not configured as
FAILURE remote mode (PC_Ctrl)
SERVER - At this moment the device cannot process the
DEVICE 6 command

 Communications

6.5.7 Using the command register

Besides the reading and writing parameters and variables through the MODBUS registers, the
user can execute actions in the device through the command register. We use the following registers.

Command Registers
Address Description Comments
41001 Command Register See table 6.5.7.2
41002 Command Data (H)
41003 Command Data (L)
41004 Status Command Register Only read. See table 6.5.7.3
Table 6.5.7.1

The command register reading (41001) has the same answer as the status register (41004).
Writing a command code in the command register will cause an action according to the following
table:
Available Commands
Code Function
1 Zeroing
2 Automatic Tare
Prefixed tare.( first of all write the
3 tare value in the command
register data)
6 Exit tare
Print (prints a ticket if RS-232
7
port is configured in ticket mode)
30 Reset device
Save in NVM (nonvolatile
32
memory) the modified registers
Cancel (allows to cancel
functions, if for any reason they
1100 stay in a state indefinitely
because a non-stability or a load
cell error)
Table 6.5.7.2

During command 32 execution (save in NVM) the device response with error code 6 (SERVER
DEVICE BUSY) to any MODBUS command.
When sending 1(zero), 2 (automatic tare) and 7 (print) commands, the device can take a while
for executing them (i.e. non stable weight). During this time if we attempt to read the command status
through 41001 or 41004 registers, we will get the correspondent code function and value 4 in status
(executing command pending).
When a function is in 4 status (executing pending) is possible to send the Cancel command
(code 100) to cancel it. When reading the status register command afterwards the cancel command
has been sent we can have two different answers:
1. Cancel code function and status 2 (error): Indicates there is no executing pending function.
2. Function codes 1, 2 or 7 and status 8 (cancel command): Indicates corresponding function
has been canceled.
Reading the status register (41004) we can tell if the command has been successfully executed.
The read data format is as follows:

6-7
Communications

Status register reading (16 bits)

High byte (8 bits) Low byte (8 bits)
Executing command code Status:
(according to table 6.5.7.2) Value Command execution
1 Correct
2 Error during execution
4 Execution pending
8 Cancelled command through executing
cancel command (code 100)

Table 6.5.7.3

Command 3 (Prefixed Tare) needs a previous writing in data register (41002 and 41003). Is a 32
bits value, this value should be within the scales capacity and should be compatible with the scale
division. If these conditions are not accomplished an error will be shown during the command
execution.
Command 32 (save in NVM) saves the data in a nonvolatile memory. If this command is not sent,
data will be lost when restarting the device. The writing in a nonvolatile memory is a slow process,
during this time the device answer with the error SERVER DEVICE BUSY.

6.5.8 Numerical data format

Registers in MODBUS protocol has 16 bits size. To transmit the three basic numerical variables
we use the following format:

Byte variables (8 bits):

16 bits Register
MSB ( Most significant byte) LSB (Low significant byte)
0x00 Valor de la variable (8 bits)
Table 6.5.8.1

Integer variables (16 bits):

16 bits Register
MSB ( Most significant byte) LSB (Low significant byte)
Variable (MSB) Variable (LSB)
Table 6.5.8.2

Long variables (32 bits):

We use two registers: Assuming that we define the variable as four bytes numbered from 1 to 4 with 1
being the least significant would have the following format:
First register 16 bits
MSB ( Most significant byte) LSB (Low significant byte)
4th Byte of the variable 3rd Byte of the variable
Table 6.5.8.3

Second register 16 bits

MSB ( Most significant byte) LSB (Low significant byte)
2nd Bite of the variable 1st Bite of the variable
Table 6.5.8.4

6.5.9 MODBUS address conversion:

Data register tables have their addresses in standard Modbus format. To convert this address
into the necessary message for the Modbus format, these operations should be done:

6-8
 Communications

1. If the address of the table is lower than 1000 then you have to subtract 1 to send it to the
device. Example: Digital output 1 access is through COIL 1, its address is 00001. The
message should send the address 0.
2. If the address is higher than 1000 and has the following format 1xxxx, 3xxxx or 4xxxx, we
have to delete the first digit and the remaining number should be subtract 1. This is the
value to send. Example: To access to Command register 41001, we have to send 1000
address in decimal (03E8 hexadecimal).

6.5.10 Registers address tables

In these tables are indicated the addresses and the content of all the available registers.
In the first column you can find the address register and in the second and third column are the
address converted to the required MODBUS command format, in hexadecimal and in decimal.

6.5.11 Binary mode on digital outputs

Operating in binary mode, the three relays work together as a binary output of 3 bits to show 8
different levels controlled by net weight. These levels are controlled by 7 setpoints that can only be
programmed and consulted through MODBUS. These setpoints are independent of the three setpoints
VL(1), VL(2) and VL(3) of D_OUT configuration.
This mode can be activated or disabled by a register (Binary mode status) only accessible
through MODBUS. These registers are reinitialized to zero every time the device is powered on (the
value of the registers are not saved in E2PROM memory).
When the binary mode is activated, the D_OUT configuration is disabled and the outputs trigger
according to net weight and the binary setpoints configuration (VLB(1)…VLB(7)) programmed in
registries 41151 to 41164 on MODBUS as the following figure shows:

NET weight

Figure 6.5.11.1 Response of digital outputs in binary mode

VLB1…VLB7: are the values of net weight programmed as the 7 binary setpoints (MODBUS
41151 to 41164 registers) and must contain valid values in ascending order, it means
VLB2 must to be higher than VLB1, and VLB3 must to be higher than VBL2, etc.
Digital outputs trigger according to the binary Gray code configuration: 000, 001, 011, 010, 110,
111, 101, 100. This configuration allows changing only one relay between one output and the next
output.

The table 6.5.10.1.1 shows the 8 Holding Registers to control the relays in binary mode (Gray
code).

None of these registers are saved on E2PROM memory. Restarting the device sets to zero all
the 7 binary setpoints and the 41150 register (Binary mode status), so digital outputs start working in
the standard mode configured in the D_OUT menu.

Trying to access to digital output configuration or pressing key while working in the binary
mode, will show in the screen e r r 3 .

7.2 Load cell sealing

The sealing of the load cell connection, should be done by using a transparent plastic plate that
avoids the possibility to unscrew the connections once is installed.
This plastic plate should be sealed through two screws, which fix the plate to the device.
