1.1 Safety instructions for IND690xx

The explosion-protected IND690xx weighing terminal fulfills Device category 3 and is
approved for operation in Zone 2 (gases) and Zone 22 (dusts) hazardous areas.
There is an increased risk of injury and damage when the IND690xx weighing
terminal is used in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Special care must be taken when working in such hazardous areas. The code of
practice is oriented to the "Safe Distribution" concept drawn up by METTLER TOLEDO.

Competence ▲ The IND690xx weighing terminal, accompanying weighing platforms and

accessories may only be installed, maintained and repaired by authorised
METTLER TOLEDO service personnel.
▲ The mains connection may only be connected or disconnected by the owner’s
electrician.

Ex approval ▲ For the exact specification please refer to the statement of conformity.
▲ In order to avoid electrostatic charging the IND690xx may only be installed in
rooms or areas at which strong electric field strengths cannot occur from
experience.
▲ No modifications may be made to the terminal and no repair work may be
performed on the modules. Any weighing platform or system modules that are
used must comply with the specifications contained in the installation instructions.
Non-compliant equipment jeopardizes the safety of the system, cancels the Ex
approval and renders any warranty or product liability claims null and void.
▲ The cable glands must be tightened so that a strain relief of ≥ 20 N per mm cable
diameter is ensured.
▲ When connecting external devices, always observe the maximum permissible
connected loads, see installation information. It must be ensured that no voltages
are fed into the IND690xx than it itself provides. The interface parameters have to
fulfill the standard.
▲ Peripheral devices without an Ex approval may only be operating in non-
hazardous areas. It must be ensured that no voltages are fed into the IND690xx
than it itself provides. In addition the maximum permissible connected loads
have to be observed, see Page instalallation information. The interface
parameters have to fulfill the standard.
▲ The safety of a weighing system including the IND690xx weighing terminal is
only guaranteed when the weighing system is operated, installed and maintained

6.2.4 Terminal messages – only with RS232, RS422, CL20mA and USB
In the dialog mode the weighing terminal transmits an acknowledgement to the
computer each time a key is pressed.
When this pressing of a key is replaced with an interface command, the
acknowledgement only differs in the second character in the response format which
is part of the command:

Function Key Acknowledgement

Set zero {Z[A}

Function keys F1 … F6 {K[F|_|x} x = I, J, K, L, M, N

6.2.5 Fault messages

Fault messages always consist of 2 characters and a string frame.
The string frame can be defined in the master mode (section 5.6.2).

{E[T} Transmission error

The terminal transmits a transmission error for errors in the received bit
sequence, e.g. parity errors, missing stop bit.

{E[S} Syntax error

The terminal transmits a syntax error when the received characters
cannot be processed, e.g. command does not exist.

{E[L} Logic error

The terminal transmits a logic error when a command cannot be
executed, e.g. when an attempt is made to write to a write-protected
application block.

6.3 METTLER TOLEDO continuous mode

These operating modes are suitable for continuous data transmission in real time
from the weighing terminal to METTLER TOLEDO devices, e.g. to a second display.
The data are even transmitted when the weighing platform is moving or the gross
weight = 0.
Commands can also be sent to the weighing terminal, permitting remote control of
certain keys on the terminal.
There are 2 different continuous modes:
• Continuous mode – net and tare values are continuously transmitted.
• Short continuous mode – only net values are continuously transmitted.

6.3.1 Data output from IND690

Output format Weight values are always transmitted in the following format:
STX SB1 SB2 SB3 DF1 DF2 CR CHK

STX ASCII characters 02 hex/2 deci, character for "start of text"

SB... For status bytes, see below
DF1 Data field with 6 digits for the weight value transmitted without a
decimal point and unit
When counting is active in the IND690-Count:
6 digits for the quantity, no leading zeroes
DF2 Data field with 6 digits for the tare weight;
is not transmitted in the short continuous mode
When counting is active in the IND690-Count:
6 zeroes, not transferred in Short Continuous mode
CR Carriage return (ASCII character 0D hex/13 deci)

6.4.4 Error messages

Error messages always consist of 2 characters and a string limit.
The string limit can be defined in the master mode (section 5.6.1).

{E[T} Transmission error

The terminal transmits a transmission error for errors in the received bit
sequence, e.g. parity error, missing stop bit.

{E[S} Syntax error

The terminal transmits a syntax error when it cannot process the
received characters, e.g. command not present.

{E[L} Logic error

The terminal transmits a logic error, when a command cannot be
executed, e.g. when an attempt is made to write an non-writeable
application block.

6.5 Profibus DP communication with a PLC

6.5.1 Overview
The ProfibusDP-690 is designed for operation as a slave on the Profibus DP. This
provides the following possibilities with a master PLC also connected to the Profibus
DP:
• Access to the weight values of the weighing platform connected to the weighing
terminal
• Operation of the weighing platforms connected to the weighing terminal (zero-set,
taring, setting specified tare values, etc.)
• Triggering key presses, transmitting data strings or display of texts

104 Operating instructions 22012808F 07/09

IND690-Base Interface description

6.5.2 Data formats

All user data are transmitted in a compressed, up to 4-word long format.

Write table Format for transmitting user data from the PLC to the ProfibusDP-690.

Read table Format for the transmission of user data from ProfibusDP-690 to the PLC.

Structure of the write and read table

The write and read table are similarly structured and contain the following sections:
• Value (16-bit integer or 32-bit floating point) for the transmission of weight
values, application block numbers, etc.
• Commands or the corresponding responses with a total of 16 bits
• Control of 16 digital I/Os

6.5.3 Handshake
As certain commands can not always be executed immediately by the scale, e.g.
taring with a restless weighing platform, 3 handshake bits of the PLC allow clear
monitoring of the success of its commands:
1. The PLC starts a command by setting the corresponding command bit and also
toggles COMMAND VALID in the write table. All other command bits are 0.
2. The weighing terminal responds with the current data of the read table. If it was
possible to completely process the command, the COMMAND EXECUTED bit is
toggled. Otherwise COMMAND EXECUTED remains unchanged.
3. The PLC recognises whether it can transmit the next command or must repeat the
last one from COMMAND EXECUTED and transmits the write table to the weighing
terminal.
4. The weighing terminal recognises from the status change of the COMMAND
VALID bit that it should carry out the next command. In addition, the weighing
terminal also detects whether the last command has been executed or is still
running. If the PLC attempts to start new commands before the previous one has
been confirmed by the weighing terminal with a status change of COMMAND
VALID, the weighing terminal ignores this new command.

Notes on commands
If the command requires parameters, they will be transmitted either as an integer
value or as a floating point value depending on the operating mode set.
Exception: The commands READ/WRITE APPLICATION BLOCK and PRESS KEY
always expect integer values as parameters.

Read commands • The read commands Display value, Net, Gross, Tare, Key and Application block
overwrite the cyclically transmitted display values with the required data. The data
are transmitted as 16-bit integers or 32-bit floating points. As soon as the
COMMAND EXECUTED bit is toggled, these values must be evaluated immediately
by the PLC, as in the next cycle the value in the read table is overwritten again with
the current weight value.
• The response to the READ KEY NUMBER command (write table bits 1/2/3 = 0/0/1)
is transmitted in the Word 0 (16-bit integer) or in Word 1 (32-bit floating point).
The low byte contains the keyboard code, the high byte the function key code.
The weighing terminal can store a maximum of 10 keys for being called via the
READ KEY NUMBER command. If they are not called, the oldest key actuations are
overwritten.
After reading out the last stored key, the KEY WAS PRESSED bit is reset. The key
memory is cleared after the device is switched on and after the master mode is
exited.

Key numbers

Number Function key

00 Standard keys of IND690-Base

02 Extended tare keys of ID690-Base
51 Standard keys of Pac
52 Extended keys of Pac
... Only when the Pac is equipped with more than one function key
page, i.e. more than 6 function keys

Reading and writing • When writing an application block, the desired data are simultaneously transferred
application blocks with Word 3. For this reason, writing application blocks is only possible in 16-bit
integer/4-word mode.
• Only application blocks with the formats "numeric" or "weight value" can be read
or written. When writing, certain tolerance (sub-)blocks (e.g. with DeltaTrac) can
be intentionally written with the format "percent" by setting the sign to "1".
• If a non-existent block or an alphanumeric block is selected, the IND690 responds
with ERROR COMMAND.
The requested data are supplied in the 16-bit integer mode in the same format as
the weight value, and in the 32-bit floating point mode floating point values are
always transmitted.

108 Operating instructions 22012808F 07/09

IND690-Base Interface description

The application block number in the write table must be entered as a value (Word 0
in 16-bit integer mode, Word 1 in 32-bit floating point mode) in the following format
for the READ APPLICATION BLOCK and WRITE APPLICATION BLOCK commands:

"Basic" application block

Sub-block no. Exp. Application block number

Input of tolerances in %
If the sign (bit 15) in Word 3 is set to 1, tolerance specifications can be written
accurately down to one decimal place in %.
This rule applies in the same way for Word 0 (16-bit integer) and Word 1 (32-bit
floating point) when reading.

Write commands • The write command PRESS KEY requires the low byte keyboard code and the high
byte function key code as parameters.
• The function key code is based on the active function keys and must be correctly
specified for each PRESS KEY command. A function key change can also auto-
matically be forced by changing the function key code, e.g. from REF 10
(3301 hex) to X10 (0004 hex).
• The setpoints loaded via the WRITE SETPOINT X commands (e.g. Setpoint 1: write
table bits 4/5/6 = 0/0/1) are deleted after switch-on and each time the master
mode is run. The Tolerance parameter in the setpoint modes Checking and Filling
must be specified in the 16-bit integer mode with 2 decimal places, e.g. 1025 for
10.25 %.

6.5.5 Digital I/Os

The operating mode of an I/O interface (4 I/O-690 or a relay box 8-690) installed on
the IND690 is dependent on where the I/Os are located (directly on the IND690 or
externally on the Profibus) and on the parameters CONTROL INPUTS, CONTROL

10.3 Notes on CL handshake

With the CL handshake 3 types of interface control are possible:
Handshake in receiving direction, in transmitting direction and in both directions.
After switch-on and after each interruption, the IND690 attempts to establish the
handshake in both directions.

CL handshake in This type of CL handshake is suitable for data transmission from the IND690 to the
receiving direction computer.
1. The weighing terminal transmits SYN after switch-on.
2. The computer transmits the character ACK after switch-on or after receiving SYN.
3. The weighing terminal then sends the response to a command or to a key actuation
after each ACK.

CL handshake in This type of CL handshake is suitable for data transmission from the computer to the
transmission direction IND690.
1. The weighing terminal transmits SYN after switch-on.
2. The computer transmits the character SYN after switch-on or after receiving SYN.
3. The weighing terminal acknowledges the receipt of SYN again with SYN and
signals its readiness to receive with ACK.
4. Then the computer can transmit a command after each ACK.

CL handshake in 1. The weighing terminal transmits SYN after switch-on.

both directions 2. The computer transmits the character SYN after switch-on or after receiving SYN.
3. The weighing terminal acknowledges the receipt of SYN again with SYN and
signals its readiness to receive with ACK.
4. The computer signals its readiness to receive with ACK.
5. During operation the weighing terminal receives data and transmits ACK when it
is ready to receive data again.
The computer receives data and transmits ACK when it is ready to receive data
again.
