 INSTRUMENT OPERATION
Weight indicator with 2 settable 2 set-points on entire measurement range, logic outputs on two
voltage-free contacts (max 24Vdc 60mA). For weights equal to or greater than the set point
values, the relative contacts are closed. The contacts are opened and closed taking into account
the values of istheresys, timers and energisation delays set in the relative constants. The
instrument is equipped with 2 inputs; input 1 can be used for the weight zero-setting function and
the peak function, while input 2 can be used for the net/gross function or to send a string
containing weighing data to a 24-column printer. Instrument calibration can be performed by
setting a number of parameters in the instrument constants (THEORETICAL CALIBRATION), or
by means of a sample weight (CALIBRATING WEIGHT CALIBRATION).
The W60.000 is also equipped with a serial port which can operate in RS232 or in RS422-485 for
connections to repeater, 24-column printer, PC/PLC with Laumas or ModBus protocol, or BCD
board.
On request an analogue output is also available (16 bit) with full scale settable from 10 to 100%
of the measurement range (16 bit 65536 div. ).

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF WEIGHT INDICATORS

- The entry into the cable board of cells must be independent ( on one side or the other of the
board ) and directly connected to the terminal board of the device without breaking by bearing
terminal boards or passing through troughs containing other cables.

- Use the " RC " filters on the instrument-driven coils of the remote control switches.

- Avoid inverter, if inevitable, use filters and separate with sheets.

- In case of 230Vac supply, use a 380/230Vac transformer avoiding to use the 380Vac phase
and the neutral.

- The installer of the board is responsible for securing the electrical safety of the indicators.

- It is a good norm to let the indicators always switch on to prevent the formation of
condensation.

 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: The following procedures must be performed by specialist

personnel. All connections must be made with the instrument switched off.

Connect the load cells by means of a terminal board housed inside a waterproof junction box,
interconnecting the cells with wires of the same colour. The same procedure applies to the
shields, keeping them separate from the earthing system and connected metal parts. Connect the
terminal board to the W60.000 instrument by means of a 6-core shielded cable with a minimum
section of 0.2 mm2.
This cable must routed separately and far from the power cables and if possible using a metal
protection sleeve.

 INSTRUMENT START-UP:

Switch on the instrument and wait for five minutes until all components reach a stable
temperature. Check that the display value is positive and increments when weight is applied on
the container. If the reading is negative or the instrument displays the message “no Conn”, ”SEGn
InF” or “no-SEGn” check load cell connections and ensure correct cell positioning (loading
position ).
Check that the container is installed correctly (position of tubes, sleeves, couplings etc. ).

TARE ZERO-SETTING
( ONLY FOR INSTRUMENT ALREADY CALIBRATED IN LABORATORY)

Ensure that the container is empty and during the initial display phase, press followed by

and keep pressed for 3 seconds for access to the main set-up menu and display:

“CALtE” , press , to display:

“CALIbr”, press to display the message “CAL” alternated with the weight value, press

to zero-set the system tare, press to return to the main menu and display “CALIbr”,

press and the message “StorE” is displayed, after which press to return to the
weight display.

After the tare zero-setting, the tare value will be memorized in the “ZEro” parameter (submenu
“CALtE”), take note the value (see page 7).
In case of or instrument replacement, if it is not possible to unload the product to repeat the
operation, you can write the “ZEro” value memorized in the “tArA” parameter (submenu “CALtE”).

ERROR SIGNALS:
If the instrument displays the message “ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ” this means that the weight is
greater than the total capacity of the weighing scale ( “CAPAC” ).

-5-
 INSTRUMENT CALIBRATED IN LABORATORY

Set values : “CAPAC” ( ); “SEnSIb” ( ); “dIVIS” ( )

In this case the instrument is supplied pre-calibrated; proceed with a calibration check.

INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION CHECK:

Ensure that the container is empty and that the instrument displays zero. Place a significant
amount of products in the container (equal to at least 50% of the maximum quantity to be
weighed) and ensure that the instrument indicates the correct value.
- If there is a significant difference between the displayed value and effective amount ( greater
than 1-2% ) check that this is not caused by a mechanical fault and check the electrical
connections of the cell and the cell loading position.
- If the difference is not significant but around 1-2 % proceed with WEIGHT DISPLAY
CORRECTION VIA KEYBOARD ( see next paragraph).

WEIGHT DISPLAY CORRECTION VIA KEYBOARD:

If the instrument indicates a weight that is different from actual product weight inside the
container, proceed as follows:

Press followed by and keep pressed for 3 seconds for access to the main set-up

menu and display: “CALtE”, press to display “CALIbr” , press to display “CAL”

alternated with the weight, then press and the displayed value will appear, enter the correct

value of the weight into the container by using keys and to increase or decrease the

value and to move to the next digit. Check no other weight is applied on the container and

confirm by pressing , the message “ CALIbr ” alternated with the weight returns on display.

To repeat the weight correction press , otherwise press to confirm or to exit, the

“StorE” message will appear. Press to return to the weight displaying.

After the WEIGHT DISPLAY CORRECTION, the “PortA” parameter (submenu “CALtE”) will be

 INSTRUMENT TO CALIBRATE

In this case the instrument has been supplied not calibrated; proceed with CALIBRATION
(theoretical or with sample weight), tare reset and calibration check procedures.

CALIBRATION PARAMETERS (submenu “CALtE”)

“CAPAC” ( kg , only whole numbers) , full scale load cells , it is used for Theoretical instrument
Calibration.

“tArA” ( kg , only whole numbers ) , Tare, it is used for setting the tare value when it is not
possible to unload the product to execute a TARE ZERO-SETTING.

“SEnSIb” ( mV/V ) , load cell sensitivity expressed in mV, it is used for Theoretical instrument
Calibration.

“dIVIS” , system’s division , it is used for Theoretical instrument Calibration.

“PortA” ,( ) Capacity : only reading parameter; after calibration (theoretical or with

sample weight) this parameter shows the value memorized in the “CAPAC” parameter. It changes
after a WEIGHT DISPLAY CORRECTION VIA KEYBOARD.
Take note this value. In case of tamperings, if it is not possible to unload the product or using the
sample weights to repeat the calibration, you can write the value memorized in the “PortA”
parameter in the “CAPAC” parameter (THEORETICAL INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION).

“ZEro” ,( ) only reading parameter , after the tare zero-setting, the tare value will
be memorized in this parameter. Take note the value; in case of tamperings, if it is not possible to
unload the product to repeat the operation, you can write the value memorized in the “ZEro”
parameter in the “tArA” parameter .

THEORETICAL INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION:

The entry of a series of parameters ( “CAPAC “ “SEnSIb” “dIVIS” ) enables instrument

calibration without the need for a sample weight. Obviously the calibration settings should be
tested with a known quantity of product.

Press followed by and keep pressed for 3 seconds to display:

“CALtE”, press to display:

 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS
Communication parameters:

Selectable baud rates 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400; 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

In RS422-485 it is possible to connect up to 32 instruments.

Communication protocols:

- CONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL ( selected by setting “Cont in” in the submenu

“ProtoC” of the main menu “SErIAL” ).

- MANUAL PROTOCOL ( selected by setting “MAnuAL”in the submenu “ProtoC” of the main
menu “SErIAL”).

- AUTOMATIC PROTOCOL ( selected by setting “AutoM” in the submenu “ProtoC” of the

main menu “SErIAL”).

- “SLAVE” PROTOCOL ( selected by setting “SLAVE” in the submenu “ProtoC” of the main
menu “SErIAL”).

- MODBUS PROTOCOL ( selected by setting “ModbUS” in the submenu “ProtoC”of the main
menu “SErIAL”).

CONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL

Baud rate 9600 / 38400, 6 readings/second.

In this protocol the following string is transmitted:

& N x x x x x x L y y y y y y \ ck ck CR

in which:
& = string beginning identifier ( 38 ASCII )
N = net weight reference character ( 78 ASCII )
x x x x x x = 6 ASCII characters of net weight or Peak (if present) ( 48 ÷ 57 ASCII ).
L = gross weight reference character ( 76 ASCII)
y y y y y y = 6 ASCII characters of gross weight ( 48 ÷ 57 ASCII ).
\ = separator ( 92 ASCII )
ck ck = 2 ASCII checksum characters calculated considering the characters between &
and \ excluded. The checksum value is obtained from the calculation of XOR (or

- 31 -
 exclusive) of the 8-bit ASCII codes of the characters considered. This obtains a character
expressed in hexadecimals with two digits that can have the values from “0” to “9” and
from ”A” to “F”. “ck ck” is the ASCII code of the two hexadecimal digits.
CR = end string identifier ( 13 ASCII )

The first character of net/gross weight can get the value “–” (ASCII 45) in case of negative weight.

CHECK-SUM CALCULATION

The check-sum comprises 2 ASCII characters ( ck ck ) obtained from the following procedure:
- Consider just UNDERLINED characters.
- Calculate the OR EXCLUSIVE ( XOR ) of the ASCII codes of the characters:
the XOR binary operation gives the result 1 when the number of 1 of the operators is odd;
otherwise it gives the result 0.
Example:
character decimal ascii code hexadecimal ascii code binary ascii code
0 48 30 00110000
1 49 31 00110001
t 116 74 01110100
XOR = 117 75 01110101

- the result of the XOR operation expressed in hexadecimal notation comprises 2 hexadecimal
digits ( i.e. numbers from 0 to 9 or letters from A to F ).
- The check sum comprises 2 characters which represent the result of the XOR operation in
hexadecimal notation ( in this example the character " 7 " and the character " 5 " ).
Examples of calculated check sum: $ 02 t 76 <CR> ( requested weight address 2).
N.B. If the PEAK input is active, the peak value is sent in place of the weight value; no decimal
points are transmitted; if the weight is negative the minus sign is entered in place of the most
significant weight digit. In the event of over_flow the string will contain the characters “ o-F “ in
place of the weight; in the event of overload, it will contain “ o-L “.

AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL PROTOCOLS

A string is sent to enable printout on a 24-column printer of the instrument identification code
(address), the gross weight , the date and time and the peak value if active.

The string format is as follows:

Line start address CR Com. print date time CR Skip line CR Gross weight CR Peak CR

- 32 -
In which:
Line start = ( 0 ASCII )
Address instrument identification code
CR = (13 ASCII )
Print date and time command = ( 18 ASCII )
Skip line command = ( 48 ÷ 63 ASCII ), ( 11 ASCII ). Number of lines to skip from 48 to 63 (48=zero;
63=16 lines to skip).

If the weight is negative the minus sign is entered in place of the most significant weight digit.

SLAVE PROTOCOL

The communication initiave must be taken by the PC. The instrument waits for the time set in the
DELAY constant before sending the response string to the PC (see “dELAY” page 25).

Baud rate 9600 , 30 readings / second ; Baud rate 38400 , 90 readings / sec.

1. SETPOINT ENTRY FROM PC:

The PC must transmit the following string: $ a a x x x x x x y ck ck CR

in which:
$ = string beginning identifier
aa = instrument address
xxxxxx = 6 set-point characters
y = A (setpoint 1)
y = B (setpoint 2)
ck ck = 2 check-sum characters ( 2 ASCII checksum characters calculated considering
characters between $ and \ excluded. The checksum value is obtained from the
calculation of XOR (or exclusive) of the 8-bit ASCII codes of the characters considered.
This obtains a character expressed in hexadecimals with two digits that can have the
values from “0” to “9” and from ”A” to “F”. “ck ck” is the ASCII code of the two
hexadecimal digits.
CR = string end character

Warning: If in the “dIVIS” parameter has been programmed a value different from zero and
the set-point value that you want to programme is not multiple of “dIVIS” value,
the instrument will round to the nearest whole number below. For example: if
“dIVIS” = 2 and you programme 101, the instrument will round to 100.

In case of correct reception W60000 replys with the following string : & & a a ! \ ck ck CR

in which :
- 33 -
 & & = 2 characters of string beginning ( 38 ASCII )
a a = 2 c. of address
! = 1 c. of ok reception ( 33 ASCII )
\ = 1 c. of separation ( 92 ASCII )
ck ck = 2 c. of check-sum
CR = 1 c. of string end ( 13 ASCII )

while in case of a wrong reception it replies with the following string: & & a a ? \ ck ck CR

in which :
? = 1 c. of reception error ( 63 ASCII )

2. MEMORISE SET-POINTS IN E2prom:

The setpoints entered via the PC are saved in the RAM volatile memory and are lost when the
instrument is switched off. To save permanently, send the following command:

The PC must transmit: $ a a M E M ck ck CR

W60000 in case of correct reception replys with the following string: & & a a ! \ ck ck CR

while in case of a wrong reception it replies with the following string: & & a a ? \ ck ck CR

in which:
j = a (setpoint 1)
j = b (setpoint 2)
j = t (gross weight)
j = n (net weight)
j = p (peak)

In the event of correct reception, W60000 responds with: & a a x x x x x x j \ ck ck CR

The first character of weight can get the value “ – ” (ASCII 45) in case of negative weight.

while in the event of a peak request, with no peak configured, it responds with: & a a # CR

- 34 -
Error messages:

In case of weight present in the container is higher than maximum capacity “CAPAC”, the alarm
message “ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ” will be displayed.
The instrument will transmit the string: & a a s s O-L s t \ ck ck

In case of wrong load cells connection, the “ o-F ” message will be displayed. The instrument will
transmit the following string: & a a s s O-F s t \ ck ck
in which :
s= one separator character (32 ASCII – space-).

4. WEIGHT RESET VIA PC:

The PC must transmit: $ a a Z E R O ck ck CR

In the event of reset request over the maximum resettable value, it responds with: & a a # CR

In the event of correct reception, the instrument responds with: & & a a ! \ ck ck CR

while in case of a wrong reception it replies with the following string: & & a a ? \ ck ck CR

5. NET WEIGHT SWITCHING:

The PC must transmit: $ a a N E T ck ck CR

The Pc transmit : $ a a D ck ck CR

- 35 -
In the event of correct reception, the instrument responds with: & a a x y \ ck ck CR

in which:
x = decimals;
y = divisions;
a a = instrument address

If the number have no decimals ‘y’ field has those meaning:

'6' in case of division’s value = 10;
'7' in case of division’s value = 20;
'8' in case of division’s value = 50;
'9' in case of division’s value = 100;

while in case of a wrong reception it replies with the following string: & & a a ? \ ck ck CR

MODBUS PROTOCOL

The addresses specified in the tables are based on the standard addressing system
provided in the reference guide of Modicon PI-MBUS-300.

Special warnings:
In the MODBUS protocol, data is written directly in the instrument memory.

Pay special attention to the values sent to the instrument: these must remain within the ranges
specified in the tables on the following pages (and must guarantee correct instrument operation).

Some data (see the column Memorised in E2prom in tables below) will be written directly into a
special memory named E2prom, which can be written a limited number of times only (100,000).
Therefore avoid writing continuously in these locations.

To confirm entry of a new value in E2prom, execute the function MAKE – BACKUP.
If this function is not performed, the value prior to the modification will be restored when the
instrument is switched off. Bearing in mind the above, if several data need to be programmed,
execute this function after writing all required data.

Note: If not otherwise specified, numerical values (such as addresses, codes and data) are
expressed as decimal values in the following pages.

The values 40003, 40004, 40006 and 40007 are composed by two registers and expressed
in value of weight.

All the other weight values (set-point, peak) are expressed in divisions (for example : if
“DIVIS” = 2, 2000 weight value will be transmitted 1000).

 EXAMPLE OF GROSS WEIGHT ACQUISITION

To acquire the gross weight execute 3 requests of MODBUS registers reading ( from 40003 to
40005).
Use the FUNCTION 3 (READ HOLDING REGISTERS)

For example, the string will be:

• 02h: Address W60000 n°02
• 03h: FUNCTION 3
• 0002h: Address input register to be read (the number 4 means an holding register, the string
address must be decreased of 1 and expressed in hexadecimals)
• 0003h: Number of registers succeeding to be read (if you indicate more than one register
W60000 transmits the data of registers with address following that indicated).
• A438h: CRC calculated according to procedure indicated into PI-MBUS-300
W60000 responds with the following string:
• 02h: Address W60000 n°02
• 03h: FUNCTION 3
• 06h: 6 bytes of transmitted data (an holding register comprises 2 bytes)
• 0001h : gross weight value ( 2 bytes most significant expressed in hexadecimals)
• 025Ah : gross weight value ( 2 bytes least significant expressed in hexadecimals)
• 0004h: input status byte, see the reference table
• 282Dh: CRC calculated according to procedure indicated into PI-MBUS-300
For more information see the reference guide of Modicon PI-MBUS-300.
