1.4 Installation Guidelines

IMPORTANT: If the unit gets too hot, it can stop communicating.
When the SCT-20 is installed inside of the electrical panel, it is recommended that the units be installed vertically to a horizontal
DIN rail. This minimizes heat buildup from multiple units being stacked and also enables optimal ventilation through the unit. If
possible, it is recommended that the unit be installed towards the bottom of a panel to avoid the warmest parts of the panel. If
panel size is small, some air circulation may be required.
1.5 Weighing Instrument Installation

The terminals to be connected to ground, as indicated on the SCT Weight Transmitter wiring guide, must have the same
potential as the scale structure ground. If unable to ensure this condition, connect a ground wire between the SCT Weight
Transmitter and the scale structure.
The load cell cable must be run separately to the SCT Weight Transmitter input and not share a conduit with other cables. A
shielded connection must be continuous without a splice.
Use RC filters (quencharcs) on the instrument-driven solenoid valve and remote control switch coils. To avoid electrical noise in
the SCT Weight Transmitter panel, use special filters or sheet metal partitions to isolate. The panel installer must provide
electrical protection for the instruments (fuses, door lock switch, etc.). It is recommended to leave the equipment powered on at
all times to prevent the formation of condensation.
Maximum Cable Lengths:
• RS-485: 1000 meters with AWG24, shielded and twisted cables
• RS-232: 15 meters for baud rates up to 19200

Introduction
1.5.1 Load Cell Installation

The load cells must be placed on rigid, stable structures within 0.5% of plumb and level. It is important to use the mounting
modules for load cells to compensate for misalignment of the support surfaces.
Use waterproof sheaths and joints in order to protect the load cell cables.
Mechanical Restraints
When pipes are present, the use of hoses and flexible couplings and rubber skirted joints is recommended. In the event of rigid
conduit and pipes, place the pipe support or anchor bracket as far as possible from the weighed structure (at a distance at least
40 times the diameter of the pipe).
Welding
Avoid welding with the load cells already installed. If this cannot be avoided, place the welder ground clamp close to the
required welding point to prevent sending current through the load cell body.
Windy Conditions - Shocks - Vibrations
The use of weigh modules is strongly recommended for all load cells to compensate for misalignment of the support surfaces.
The system designer must ensure that the scale is protected against lateral shifting and tipping relating to shocks and vibration,
windy conditions, seismic conditions and the stability of the support structure.
Weighed Structure Grounding
Using a 10 gauge solid or braided wire or braided grounding strap, connect the load cell upper support plate with the lower
support plate, then connect all the lower plates to a single earth ground. Once installed, accumulated electrostatic charges are
discharged to the ground without going through or damaging the load cells. Failure to implement a proper grounding system
may not affect the operation of the weighing system; however, this does not rule out the possibility that the cells and connected
SCT Weight Transmitter may become damaged in the future. Do not ground using metal parts contained in the weighed
structure.

1.6.1 Load Cell Input Test (Quick Access)
1. From the weight display, press for three seconds. is displayed.
2. Press . The response signal of the load cell is displayed, expressed in mV with four decimals.
3. Press three times to exit test mode.
1.6.2 Load Cell Testing
Load Cell Resistance Measurement (Use A Digital Multimeter)
• Disconnect the load cells from the instrument and check that there is no moisture in the load cell junction box caused by
condensation or water infiltration. If so, drain the system or replace it if necessary.
• The value between the positive signal wire and the negative signal wire must be equal or similar to the one indicated in
the load cell data sheet (output resistance).
• The value between the positive excitation wire and the negative excitation wire must be equal or similar to the one
indicated in the load cell data sheet (input resistance).
• The insulation value between the shield and any other load cell wire and between any other load cell wire and the body
of the load cell must be higher than 20 Mohm (megohms).
Load Cell Voltage Measurement (Use A Digital Multimeter)
• Remove the weight of the scale from the load cell to be tested.
• Make sure that the excitation wire of the load cell connected to the instrument is 5 VDC ±3 percent.
• Measure the millivolt signal between the positive and the negative signal wires by directly connecting them to the multi-
meter. Make sure it reads between 0 and 0.5 mV.
• Apply load to the load cell and make sure that there is a signal increment.
IMPORTANT: If one of the above conditions is not met, please contact Rice Lake Weighing Systems Customer Support for
assistance.

1.12 Instrument Commissioning

1. Plug power cord into an outlet to power on the indicator. The display shows in sequence:
•  followed by the software code ()
•  followed by the software version ()
•  followed by the hardware code ()
• The serial number ()
2. Check that the display shows the weight and that there is an increase in weight when loading the load cells. If there is
not, check and verify the connections and correct positioning of the load cells.
3. Confirm that the SCT Weight Transmitter has been theoretically calibrated, the load cell’s rated data is already entered
and that the plant system identification tag is present on the instrument and on the cover.
NOTE: If the instrument has not been calibrated, follow the calibration instructions in Section 2.2.1 on page 20 before
proceeding to next step.
4. Reset to zero. See Section 2.2.3 on page 26.

5. Check the calibration with test weights and correct the indicated weight if necessary. See Section 2.2.5 on page 26.

SCT-20 Series
2.0 Configuration
The SCT-20 is sealed with a self-destructive adhesive label (PN 162881) placed over the seam between the two halves of the
indicator. The seal prevents the top and bottom half from being separated and prohibits access to the jumper as shown in
Figure 2-5 on page 17 from being moved.
The jumper is closed by default for all model shipping from Rice Lake Weighing Systems. With the jumper closed, the SCT-20
can be calibrated and configured. The jumper will need to be removed before the SCT-20 is sealed for Legal for Trade
applications.
NOTE: SCT-20 is configured by default to Legal for Trade mode. See Section 2.14.6 on page 41 to switch to non Legal for
Trade mode.
While the SCT-20 is in weigh mode, the LED annunciators continually scroll to show the jumper is in place.
The SCT-20 packaging includes a self-destructive adhesive label. For Legal for Trade applications, a new self-destructive
adhesive label (PN 162882) and SCT-20 Capacity label (PN 162881) are required after each calibration. To request a new one,
reference the part numbers for each label that is needed for replacement.

IMPORTANT: Perform this procedure only if it is not possible to zero off the scale structure, for example because it contains
product that can not be unloaded.
Enter the estimated structured dead load value that would be zeroed.
3. Press or until  is displayed. Press .
4. Press or until desired dead load value is displayed. Press .
2.2.5 Weight (Span) Calibration (with Test Weights)
After performing the theoretical calibration (Section 2.2.2.3 on page 25) and the Zero setting (Section 2.2.3 on page 26), this
function allows calibration to be done using test weights of known value. If adjustment is required, change the displayed value
to display the test weight value.
1. Load the test weight onto the scale, use as high of a percentage of the maximum quantity to be weighed as possible.
4. Press or until  is displayed.
5. Press . The value of the weight currently on the system will be flashing on the display. All of the LEDs are off. (If
adjustment is not required, skip to step 8.)
6. Adjust the value on display to match weight loaded on the scale if necessary, by pressing or . The LEDs will
begin scrolling.
7. Press , the new set weight is displayed with all the LEDs flashing.
8. Press ,  will be displayed again.

Configuration
Example:
For a system of maximum capacity of 1000 kg and 1 kg division, two test weights are available, one 500 kg and one 300 kg.
Load both weights onto the system and correct the indicated weight to 800. Now remove the 300 kg weight, the system must
show 500; remove the 500 kg weight, too; the system must read zero. If this does not happen, it means that there is a
mechanical problem affecting the system linearity.
IMPORTANT: Identify and correct any mechanical problems before repeating the procedure.
NOTE: If theoretical full scale and recalculated full scale in Weight (Span) Calibration are equal, it means that the theoretical
calibration is currently in use; otherwise, the Weight (Span) Calibration based on test weights is in use.
If the correction made changes the previous full scale for more than 20%, all the parameters with settable weight values are
reset to default values.
Linearization Option On Max 5 Points:
It is possible to perform a linearization of the weight by performing the Weight (Span) Calibration (With Test Weights) with up to
a maximum of five points, using five different test weights. The procedure ends by pressing or after entering the fifth value.
At this point it will no longer be possible to change the calibration value; a new Weight (Span) Calibration would need to be
performed. To perform a new calibration, return to the weight display and then re-enter the calibration menu.
By pressing after having confirmed the test weight that has been set, the full scale displays the value of the maximum test
weight entered and references the cell sensitivity set in the theoretical calibration ().

All other settings are expressed in weight value. To convert them to the new unit of measurement, perform a test where the
values modified according to the coefficient have no legal value. When they are displayed, the active LEDs will flash to indicate
that the displayed value is not a valid weight. Perform a weight (span) calibration for other units of measure to change the
system calibration. The parameter  must remain set to 1.0000.
NOTE: The values modified according to the coefficient have no legal value. When they are displayed, the active LEDs will
flash to indicate that the displayed value is not a valid weight.
Theoretical Calibration For Other Units Of Measure
Set in the parameter the value divided by the conversion coefficient from kg to the new unit of measure.
Example: The 4 load cells of 1000 kg are placed under a scale for olive oil, which has a specific gravity of 0.916 kg / l. Setting
the  = (4x1000) / 0916 = 4367, the system works in liters of olive oil. See Section 2.2.6 on page 27.
Weight (Span) Calibration For Other Units Of Measure
Load a known quantity of product litres on the scale (use as high a percentage of the maximum quantity to be weighed as
possible) and enter in the parameter , the product loaded value in litres. See Section 2.2.6 on page 27.
2.3 Filter On The Weight

The filtering selection is used to eliminate environment noise, and is typically a compromise between responsiveness and
stability. The lower the number, the more responsive the display will be to weight changes. The filter is used to stabilize a weight
as long as the variations are smaller than the corresponding Response Time. The filter setting is dependent on the type of
application and the required update rate (see Table 2-6 ).
Setting the parameter allows a stable weight display to be obtained. To increase the effect (weight more stable), increase value.

GROSS WEIGHT – NET WEIGHT – PEAK

The weight values are expressed as positive integer numbers, include decimal figures but without decimal point.
Read the Status Register to obtain information about sign and possible errors on the weight.
To find out the decimal figures use the division module value; Example: the net weight is 100000 and the division is 0.001 (three
decimals), the real weight value is 100.000kg.
Setpoints – Hysteresis
The weight values are expressed as positive integer numbers, include decimal figures but without decimal point.
• To set the value to 0; write the hexadecimal value hex 80000000 to the register (the most significant bit is 1 and all the
other bits are 0).
• To set them correctly consider the module Division value; E.g. to set a set-point to 100kg and the verification division
value is 0.001, set the set-point value to 100000 (remove the decimal points from the value that would be 100.000 with
decimals).
• If from PLC, a values is set out of the permitted interval (from 0 (not included) to full scale) the value is ignored and the
bit 13 (Writing error) rises in the Status Register.
NOTE: Setpoints and Hysteresis are stored to the RAM volatile memory and lost upon instrument power off. To save them
permanently in the EEPROM memory, so that they are maintained upon the instrument power on, it is necessary to send the
command 99 (Save data in EEPROM) of the Command Register.

Operation
3.8.1 Real Calibration Commands (With Sample Weight)

The SCT20-PB calibration can be changed via PROFIBUS.
To correctly set the sample weight, the value of the division module must be taken into consideration.
Example: to set the value to 100kg and the division value is 0.001, set the register value to 100000 (remove the
decimal points from the value that would be 100.000 with decimals).
To perform the edit calibration procedure:
1. Using the command 100 Zero-Setting for calibration of the command register, unload the system and ensure the
display reads zero.
2. Place a sample weight on the scale.
3. Record the correct known weight value in the Sample Weight for Calibration register.
4. Send the command 101 Sample weight storage for calibration.
5. To verify the correct execution of the calibration command:
• Write the sample weight value to the Sample Weight for Calibration module.
• Write the value 0 to the Sample Weight for calibration module.
• Send the command 101 Sample weight storage for calibration to the Command Register
• The operation works correctly if the module value Sample Weight for calibration goes to zero.
See Table 3-15 on page 50 for a list of PROFIBUS commands.
NOTE: Changing some instrument parameters via keyboard can take the PROFIBUS network out of the data exchange
status and put the PLC in stop status; when programming the instrument the plant must be in stand-by status.

NOTE: Modbus-TCP commands and registers are the same as Modbus-RTU protocol. For more information, see
3.12 Modbus-RTU Protocol

The MODBUS-RTU protocol enables management of the reading and writing of the registers, listed in this section, according to
the specifications contained in the reference document for this standard Modicon PI-MBUS-300.
To select the communication with MODBUS-RTU, see Section 2.5 on page 30.
When specifically indicated, certain data will be written directly to EEPROM type memories. This memory has a limited number
of writing operations (100.000); therefore, unnecessary operations at said locations must be avoided. The instrument ensures
that no writing occurs if the value to be stored is equal to the stored value.
The numerical data listed below are expressed in decimal notation, or hexadecimal notation if preceded by 0x.
Modbus-RTU Data Format
The data received and transmitted via MODBUS-RTU protocol have the following characteristics:
• 1 start bit
• 8 data bits, least significant bit sent first
• Instrument settable parity bit
• Instrument settable stop bit

Operation
Modbus Supported Functions

Among the commands available in MODBUS-RTU protocol, only the commands in Table 3-27 are used to manage communication
with the instruments. Other commands may not be interpreted correctly and could generate errors or system shut-downs:
Function Description
03 (0x03) Read Holding Register (Programmable Register Reading)
16 (0x10) Preset Multiple Registers (Multiple Register Writing)
Table 3-27. Modbus-RTU Supported Functions
The interrogation frequency is linked with the preset communication rate (the SCT20-MB will stand by for at least 3 bytes before
beginning to calculate a possible response to the query). The  ?parameter (Section 2.5 on page 30) allows for a further
delay in the instrument response, and this directly influences the number of possible queries in the unit of time.
For additional information on this protocol, refer to the general technical specification PI_MBUS_300. In general, the query and
response to and from a source instrument are organized as follows.

Communication Error Management

The communication strings are controlled by CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check).
In the event of a communication error, the source will not respond with any string. The primary must allow for a time-out before
response reception. If no response is received, it infers that a communication error has occurred.
In the event of a string received correctly but not executable, the source responds with an Exceptional Response. The function
field is transmitted with the msb at 1.

IMPORTANT: At the time of writing, the setpoints, hysteresis values are saved to the RAM and will be lost upon the next
power-off; to store them permanently to the EEPROM so that they are maintained at power-on, the ‘99’ command of the
Command Register must be sent.
Weight (Span) Calibration Commands (With Test Weights)
The SCT20-MB calibration can be changed via Modbus. To perform this procedure, the system must be unloaded and the
weight value display reset to zero with the command 100 of the Command Register. A load must then be placed on the system
and the correct weight value must be sent to the registers 40037-40038. To save this value, send the control 101 from the
Command Register. If the operation is completed successfully, the two test weight registers are set to zero.
Analog Output Setting (Analog Models Only)
Write the weight in the registers 40045 (Weight value corresponding to the Full Scale of analog output H) and 40046 (Weight
value corresponding to the Full Scale of analog output L), or write the weight in the registers 40043 (Weight value
corresponding to the ZERO of the analog output H) and 40044 (Weight value corresponding to the ZERO of the analog output
L). After writing the value, send the command 99 from the Command Register to save it to EEPROM memory.

• Correct reception: &aaxxxxxxj\ckckCR; in which xxxxxx = 6 value characters of the required weight
• If the peak is not configured: &aa#CR
NOTE: In the event of negative weight, the first character on the left acquires the value « - » (minus sign - ASCII 45).
In the event the weight value is under -99999, the minus sign (‘-‘) is sent alternated with the most significant figure.
Error messages
In the event of an instrument alarm for exceeding 110% of the full scale or nine divisions above the value of the parameter
, the instrument sends the string &aassO-Lst\ckck; in which: s = 1 separator character (32 ASCII – space-).
In the event of a faulty connection of the load cells or other alarm, the instrument sends &aassO-Fst\ckck; in which: s = 1

Table 3-43. Zeroing Command String Definition
• If the instrument is not in gross weight displaying condition, the response is: &aa#CR
Example: Weight zero setting for instrument with address 2:
For the calibration, make sure that the scale is empty and the instrument measures a corresponding mV signal.
query: $02z78(Cr) response: &02000000t\76(Cr)
For a correct weight zero setting the read value (response) must be 0 (in the string 000000).
IMPORTANT: The zero values are stored to the EEPROM memory. Please note that the number of writes allowed is limited
(about 100000). If it is necessary to reset the weight quite often, it is recommended to perform it by PC or PLC program,
keeping in mind the weight deviation respect to the zero instrument.

Operation
Weight (Span) Calibration (With Test Weights)

After having performed the Tare Weight Zero Setting, this function allows correct calibration to be done using test weights of
known value and, if necessary, any deviations of the indicated value from the known value will be corrected.
Load the test weight onto the scale using as high a percentage of the maximum quantity to be weighed as possible. Otherwise
make sure that the instrument measures a corresponding mV signal.
The PC sends the following ASCII string containing the calibration command:
$aasxxxxxxckckCR in which:
Data Definition
s calibration command (115 ASCII)
xxxxxx 6 characters for test weight value.
Table 3-44. Calibration Command String Definitions
• Correct reception: &aaxxxxxxt\ckckCR
Data Definition

SCT-20 Series
Check-Sum Calculation
The two ASCII control characters (ckck) are the representation of a hexadecimal digit in ASCII characters. The check digit is
calculated by performing the operation XOR (exclusive or) 8-bit ASCII codes of the only part of the underlined string.
The procedure to calculate the check-sum is the following:
• Consider only the string characters highlighted with underlining;
• Calculate the EXCLUSIVE OR (XOR) of the ASCII codes for the characters;
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
Table 3-46. Example Check Sum Calculation (ASCII)

The result of the XOR operation expressed in hexadecimal notation is made up of 2 hexadecimal digits (numbers
from 0 to 9 or letters from A to F). In this case the hexadecimal code is 0x75.
The check-sum inserted in the strings transmitted is made up of the 2 characters which represent the result of the
XOR operation in hexadecimal notation (in this example the character 7 and the character 5.
3.14 Fast Continuous Transmission Protocol

This protocol allows for continuous serial output at high update frequencies. Up to 300 strings per second are transmitted (with
a minimum transmission rate of 38400 baud).
The communication modes available are (Section 2.5 on page 30):
• : communication compatible with TX RS-485 instruments.?
• : communication compatible with TD RS-485 instruments.?
If  is set, the following string is transmitted to PC/PLC: xxxxxxCRLF.:
String Character Definition
xxxxxx 6 ASCII characters for gross weight (48 ÷ 57 ASCII)
CR 1 character of carriage return (13 ASCII)
LF 1 character of line feed (10 ASCII)
Table 3-47.  Communication String Definitions
In the event of negative weight, the first character on the left acquires the value « - » (minus sign - ASCII 45).
In the event of error or alarm, the 6 weight characters are replaced by the messages found in Table 3-2 on page 45.
If  is set, the following string is transmitted to PC/PLC: &TzzzzzzPzzzzzz\ckckCR
Data Definition
& 1 character of string start (38 ASCII).
T reference character for gross weight.
P reference character for gross weight.
zzzzzz 6 ASCII characters for gross weight (48 ? 57 ASCII).
\ 1 character of separation (92 ASCII).
Table 3-48.  Communication String Definitions

Operation
Data Definition
ckck 2 ASCII control characters calculated considering that the characters between & and \ are excluded. The control value is
obtained by carrying out the XOR (or exclusive) operation for the 8 bit ASCII codes of the characters considered. A charac-
ter expressed in hexadecimal is thus obtained, with 2 digits which may acquire values from 0 to 9 and from A to F.
ckck is the ASCII code of the two hexadecimal digits.
CR 1 character for string end (13 ASCII).
Table 3-48.  Communication String Definitions (Continued)
In the event of error or alarm, the 6 gross weight characters are replaced by messages. See Table 3.6 on page 44.
Fast Transmission Via External Contact: A single string can be transmitted by closing a digital input, not exceeding 1 sec.
See Section 2.5 on page 30 and Section 2.11 on page 38.
3.15 Continuous Transmission Protocol

Using this protocol, the instrument transmits, in continuous mode, the weight to remote displays; the communication string is
transmitted 10 times per second. The communication modes available are (Section 2.5 on page 30):
• : remote display shows the net or gross weight, depending on the remote display setting.
• : remote display shows the net or gross weight, depending on the remote display setting.
• :
The instrument sends the following string to the remote display:
• &NxxxxxxLyyyyyy\ckckCR
Data Definition
& 1 character of string start (38 ASCII)
N 1 reference character for net weight. (78 ASCII)
xxxxxx 6 ASCII characters for net or peak weight if present (48 ÷ 57 ASCII)
L 1 reference character for gross weight (76 ASCII)
yyyyyy 6 ASCII characters for gross weight (48 ? 57 ASCII).
\ 1 character for separation (92 ASCII)
ckck 2 ASCII control characters calculated considering that the characters between & and \ are excluded. The control value is obtained
by carrying out the XOR (or exclusive) operation for the 8 bit ASCII codes of the characters considered. character expressed in
hexadecimal is thus obtained, with 2 digits which may acquire values from 0 to 9 and from A to F. ckck is the ASCII code of the
two hexadecimal digits.
CR character for string end (13 ASCII).
Table 3-49. Continuous Transmission Protocol Data Definitions
If the protocol on  has been set, the decimal point at the position shown on the instrument's display can also be
transmitted. In this case, if the value exceeds 5 digits, only the 5 most significant digits are transmitted, while if the value is
negative, no more than the 4 most significant digits are transmitted. In both cases, however, the decimal point shifts
consistently with the value to display.
If  has been set, in addition to what is stated in  protocol, the instrument transmits the prompt net every 4
seconds in the gross weight field, when the instrument is in net mode. See Section 3.1 on page 43.
In case weight value is under -99999, the minus sign (-) is sent alternated with the most significant figure.
In the event of error or alarm, the 6 characters of the gross and net weight are replaced by the messages found in Table 3.6 on
page 44.
