2.4.8 Digital I/O

The Digital I/O port, J5 connector (Section 2.5 on page 17) is intended to be connected to both digital inputs and outputs.
Digital inputs can be set to provide many functions, including most keypad functions except MENU. Digital inputs are active low
(0 VDC) and inactive high (5 VDC). Use the Digital I/O menu to configure the digital inputs.
Digital outputs are used to control relays which drive other equipment. Outputs are designed to sink, rather than source current.
Each output is an open collector circuit, capable of sinking 20 mA when active. Digital outputs are active when low or at 0 VDC,
with reference to the 5 VDC supply.
Use the Digital I/O menu to set the function of the Digital I/O pins to OUTPUT and then use the Setpoints menu to configure the
digital outputs. See Table 2-9 for the pin assignments for the J5 connector.

Installation
2.4.9 Micro USB Device Communications

The Micro USB port, J7 connector (Section 2.5 on page 17), is intended to be connected to a PC only and should only be used
as a service port. It appears as a Virtual COM Port and is assigned a “COMx” designation. Applications communicate through
the port like a standard RS-232 communications port.
The driver must be installed on the PC before the device port can be used. With the PC and 680HE powered on, connect a USB
cable from the PC to the micro USB connector (J7) on the 680HE. The PC recognizes if a device has been connected, and
attempts to install the driver needed to make it work. The driver can also be downloaded from the Rice Lake website.
NOTE: If using Windows 7 or later and the PC is connected to the Internet, the operating system may be able to install the
drivers automatically.
When the individual drivers are installed, a new COM Port designation is assigned for each physical USB port the 680HE is
connected to on the PC.
For example, if the PC has two physical RS-232 COM Ports, they most likely are designated COM1 and COM2. When
connecting the 680HE to a USB port on the PC, it is assigned the next available port designation, or in this case, COM3. When
plugging into the same physical USB port on the PC, the port designation is again COM3. If plugging into another physical USB
port on the PC, it is assigned the next available designation, in this case COM4.
After the drivers are installed, use Windows® Device Manager to determine the COM Port designation which was assigned to
the USB port, or open the application to be used with the 680HE, such as Revolution, to see which ports are available.
Configuration of the Micro USB port is done in the USBCOM sub-menu under PORTS in setup mode.
The port can be configured as either a demand port for EDP commands and printing, or as a data streaming port. Other settings
include the termination character(s), echoes, responses, the end-of-line delay and whether or not the 680HE displays a 'print'
message when a print format sends data out the port.
NOTE: If a computer application has an open communications connection through the Micro USB device port and the
physical cable connection is interrupted, a soft reset must be performed on the 680HE or the power must be cycled to the
680HE; the connection in the computer application must be disconnected and then reconnected before it continues to
communicate with the 680HE.
NOTE: For the Micro USB device port, it does not matter what the settings are for Baud, Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bits in
the computer software. The port communicates in the same way regardless of these settings.
This port is not a host port and is not intended to be connected to other devices such as keyboards, memory sticks or
printers.

2.4.10 Ethernet
The 680HE features Ethernet TCP/IP 10Base-T/100Base-TX communication using the J8 connector (Section 2.5 on page 17),
and can support two simultaneous connections, one as a server, the other as a client.
Through an Ethernet network, software applications can communicate with the 680HE using the EDP command set
(Section 7.0 on page 50), or data can be streamed continuously from the 680HE, or printed on demand.
The Ethernet port supports both DHCP and manual configuration of settings such as the IP and netmask. In addition, the TCP
Port number, and the Default Gateway can be configured using the Ethernet sub-menu of the Ports setup menu. For more
information on configuring the Ethernet port see Section 4.4.4.3 on page 35.
Physical connection to the 680HE Ethernet port can be made directly from a PC to the 680HE (AdHoc Network), or through a
network router or switch. The port supports auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cable configuration, allowing either straight-through or
crossover cables to be used. See Table 2-10 for the pin assignments for the J8 connector.

See Table 2-11 and Table 2-12 for the pin assignments when connecting a RJ45 Ethernet cable to the J8 connector. There
are two Ethernet wire standards (T568A and T568B). If the type of cable is unknown, use the wiring option in Table 2-11.
The auto-sensing feature of the Ethernet port allows either of the wiring options to work. Trim the unused wires to get them
out of the way.

2.5.1 Load Cell Compensation Jumper

The load cell compensation jumper, J29 (Figure 2-8), must be set ON for load cells with balanced bridges and set to OFF for
load cells with unbalanced bridges. When OFF, the compensation jumper has the effect of lowering the excitation voltage.
Uncompensated unbalanced load cells can cause instability or calibration errors.
Use the following procedure to determine the correct jumper position if the load cell type is unknown.
1. Disconnect load cell from indicator and use an ohmmeter to measure the following:
• +EXC to +SIG, +EXC to –SIG
• –EXC to +SIG, –EXC to –SIG
NOTE: Measured values between the excitation line and each of the signal lines should be within 2–3 Ω.
2. If the +EXC measurements are ≥ 5% larger than the –EXC measurements, set the compensation jumper in the OFF
position to compensate for the unbalanced load cell.
If the +EXC measurements are < 5% greater (or are less) than the –EXC measurements, set the jumper in the ON position for
the balanced load cell.

2.6 Sealing the Indicator (Optional)

Use a lead wire seal to restrict access of the setup and audit jumpers, electronics, electrical contacts and Legal for Trade
configuration parameters of the 680HE.
NOTE: The audit jumper (J24) must be set to OFF to restrict access to the configuration parameters.
Latch Wire Seal Clevis Pin
Figure 2-9. Sealing the Indicator – No Access

1. Insert the two provided clevis pins (PN 200864) through the front door latches of the 680HE, as shown in Figure 2-9.
2. Navigate the sealing wire through each hole at the ends of the two clevis pins.
3. Seal the wire to secure.
NOTE: Two sealing wires are used in Figure 2-9 due to the length of the sealing wires.

scale standstill; When weight is within the zero band, the center of zero annunciator displays; Max legal value depends on local
regulations; Specify the zero tracking band in ± display divisions; Enter value: 0.0–100.0, 0.0 (default)
Zrange Zero Range – The total amount the scale can be zeroed; Zero range represents a percentage of capacity; The default value of
1.9 represents ±1.9% around the calibrated zero point, for a total range of 3.8%; A value of 0.0 prevents zeroing; Maximum legal
value depends on local regulations; Enter value: 0.0–100.0, 1.9 (default)
Intzro Initial Zero Range – When the indicator is turned on and the weight value is between the ± percent range specified in Calibrated
Zero, the indicator automatically zeros off the weight; Enter value: 0.0–100.0, 0.0 (default)
Motban Motion Band – Sets the level, in display divisions, at which scale motion is detected; If motion is not detected for the time defined
by ss time, the standstill symbol lights; Some operations, including print, tare, and zero, require the scale to be at standstill;
Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations; If this parameter is set to 0, the standstill annunciator is always lit
and operations requiring standstill are performed regardless of scale motion; If 0 is selected, ztrkbnd must also be set to 0;

ADPONL – Adaptive Filter (Section 11.7.2 on page 75); Uses ADSENS and ADTHRH
DMPONL – Damping Filter (Section 11.7.3 on page 76); Uses DMPVL
RAW – No filtering
digfl1-3 Digital Filters – Sets the digital filtering rate used to reduce the effects of environmental influences from the immediate area of
the scale; Settings indicate the number of A/D conversions per update which are averaged to obtain the displayed reading; a
higher number gives a more accurate display by minimizing the effect of a few noisy readings, but slows down the response time
of the indicator; Settings: 1, 2, 4 (default), 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
Dfsens Digital Filter Sensitivity – Specifies the number of consecutive A/D readings which fall outside the Filter Threshold before filtering
is suspended; Settings: 2OUT (default), 4OUT, 8OUT, 16OUT, 32OUT, 64OUT, 128OUT
Dfthrh Digital Filter Threshold – Sets a threshold value, in display divisions; when a number of consecutive A/D readings (Digital Filter
Sensitivity) falls outside of this threshold value (when compared to the output of the filter), filtering is suspended and the A/D
value is sent straight through the filter; Filtering is not suspended if the threshold is set to NONE; Settings: NONE (default), 2D,
5D, 10D, 20D, 50D, 100D, 200D, 250D
Adsens Adaptive Filter Sensitivity – Controls the stability and response time of the scale; Settings:
LIGHT (default) – Fastest response to small weight changes, but less stable
MEDIUM – Has a quicker response time than heavy, but more stable than light
HEAVY – Results in an output which is more stable but settles slowly; small changes in weight data (a few grads) on the
scale base are not seen quickly
Adthrh Adaptive Filter Threshold – Sets the adaptive filter weight threshold value (in display divisions); a weight change exceeding the
threshold resets the filtered values; must be set above the noise disturbances in the system (if set to zero, the filter is disabled);
Enter value: 0–2000, 10 (default)

5.0 Calibration
The 680HE can be calibrated using the front panel and EDP commands. The following sections describe the procedures
required for both of these calibration methods.
NOTE: The 680HE requires a WZERO and WSPAN points to be calibrated. The linear calibration points are optional; they
must fall between zero and span, but must not duplicate zero or span.

Calibration
5.1.2 Linear Calibration

Linear calibration points provide increased scale accuracy by calibrating the indicator at up to four additional points between the
zero and span calibrations.
1. Complete steps 1–13 in Section 5.1.1 on page 46. Press . wlin displays.
2. Press . point1 displays.
3. Press . wlinv1 displays.
4. Press . The current test weight value for point 1 displays.

11. Press . Point2 displays.

12. Repeat previous steps for points 2-4, if necessary.
NOTE: The linear calibration for a point is saved once point is calibrated.
5.2 Alternative Zero Calibrations

During a calibration, the zero value (wzero) can be replaced with a temporary zero (tmpzro) or last zero (lstzro). A rezero
(rezero) can be done after calibration. See below for information on these alternative zeros.
5.2.1 Last Zero
This takes the last push-button zero in the system (from weigh mode) and uses it as the new zero reference point, after which a
new span calibration must be performed. This calibration cannot be performed when calibrating a scale for the first time.
A last zero calibration is typically used on truck scales to allow a scale verification to become a calibration without having to
remove the test weights.
5.2.2 Temporary Zero
A temporary zero calibration temporarily zeros the displayed weight of a non-empty scale. After span calibration, the difference
between the temporary zero and the previously calibrated zero value is used as an offset.
A temporary zero calibration is typically used on hopper scales to calibrate the span without losing the original zero calibration.
5.2.3 Rezero
A rezero calibration is needed to remove a calibration offset when hooks or chains are required to suspend the test weights.
Once a span calibration is complete, remove the hooks or chains and the test weights from the scale. With all the weight
removed, a rezero calibration is used to adjust the zero and span calibration values.

5.3 EDP Command Calibration

Use the following instructions to calibrate the 680HE using EDP commands. For information on the EDP commands of the
680HE, see Section 7.0 on page 50.
NOTE: The indicator must respond with OK after each step or the calibration procedure must be done again.
1. Place indicator into setup mode via the setup jumper (Section 4.1 on page 27).
2. For a standard calibration, remove all weight from scale (except hooks or chains which are needed to attach weights).
3. Send the command SC.WZERO#1 to perform a standard calibration of the zero point.
• Send SC.TEMPZERO#1 to perform a temporary zero calibration
• Send SC.LASTZERO#1 to perform a last zero calibration
4. Apply the span calibration weight to the scale.
5. Send the command SC.WVAL#1=xxxxx, where xxxxx is the exact value of the span calibration weight applied to the
scale.
6. Send the command SC.WSPAN#1 to calibrate the span point. Continue on to step 7 to calibrate additional
linearization points, or proceed to step 11.
7. Apply weight equal to the first linearization point to the scale.
8. Send the command SC.WLINVn#1=xxxxx, where n is the linearization point number (1-4) and xxxxx is the exact
value of the weight applied.
9. Send the command SC.WLIN.Cn#1 to calibrate the linearization point.
10. Repeat steps 7–9 for up to four total linearization points.
11. If hooks or chains were used to attach the weights, remove all weight, including the hooks and chains, and send the
command SC.REZERO#1 to remove the zero offset.
12. Send the command KSAVEEXIT to return to weigh mode.

Revolution
6.0 Revolution
The Revolution utility provides a suite of functions used to support configuration, calibration, customization and backup of the
680HE configuration.
Calibration values and scale configuration can both be saved and restored to the 680HE using Revolution.
NOTE: For system requirements visit the Revolution product page on Rice Lake Weighing Systems website.
6.1 Connecting to the Indicator

Connect the PC serial port to com 1 of the 680HE, then click Connect in the toolbar. Revolution attempts to establish
communications to the indicator. If communications settings need to be adjusted, select Options… from the Tools menu.
Downloading to the Indicator
The Send Configuration to Device function in the Revolution Communications menu allows a Revolution configuration file
(with or without scale calibration data) or ticket formats to be downloaded to a connected indicator in setup mode.
The Send Section to Device function on the Communications menu allows the download of only the currently displayed object,
such as a scale configuration.
Because less data is transferred using the Send Section to Device, it is typically faster than a full configuration download, but
there is an increased possibility the download fails due to dependencies on other objects. If the download fails, try performing a
complete download using the Send Configuration to Device function.
Uploading Configuration to Revolution
The Get Configuration from Device function in the Revolution Communications menu allows the existing configuration of a
connected indicator to be saved to a file on the PC. Once saved, the configuration file provides a backup which can be quickly
restored to the indicator if needed. Alternatively, the file can be edited within Revolution and downloaded back to the indicator.
6.2 Saving and Transferring Data

NOTE: Revolution has a module to save and transfer data. It is the preferred method over using ProComm or Hyper
Terminal.
6.2.1 Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer
Configuration data can be saved to a computer connected to the selected port. The PC must be running a communications
program such as PROCOMMPLUS®.
When configuring the indicator, ensure the values set for the baud and bits parameters on the serial menu match the baud rate,
bits and parity settings configured for the serial port on the PC.
To save all configuration data, first put the communications program into data capture mode, then place the indicator in setup
mode and send the DUMPALL command to the indicator. The 680HE responds by sending all configuration parameters to the
PC as ASCII-formatted text.
6.2.2 Downloading Configuration Data from PC to Indicator
Configuration data saved on a PC or disc can be downloaded from the PC to an indicator. This procedure is useful when a
number of indicators with similar configurations are set up or when an indicator is replaced.
To download configuration data, connect the PC to the selected port as described in Section 6.2.1. Place the indicator in setup
mode and use the PC communications software to send the saved configuration data to the indicator. When transfer is
complete, calibrate the indicator as described in Section 5.0 on page 46.
6.3 Updating Firmware

Revolution is used to update the firmware of the 680HE indicator. The link to begin this process is available on the Revolution
home screen. Updating the firmware defaults configuration settings.

7.0 EDP Commands

The 680HE indicator can be controlled by a personal computer connected to one of the indicator communication ports. Control
is provided by a set of commands which can simulate front panel key press functions, return and change setup parameters, and
perform reporting functions. The commands provide the capability to print configuration data or to save data to an attached
personal computer. This section describes the EDP command set and procedures for saving and transferring data using the
communication ports. The EDP command set is divided into several groups.
When the indicator processes a command, it either responds with a value (for reporting commands, or when querying
parameter settings), or with the message OK. The OK response verifies the command was received and has been executed. If
the command is unrecognized, the indicator responds with ?? invalid command. If the command cannot be executed in the
current mode, the indicator responds with ?? invalid mode. If the command is recognized, but the value is out of range or the
invalid type, the indicator responds with ?? followed by the type and the range.
7.1 Key Press Commands

Key press serial commands simulate pressing keys on the front panel of the indicator. These commands can be used in both
setup and weigh mode. Several of the commands serve as pseudo keys, providing functions which are not represented by a
key on the front panel.
For example, to enter a 15 lb tare weight using serial commands:
1. Type K1 and press Enter (or Return).
2. Type K5 and press Enter.
3. Type KTARE and press Enter.

Command Function
RESETCONFIGURATION Restores all configuration parameters to default values (setup mode only)
Table 7-3. Reset Configuration Command
NOTE: All scale calibration settings are lost when the RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.

7.4 Parameter Setting Commands

Parameter setting commands allow the current value for a configuration parameter to be displayed or changed.
Current configuration parameter settings can be displayed in setup mode or weigh mode using the following syntax:
command<ENTER>
Most parameter values can be changed in setup mode only; setpoint parameters listed in Table 7-10 on page 56 can be
changed when in normal weigh mode.
NOTE: The user must stop the current batch for new values to take effect.
Use the following command syntax when changing parameter values: command=value<ENTER>, where value is either a
number or a parameter value. Use no spaces before or after the equal (=) sign. If an incorrect command is typed or an invalid
value is specified, the indicator returns ?? followed by the error message.
Example: to set the motion band parameter on Scale #1 to 5 divisions, type the following:
SC.MOTBAND#1=5<ENTER>
To return a list of the available values for parameters with specific values, enter the command and equal sign, followed by a
questions mark (command=?<ENTER>). The indicator must be in setup mode to use this function.
After changes are made to configuration parameters using EDP commands, use the KSAVE or KSAVEEXIT commands to
commit the changes to memory.

7.15 Batching Control Commands

The commands listed in Table 7-15 provide batching control through a communications port.
BATSTART Batch Start If the BATRUN digital input is active or not assigned, the BATSTART command can be used to
start the batch program
BATSTOP Batch Stop Stops an active batch and turns off all associated digital outputs; Requires a Batch Start to
resume processing
BATPAUSE Batch Pause Pauses an active batch and turns off all digital outputs except those associated with Concurrent
and Timer setpoints; processing is suspended until the indicator receives a Batch Start signal;
pressing the BATSTR digital input, BATSTART serial command, Batch Start softkey resumes the
batch and re-energizes all digital outputs turned off by the Batch Pause
BATRESET Batch Reset Stops the program and resets the batch program to the first batch step; use the BATRESET
command after making changes to the batch configuration
BATSTATUS Batch Status Returns XYYY where X is S (if the batch is stopped), P (if the batch is paused),
R (if the batch is running); and YYY is the setpoint number the batch is currently on (1-8)
Table 7-15. Batching Control Commands

8.0 Print Formatting

The 680HE provides multiple print formats, GFMT, NFMT, ACMFMT, SPTFMT and HDRFMT, which determine the format of the
printed output when the Print key is pressed. If a tare has been entered or acquired, NFMT is used; otherwise, GFMT is used.
Each print format can be customized to include up to 1000 characters of information, such as company name and address, on
printed tickets. Use the print format menu through front panel of the indicator to customize the print formats.
NOTE: Press the down arrow to view the ASCII character decimal value on the second menu level.
See Section 11.9 on page 77 to view the ASCII character chart.
8.1 Print Formatting Tokens

Table 8-1 lists tokens which can be used to configure the print formats. Tokens included in the format strings must be enclosed
between < and > delimiters. Characters outside of the delimiters are printed as text on the ticket. Text characters can include
ASCII characters which can be printed by the output device.
Token Description Supported Ticket Formats

General Weight Data Tokens
<Gx> Gross weight, current scale GFMT, NFMT, ACMFMT, STPFMT
<Gx#n> Gross weight, scale n
<Nx> Net weight, current scale
<Nx#n> Net weight, scale n
<Tx> Tare weight, current scale
<Tx#n> Tare weight, scale n
<S> Current scale number
NOTE: For tokens with #n, n is the scale number (1). For tokens with an x, x is the character width of the weight field with padded spaces on
the left. If x is not specified, 10 is the assumed default for the weight field. x can be set using one or two digits and sets the minimum number
of characters in the weight field, but expands to show all characters for a value that has more characters than the minimum value set with x.
Example: To format a ticket to provide gross weight for Scale 1 with a minimum of 6 print characters, use the following token: <G6#1>
NOTE: Gross, net and tare weights can be printed in any configured weight unit by adding modifiers to the gross, net, and tare weight tokens:
/P (primary units), /D (displayed units), /S (secondary units). If not specified, the currently displayed unit (/D) is assumed.
Example: To format a ticket to provide net weight in secondary units, use the following token: <N/S>
NOTE: Formatted weight strings default to contain a 10-digit weight field (including sign and decimal point), followed by a space and a 2-digit
unit identifier. Total field length with unit identifier is 13 characters. For tokens with an x, total field length with unit identifier is x + 3.
Accumulator Tokens
<A> Accumulated weight, current scale; Prints to 15 digits GFMT, NFMT, ACMFMT
<A#n> Accumulated weight, scale n
<AA> Average accumulation, current scale
<AA#n> Average accumulation, scale n
<AC> Number of accumulations, current scale
<AC#n> Number of accumulations, scale n
<AT> Time of last accumulation, current scale
<AT#n> Time of last accumulation, scale n
<AD> Date of last accumulation, current scale
<AD#n> Date of last accumulation, scale n
NOTE: For tokens with #n, n is the scale number (1).

Table 8-1. Print Format Tokens (Continued)

Table 8-2 lists the default 680HE print formats:

Format Default Format String When Used
GFMT GROSS<G><NL2><TD><NL> Weigh mode – no tare in system
NFMT GROSS<G><NL>TARE<SP><T><NL>NET<SP2><N> Weigh mode – tare in system

Table 8-2. Default Print Formats
NOTE: The 1000 character limit of each print format string includes the output field length of the print formatting tokens,
not the token length. For example, if the indicator is configured to display a decimal point, the <G> token generates an
output field of 13 characters: the 10 character weight value (including decimal point), one space, and a two-digit units
identifier. For tokens with an x (e.g. <Gx> or <Gx#n>), total field length with unit identifier is x + 3.
NOTE: PT (preset tare) is added to the tare weight if tare was keyed in.
8.2 Customizing Print Formats

The GFMT, NFMT, ACMFMT, SPTFMT and HDRFMT formats can be customized using the print format menu (PForMT) via
the front panel. See Section 4.4.6 on page 39 for the print format menu structure. To access the print format menu the indicator
must be in setup mode (Section 4.1 on page 27).
8.2.1 Using the Front Panel
Use the print format menu to customize the print formats and to edit the print format strings by changing the ASCII characters in
the format string. See Section 3.3.2 on page 22 for the alphanumeric entry procedure to edit the print format string.
NOTE: Some characters cannot be displayed on the 680HE front panel, see the ASCII character chart in Section 11.9 on
page 77 for available characters. The 680HE can send or receive ASCII characters; the character printed depends on the
particular ASCII character set implemented for the receiving device.
8.3 Non-Human Readable Characters

ASCII characters 0 through 31 are non-human readable characters. Since these characters are not visible, they do not appear as selectable
options in a 680HE print format. To include a special character in a print format, the decimal equivalent needs to be used. For example, the
special character Esc would be <27> or 60, 50, 55, 62 (less the commas).

Setpoints
9.0 Setpoints
The 680HE indicator provides eight configurable setpoints for control of both indicator and external equipment functions.
Setpoints can be configured to perform actions or functions based on specified parameter conditions. Parameters associated
with various setpoint kinds can, for example, be configured to perform functions (print, tare, accumulate), to change the state of
a digital output controlling indicator or external equipment functions, or to make conditional decisions.
NOTE: Weight-based setpoints are tripped by values specified in primary units only.
9.1 Batch and Continuous Setpoints

680HE setpoints can be either continuous or batch.
Continuous setpoints are free-running; the indicator constantly monitors the condition of free-running setpoints at each A/D
update. The specified setpoint action or function is performed when the designated setpoint parameter conditions are met. A
digital output or function assigned to a free-running setpoint continuously changes state, becoming active or inactive, as
defined by the setpoint parameters.
Batch setpoints (BATCH = ON) which have digital outputs associated to them remain active until the setpoint condition is met.
The setpoint is then latched for the remainder of the batch sequence.
To use batch setpoints, set the batching (BATCHG) parameter on the setpoints (SETPTS) menu. This parameter defines
whether a batch sequence is automatic or manual. AUTO sequences repeat continuously after receiving a single batch start
signal, while MANUAL sequences only run through once for each Batch Start signal. The batch start signal can be initiated by a
digital input (set to BATSTR), or an EDP command (BATSTART).
For a setpoint to be used as part of a batch sequence, its batch sequence (BATCH) parameter must be set to ON. If a setpoint
is defined and enabled, but its Batch Sequence parameter is set to OFF, the setpoint operates as a continuous setpoint even
during batch sequences.
NOTE: In applications which contain both batch setpoint routines and continuous setpoints, it is good practice to keep
continuous setpoints separate from the batch sequence.
Do not assign them the same digital output.
Set the ACCESS parameter ON when creating and testing batch routines. Once the batching routine is complete and ready
for production, ACCESS can be set to OFF to prevent changes to the configured setpoint value, or to HIDE to prevent
changing or viewing the value.
Parameter Description Batch Continuous

OFF Off – Setpoint turned off/ignored
GROSS Gross Weight – Performs functions based on the gross weight; the target weight entered is X X
considered a positive gross weight
NET Net Weight – Performs functions based on the net weight; the target weight entered is X X
considered a positive net weight value
-GROSS Negative Gross Weight – Performs functions based on the gross weight; the target weight X X
entered is considered a negative gross weight
-NET Negative Net Weight – Performs functions based on the net weight; the target weight entered is X X
considered a negative net weight value
ACCUM Accumulate – Compares the value of the setpoint to the source scale accumulator; the X X
accumulator setpoint is satisfied when the value of the source scale accumulator meets the
value and conditions of the accumulator setpoint
POSREL Positive Relative – Performs functions based on a specified value above a referenced setpoint, X X
using the same weight mode as the referenced setpoint
NEGREL Negative Relative – Performs functions based on a specified value below a referenced setpoint, X X
using the same weight mode as the referenced setpoint
Table 9-1. Setpoint Kinds

Parameter Description Batch Continuous

PCTREL Percent Relative – Performs functions based on a specified percentage of the target value of a X X
referenced setpoint, using the same weight mode as the referenced setpoint; the actual target
value of the Percent Relative setpoint is calculated as a percentage of the target value of the
referenced setpoint
PAUSE Pause – Pauses the batch sequence indefinitely; a Batch Start signal must be initiated to X
continue the batch process
DELAY Delay – Delays the batch sequence for a specified time; the length of the delay (in tenths of a X
second) is specified on the Value parameter
WAITSS Wait Standstill – Suspends the batch sequence until the scale is at standstill X
COUNTR Counter – Specifies the number of consecutive batch sequences to perform; place counter X
setpoints at the beginning of a batch routine
AUTOJG Auto-Jog – Automatically checks the previous weight-based setpoint to verify the setpoint weight X
value is satisfied in a standstill condition
• If the previous setpoint is not satisfied when at standstill, the AUTOJG setpoint activates
the digital output of the previous weight-based setpoint for a period of time, specified on
the Value parameter (in tenths of a second)
• The AUTOJG process repeats until the previous weight-based setpoint is satisfied when
the scale is at standstill
NOTE: The AUTOJG digital output is typically used to signify an AUTOJG operation is
being performed.
NOTE: AUTOJG uses the digital output of the previous weight-based setpoint, and should
not be assigned to the same digital output as the related weight-based setpoint.
COZ Center of Zero – Monitors for a gross center of zero condition X
• The digital output associated with this setpoint kind is activated when the referenced scale
is at center of zero
• No value is required for this setpoint
INMOTN In-Motion – Monitors for an in-motion condition X
• The digital output associated with this setpoint is activated when scale is not at standstill
INRNGE In-Range – Monitors for an in-range condition X
• The digital output associated with this setpoint is activated when the scale is within
capacity range
TIMER Timer – Tracks the progress of a batch sequence based on a timer X
• The timer value, in tenths of a second, determines the length of time allowed between start
and end setpoints
• Start and End parameters are used to specify the start and end setpoints
• If the End setpoint is not reached before the timer expires, the digital output associated
with this setpoint is activated
CONCUR Concurrent – Allows a digital output to remain active over a specified portion of the batch X
sequence
• Type 1 (VALUE=0): The digital output associated with this setpoint becomes active when
the Start setpoint becomes the current batch step and remains active until the End setpoint
becomes the current batch step
• Type 2 (VALUE > 0): If a non-zero value is specified for the Value parameter, the value
represents the timer, in tenths of a second, for this setpoint; The digital output associated
with this setpoint becomes active when the Start setpoint becomes the current batch step
and remains active until the timer expires
TOD Time of Day – Performs functions when the internal clock time of the indicator matches the X X
specified setpoint time
ALWAYS Always – This setpoint is always satisfied; It is typically used to provide an endpoint for true/false X
branching batch routines
NEVER Never – This setpoint is never satisfied X
• Used to branch to a designated setpoint in true/false branching batch routines in which the
batch does not continue through the normal sequence of batch setpoints

Setpoints
9.2 Batching Examples

9.2.1 Example 1
The following example uses seven setpoints to dispense material from a hopper in 100 lb batches and to automatically refill the
hopper when its weight drops below 300 lb.
Bits 1 and 2 in the Digital I/O menu (Section 4.4.9 on page 44) are assigned to batch start and batch run functions: BATRUN
must be on (low) before the BATSTRT input starts the batch.
SLOT 0, BIT 1=BATSTRT
SLOT 0, BIT 2=BATRUN
BATCHNG=MANUAL
Setpoint 1 ensures the hopper has enough material to start the batch. If the hopper weight is 300 lb or higher, setpoint 1 is
tripped.
SETPT 1 TRIP=HIGHER
KIND=GROSS ALARM=ON
VALUE=300 BATCH=ON
Setpoint 2 waits for standstill, then performs a tare to put the indicator into net mode.
SETPT 2
KIND=WAITSS
PSHTARE=ON
Setpoint 3 is used as a reference (relative setpoint) for setpoint 4.

SETPT 3 TRIP=HIGHER
KIND=NET BATCH=OFF
VALUE=0
Setpoint 4 is used to dispense material from the hopper. When the hopper weight falls to 100 lb less than its weight at the
relative setpoint (setpoint 3), digital output 1 is set off.
SETPT 4 DIG OUT=1
KIND=NEGREL BATCH=ON
VALUE=100 RELNUM=3
TRIP=LOWER
Setpoint 5 is used to evaluate the gross amount of material in the hopper after dispensing, and to maintain a minimum material
level in the hopper. When the hopper weight falls below 300 lb, digital output 2 becomes active and the hopper is refilled to
1000 lb.
SETPT 5 HYSTERS=700
KIND=GROSS DIG OUT=2
VALUE=300 BATCH=ON
TRIP=HIGHER
Setpoint 6 is used to ensure the operation performed in setpoint 4 is completed within 10 seconds. The START and END
parameters identify the setpoints monitored by the timer. If the timer expires before setpoint 5 starts, digital output 4 is turned on
as an alarm to signal a process fault.
SETPT 6 START=4
KIND=TIMER END=5
VALUE=100 DIG OUT=4

9.2.2 Example 2
The following example uses six setpoints to control a two-speed fill operation where both fast and slow feeds are on
simultaneously.
Bits 1 and 2 in the Digital I/O menu (Section 4.4.9 on page 44) are assigned to batch start and batch run functions: BATRUN
must be on (low) before the BATSTRT input starts the batch.
SLOT 0, BIT 1=BATSTRT
SLOT 0, BIT 2=BATRUN
BATCHNG=MANUAL
Setpoint 1 ensures the scale is empty (0±2 lb).

SETPT 1 TRIP=INBAND
KIND=GROSS BANDVAL=2
VALUE=0 BATCH=ON
Setpoint 2 checks for the weight of a container (>5 lb) placed on the scale.
SETPT 2 TRIP=HIGHER
KIND=GROSS BATCH=ON
VALUE=5
Setpoint 3 waits for standstill, then tares the container weight, placing the indicator in net mode.
SETPT 3
KIND=WAITSS
PSHTARE=ON
Setpoint 4 starts the fast fill operation. When the net weight reaches 175 lb, the setpoint trips and digital output 1 is set off.
SETPT 4 TRIP=HIGHER
KIND=NET DIG OUT=1
VALUE=175 BATCH=ON
Setpoint 5 controls the slow fill operation. When the net weight reaches 200 lb, the slow fill is stopped, the indicator waits for
standstill and performs a push print operation using the SPFMT ticket format.
SETPT 5 PSHPRNT=WAITSS
KIND=NET DIG OUT=2
VALUE=200 BATCH=ON
TRIP=HIGHER
Setpoint 6 is a continuous setpoint, used to allow the slow feed output to be on at the same time as the fast fill. The slow fill
output (digital output 2) is turned on when setpoint 4 (fast fill) starts and remains on until setpoint 5 begins.
SETPT 6 START=4
KIND=CONCUR END=5
VALUE=0 DIG OUT=2

Maintenance
10.0 Maintenance
The maintenance information in this manual is designed to cover aspects of maintaining and troubleshooting the 680HE
indicator. Contact the local Rice Lake Weighing Systems dealer if a problem requires technical assistance.
NOTE: Have the scale model number and serial number available when calling for assistance.
10.1 Maintenance Checkpoints

The scale must be checked frequently to determine when a calibration is required. It is recommended a zero calibration be
checked every other day and a calibration checked every week for several months after installation. Observe the results and
change the period between calibration checks, depending upon the accuracy desired.
NOTE: Establish a routine inspection procedure. Report changes in the scale function to the individual or department
responsible for the scales’ performance.
10.2 Field Wiring

If a problem with the wiring is suspected, check the electrical portion of the scale.
• Check for proper interconnections between the components of the system
• Check wiring meets all specifications in the installation drawings
• Check all wiring and connections for continuity, shorts and grounds using an ohmmeter with the scale off
• Check for loose connections, poor solder joints, shorted or broken wires and unspecified grounds in wiring; these issues
cause erratic readings and shifts in weight readings
• Check all cable shields to ensure grounding is made at only the locations specified in the installation drawings

11.5 Audit Trail Support

Audit trail support provides tracking information for configuration and calibration events. To prevent potential misuse, all
configuration and calibration changes are counted as change events.
Audit trail information can be printed from Revolution or by sending the DUMPAUDIT serial reporting command. Revolution can
be used to display audit trail information. The audit trail display includes the legally relevant (LR) version number (firmware
version for the code which provides audit trail information), a calibration count and a configuration count.
NOTE: The calibration and configuration counters are only incremented when Audit Trail is enabled.
See Section 3.4.10 on page 24 for steps to view the Audit Trail counters.
11.6 Conversion Factors for Secondary Units

The 680HE has the capability to mathematically convert a weight into many different types of units and instantly display those
results with a press of the Units key.
Secondary units can be specified on the Format menu using the SECNDR parameter.
NOTE: Multipliers are preconfigured within the indicator.
Ensure the secondary decimal point position is set appropriately for the scale capacity in the secondary units.
11.7 Digital Filtering

Digital filtering is used to create a stable scale reading in challenging environments. The 680HE allows selection of Digital
Rolling Average Filtering (Section 11.7.1), Adaptive Filtering (Section 11.7.2 on page 75), Damping (Section 11.7.3 on
page 76) or None (RAW) for no filtering. See Section 4.4.1 on page 29 for configuration menu layout and the location of FLTCHN
parameter.
The scale’s sample rate effects all types of filtering. The A/D sample rate is selected by the SMPRAT scale parameter. The A/D
sample rate is the number of weight readings the indicator takes per second (SMPRAT). This can be 6.25, 7.5, 12.5, 15, 25, 30,
50, 60 or 120 hertz (readings per second). Set the A/D sample rate to the lowest setting required for the application. Lower
settings result in better stability.
11.7.1 Digital Rolling Average Filter (AVGONL)
The digital rolling average filter uses mathematical averaging with three stages. These configurable stages control the effect of
a single A/D reading on the displayed weight. When an A/D reading outside of a predetermined band is encountered, the digital
rolling average filter is overridden and the display jumps directly to the new value.
Digital Filter Stages (DIGFL1-3)
The filter stages can each be set to a value of 1–256. The value assigned to each stage sets the number of readings received
from the preceding filter stage before averaging. Setting the filter stages to 1 effectively disables the rolling filter.
A rolling average is passed to successive filtering stages for an overall filtering effect which is effectively a weighted average of
the product of the values assigned to the filter stages (DIGFL1 x DIGFL2 x DIGFL3) within a time frame corresponding to the
sum of the values (DIGFL1 + DIGFL2 + DIGFL3).
Digital Filter Sensitivity (DFSENS) and Threshold (DFTHRH)
The rolling averaging filter can be used by itself to eliminate vibration effects, but heavy filtering also increases settling time.
The DFSENS and DFTHRH parameters can be used to temporarily override filter averaging and improve settling time.
• DFSENS specifies the number of consecutive A/D readings which must fall outside the filter threshold (DFTHRH) before
filtering is suspended
• DFTHRH sets a threshold value, in display divisions; When the specified number of consecutive A/D readings
(DFSENS) fall outside of this threshold, filtering is suspended; Set DFTHRH to NONE to turn off the filter override

Appendix
Digital Rolling Average Filter Procedure

1. In setup mode, set the rolling filter stage parameters (DIGFL1-3) to 1.
2. Set DFTHRH to NONE.
3. Return to weigh mode.
4. Remove all weight from scale, then watch the indicator to determine the magnitude of vibration effects on the scale.
5. Record weight below which all but a few readings fall. This value is used to calculate the DFTHRH parameter in step 8.
Example – if a heavy-capacity scale (10000 x 5 lb) produces vibration-related readings of up to 50 lb, with occasional
spikes up to 75 lb, record 50 as the threshold weight value.
6. Place the indicator in setup mode and set the filter stage parameters (DIGFL1-3) to eliminate the vibration effects on
the scale (leave DFTHRH set to NONE).
7. Find the lowest effect value for the DIGFL1-3 parameters.
If needed, the digital filter cutout sensitivity (DFSENS) and the digital filter cutout threshold (DFTHRH) can be used to reset the
digital rolling average filter so the response to a rate change is faster.
8. Calculate the DFTHRH parameter value by converting the weight value recorded in step 5 to display divisions
(Threshold_Weight_Value / Display_Divisions).
In the example in step 5, with a threshold value of 50, and a display divisions value of 5, set the DFTHRH parameter to
10 display divisions.
9. Set the DFSENS parameter high enough to ignore transient peaks. Longer transients (typically caused by lower
vibration frequencies) causes more consecutive out-of-band readings; set the DFSENS parameter higher to counter
low frequency transients.
11.7.2 Adaptive Filter (ADPONL)

The adaptive filter has two settings, sensitivity (ADSENS) and threshold (ADTHRH). It maintains a running average of the A/D
readings when the weight change remains less than the defined threshold value. The filter automatically applies less value to
each successive A/D reading the longer the weight change is less than the threshold value. The amount of value given to the
most recent A/D reading is determined by the sensitivity setting.
Adaptive Filter Sensitivity (ADSENS)
Adaptive filter sensitivity (ADSENS) can be set to HEAVY, MEDIUM or LIGHT. A HEAVY setting results in an output which is
more stable to weight changes than the LIGHT setting. A HEAVY setting also results in small changes in weight data (a few
grads) on the scale base to not be seen as quickly as with the LIGHT setting.
If the difference in typical subsequent weight values on the scale are only a few display divisions, use a LIGHT setting. On a
truck scale where the changes in subsequent weight values are 100s of display divisions, a HEAVY setting is more appropriate.
Adaptive Filter Threshold (ADTHRH)
Set the adaptive filtering threshold (ADTHRH) for the amount of observed instability in the system. This parameter can be set in
the range of 0–2000 and is entered as a weight value. When a new sampled weight value is acquired, the adaptive filter
compares the new value to the previous (filtered) output value.
If the difference between the new value and the previous output value is greater than the ADTHRH parameter the adaptive filter
is reset to the new weight value.
If the difference between the new value and the previous output value is less than the ADTHRH parameter, the two values are
averaged together using a weighted average. The weighted average is based on the amount of time the system has been
stable, and selected ADSENS sensitivity.
With the adaptive filter threshold set at zero, determine the amount of instability present. Enter this amount of weight instability
to set the threshold of the adaptive filter. The adaptive filter is set to OFF the ADTHRH parameter is set to zero.

11.7.3 Damping Filter (DMPONL)

The damping filter is a simple filter which adjusts the amount of time it takes for a change in weight to be processed through the
scale. The DMPVL parameter is a time interval specified in tenths of a second (10 = 1 second). This damping value is used to
determine the amount of time it takes for the scale to reach its final weight output. When DMPVL is set to ten, a transition from
0 lb to 500 lb on the scale takes one second. The closer the weight gets to its final amount, the slower the weight changes on
the display.
