Installation

2.0 Installation

The IQ plus 210 digital weight indicator is designed for easy setup and installation. All models are pre-configured and weight calibrated before shipment, with the load cell connected to the indicator. For simple, standalone scale applications, hardware installation consists of attaching the indicator, mounting assembly, and bench scale, then leveling the scale.
The IQ plus 2100 is weight calibrated before shipment from the factory, but recalibration at the installation site is
Note strongly recommended. Calibration by a certified scale technician is required for Legal-for-Trade applications.

2.1 Unpacking and Assembly
Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the IQ plus 210 to ensure all components are included and undamaged. The shipping carton should contain the indicator, the indicator mount (tilt stand) and a parts kit. If any parts were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately.
The parts kit contains the items listed below:
· Capacity label (PN 42350) · One grounding clamp (PN 53075), external tooth lock washer, (PN 15133), and kep nut (PN 14626) for digital input or
serial cable shield grounding against the enclosure. · Two wing knobs with nylon washers for attaching the indicator to the mounting assembly, four rubber tilt stand feet (for tilt
stand option) or bench scale feet, jam nuts, lock washers, and cap screws (for column and attachment bracket options). To install, attach the mounting assembly to scale base, then assemble the indicator to the mounting assembly. Place the bench scale in the desired location then lift off the scale platter and locate the bubble level. Adjust the corner feet until the scale is level and all feet are in contact with the support surface. Tighten the jam nuts against the scale to lock-in the level adjustment.
Plug power cord into power outlet to begin weighing.
The supply cord serves as the power disconnect for the IQ plus 2100. The power outlet supplying the indicator WARNING must be installed near the unit and be easily accessible.

2.2 Factory Setup
The IQ plus 210 is pre-configured and weight calibrated at the factory before shipment. Table 2-1 lists the default graduations and count-by configuration for each scale capacity.

IQ plus 210 Installation Manual

2.3 Indicator
The indicator enclosure must be opened to connect cables for load cells, communications and digital inputs.
The IQ plus 210 has no on/off switch. Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the WARNING power outlet.

CAUTION

Use a wrist strap to ground yourself and protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working inside the indicator enclosure.
This unit uses double pole/neutral fusing which could create an electric shock hazard. Procedures requiring work inside the indicator must be performed by qualified service personnel only.
The supply cord serves as the power disconnect for the IQ plus 210. The power outlet supplying the indicator must be installed near the unit and be easily accessible.
Ensure power to the indicator is disconnected, then remove the screws that hold the backplate to the enclosure body, then lift the backplate away from the enclosure and set it aside.
2.3.1 Cable Connections The IQ plus 210 provides three cord grips for cabling into the indicator: two for the power cord and load cell cabling, the third for communications and digital input cables. The free cord grip comes with a plug installed to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure. If your application requires serial communication or digital input cabling, remove the plug and install cables as described in Sections Section 2.3.4 and Section 2.3.5 on page 6.
Cable Grounding Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the cord grips should be grounded against the indicator enclosure. Do the following to ground shielded cables:
· Use the lock washers, clamps, and kep nuts provided in the parts kit to install grounding clamps on the studs adjacent to the cord grips. Install grounding clamps only for cord grips that will be used; do not tighten nuts.
· Route cables through cord grips and grounding clamps to determine cable lengths required to reach cable connectors. Mark cables to remove insulation and shield as described below:
· For cables with foil shielding, strip insulation and foil from the cable 0.5″ (15 mm) past the grounding clamp (see Figure 2-1). Fold the foil shield back on the cable where the cable passes through the clamp. Ensure silver (conductive) side of foil is turned outward for contact with the grounding clamp.
· For cables with braided shielding, strip cable insulation and braided shield from a point just past the grounding clamp. Strip another 0.5″ (15 mm) of insulation only to expose the braid where the cable passes through the clamp (see Figure 2-1).
· For load cell cables, strip the yellow shield wire 0.75″ past the grounding clamp. Fold wire back and secure between the cable and clamp. Shield wire function is provided by contact between the cable shield and the grounding clamp.
· Route stripped cables through cord grips and clamps. Ensure shields contact grounding clamps as shown in Figure 2-1. Tighten grounding clamp nuts.
· Finish installation using cable mounts and ties to secure cables inside of indicator enclosure.

2.3.3 Setting the Load Cell Compensation Jumper
The load cell compensation jumper (above the ZERO button location on the CPU board; see Figure 2-2) must be set for the type of load cell connected to the indicator:

· For load cells with balanced bridges, set the jumper in the OFF position. Example of balanced load cells include the RL1040, RL1250, RL1260, RL1380, and RL1385.
· For load cells with unbalanced bridges, follow the procedure below to determine the correct jumper position. Examples of unbalanced cells include the RL1042 and RL1010.
To determine the correct jumper position for unbalanced cells, do the following;

1. Disconnect load cell from indicator.

2. Use an ohmmeter to measure +EXC to +SIG and +EXC to ­SIG. Measured values between the excitation line and each of the signal lines should be within 2­3.

IQ plus 210 Installation Manual

3. Next, measure ­EXC to +SIG and ­EXC to ­SIG. Measured values between the excitation line and each of the signal lines should be within 2­3.
4. If the +EXC measurements (step 2) are S 5% larger than the ­EXC measurements (step 3), set the compensation jumper in the ON position. If the +EXC measurements are < 5% greater (or are less) than the ­EXC measurements, set the jumper in the OFF position.
2.3.4 Serial Communications To attach serial communications cables, connect communications cables to connector J7 as shown in Table 2-3. Use cable ties to secure serial cable to the inside of the enclosure.
Use the SERIAL menu to configure serial communications. See Section 3.2.4 on page 17 for configuration information.

IQ plus 210 Installation Manual
3.0 Configuration
To configure the IQ plus 210 indicator, the indicator must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed by removing the large fillister head screw on the enclosure backplate. Insert a screwdriver into the access hole and press the switch to enter setup mode. When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the word CONFIG is shown on the display. The CONFIG menu is the first of the main menus used to configure the indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are given in Section 3.2. When configuration is complete, press the setup switch again to exit setup mode, then replace the setup switch access screw.
3.1 Configuration Methods
The IQ plus 210 indicator can be configured by using the front panel buttons to navigate through a series of configuration menus or by sending commands or configuration data to the EDP port. Configuration using the menus is described in Section 3.1.3 on page 11. Configuration using the EDP port can be accomplished using either the EDP command set described in Section 5.0 on page 22 or Version 2.3 or later of the RevolutionTM configuration utility.
3.1.1 Revolution Configuration The Revolution configuration utility provides the preferred method for configuring the IQ plus 210 indicator. Revolution runs on a personal computer to set configuration parameters for the indicator. When Revolution configuration is complete, configuration data is downloaded to the indicator.

Figure 3-1. Sample Revolution Display
Revolution supports both uploading and downloading of indicator configuration data. This capability allows configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator, edited, then downloaded to another.
To use Revolution, do the following:
1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible personal computer running Windows® 3.11 or Windows 95. Minimum system requirements are 8MB of extended memory and at least 5MB of available hard disk space.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off, connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins on the indicator EDP port.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the setup switch to place the indicator in setup mode.
4. Start the Revolution program.
Figure 3-1 shows an example of one of the Revolution configuration displays.
Revolution provides online help for each of its configuration displays. Parameter descriptions provided in this manual for front panel configuration can also be used when configuring the indicator using Revolution: the interface is different, but the parameters set are the same.

Configuration

3.1.2 EDP Command Configuration The EDP command set can be used to configure the IQ plus 210 indicator using a personal computer, terminal, or remote keyboard. Like Revolution, EDP command configuration sends commands to the indicator serial port; unlike Revolution, EDP commands can be sent using any external device capable of sending ASCII characters over a serial connection.
EDP commands duplicate the functions available using the indicator front panel and provide some functions not otherwise available. EDP commands can be used to simulate pressing front panel buttons, to configure the indicator, or to dump lists of parameter settings. See Section 5.0 on page 22 for more information about using the EDP command set.
3.1.3 Front Panel Configuration The IQ plus 210 indicator can be configured using a series of menus accessed through the indicator front panel when the indicator is in setup mode. Table 3-1 summarizes the functions of each of the main menus.

Graduations. Specifies the number of full scale graduations. The value entered must be in the range 1­10 000 and should be consistent with legal requirements and environmental limits on system resolution. To calculate GRADS, use the formula, GRADS = Capacity / Display Divisions. Display divisions for primary and secondary units are specified on the FORMAT menu. Zero track band. Automatically zeroes the scale when within the range specified, as long as the input is within the configured zero range (ZRANGE parameter). Selections are ± display divisions. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
Zero range. Selects the range within which the scale can be zeroed. The 1.9% selection is ± 1.9% around the calibrated zero point, for a total range of 3.8%. Indicator must be at standstill to zero the scale. Use 1.9% for legal- for-trade applications. Motion band. Sets the level, in display divisions, at which scale motion is detected. If motion is not detected for 1 second or more, 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 OFF is selected, ZTRKBN should also be set to OFF.
Overload. Determines the point at which the display blanks and an out-of-range error message is displayed. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
Digital filtering. Selects the digital filtering rate used to reduce the effects of mechanical vibration from the immediate area of the scale. Choices indicate the number of A/D conversions that 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 settling rate of the indicator. Values with the RT suffix provide a raised threshold for filtering larger noise spikes.

IQ plus 210 Installation Manual

5.0 EDP Commands

The IQ plus 210 indicator can be controlled by a personal computer or remote keyboard connected to the indicator serial port. Control is provided by a set of EDP commands that can simulate front panel key press functions, display and change setup parameters, and perform reporting functions. The EDP port provides the capability to print configuration data or to save that data to an attached personal computer. This section describes the EDP command set and procedures for saving and transferring data using the serial port.

5.1 The EDP Command Set
The EDP command set can be divided into five groups: key press commands, reporting commands, the RESETCONFIGURATION special function command, parameter setting commands, and transmit weight data commands.
When the indicator processes an EDP command, it responds with the message OK. The OK response verifies that the command was received and has been executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot be executed, the indicator responds with ??.
The following sections list the commands and command syntax used for each of these groups.
5.1.1 Key Press Commands Key press EDP commands (see Table 5-1) simulate pressing the buttons on the front panel of the indicator.

5.1.4 Parameter Setting Commands Parameter setting commands allow you to display or change the current value for a particular configuration parameter (Tables 5-3 through 5-8).
Current configuration parameter settings can be displayed in either setup mode or normal mode using the following syntax:
command
Most parameter values only can be changed in setup mode. Use the following command syntax when changing parameter values:
command=value
where value is a number or a parameter value. Use no spaces before or after the equal (=) sign. If you type an incorrect command or value, the display reads ??. Changes to the parameters are saved as they are entered but typically do not take effect until you exit setup mode.
For example, to set the motion band parameter to 5, type the following:
MOTBAND=5D

5.2 Saving and Transferring Data
Connecting a personal computer to the IQ plus 210 EDP port allows you to save indicator configuration data to the PC or to download configuration data from the PC to an indicator. The following sections describe the procedures for these save and transfer operations.
5.2.1 Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer Configuration data can be saved to a personal computer connected to the EDP port. The PC must be running a communications program such as PROCOMMPLUS®.
When configuring the indicator, ensure that 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, send the DUMPALL EDP command to the indicator. The IQ plus 210 responds by sending all configuration parameters to the PC as ASCII-formatted text.
5.2.2 Downloading Configuration Data from PC to Indicator Configuration data saved on a PC or floppy disk 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 EDP port as described in Section 5.2.1. 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 4.0 on page 19.
Calibration settings are included in the configuration data downloaded to the indicator. If the receiving indicator is a
Note direct replacement for another IQ plus 210 and the attached scale is not changed, recalibration is not required.
When downloading configurations that include changed serial communications settings, edit the data file to place the serial communications changes at the end of the file. Communication between the PC and indicator will be lost once the indicator receives settings for baud rate (BAUD parameter) or data bits and parity (BITS parameter) that do not match those configured for the PC.

Table 6-1. IQ plus 210 Error Messages

6.1.1 Displayed Error Messages
The IQ plus 210 provides a number of front panel error messages to assist in problem diagnosis. Table 6-1 lists these messages and their meanings.

6.1.2 Using the XE EDP Command
The XE EDP command can be used to remotely query the IQ plus 210 for the error conditions shown on the front panel. The XE command returns two 5-digit numbers in the format:

xxxxx yyyyy
where xxxxx contains a decimal representation of any existing error conditions as described in Table 6-2.

If more than one error condition exists, the number returned is the sum of the values representing the error conditions. For example, if the XE command returns the number 528, this value represents the sum of an A/D physical error (512) and an A/D calibration checksum error (16).
The second number returned (yyyyy) uses the same bit assignments as shown in Table 6-2 to indicate whether the test for the error condition was run. For example, the value yyyyy = 51807 represents the decimal equivalent of the binary value 1100 1110 0111 1111. Using the bit assignments in Table 6-2, this value indicates all tests were run.

6.2 Status Messages

Two EDP commands, P and ZZ, can be used to provide status about the indicator. These commands are described in the following sections.

6.2.1 Using the P EDP Command The P EDP command returns the current displayed weight value to the EDP port. If the indicator is in an under range or overload condition, the weight value is replaced with &&&&&& (overload) or :::::: (under range).

6.2.2 Using the ZZ EDP Command
The ZZ EDP command can be used to remotely query which annunciators are currently displayed on the indicator front panel. The ZZ command returns the currently displayed weight and a decimal number representing the LED annunciators currently lit. The format of the returned data is:

wwwwww zzz
where wwwwww is the current displayed weight, zzz is the annunciator status value (see Table 6-3). If more than one annunciator is lit, the second number returned is the sum of the values representing the active annunciators. For example, if the annunciator status value returned on the ZZ command is 136, the center of zero and lb annunciators are lit: 136 represents the sum of the values for the center of zero annunciator (128) and the lb annunciator (8).
