Introduction

The PROFINET Interface can be used to read and write data to the indicator using a PLC or another primary controller. This manual provides information for installation and use of this product.
The PROFINET Interface is installed inside the indicator enclosure and installation in NEMA
Type 4X stainless steel enclosures permits use in washdown environments. See the indicator technical manual for additional installation information and detailed descriptions of indicator functions.

WARNING: Some procedures described in this manual require work inside the indicator enclosure. These procedures are to be performed by qualified service personnel only.
Manuals and additional resources are available on the Rice Lake Weighing Systems website at www.ricelake.com
Warranty information can be found on the website at www.ricelake.com/warranties

Overview

The primary controller communicates by sending commands through the PROFINET Interface to the indicator. The indicator responds to the primary controller with data and status depending on the command sent. These actions are referred to as polled response.

FCC Compliance

United States
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Canada
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Installation

PROFINET Interface specific functions are provided by a PROFINET Interface.
The module plugs into an open option card slot on the CPU board and provides power and access from the indicator bus to the PROFINET Interface module.
IMPORTANT: See the indicator technical manual for installation instructions.
The interface option cards of the 1280 Enterprise Series indicator share the same carrier board (PN 164756). The carrier board plugs into an open slot on the CPU board and provides power and access from the indicator bus to the module. 1280 interface option card kits are shipped with the module and carrier board already assembled.

The indicator automatically recognizes all installed option cards when the unit is powered on.
No hardware-specific configuration is required to identify an installed card to the system.
WARNING: Always disconnect the power before opening an enclosure. Interface option cards are not hot swappable.
CAUTION: A grounding wrist strap must be worn to protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working inside an enclosure or controller assembly.

Installation Instructions
  1. Disconnect power to the indicator.

  2. See the 1280 technical manual (PN 167659) to gain access to the Controller Assembly box for the specific model.

  3. Remove the screw securing the intended slot cover plate of the Controller Assembly box, set the slot cover plate aside and save the screw.

  4. Mount the faceplate on module and slide module board assembly into place within the slot.

  5. Secure the face plate and module board assembly into place with the previously removed screw.
    NOTE: Interface cable is routed through a cord grip in Universal and Wall mount enclosures.
    Alternately, a chassis mounted connect can be installed in the enclosure.

  6. See 1280 technical manual to reinstall the Controller Assembly box.

Commands

Commands are used by the primary device to send and receive data from the interface as integer or floating-point data. The primary sends eight bytes in the output format to write commands to the indicator and reads eight bytes in the input format to read data from the indicator.
Decimal Point Handling
Integer commands return no decimal point information to the primary.
For example, a value of 750.1 displayed on the indicator is returned to the primary as 7501. Floating point commands support decimal point information with no special handling.

Output Data Format

To perform a command, the primary uses the output command format to send four 16-bit words to the interface. These four words contain the command and the necessary parameters to execute it. The output command format is shown in Table 4-1.

NOTE: See Section 4.1.1 on page 15 for BYTE swapping parameters.
A lockout feature, incorporated into the indicator receive mechanism, looks for change in
the output format data to prevent inundation by the same command.
See affected commands noted in Table 4-2 on page 13 with an (*).
Repeated commands must be separated by any other valid command/parameter/value combination.

Parameter Value
In communication with a multi-scale indicator, the scale number is sent in the second word of the output command format. Zero (0) represents the current scale. Certain commands require a parameter other than a scale number, such as a slot number, setpoint number, or other selection parameter. See the command descriptions in Section 4.3 on page 19 for specific command requirements.

Value
The third and fourth words of the output format are used to pass value data on certain commands. Values entered in these words are treated as unsigned long integers or floating-point values, depending on the command.

Command Number
The number representing the indicator command is sent in the first word.
Table 4-2 lists the commands that can be specified for indicators. Some commands may not be available on all indicators.

BYTE Swapping

NOTE: See the Ports Menu in the indicator manual.

The indicator sends and receives data in integer format.
The standard format is as follows for all input and output values:
High BYTE – Low BYTE
If the indicator FLDBUS/SWAP parameter is set to YES, then the BYTE order changes to:
Low BYTE – High BYTE
Example: If the weight on the scale reads 10 lbs and a value of 2560 is displayed in the PLC, either swap the BYTES in the PLC or change the SWAP parameter to YES.

Input Data Format

The interface returns data and status information to the primary as four 16-bit words in response to a command. The input command format is shown in Table 4-3.
The value type can be set for commands not specifying integer or floating point data by sending the command 0x000 to specify integer data, or sending command 0x100 to specify floating-point data. The value type is returned in the status word (bit 14) of the input format.

Byte 2| Status

Byte 4| Value (MSW)

Byte 6| Value (LSW)

NOTE : See Section 4.1.1 for BYTE swapping parameters.

Command Number

The first word echoes the command number. If the command fails or is not recognized, the negative of the command number is returned to signal the error.

Status Data

Indicator status data is returned in the second word (Table 4-4). Batch commands return batch status in place of the low byte (Table 4-5 on page 17). Setpoint commands return batch status in the low byte of the status word and the setpoint number in the high byte.

Value

Weight data is returned to the primary in the third and fourth words of the input command format, depending on the command and the value type. The weight data returned is the displayed weight after the command is executed, unless the command specifies otherwise.
A negative value is returned in the two’s compliment format.

Setting a Float Value

Setting a float value in a setpoint requires the value to be sent in two separate integer values.
Most PLCs have a mechanism to take a float value and separate it into to integer values.
Example: The following must be sent in the output words to set the value of Setpoint #1 to 10000.

Command word = 304
Parameter word = 1
MSW = 17948
LSW = 16384

Reading a Float Value
When a float value is read it will be returned in two integers representing the float value.
The PLC must combine MSW and LSW integer values back into a float value.
Example: The following is returned in the input words if the weight on the
scale is 800.5.
Command Word = 288
Status word = Scale status
MSW= 17480
LSW = 8192
