RICE LAKE SCT-4X Series High Speed Transmitter With Integrated Fieldbus And Webserver
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this product.
This manual contains webserver information for the following SCT-4SX digital weight transmitters:
- SCT-4X-ETHIP
- SCT-4X-MODTCP
- SCT-4X-PRONET
It is recommended that you carefully follow the instructions for programming the weight transmitter; performing actions not indicated in this manual could compromise the functionality of the scale.
Manuals are available from Rice Lake Weighing Systems at www.ricelake.com/manuals Warranty information is available at www.ricelake.com/warranties
Report any product problems to the manufacturer or to the retailer where it was purchased. Always TURN OFF THE POWER SUPPLY prior to installation or repair action.
Network Connection
Connect the instrument to the network using either of the available Ethernet ports:
Network Parameters
Use the Fieldbus Settings procedure in the instrument’s Quick Start Guide to configure the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the instrument.
In most applications it is sufficient to set the IP address of the instrument to the same network ID as the PC. Ensure the configured device ID is not used by another device on the network.
For advanced configuration, contact your network administrator.
Web Page Login
Connect a device to the same network as SCT4X. Type the IP address of the
instrument into a web browser. If the instrument has been configured
correctly, the login window displays:
Enter the password “00000” and sign in.
Once logged in, it is possible to change the password (Change password). In
case of lost password contact Rice Lake Weighing Systems for recovery
Only one PC is allowed to access the instrument’s web page at a time, if you
login from a second PC, the first one will be automatically disconnected.
Logging into the instrument with Read Only disabled interrupts the
communication with the PLC.
When Read Only is enabled, the following features are restricted: accessing
load cells, Calibration, Operative mode and Indicator reboot.
Main Screen
Independent Channels Mode (Multi-Scale)
Dependent / independent channels mode (single scale)
Operating Mode
Read or configure operating modes. Settings include:
- Operative mode: Dependent or Independent
- Channels: Channel number (1, 2, 3, 4)
- Digital Cells: Type 1 -5 or Analog
- Excluded Channels: Excluded Channel number (1, 2, 3, 4)
Network Configuration
Edit the network parameters and the displayed data format:
- IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway (enable “Auto config.” for DHCP).
- Byte order: Big endian / Little endian. This parameter configures device compatible with different processors. It reverses the byte order of input and the output data.
- Data format: Unsigned integer / Signed integer / Float.
- Name of satation: up to 16 characters (only SCT-4X-PRONET)
(only SCT-4X-PRONET)
Changing the parameters will disconnect the transmitter. To reconnect, you must enter the new IP address in the web browser.
Backup/Restore
Select “Backup Configuration” to start receiving the instrument configuration in the web browser.
When reception is complete, the “setup.mot” file automatically downloads. This file is compatible with the Rice Lake Tools. Select “Restore Configuration” to choose a configuration file to load on the instrument.
WARNING: the configuration file must have “.mot” extension.
Change Password
To change an account’s password:
- Enter your old password.
- Enter new password and then confirm.
- Select Change password the complete the procedure.
Indicator Reboot
Reboots the indicator.
Sign Out
Signs out from the instrument’s web page.

Zero
Zeros the instrument.
WARNING : The zero execution takes place only if the necessary conditions are met (zero parameters).
Tare
Performs a tare on the instrument.
To clear an active tare, you must perform a new tare when the scale is empty.
A/D Conversion Points
In dep.Ch mode, the sum of the active channels is displayed.
In ind.Ch mode the value of the active scale is displayed.
Calibration Parameters
Sets the scale calibration parameters:
| Unit | Unit of measure (g, kg, t, lb) |
|---|---|
| Decimals | Number of decimal places (0, 1, 2, 3) |
| Capacity 1 | First range value (or full capacity for single range applications) |
| Capacity 2 | Second range value (not used in single range applications) |
| Division 1 | First range division (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50) |
| Division 2 | Second range division (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50) |
Calibration
NTE: When By indicator is enabled, calibration uses the indicator settings. When By indicator is disabled, it uses the settings on the web server.
By Indicator Calibration (By Indicator is Enabled)
-
Enable the By indicator checkbox.
-
In the Parameters menu, set Unit, Decimals, Capacity, and Division parameters.
-
In the Calibration menu, set the number of calibration points and then enter their weight values in the corresponding Weight text boxes.
-
Select
to send to parameters to the indicator (units, decimals, capacities, divisions, number of calibration
points and sample weights). -
Unload the scale and then select Zero.
-
Load the platform with sample weight 1 and select Point 1. The value of ADC points is automatically acquired in the text box on the right. If you know the ADC point value, it can be entered manually.
-
Repeat 5 and 6 for the remaining calibration points. The weight and ADC point values must increase with each calibration point:
-
Select
to save the calibration.
Web Server Calibration (By Indicator is Disabled)
- Disable the By indicator checkbox.
- In the Parameters menu, set Unit, Decimals, Capacity, and Division parameters.
- In the Calibration menu, set the number of calibration points and then enter their weight values in the corresponding Weight text boxes.
- Unload the scale and then select Zero.
- Load the platform with sample weight 1 and select Point 1. The value of ADC points is automatically acquired in the text box on the right. If you know the ADC point value, it can be entered manually.
- Repeat 4 and 5 for the remaining calibration points. The weight and ADC point values must increase with each calibration point:
- Select to save all parameters on the indicator.
If the weight and/or ADC values are not increasing (Case 2), only point 1
will be considered.
If “Check stability” is active, the calibration points are only acquired if
the weight is stable.
-
Case 1
-
Case 2
Commands

parameters to the indicator.
---|---
| Cancels

| After
acquisition sequence ends calibration and saves values on indicator.
NOTE Only used when the By indicator checkbox is enabled.

Theoretical calibration : By entering the weight and mV/V value of the
cells the relative ADC points are calculated. .
Theoretical Calibration
- Enter the value 0 in the zero mV/V box.
- Enter in the mV/V box related to point 1, the cell sensitivity value calculated as shown in the note.
- Calculate ADC points by clicking .
DEPENDENT CHANNELS
mV/V value:
mV/V cell1 +
mV/V cell2 +
mV/V cell3 +
mV/V cell4 +
DEPENDENT CHANNELS INDEPENDENT CHANNELS
Repeat the procedure for each scale
Filter
Filter| Configures filter (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7 or Custom). For more
information, see instrument’s operation manual.
---|---
Rate| Configures the number of analog to digital conversions (3-100) per
second that is performed by the analog to digital converter.
Param. 1| Configures the length of the average window (quantity of ADC
points). For example, a value of 8 indicates 8 ADC points will be used for the
average window.
Param. 2| Removes ADC points from the average window in beginning or ending
positions.
For example, a value of 2 indicates the 2 outermost values will be removed
from the list. In the list: 10, 20, 30 and 40; 10 and 40 are removed.
Param. 3| Removes the center most ADC points from average computations.
For example, a value of 2 indicates the 2 center most values are removed from
the list. In the list: 10, 20, 30 and 40; 20 and 30 are removed.
Parameter (Param.) values must meet the following the criteria:
- All parameters values must be even numbers
- Param. 2 must be less than or equal to param. 1 and greater than zero
- Param. 3 must be in the range zero to param. 2 – 2
Configure the following parameters to disable filtering:
- Param. 1 = 1
- Param. 2 = 0
- Param. 3 = 0
