As soon as the weight reaches the TOTAL UNLOADING END a wait time starts equal to the WAIT FOR 

DISCHARGE END (

).

Once  the  wait  time  is finished the  activity ends, with subsequent disabling of the  fast dosage and

The data of the executed dosage is automatically stored and transmitted through the serial line for

Split total unloading 

a) Description 

-

 

This activity has the purpose of completely unloading the scale after one or more loading dosages, 
SPLITTING the dosage in various partial unloads which have a fixed partial target, programmable in 
the formula (example: unload 2000kg in 20 dosages of 100kg): 

-

 

In  order  to  obtain  a  split  total  unloading  activity,  one  should  enter  an  unloading  activity  in  the 
activity database; then, in the formula, one  should enter the unloading activity after one or more 
loading  activities,  with  a  target  equal  to  the  partial  TARGET,  for  example  100kg.  By  entering  an 
unloading  activity  as  first  activity  of  the  formula,  one  obtains  a  partial  unloading  (see  following 
unloading method). 

-

 

Each single unloading is managed as a partial unloading activity (see following unloading method for 
details). 

-

 

It  is  possible  to  program  in  the  activity  how  the  first  unloading  should  start,  once  the  previous
