Chapter 5. Inputs and Outputs

Introduction

The 

I/O

 Menu is used to enter parameters for

setpoints, current output (4-20 mA, 0-20 mA),
serial port configuration, printer functions, and
PLC interface. This chapter covers the
functions in the 

I/O

 Menu. Explanations of

each of the functions are provided. Addition-
ally, detailed navigation procedures through
the menu tree are provided for the setpoint
and current output functions.

As shown in Figure 5-1, the 

I/O

 Menu has five

submenus:

1.

Setpt

 — used to set up setpoints to

activate or deactivate a relay

2.

Iout 

— used to set up current outputs

3.

Serl

 — used to set up serial communica-

tions settings for use with a PLC,
printer, etc.

4.

Prnt

 — used to direct output to a printer

5.

PLC

 — used to set up communications

with a PLC

SetPt

The setpoint value is the weight measurement
in a vessel where you wish a device (for
example, a pump) to activate or deactivate.
The setpoint setup functions for each vessel
are accessed in this menu. They include
adding and deleting setpoints and selecting
activation levels, high or low activation,
deadband values, fail-safe parameters, and
net or gross weight.

The 

Descriptions

 section defines each of the

parameters. The 

Setting Up the Setpoint

 and

Setpoint Report

 sections provide the detailed

procedures for using the Weigh II.

Descriptions

Set

This menu is used to select the setpoint to
be set up for the displayed vessel. Depending
on the options you selected for your Weigh II,
up to eight setpoints can be assigned per
