Parameter
Description
value
Setpoint Value – For weight-based setpoints:
Enter value: 0.0–9999999.0,
0.0
(default)
For time-based setpoints:
Enter value: 0.0–65535.0,
0.0
(default)
For COUNTER setpoints:
Enter value: 0.0–65535.0,
0.0
(default)
trip
Trip – Specifies whether the setpoint is satisfied when the weight is higher or lower than the setpoint value, within a band established
around the value, or outside of the band; in a batch sequence with TRIP=HIGHER, the associated digital output is active until the setpoint
value is reached or exceeded; with TRIP=LOWER, the output is active until the weight goes below the setpoint value;
Settings:
HIGHER
(default), LOWER, INBAND, OUTBAND
bandval
Band Value – For setpoints with TRIP=INBAND or OUTBAND, specifies a weight equal to half the band width; The band established
around the setpoint value is VALUE ±BNDVAL;
Enter value: 0.0–9999999.0,
0.0
(default)
hysters
Hysteresis – Specifies a band around the setpoint value which must be exceeded before the setpoint, once off, can trip
on again;
Enter value: 0.0–9999999.0,
0.0
(default)
preact
Preact Type – Allows the digital output associated with a setpoint to shut off before the setpoint is satisfied to allow for
material in suspension;
Settings:
OFF
(default)
ON – Adjusts setpoint trip value up or down (depending on the TRIP parameter setting) from setpoint value using a fixed value
specified on the PREVAL parameter
LEARN – Can be used to automatically adjust the PREACT value after each batch; it compares the actual weight at standstill to the
target setpoint value and adjusts the PREVAL by the PREADJ value times the difference after each batch
FLOW – Not implemented
start
Starting Setpoint – Specifies starting setpoint number; do not specify number of the TIMER or CONCUR setpoint itself; TIMER or
CONCUR setpoint begins when starting setpoint begins;
Enter value: 1–8,
1
(default)
end
Ending Setpoint – Specifies ending setpoint number; do not specify number of the TIMER or CONCUR setpoint itself; TIMER or CONCUR
setpoint stops when ending setpoint begins;
Enter value: 1–8,
1
(default)
time
Time – For TOD setpoints, specifies the time at which the setpoint becomes active; the format used to enter the time (12hour or 24hour)
is based on the value specified for the TIMEFMT parameter in the Program menu (HHMM);
Enter value:
0000
(default)
duraton
Duration – For TOD setpoints; specifies the length of time the digital output associated with this setpoint changes state; value is entered in
hours, minutes, and seconds (HHMMSS);
Enter value:
000000
(default)
preval
Preact Value – Specifies the preact value for setpoints with PREACT set to ON or LEARN; depending on the TRIP setting specified for the
setpoint, the setpoint trip value is adjusted up or down by the PREVAL value;
Enter value: 0.0–9999999.0,
0.0
(default)
preadj
Preact Adjustment – Setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies a decimal representation of the percentage of error correction
applied (0.5 = 0.5%, 50.0 = 50%, 100.0 = 100%) each time a PREACT adjustment is made;
Enter value: 0.0–100.0,
0.5
(default)
prestab
Preact Stabilization Time-Out – Setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies the time, in 0.1-sec intervals, to wait for standstill before
adjusting the PREACT value; setting this parameter to a value greater than zero disables the learn process if standstill is not achieved in
the specified interval (in tenths of a second);
Enter value: 0–65535,
0
(default)
pcount
Preact Learn Interval Count – Setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN, specifies the number of batches after which the preact value is
recalculated; the default value, 1, recalculates the preact value after every batch cycle;
Enter value: 1–65535,
1
(default)
rel num
Relative Number – For relative setpoints, specifies the number of the relative setpoint;
Enter value: 1–8,
1
(default)
Target weight for this setpoint is determined as follows:
POSREL setpoints, the value of the relative setpoint plus the value (VALUE parameter) of the POSREL setpoint
N E G REL setpoints, the value of the relative setpoint minus the value of the N EG REL setpoint
PCTREL setpoints, the percentage (specified on VALUE parameter of the PCTREL setpoint) of the target value of the relative
setpoint
alarm
Alarm – Specify ON to display the word ALARM on the primary display while the setpoint is active (batch setpoints) or while the setpoint is
not tripped (continuous setpoints);
Settings:
OFF
(default), ON
clracum
Clear Accumulator – Specify ON to clear the accumulator when the setpoint is satisfied;
Settings:
OFF
(default), ON
clrtare
Clear Tare – Specify ON to clear the tare when the setpoint is satisfied;
Settings:
OFF
(default), ON
psh acc
Push Accumulator – Specify ON to update the accumulator and perform a print operation when the setpoint is satisfied; specify ONQUIET
to update the accumulator without printing;
Settings:
OFF
(default), ON, ONQUIET
pshprnt
Push Print – Specify ON to perform a print operation when the setpoint is satisfied; specify WAITSS to wait for standstill after setpoint is
satisfied before printing;
Settings:
OFF
(default), ON, WAITSS
pshtare
Push Tare – Specify ON to perform an acquire tare operation when the setpoint is satisfied;
Settings:
OFF
(default), ON
NOTE: PSHTARE acquires the tare regardless of the value specified for the REGULA parameter in the Program menu
dslot
Digital Output Slot – Lists all available digital I/O slots; this parameter specifies the slot number of the digital I/O card referenced by the
DIG OUT parameter;
Settings:
NONE
(default), 0
