Operating Design
Data Output
You can choose from four forms
of data output:
– Printer
– Digital input/output interface
– COM port
– LEDs
Printer
You can connect one or two strip
printers or one or two label printers
to the Combics. If you use a universal
printer or a model YDP02 or YDP03
printer, you can configure interface
parameters in the Setup program
(baud rate, stop bits, handshake
mode, data bits).
The printout can be formatted by the
user. The printout consists of two
user-definable header lines, up to four
lines identifying the weighing data,
one line for date and time, initialization
data (only when using applications),
serial number and results. For a strip
printer, universal printer or label printer,
you can also define whether a GMP
header and GMP footer (field for
operator signature) will be included
on the printout (GMP: Good
Manufacturing Practice).
These functions are described in detail
in the chapter entitled “Operating
the Combics”, under “Data Output
Functions.”
You can have printouts generated
at the press of a key, or automatically
(dependent on stability).
For the Totalizing and Net-total
applications, you can also configure
summarized printouts (results)
independent of individual or
component value printouts.
Press the
p
key to print the settings
of the current menu level on a strip
printer or a universal printer.
All submenus under the current menu
level are included on the printout.
Digital Input/Output Interface
The digital I/O interface is supported
by the Checkweighing and Classification
applications.
Checkweighing
Four data outputs transfer the following
information on the weight values:
“less than”, “equal to”, “greater than”
and “set” In the Setup menu, you can
configure whether the outputs are:
always on; activated when the scale
has stabilized; active only within the
checkweighing range; activated when
the scale has stabilized only if the
values are within the checkweighing
range, or off.
Classification
Four data outputs transfer information
on the class of the load (Class 1, 2, 3,
4 or 5) and whether the minimum load
is exceeded (Set). The user can define
whether the output lines are always
active, activated only at stability, or off.
For the Checkweighing and
Classification applications, you can use
the “Set” output to indicate:
– The scale(s) and the Combics 3 indicator
are ready to operate, or
– for Checkweighing: Set
– for Classification: Minimum load
exceeded
For all other applications, the “Set”
output indicates when the Combics 3
indicator is ready to operate.
COM Port
The Combics scale is equipped
with an SBI interface for data transfer.
You can define certain parameters for
this interface (generate printout,
time-dependent autoprint, ID codes).
See “Data Output Functions” in
the chapter entitled “Operating the
Combics” for a detailed description
of data output options.
LEDs
The Combics 3 has an integrated
checkweighing display consisting
of three LEDs, for use with the
Checkweighing and Classification
applications. These LEDs show the
relationship of the current weight
value to the tolerance limits in
Checkweighing; with the Classification
application, they indicate how the
weight value is classified.
Saving Data
The parameters you select in the
operating menu remain stored after
you turn off the Combics.
The Combics also stores all application
parameters (for example, reference
values). These parameters are
overwritten only when
– you turn the Combics off and then
back on again
– you return to the originally selected
application from a different one
(for example, if you switch from
Counting to Averaging, the values
previously stored for the Counting
application are restored)
You can restrict access to the Device
parameters menu in the Setup program
by assigning a password. The password
is configured in the Setup program,
under:
