MPP memory expansion boards
Terminals equipped with the MPP option (permanent weight memory) are characterised by the
possibility of storing the weight data of each individual weighing operation in a permanent memory
and of transmitted the value to an external peripheral device together with an ID code
automatically assigned by the terminal.
Setting the ID code on the weighing terminal makes it possible to make sure the value is correct. The
ID number consists of 7 digits, and therefore the same number can repeat itself after 10,000,000
weighing operations.
6.1.1
Memory capacity
The memory capacity in the MPP memory expansion board allows you to store approximately
500,000 weighing operations (meaning tare), corresponding to approximately 30 months of
continuous use of the terminal, carrying out 500 weighing operations a day.
When used last frequently, the above time values increase.
ATTENTION
When the maximum capacity of the memory is reached, older data are cancelled and
replaced by more recent data.
6.1.2
Operation
The weighing operation memorisation mode (more simply MPP operating mode) is defined during
installation.
Operating modes are divided into two groups (for further details, see the advanced user manual):
in the first, the user acts on the terminal, by pressing
to store and transfer the
weighing operation data
.
in the second, the user acts on the PC keyboard according to the specific software.
In both operating modes, the progressive number associated to the weighing operation can be
viewed on the display after it has been stored.
The MPP identification code also appears on the display only if storage is requested by pressing the
key.
Both the weighing terminal and the PC can signal malfunctioning caused by the impossibility of
transferring or storing the data correctly. In that case follow the specified instructions.
