Definitions
•
Assert
: A term that describes the activation, triggering, or turning-ON of a device, indicator, or
machine state.
•
Channel
:
A term synonymous with “Scale” in this context, a
configuration of circuit boards
consisting of an Analog Input Board (required) and optional Analog Output Board and/or Relay
Output Board. Together, the boards enable the real-time weight and/or volume measurement of
material placed on a Scale-Base, then produce proportional output signals of the measurement by
way of an analog current (4-20 mA) or voltage (0-10 V) output signal. High-voltage relay switch
openings and closures can also be activated at predefined measurement setpoints for interfacing to
a
user’s external circuitry.
•
Control-Panel
: The component of an AccuPro-
5000™
Measurement System that houses the
electronics that support the Human-Machine Interface (HMI.) All wiring connections for scales,
sensors, alarms, and SCADA will terminate in the Control-Panel.
•
ENTER
: The act of selecting a given menu option or numeric entry as presented on the display by
way of pressing either the Enter Key or the Rotary Knob switch.
•
Jumper-Shunt
: A 2-position shorting pin placed on a jumper-field used to configure hardware.
•
Keypad
: An optional Control-Panel overlay having embedded dome-style, push-button membrane
switches used to navigate and operate the AccuPro-
5000™
menus.
•
Main Menu
: A collection of high-level, user-control categories from which a user can access one
or more submenu control options for system calibration, configuration, and data entry.
•
Measurement System
: A term that describes a complete AccuPro-5000
™
Measurement System
consisting of the Control-Panel and Scale-Base components.
•
Negate
: A term that describes the de-activation, or turning-OFF, of a device, indicator, or machine
state.
•
Rotary Knob
: An optional rotary control device that generates a sequence of directionally-coded
pulses at a rate that is proportional to its rotational speed. The generated pulses are interpreted as
assertions of either the Down (CCW) or Up (CW) Arrow keys. In addition, pressing the knob causes
a switch-closure that is use
d to “E
nter
” a menu selection or numerical value
.
•
Scale-Base
: The component of an AccuPro-
5000™ system that
houses the load-cell sensor(s) and
platform onto which the material being measured is placed.
•
Setpoint
: A user-defined scale measurement value, or threshold, that corresponds to a predefined
condition or event, such as the 4 mA and 20 mA output points of the Analog Output Board. A
setpoint may also be used to indicate an Alert/Alarm condition via assertion of the Relay Output
Board as a means to inform a user or SCADA system that some event has occurred or some action
is needed.
•
Submenu
: A low-level, HMI environment that is part of a main menu category within which system
calibration, configuration, or data entry actions are performed.
•
Tare
: A measurement allowance intended to offset the physical means of containing or packaging
a chemical substance so as to determine the net weight of goods.
