520    Assign a Hopper Scale: calibration command

This command allocates the number of corners typed in as a parameter for a hopper scale
allocation for the current scale under calibration. For example - if a 4-corner hopper scale
is required, 4 will be entered. 

A corner equates to a single cell on the DLC terminal

box

.  

The M2000D has 3 scales, to enter calibration mode for any one, use commands 19,

29 or 39.

It is the task of the indicator to find the number of cells not disabled or assigned to other
scales. The available cells will then be mapped to the corners. The indicator will scan the
online DLC slaves available and enabled cells starting on the primary DLC and ending on
channel 8 on the secondary DLC.

The following examples illustrate how to interpret the assignment information displayed
on the LED display while in calibration mode for a hopper scale. Taking the example of a
4-corner hopper scale – we will look at the following aspects. First we specified 4 (the
logical) corners as part of the hopper scale. Secondly, we need to know to which of the
cells on the DLC boxes these 4 corners were assigned to (the physical cell terminal
numbers).  This information is displayed as follows:

NOTE:

 If the system could not find any allocation space on either the primary or

secondary DLC, it will return with an error message.  If this is a new system and this is
the first scale assignment, it is recommended to first perform a command 500 to clear
all existing scale allocation information (all scale information will be lost). If the
allocation was unsuccessful and other scales do exist that need to stay active, use
Commands 501, 502 or 503 to clear only the current scale allocation information.
Command 501-503 only clears the current scale under calibration. Keep in mind that
the M2000D indicator has 3 scales.

HOPPER SCALE

 This scale allocation is a 4 

Ch

annel  hopper scale consisting of  

4

 corners

on the 

P

rimary DLC – Press the [

The hopper scale allocated consists of a total of 4 corners. This parameter indicates the
number of corners assigned to the hopper scale.

P

rimary DLC - the corner in question is assigned on the 

P

rimary DLC unit

H – (H)opper 

scale allocation
