6.6 MPP memory expansion boards
Terminals equipped with the MPP option (Permanent Weight Memory)
can save the weight data of each single weighing operation in a
permanent memory or print a paper record (type-approved printer) and
transmit the values to a peripheral device, along with an identification
code that is automatically assigned by the terminal.
In the case of printing the data (on a type-approved printer), it is not
necessary to install the internal optional board. By entering the
identification code on the terminal or by checking the paper records, it is
possible to verify that the data are correct. The identification number
comprises 7 digits, which means that the number will be repeated after
10.000.000 weighing operations.
6.6.1 Memory capacity
The memory capacity of the MPP expansion board is sufficient to store
the data for approximately 130,000 weighing operations (weight + tare),
which corresponds to around 8 months of continuous use of the
terminal, performing 500 weighing operations per day.
If the terminal is used less frequently, this period will be extended.
CAUTION
When maximum memory capacity is reached, the oldest data
are deleted and replaced by the most recent.
6.6.2 Operation
The type of MPP operation is defined during installation.
There are two main types of operating mode (for further details see the
advanced user manual):
✔
in the first type, the user operates from the terminal by pressing
to save and transfer the weight data;
✔
in the second type, the user works from the PC keyboard in the way
determined by the specific software.
