APPENDIX A - SCALE TOTALIZER
The scale totalizer will sum the weights of two or more scales and make the total available to
the application program. The totalizer can be referenced as if it were another scale. The
totalizer's scale number will be one plus the actual number of scales attached to the indicator.
NOTE! The indicator firmware must be version 02.2 or greater to support this function.
Setup
To setup the totalizer, remove the calibration sealing screws from all scale cards and press the
SETUP key on the indicator's main menu. If the scale cards have not been setup, continue
with the scale card setup. Otherwise, at the SCALE ID prompt, bypass the scale card setup
screens by pressing the FNCT key. The display will change to show:
TOTALIZE
(YES OR NO)
CURRENT=??
Selecting NO (and pressing the ENTER key) will disable the scale totalizer. Selecting YES
(and pressing the ENTER key) will enable the scale totalizer. Pressing the FNCT key will leave
the selection as is and proceed to the next setup function or back to the main menu. If YES is
selected (and the ENTER key pressed), the display will show:
INCLUDE
SCALE 1
CURRENT=??
Selecting YES (and pressing the ENTER key) means that weight from scale 1 will be used by
the scale totalizer. Selecting NO (and pressing the
ENTER
key) means that scale 1 will not be
a part of the totalizer. Note, that all the scales to be included in the totalizer must have the
same scale division value (interval and decimal point precision), sample rate, and weight units.
If this is not true, the error message:
INVALID
SETUP FOR TOTALIZE
will be displayed. Press the FNCT key to return to the INCLUDE SCALE prompt and select
NO, then press the ENTER key to proceed to the next setup function.
In addition, the firmware for the 778A card must be version 00.4 or higher, and the firmware for
the 778K card must be version 00.2 or higher. If this is not true, the error message:
INVALID
REV FOR TOTALIZE
will be displayed. Press the FNCT key to return to the INCLUDE SCALE prompt and
select NO, then press the ENTER key to proceed to the next setup function.
After the appropriate selection for including scale 1 has been entered, the display will ask if
scale 2 should be included in the totalizer. The question will be repeated for each scale
attached to the indicator. The display will then change to show:
CAPACITY
(1 TO 9,999,999)
CURRENT=??
The value entered, in primary weight units, will be used in determining when the totalizer's
overcapacity status will become true. The totalizer's overcapacity status will be true if any
scale is overcapacity or if the total gross weight exceeds the totalizer capacity by more than 9
scale divisions. After the totalizer capacity has been entered, the display will show:
