Any input to FT-13 is in two double words and according to the table below.
FT-13 Input
Here R_DW1 provides the value received from the PLC and R_DW2 describes the meaning of this value as
indicated below.
A transition from 0 to 1 activates the Pause function in a filling process.
A transition from 1 to 0 deactivates the Pause function.
A transition from 0 to 1 activates the Hold function which stops the weight control in a filling
process and deactivates the feeding outputs.
A transition from 1 to 0 deactivates the Hold function.
A transition from 0 to 1 activates the reset command.
A transition from 0 to 1 activates the start command.
A transition from 0 to 1 activates the clear command.
A transition from 0 to 1 activates the tare command.
A transition from 0 to 1 activates the zero command.
A transition from 0 to 1 activates the command described in the table below.
Displayed Weight, continuous
Filling / Weighing Mode
Write: Toggle operation mode between filling and weighing
Read: 0: weighing ; 1: filling (W32...W16 of R_DW1)
Quantity (W32...W16 of R_DW1)
Inputs (W32...W16 of R_DW1), continuous
Zero calibration and calibration status (see table above)
Calibrate span and and calibration status (see table above)
First write the calibration weight value in R_DW1
Only calibration status (see table above)
0: Read command; 1: Write command
