Chapter 14 Data Registers and
ID's (Programmable)
14.1 Introduction
The 574 utilizes a great number of numeric data registers
which are constantly being updated during normal
operation or for other general uses. ie.(Accumulation
registers, Standard weighing/counting registers and so
on. Each register is defined with two (2) parts or fields,
the "name" and the "data" field. Any of these registers
can be printed out a specified port by custom transmit or
a macro. Depending on how the registers are formatted
for transmission, the "name" field can be omitted from
the transmission. However, the "name" portion
associated with the "data" portion of the register is
adjustable, meaning the name can be changed. This
section will define and explain six (6) types of data
registers that have the capability of being custom named
or adjusted. In reference to the 574 the six registers are
called out as Variables (VARS), Data Registers (REGS),
Weighing/Counting Parameters, Tm/Dt, Alarms and ID's
(Alpha-numeric strings or simply "strings").
14.2 Weighing Parameters
Weighing parameters can be custom named, making
their intended usage more specific to the scale user.
These parameters are pre-named for standard weighing
and counting purposes. Some applications might require
a custom name. The name can be any length so as it
does not exceed 49 characters. The name length greater
than ten characters is fine if its sent to a printer. Only
the first ten characters will be displayed in the ten
character auxiliary display (2-lines, 5x7 dot matrix)
when the data entry mode is accessed. If the name is
five characters or less in length, the bottom line (five
characters) of the ten character auxiliary display will still
show the word "value". This is part of the default name
as it would be displayed if the variable or register had
not been named. If it is desirable to have the variable
name five characters or less, simply add a (space) to the
sixth character name location. No matter what character
length is specified it will be used as the column name if
the parameter is specified as a column in a database.
Refer to chapter 20 Database (option) for more
information on setting Weighing/Counting parameters,
VARS, REGS and ID"s as column headings.
Naming Weighing Parameters (P600-P602)
P600. - - Gross
Accessing this parameter sets the "naming" for the Gross
Weight parameter.
P601. - - Net
Accessing this parameter sets the "naming" for the Net
Weight parameter.
P602. - - Tare
Accessing this parameter sets the "naming" for the Tare
Weight parameter.
Accumulation Weighing Parameters (P603-P608)
P603. - - GrTOT
Accessing this parameter sets the "naming" for the Gross
Total parameter.
P604. - - GrT+C
Accessing this parameter sets the "naming" for the Gross
Total Plus Current Gross parameter.
P605. - - GrT-C
Accessing this parameter sets the "naming" for the Gross
Total minus Current Gross parameter.
P606. - - NetTOT
Accessing this parameter sets the "naming" for the Net
Total parameter.
P607. - - NtT+C
Accessing this parameter sets the "naming" for the Net
Total plus Current Net parameter.
P608. - - NtT-C
Accessing this parameter sets the "naming" for the Net
Total minus Current Net parameter.
14.3 Time and Date Parameters
The Time and Date parameter can be custom named,
making its intended usage more specific to the scale
user. This parameter are pre-named (Tm/Dt). Some
applications might require a custom name. The name
can be any length so as it does not exceed 49 characters.
The name length greater than ten characters is fine if its
sent to a printer. Only the first ten characters will be
displayed in the ten character auxiliary display (2-lines,
5x7 dot matrix) when the data entry mode is accessed. If
the name is five characters or less in length, the bottom
line (five characters) of the ten character auxiliary
display will still show the word "value". This is part of
the default name as it would be displayed if the variable
