Chapter 21 Setpoints Setup (FEATURE) Technical Reference Manual
setpoints. This information is serially transfered to the
setpoint device via the com or printer port.
A setpoint may not stay in the state you changed it to if
the conditions which govern its setup cause it to change
to the opposite state.
NOTE:
Setpoints which are not enabled in the Setup Mode will
be activated or de-activated by the above commands.
They will not change state on their own except to be de-
activated upon initial power-up and upon power-down.
To exit the Setpoint Status Mode press <SELECT>.
SETPOINT INPUTS
Setpoint inputs are not available on the 574. The
setpoint setup software reflects remnants of input setups
from the 550 instrument. Refer to your 550 technical
reference manual for more information on 550 setpoint
inputs.
21.2 Setpoint (Input and Output)
Parameter Setup
NOTE:
The setpoint setup software reflects remnants of input
setups from to 550 instrument. Refer to your 550
technical reference manual for more information on 550
setpoint inputs.
P5100.X SPt 1 through P8200.X SPt32
These parameters are used to set Setpoints 1-32 into use
as either an input, an output, or not used (disable).
Setpoint inputs are not available on the 574.
NOTE:
Some of the setup parameters described in the text below
will be displayed only if certain choices were made in a
previous setup selection. Thus when setting up a
setpoint, the inapplicable parameters will not appear in
order to avoid confusion and simplify your choices.
P5100.X SPt 1
This parameter offers 3 selections which either disables,
or assigns Setpoint #1 as an output or input.
NOTE:
Parameters P5110 through P5121 all apply to the
activation of the setpoint.
P5110.X Activ
This parameter specifies the condition which will
activate the setpoint. The following selections are
provided: the output becomes active if the weight rises
above the target value, falls below the target value, falls
between the target values, falls outside the target values,
if <TARE> is pressed, if <ZERO> is pressed, if
<PRINT> is pressed, if motion occurs, if motion ceases,
or always activates. The last selection, never, specifies
that the output will become active only through an
activate command contained within a Macro or an RS-
232 message received through the Comm Port. If never
is chosen, parameters P5111 through P5121 will not
appear.
NOTE:
The selection of "Above" correspond to greater than or
equal to the target value while the selection "Below"
correspond to less than the target value.
P5111.X Hold
This parameter specifies a minimum activation time for
the setpoint. Selections from 0.0 seconds to 25.0 seconds
minimum activation time are available. 0 seconds is the
normal selection. Upon activation, any non-zero
selection will keep the setpoint active for the specified
minimum period of time regardless of whether the de-
activation conditions are met.
P5112.X Macro
This parameter specifies which Macro, if any, will be
executed when the setpoint is activated. The Macro can
trigger a series of commands such as tare, accumulate,
print, increment a counter, etc., when the setpoint is
reached.
NOTE:
The following selections are accessible only if the
selection for P5110 is above, below, between, outside or
above.
P5113.X Mot'n
This parameter specifies whether or not motion will be
ignored by the setpoint or will inhibit setpoint activation.
NOTE:
The following selections are accessible only if the
selection for P5110 is above, below, between or outside.
