The Marel M2200-P02 1013 is a dedicated application for a stand-alone M2200 packing scale, designed for use without any external controls. This document provides a technical description of the application, with its Lua source code available from Marel hf upon request and subject to specific conditions. Further details on Lua scripts and M2200 programming can be found in the "Programming" chapter of the M2200 P02 & M02 Packing Scale User's Guide.

Function Description

The M2200-P02 1013 application primarily functions as a packing scale, enabling the measurement and recording of product weights. It supports the creation and management of different products, each with specific packing limits and nominal weights. The application can record packs with or without regard to these packing limits, depending on the user's configuration. It also features host interface capabilities, allowing it to send weight messages to external systems for data logging and integration.

Important Technical Specifications

The M2200-P02 1013 application runs on the Marel M2200 packing scale. While specific hardware specifications of the M2200 scale itself are not detailed in this document, the application's functionality is directly tied to the scale's capabilities.

Weight Measurement: The scale displays current weight, nominal weight, and can be configured for specific packing ranges. For example, a display might show "Max1/e/Min: 6.000/0.005/0.100kg" and "Max2/e/Min: 15.000/0.010/0.200kg," indicating different maximum capacities, verification intervals (e), and minimum weights.

Host Interface: The application supports sending weight messages to serial port 1 and a persistent output queue. The message format is structured as: W<TAB><Product name><TAB><Product ID><TAB><nominal weight><TAB><real weight><unit> An example message is: W Size B fillets 9 2.000kg 2.235kg. This allows for seamless integration with external data collection or control systems.

Connection Status Indicators: The Debug page provides real-time connection status:

The first character indicates the status of the message port connection ("+" for active, "-" for inactive).
The second character indicates the status of the terminal port connection (same convention).
The third character indicates if the CAN unit is online ("+" for online, "-" for offline).

Usage Features

Starting Up and Configuration: To begin using the P02 1013 application, initial setup involves configuring application parameters. This is done by:

Pressing and holding the PAGE key for approximately three seconds to access the Top Level Menu.
Navigating to 4-System Setup → Settings → System parameters A.
Selecting a parameter from the list, pressing the CHECK key to enter a value, and confirming with CHECK again.
Pressing PAGE to return to the parameter list. Parameters can be scrolled through using arrow keys. After setting all system parameters, the PAGE key is pressed once, and the "Parameters" option on the Settings menu is selected to create a new product.

Available Parameters:

Accept all weights: If selected, the application records packs regardless of packing limits.
Send weight messages to port 1: If selected, weight messages are sent to serial port 1.
Send weight messages to pqueue: If selected, weight messages are sent to the persistent output queue.

Scale Page: The primary operational display, the Scale page, shows:

Current product name.
Calculated/selected nominal weight.
Packing bar (visual indicator).
Weight display. Users can navigate between products using the arrow keys. The Scale page also features Record and Tare functions.

Application Page (Data and Debug): From the Scale page, pressing the PAGE key displays the Application display, which offers two sub-pages: Data and Debug. The DEBUG and DATA keys are used to switch between these pages.

Data Page: The Data page provides detailed information about the current product:

Product identification.
Total number of packs.
Nominal and target weights.
Total weight for the product. Users can select other products to view their details using the arrow keys. Functions available on this page include:

CLEAR (key 4): Clears data for the displayed product.
REPORT (key 5): Generates a weight report to the scale's serial port 1.
DEBUG (key 6): Switches to the Debug page.

Debug Page: The Debug page provides diagnostic information:

Currently active application's name and version number (e.g., [1002.lua v1]).
Current weight on the platform (e.g., [2.235]).
Current state.
Emergency number.
Connection status indicators (e.g., [+++]). Pressing the DATA key (key 5) switches back to the Data page.

Maintenance Features

While specific maintenance procedures are not detailed in this document, the ability to access and configure system parameters, view debug information, and monitor connection statuses suggests features that support troubleshooting and system upkeep. The "Creating Products" section, referenced in the M2200 P02 & M02 Packing Scale User's Guide, likely contains information relevant to maintaining product configurations and ensuring accurate scale operation. The availability of Lua source code also implies that advanced users or service technicians can potentially customize or troubleshoot the application at a deeper level.
