In this menu item (under Weighing points), the xBPI scale weighing electronics are
assigned to a logical weighing point and congured.
- [Interface] (serial), see Chapter 4.7.5.1.
- [Parameters] (weighing electronics), see Chapter 4.7.5.2.
- [Calib], see Chapter 4.7.5.3.
- [Units] (display units, display accuracy), see Chapter 4.7.5.4.
- [Setup], see Chapter 4.7.5.5.
PR 5900 can communicate with scales (e.g. Combics1) or weighing modules via the xBPI
protocol.
A maximum of two scales can be connected via serial interfaces (internal or PR 5900/04)
(see the PR 5900 installation manual under [Device installation] - [Hardware
construction] - [RS-485 interface (internal)] and [Device installation] - [Accessories] - [PR
5900/04 2x RS‐485 interface]). Communication is serial.
For restrictions when selecting the scale protocols, see Chapter 4.7.
The determination and transmission of weight depends strongly on the scale/weighing
module. Weight values up to seven digits plus preceding +/- sign can be displayed. The
maximum capacity (Max) must be set in the scale or already set for a platform and cannot
be changed via the xBPI protocol.
