4.8.9 Limits 
3 pairs of limits can be set to get e.g. information on the filling status of a hopper and to generate a 
signal. 
 
Each limit has got two weight data: The limit on and the limit off value. These two values are 
compared with the actual weight and in case of coincidence an output signal is generated which can 
be linked to one of the 3 outputs. 
Example (detection of filling status, low and high limit): 
The output signal of limit1 (linked to output 1) shall switch OFF above 900 kg and switch ON below 
890 kg. Limit2 (linked to output 2) shall switch OFF below 290 kg and switch ON above 300 kg. In case 
of power down (both limit outputs are set to OFF). 
 
 
 
If the limit values for ON and OFF are equal, the limit output switches on, if the weight increases over 
the value and switches off, if the weight decreases below the value. 
 
 
 
Default values for Limit1 – Limit 3 are 0 kg.
