Average piece weight updating
In Setup, under:
Appl: Z: 3.12.
Signum
®
3:
appl1:
count: 3.12.
You can define whether or not the
reference sample weight is updated
automatically during weighing.
The average piece weight is updated
automatically only when the following
6 criteria are met:
1. The menu item must be set to 3.12.3 in
Setup.
2. The current piece count exceeds the
original piece count by at least two.
3. The current piece count is less than
twice the original piece count (does not
apply for the first updating operation
if the piece count is entered using the
keypad or a barcode scanner).
4. The current piece count is less than
1000.
5. The internally calculated piece count
(such as 17.24 pcs) differs by less than ±
0.3 pcs from the nearest whole number
(in this example: 17).
6. The weighing platform is stable in
accordance with the parameter defined
for saving weights.
If automatic average piece weight
updating is selected in the Setup menu
and the piece count (pcs) is displayed,
the Auto symbol is displayed below
the bar graph. If the reference sample
weight has been updated since you
began weighing, the text lines show
the “optimized” code (opt.). During
an updating operation, 0pt and the
updated piece count are displayed briefly
in the measured value line.
The new reference sample weight and
reference sample quantity are saved.
Counting with two weighing platforms
You can use two weighing platforms
simultaneously with the Counting
application. When using two platforms,
you can choose from the following
operating modes:
– Counting with two platforms of the
same type
– Counting with one reference platform
and one weighing platform
Counting with two platforms of the
same type:
Use this mode to count different types
of sample material with different
weights. For example, count the lighter-
weight pieces on one platform and the
heavier pieces on another.
You can define one of the two
platforms as the default scale.
This is configured in Setup, under:
setup:
utilit:
8.11. : (main scale)
This is the first platform active when
you switch on the Signum, regardless of
the setting for automatic initialization
of the Counting application.
Counting with One Reference Platform
and One Weighing Platform:
In this operating mode, the reference
platform is a high-resolution weighing
platform with a relatively low maximum
capacity. The other platform is used
for weighing heavier samples, and has
a high capacity with a relatively low
resolution.
This allows you to both determine the
reference sample weight with high
resolution; i.e., very precisely, and to
count large amounts of parts, without
requiring an expensive high-resolution,
high-capacity weighing platform.
The system can be configured to
switch automatically to the reference
platform for initialization (the measured
value line shows Ref). Following
initialization, you can switch to the
counting platform.
The definition of one weighing platform
as a reference platform is configured in
Setup, under:
Appl:
Z: 3.13.
Signum
®
3:
appl1:
count: 3.13.
If automatic reference sample updating
is enabled, the update is performed on
the active platform; in other words, the
system does not automatically switch to
the reference platform.
