Frequency „Belt 
speed“ low pass 
filter (Hz) 
 
Cutoff frequency of low pass filter for belt speed  
 
Set “0” to switch off the filter. 
Cutoff frequency f
g
 can range between 0.05…50 Hz. 
 
Order number „Belt 
speed“ low pass 
filter 
The number of the filter defines the effect of damping. The values 2, 4, 
6, 8, and 10 can be set. The higher the selected order number, the 
higher the damping effect of the filter. 
 
Average filter „Flow 
rate“ (samples) 
The mean value filter is used to steady the weight against random inter-
ference. The weight is generated from the mean value of n (n = max. 
250) weight values calculated by the weighing module every 10 ms. 
With n = 10, for example, 10 values are used to generate the mean val-
ue. The oldest value is discarded every 10 ms, and the newest value 
included in the calculation. 
 
1.4.5 Belt commands 
In case of working without speed sensor but using a known belt speed, the 
command „Belt is running“ must be setted in order to operate the scale. 
 (see 7.3.2.1 „Specification of a known, constant belt speed“, pg. 48)

1.5.1 Digital in- and outputs 
Parameterize the digital in- and outputs 
 
Assign commands to digital input 0 to 3. The commands will be trig-
gered with rising edge (0 -> transition). 
 
Consider that DI.0 is used for speed sensor input. 
 
Refer to chapter 10 “Command lists” page 83 for a list of possible com-
mands. 
 
To ensure that the inputs do not respond too quickly to the signal 
change, a minimum signal pending time can be specified. The pending 
signal is not processed further until this time has elapsed.. 
 
The following values can be set: 
–  0,2 ms 
–  0,4 ms 
–  0,8 ms 
–  1,6 ms 
–  3,2 ms 
–  6,4 ms 
–  12,8 ms 
 
A status display can be assigned to a digital input. This is done on the  
basis of chosing the status out of the drop down menu.
