    2. Installing the board in the PC (The following description refers to Windows XP. Obviously, on another operating system it might be different.) 1. Make sure that all installation files have been copied to your hard disk to a new folder, say, LCIC-WIM. 2.

  • Page 12: The Calibration Utility

    3.2 The Calibration Utility 3.2.1 General The calibration utility (LCIC-WIM-CALIBRATION) enables to calibrate the LCIC-WIM board adjusting it to your own system. The utility is straightforward and is in the form of a Windows wizard. It includes three main stages carried out in five steps. The three stages are: 1.
  • Page 13 The five calibration steps are: Step 1 – Show Data This step introduces both the parameters and the current readings, as received from the board. The step is passive in the sense that it only shows data passed by the board, but it does not make any change in the board.
  • Page 14 Step 2 – Pseudo Calibration / Parameters This step starts the calibration procedure. It enables to change calibration parameters. Whether you changed the parameters or not, you may proceed to the next step by pressing the ‘Next’ button. Library issues: 1.
  • Page 15 Step 3 – Pseudo Calibration / Zero This step enables to redefine the ‘zero’ level. Click ‘Skip’ if you are satisfied with the previous definition of the ‘zero’ level. Otherwise, when the scale is empty and stable (see note), click ‘Zero’ to sample another ‘zero’...
  • Page 16 Step 4 – Pseudo Calibration / Weight This step enables to redefine the ‘weight’ level. Click ‘Skip’ if the previous ‘weight’ level was OK. Even if there was a fixed shift in the weight (which you probably corrected in step 3), you don’t have to redefine the ‘weight’...
  • Page 17 Step 5 – Save or Quit This is the final step – here you decide whether to confirm the pseudo calibration, or leave it out. Before you decide, you may watch the current readings examining whether they are satisfactory. • In case you do want to confirm the new (pseudo) calibration (overwriting the previous calibration), press the ‘Save to Board’...
  • Page 18: The Calibrations Library

    3.2.2 The Calibrations Library Each calibration that the user applies may be saved in the ‘Calibrations Library’. Later on, the user may use that library as a short cut in order to restore a previous calibration quickly and reliably. The procedure is very simple: Save Unless the ‘Save to Library’...

  • Page 20: Calibration Efficiency (Ce)

    3.2.4 Calibration Efficiency (CE) The potential range of A/D points is between 0 and near ±8,400,000. The 'Calibration Efficiency' specifies what portion of this potential range is in use. The closer it is to 100%, the better accuracy / stability you have. However, in practice , 100% is a theoretical number and almost not reachable .
  • Page 21: The Settings Utility

    3.3 The Settings Utility The LCIC-WIM-SETTINGS utility gives control to card’s filters, analog output, fill mode parameters and more. The utility has three items: • The Menu Bar • Current Weight Display • Parameters The ‘Current Weight Display’ is rather obvious – it continuously shows the actual weight.
  • Page 22 3.3.1.1 Tools / Analog Output The ‘Settings’ utility gives access to the analog output mechanism: Click ‘Tools’ / ‘Analog Output’. For ‘manual’ mode uncheck the ‘Activate Auto Mode’ box. For ‘auto’ mode check the ‘Activate Auto Mode’ box. Manual Mode On the top of the display, specify a desired voltage in the ‘Manual Mode’...
  • Page 23: Tools / Baud Rate For Sci Port

    3.3.1.2 Tools / Baud Rate for SCI port Click ‘Tools’ / ‘Baud Rate for SCI port’ to see the current baud rate for the RS232/RS485 serial port. It may be changed to some values between 19,200 and 115,200. (The baud rate for the USB need not be defined – usually it is 921,600.) The change will take effect only after card reset.
  • Page 24: Tools / General Setpoints

    3.3.1.3 Tools / General Setpoints The LCIC-WIM board has four digital outputs. Each of them may be defined – through the Tools / General Setpoints – either as a manual output, or as a general setpoint output: • A manual output is controlled by a user’s command sent from the PC (or another computer).
  • Page 25: Parameters

    3.3.2 Parameters The following sections describe the various parameters. After changing parameter(s), click the ‘Save to Board’ button and wait a while until the new value(s) are accepted by the board. 3.3.2.1 Communication The Communication box refers to card’s communication port – either serial or USB.
  • Page 26: Get Results Immediately

    3.3.2.1.4 Get results immediately Controls card’s response in communication during a special mode, such as the Fill mode: When checked, the card assumes that the PC (or another remote computer) is continuously connected and listening to the communication port. Therefore, the card takes the initiative and sends messages to the PC, reporting the process results immediately when they are available.
  • Page 27: Auto Zero

    3.3.2.2 Auto Zero The ‘Auto Zero’ optional feature supplies an automatic correction to creeps in the zero level during a special mode (such as the fill-mode or the WIM-mode), caused by dust, temperature etc. When this feature is activated and the card is inside the special mode, the board automatically clears the gross weight if some pre-defined condition is satisfied: All readings within some ‘continuous duration’...
  • Page 28: Start Fill-Mode

    3.3.2.3 Start Fill-mode 3.3.2.3.1 Fill-mode starts automatically upon card reset When this option is activated (checked), the card starts automatically the Fill-mode upon reset. Otherwise (the option is unchecked), the cards ‘awakes’ in the upper level, referred to in this document as the ‘general mode’.
  • Page 29: Filtering

    3.3.2.4 Filtering Board’s digital filtering is used to "smooth" the read samplings by averaging a pre-set number of the internal readings. It's especially essential on a noisy environment, as this mechanism reduces system's susceptibility to short interferences. The 'noise' may be either mechanical (e.g., load cell vibrations), or electrical.
  • Page 30 4. Programming your Application The control of the board is by commands and parameters, described below.

The block consists of integer weights separated by a Carriage Return.

  • Page 57 D.2 Baud Rate For the USB, the maximal baud rate is 921,600. The board responds well without a need to pre-define the used b/r. For serial communication, the required b/r should be pre-defined by the user via the Settings utility (section 3.3). The available baud rates are between 19,200 and 115,200.
  • Page 58 D.5 RS485 Up to 64 LCIC-WIM boards may be connected to one PC port. In the PC side, use a converter either from the RS232 port, or from the USB port (that is, RS232 to RS485 converter, or USB to RS485 converter).

This gives more flexibility when several setpoints are needed. For details about the switching procedure refer to section E.2.

  • Page 74 E.4.1.4 Stabilization Criterion (Tare & Stop) At the beginning and at the end of a filling cycle the board waits for the scale to stabilize in order to read its weight. Hence, some stability criterion is required. The board requires that all readings within ‘Delta Time’ will be inside a range whose width is ‘Delta Weight’, both at the beginning (Tare) and at the end (Stop) of the filling cycle.
