    920i Introduction The BCD interface is used with 520 digital weight indicators to send weight and status information to remote displays, printers and other peripheral devices. The data is updated after each display update and continuously available for use.
  • Page 5: Installation

    Installation Figure 2-1 shows the BCD option card as installed in the 520 indicator. The indicator enclosure must be open to install the BCD card. The 520 has no on/off switch. Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet.
  • Page 6 7. Plug serial cable to J3 on BCD card. Plug other end of serial cable to J8 on 520 CPU board. Use the nylon tie in the parts kit to secure the serial cable to the mounting pem (see Figure 2-2 below).
  • Page 7: Dip Switch Configuration

    Dip Switch Configuration The BCD option card contains dip switches (see Figure 2-3 on page 3). Move the switches to configure BCD interface parameters (see Table 2-1). SW1-1 SW1-2 SW1-3 SW1-4 SW1-5 SW1-6 SW1-7 SW1-8 DEC_1 DEC_2 POL_SEL Units/Com Select...

    Figure 3-1. BCD External Connection NOTE: The 520 parallel BCD option does not have a floating ground. For proper operation, it is necessary to connect Logic Common of the BCD peripheral device to Logic Common pins 1 and 2 of the BCD option.
  • Page 10 MSD 2 Data Valid Bit. Informs the external device that the BCD output registers have been updated and the data is “true.” Data is not valid if the display shows other than numeric data, if the display is held (in regulatory modes), or if data integrity has been lost.
  • Page 11 Description LSD 1 2nd SD 1 Auto Tare Switch Input. A remote switch for the auto tare function Gross/Net Switch Input. A remote switch for the gross/net function. Signals the indicator to switch between gross and net modes Gross/Net Bit. Specifies the status of the mode of the scale. Logic 1 = Net mode RX serial output, if enabled by dip switch configuration for communication mode Zero Switch Input.

    Tri-State output enable is used to allow other peripheral devices to use the same BCD output. To place the unit in Tri-State mode, set dip switches according to Table 2-4 on page 4.

  • Page 14: Floating Decimal Point

    Floating Decimal Point A BCD receiving device must assume the decimal point in a single location for either units (no decimal point is actually sent on the BCD lines). The BCD offers several configurations for aligning the decimal point. Refer to Table 2-5 on page 5 for dip switch settings.
