6.11.3 Load cell manufacturer [loadCellManufacturer] and load cell order number
[loadCellOrderNumber]
● To be able to identify load cells for service operations, enter the load cell manufacturer
[loadCellManufacturer] and load cell order number [loadCellOrderNumber].
6.11.4 No. of mechanical support points [numberOfSupportPoints]
The parameter is required for automatic calculation of the scale characteristic curve (command
82).
If no anchor points are used, the number of support points is equal to the number of load cells.
If anchor points are used in addition to load cells, the number of support points is equal to the
total number of load cells and fixed support points.
Example
A tank is mounted on three load cells → Number of mechanical support points = 3
6.11.5

Averaged load cell characteristic (mV/V) [averagedCharacteristicValue]

The load cell characteristic value is required to correctly interpret the output voltage from the
load cell. When Siemens WL series load cells are used, the exact characteristic value can be
read from label on the cell. If the exact characteristic value of the utilized cell(s) is not available,
a rounded value can also be specified. For scales with multiple load cells, the average of all load
cells must be calculated and entered.
Example
Characteristic value according to load cell label = 2.018 mV/V
→ Characteristic value = 2.018 mV/V
If this exact value is not known, 2.0 mV/V could also be entered.
6.11.6

Nominal load of one single load cell [nominalLoadOfSingleLoadCell]

The nominal load is entered in the specified weight units The parameter is required for
automatic calculation of the scale characteristic curve (command 82).
