2) Introduction 2.1 Introduction This document describes the use of a 4x50 Ethernet system unit from Eilersen Electric. The 4x50 system unit consists internally of a 4050 Ethernet module (with the software listed on the front page) and a 4040 communication mod- ule.
Transfer class: Class 1 In the following the byte order for the individual parts of the telegrams is LSB first. In the following bit 0 will represent the least significant bit in a register. WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 6...
IMPORTANT: Before using the input data described below, the EtherNetIP master must ensure the AS response value in the input data (from 4x50) matches the AS request value in the output data (to 4x50). WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 7...
EtherNetIP master. Please refer to the chapter 4) Data Processing for an explanation on how this typically can be done. WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 8...
LcSignalUnFiltered(X) is the “raw” unfiltered signal from load cell X, which means it is the load cell signal without any filtering or scaling (based on the LcExponent(X)) selected using the DIP switch settings (SWE). WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 9...
LcCapacity(X) is the capacity of the load cell in internal divisions. In order to get the load cell capacity in SI units as stated on the load cell itself, the LcExponent(X) must be taken into account. WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 10...
LcExponent(X) is a fixed value for the load cell used for internal scaling of the raw load cell signal into SI units. This is done according to the following: Exponent [Decimal] Exponent [Hexadecimal] SI unit Conversion to gram 0xFFFFFFFD 0xFFFFFFFE 0xFFFFFFFF 0x00000000 gram 0x00000001 0x00000002 0x00000003 WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 11...
TestValue(X) are fixed hardcoded values, which can be used for testing data handling on the EtherNetIP master. The values transferred are the following: TestValue(X) Value [Decimal] Value [Hexadecimal] TestValue(0) 123456 0x0001E240 TestValue(1) -123456 0xFFFE1DC0 TestValue(2) 12345 0x00003039 TestValue(3) -12345 0xFFFFCFC7 WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 12...

Measurement time 20 ms 100 ms 200 ms 400 ms The hereby found load cell signals (possibly filtered) are used on the Ethernet until new signals are achieved when the next sample period expires. WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 15...
LcZero[x]=LcSignal[x] After this the uncalibrated gross weight for load cell X can be calculat- ed as: LcGross[X] = LcSignal[X] – LcZero[X] WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 17...
For example on a three legged tank with only one load cell, you should get a calibration factor of approximately 3 because of the two “dummy” legs. WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 19...
Finally verify that the weighing system(s) returns a value cor- responding to a known actual load. Note that in the above checklist no consideration has been made on which functions are implemented on the EtherNetIP master. WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 20...
IMPORTANT: The used power supply must be stable and free of transients. It may therefore be necessary to use a separate power supply dedicated to the weighing system, and not connected to any other equipment. WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 21...
RS232 communication channel. This RS232 channel can be used for setup/configuration of the 4x50 Ethernet unit from a PC. Connection to this connector is made using a special serial cable supplied by Eilersen Electric A/S. The 4 pole connector (J4) on the 4x50 unit has the following connections:...

Status for load cell 4 (Red) Bad connection, load cell not ready or other error detected. WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 23...
Update times across the EtherNetIP communication de- pends on the specific EtherNetIP configuration (switches, number of units, mas- ter scan times etc.) and are beyond the scope of this document. WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 24...
7.2.2 Download of new software It is possible to download new software to the 4x50 Ethernet unit using the EEConnect software. The procedure for download of new software is described in the EEConnect users guide. WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 27...
The input data from the 4x50 module is found in the input assembly 103. The output data to the 4x50 module is found in the output assembly 102. The configuration assembly (101) is not used. WWW.EILERSEN.COM Version: 2020-11-24, rev.: 1v4 Page: 28...
7.5.1 4050 Ethernet module This chapter describes possible connections, DIP-switch settings and jumper settings that are available internally on the 4050 Ethernet module. These will normally be set from Eilersen Electric and should only be changed in special situations. 7.5.2 SW2 settings The 4050 Ethernet module is internally equipped with an 8 pole DIP switch block named SW2.
