MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 3.5.4. Load and Store Setup and Configuration Load Data to / from MP26 Device The current data available on the device can be loaded on to the pc software tool. To do this, go to DeviceLoad dataok.
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 3.5.5. Print Data Set Printer related options are available in the File Menu. The available options are shown in the figure on page 15. Printer setup: Configure the initial settings for the printer in the printer setup menu.
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 3.5.7. Status Device communication status The status can be found only in the operation menu and trend menu, because only in these menus exists a continuous data transfer. In other cases, e.g. for loading or storing data, there is only data transfer for a limited time.
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 3.5.8. Monitoring and Adjusting the Device This menu will be only visible if the device has established communication with the PC. The options available in this menu level are given below. Overview Display value: displays the weight value.
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 4. Calibration 4.1. General Information Calibration of the scale must be followed by initial setting. After entering the prerequisites in the initial setting, the instrument can be calibrated for the given weight or value. The key calibration terms are as follows.
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual Overload The device is able to generate an alarm signal on overload. For this signal to assert the limits, the values should be entered suitably in terms of their physical weight values. Generally, this is set as:...
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 4.3. Calibrating MP26 via software Calibrating MP26 via Software Calibration through MP26/10 tool is the simplest way. Initial setting of the device follows the calibration. These steps are explained as below. Before configuring the initial settings, load the data from the device.
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 4.3.2. Calibration by Weight 1. Load the data from device. 2. Confirm the settings. 3. Go to view parameter as shown in the figure below. Set the dead load/span: The dead load is the constant load which is always present on the weighing scale/system.
Page 25
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual Calibrate the system for standard Load: 9. Load the system with standard weight. Enter loaded weight in parameterinput 1OuH.1. 10. Next go to the operation window and note the measured value under meas.value correction input.1.
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 4.3.3. Calibration by value Calibration by value is done indirectly. It is a theoretical calibration. The calibration is based on the assumption that the dead load is zero and determining the max. calibration. Then, the system shows the dead load.
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 4.4. Example: Calibration by Value For example, consider a load cell with 150 kg capacity and a sensitivity of 2mV/V. The voltage between V+ and V- is 10 V. We want to calibrate the system for the 75-kg full-scale capacity plus an unknown dead load.
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 4.5. Setting the Low pass Filter and Bandwidth Filter Time A first order mathematical low pass filter with adjustable time constant and bandwidth is built-in. The time constant of the filter must be greater than zero. Normally higher values result in good suppression of disturbances, but in an increased delay of the input signals, i.e.
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 5. Configuring Outputs 5.1. Overview Limit values can be configured to generate outputs at Out.1, Out.2, Out.3 ports. Several signals allocated to output are linked by OR logic. The device can generate the output based on ...

MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 5.2.1. Operating Principle: Limit value processing Note: The limit values have to be entered in units of weight. If confout.nO.Act1.(inverse), output will be generated which is inverted to the figure shown above. With measurement value or signal change with latch selected ( ConF / Lim / Fnc.x = 2, 4), the alarm relay remains set until it is reset in the error list.
MP 26/10 Installation and Calibration Manual 5.3. Output Out.3 (analog) The device can be configured to take the output measure as constant voltage or current. The procedure for configuring Out.3 is: 1. Go to configurationOut.3 and set/unset the required values using the down arrow...
