10.4 RI Series CPU board (main board) The CPU board is divided into 5 parts: - The microprocessor part and interfaces, - The printer part, - The display part, - The communication part, - The power supply part. 10.4.1 The micro processor part The system is structured around a Motorola MC68CK331 (IC12) microprocessor.
L6219 (IC32) . 10.4.3 The display part: RI Series and Atoll scales are equipped of two brand of LCD display POWERTIP and TRULY the Powertip has contrast compensation over temperature up to about 45/50 °C, the Truly one has liquid crystal stable up to 65/70 °C and does’nt need any contrast compensation device.
. 10.4.4 The communication part RI Series scales have three serial communication channels: a/ The full duplex RS232 serial port (IC14 LTC1384) for communication with a PC (IP7 KHEOPS, IMPORT protocol or Flash loader) is provided directly by the IC12 processor (Motorola 68CK331).

5) The +5V voltage The +5V supplies several electronic components (serial output, motor control, etc.). It is created by the Q21 5V regulator (LM2931). 6) The +3.3V voltage (VCC): The 3.3V voltage supplies most of the microprocessor's logic circuits. It is created by the IC20 switching regulator (LM2674).

Scales to Scales RS845 interconnections Simplified procedure for networking RI Series and Atoll scales - Pull on the two keyboard clips on the front of the scales. - Swing the fitted keyboard upwards. - Connect the scales to each other via one of the two RJ45 sockets (at the bottom) using the Scales/Scales connecting cable (96100391), up to a maximum of ten sets of scales.
13. Error messages: After switching on during start-up several functioning test are performed . a. Display units: Visual test by the display of smaller and smaller check patterns until maximum resolution. b. Metrology and its security devices: 1) Metrological switch in lower position (off): - Recognition of the base, if, when compared, the calibration parameters, the gravity correction factor and the checksum are not identical or if the base is not connected, the machine is blocked on the message: "UNKNOWN BASE ".
Page 66
6) Updating the weight calculating program: Sectors 2 and 3 of the FLASH memory, containing the weight calculating program and everything pertaining to it, can only be updated when the sealed part is open and the metrological switch in upper position. When the update is over, the new metrological version is recorded on the A/D board.
14. Flash Loader" PC software: a. Principle: The principle consists of reloading the code contained in FLASH memory with the code contained in a Motorola format file (S2/S8). Only the RS232 serial port can be used for communication with the PC. After the connection has been recognised, the loader is copied into RAM and the program counter is switched over to the part copied into RAM.
