EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Features INTRODUCTION Features Basic Units & Resolution The units for each variable type (weight etc.) can be selected from a list of metric and imperial units. The resolution of each variable type can be adjusted, this alters the count by e.g 100kg displayed in 0.2kg increments.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Specifications Digital Outputs OUTx The digital outputs are programmable to operate from any internal signal. These signals include the digital input states, status conditions (running, paused etc) and any fault conditions that are detected. This makes it easy connect into other systems.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Specifications Signal processing rate 100 Hz (response time setting≤ 0.5 s) Input sensitivity 0.5 µV/division maximum Zero range ±3 mV/V (±15 mV) Zero drift ±0.02 µV+0.0005 % of deadload/°C typical Span drift ±0.0005 %/°C typical Non-linearity ‹0.002 % of FS...
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Dimensions INSTALLATION The instrumentation must be mechanically installed and then the electrical connections made. The im- portant electrical connections are as follows. Power supply connections: 24Vdc fused or current limited to 5A. Communications: A shielded cable is recommended to connect units together with COM2. It can extend up to 500m.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Connections The display is normally located to suit an operator. The transmitter can be located in the field to reduce field wiring or can be located with the display for a more conventional approach. The I/O can conveniently be situated on a DIN rail in a cabinet.

EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Setup Setting the COM1 Modbus Address Before a multidrop system will operate, the addresses in each of the ModWeigh units will need to be set differently. This can be done by wiring a link or resistor to the ADS terminal where available. See the table on the connection diagram.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Setup Basic Settings The basic settings are settings which generally must be set first and often affect other settings through the controller. For example, they set the engineering units and measuring range for the application. Inputs The inputs are settings and calibration which effect the basic inputs signals.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Setup SETUP key Press to view the setup menus. ALPHANUMERIC keypad Used to enter numerical data values. UP and DOWN keys Use these keys to move up and down a menu, or to increase or decrease a setting when editing is en- abled.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Setup Service Service menu contains all standard settings as well as settings for advanced configuration and diagnos- tics. Use this menu if there are special application requirements, or if special diagnostics are required. This menu includes the Factory settings, for which certified equipment is required. These settings are not documented in this manual, contact the factory for further information.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Macros Macros A macro is a list of numbers representing text characters and instructions codes. Each number is edited separately, and is entered either as a number using the numeric keys, or as an text character using the letter keys much like a cell phone.

Sequence of quick-keys used to reach this macro. Not editable. The left-most digit identi- fies the current menu as follows: 1 for Quick setup, 2 for Main setup, 3 for Service setup, and 4 for Altered setup.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Settings Update with a PC Windows™ PC ModWeigh unit Updating Procedure Copy the ModUpdater program (e.g. ModUpdaterv6.01r10.exe) onto a PC. The name contains the version number of the software to be installed. Before starting, it may be advisable to record the settings in the unit if you wish to restore these after updating.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Initial Setup Step Quick Keys Set the digital output terminal functions 243x INFORMATION, RESETS & FINAL CALIBRATION Set key locks or customise the display 256xx Initial Setup Before calibration can be done, the system integrators will need to have completed all the wiring and you will need suitable test weights.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Basic Settings SETUP – MW61A WEIGHER Basic Settings Basic Settings Inputs Internal Signals Outputs Communications & Display Information, Resets & Final Calibration Engineering units These settings affect the engineering units that will be used for many other settings. The engineer- ing units can be changed at any time.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Inputs Weight change constants Q2181 control function 8088, g0 The control functions sets whether the flowrate is measured by weight loss (decreasing weight) or weight gain (increasing weight). Set to 0 for weight loss or to 1 for weight gain.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Inputs Loadcell input (vessel weight) Input settings * Q22311 AI1 response time [0.04 to 32] 8120, g1 0.50 s The response time for the weight signal. A larger value will help reduce variations in the weight reading caused by vibrations or movement on the weighing system.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Inputs Calibrate Using Loadcell Specifications The loadcell can be calibrated using the loadcell(s) capacity and sensitivity supplied by the manufac- turer. Using this method avoids the need to load and unload test weights onto the weighing system. If the system has already been calibrated using test weights, the actual dead load and loadcell sensitivity are displayed.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Internal Signals Q2242 AI2 current high 8142, g2 20.000 mA This is the high point of the analog signal (when using the current input) within the range 0 to 20 mA (typically set this variable to 20 mA).
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Internal Signals Q23126 zero weight 8220 kg,t,g Displays the amount of weight that has been zeroed out since the last zero calibration. Weight motion motion detection band (set to 0 to disable) [0 to 50] Q23131 8230, g5 3.0 divs...
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Outputs Memory Recall/Store The following 3 settings are used to recall or store a group of settings and to set a name for each group. The groups are numbered from 0 to 19. Unless the memory usage is disabled, these settings will appear in the operator’s MENU, accessed by pressing the MENU key.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Communications & Display Q2416 AO1 current (can override output signal) 8800, g10 Displays AO1 current. This setting may be altered to temporarily manually set the output current. This is useful to test the analog output. The output will return to normal after you exit from the settings.
EMC INDUSTRIAL GROUP LTD Communications & Display Q2512 COM1&2 modbus address [1 to 30] 8592, g12 modbus address. Q2513 COM1 handshake enable [0=disable, 1=enable] 8584, g12 When set to 1, hardware handshaking is enabled. Set to 0 to disable hardware handshaking.
