The information herein is believed to be both accurate and reliable. Group Four Transducers, however, would be obliged to be informed if any errors occur. Group Four Transducers cannot accept any liability for direct or indirect damages resulting from the use of this manual.
The model GLDM 64.1 is a very precise high-speed digital amplifier for weighing and force measurements with strain gauge (SG) sensors. The GLDM 64.1 can be used in legal for trade (requires OIML R-76:2006 Part 1) as well as for industrial applications.
In case of using a load cell/scale with 4 wire cable, you have to short-circuit (bridge) the pins 8 & 9 and 13 & 14. Remark: Please don’t shorten the 4 wire cable of a load cell, as the cable is part of the factory calibration (signal & temperature compensation). GLDM 64.1 Technical Manual rev. 1.30 February Page 7 of 50 2020...
Depending on the grounding concept of the plant/scale, terminal 2 has to be connected to terminal 3. Terminal 11 (shld. load cell) and 3 (Ground chassis) are internal connected. Note: The power supply must be able to supply about 0.75W per GLDM 64.1. 3.5.
3.8. Logic Inputs & Outputs The GLDM 64.1 offers 4 isolated logic inputs and 4 isolated logic outputs, all “floating”. The input 0 can get the function to act as Trigger Button for a measurement, see chapter 8.12.6. The 4 outputs act as switches for setpoints with hysteresis, switch behavior etc. Several bases can be used like gross weight, net weight or average weight value, see chapter 8.9.x.
The command setup is based on a simple ASCII format (2 letters). This enables the user to setup the device, get results or check parameters. Example: Connect the GLDM 64.1 via the RS232 port to a PC / PLC system. You want to get the identity, firmware version or net weight.

The CS command saves all of the calibration group values, as set by CZ, CG, CM‘n’, DS, DP and ZT. The command returns ERR and has no updating action unless it is proceded by the cmd CE_XXXXX. GLDM 64.1 Technical Manual rev. 1.30 February Page 18 of 50...
8.2.20. FT Firmware Type [ SDO 2300 sub 0x15 ] The GLDM 64.1 with firmware version 64.181.v.3.00 or higher can be used to run different applications. The respective firmware type can be freely selected with the FT command. The firmware types FT: FT = 0 is the basic version with checkweigher and re-trigger functions, content of this manual.
** Note: The pre-filter can be switch ON and OFF with the command PF – settings are 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON). This feature can be used with ASCII communication or CANbus [ SDO 2100 sub 16 The use is for specialists only. GLDM 64.1 Technical Manual rev. 1.30 February Page 20 of 50 2020...
Set zero performed The SZ command will fail (GLDM 64.1 responds with ERR) if the new “current zero” is more than CM) higher or lower than the “true zero” set during calibration. The SZ command will also fail if the weight signal is not stable as defined by No motion range (NR) and No motion time (NT).

29 bit identifiers. It only transmits 11 bit identifiers. The CAN rate is setup as default to 500 kbit/s. The GLDM 64.1 is always quiet on the CAN bus until the NMT Start command is received, except for the very first ‘node guard’ message.
The Weight and status is sent using TPDO1. One TPDO1 is sent each time a new measurement is ready. The high measuring rate of the GLDM 64.1 will result in approx. 1200 TPDO1’s per second. If the PLC system can’t handle 1.200 meas./sec., the output rate can be reduced – see the command NS1_6 (index 2007 sub 6), only for CANbus available.
