RGB Technology Kazel WA-1 MINI User Manual

WA-1 MINI, WA-1 OPTIMA and WA-2 PROFESSIONAL REMOTE DISPLAYS
1. Introduction
The devices of the WA series are designed to display measurement results transmitted by weighing terminals. The displays operate
in the automatic mode by default (see Autolearn) and in standard installations do not require any prior configuration.
For advanced options, it is necessary to adjust the settings via the RGB WagSet 2 software or through the user menu embedded in
the device.
The RGB WagSet 2 software enables advanced configuration of the device:

precise defining of the communication protocol with any weighing terminal,

restoring the default settings, displaying the software version, displaying the saved communication protocol, and changing
the network settings,

setting the response to events reported by the weighing terminal (e.g. overloading, underloading, instability, scale error),

setting advertising text in the following languages: PL, EN, RU, DE, CZ, SK, HU, UA, LT, LV, NO, SE, FR, NL, BR, RO, ES, TR, FI.
The detailed information concerning the display configuration from a PC can be found in the manual supplied with the
RGB WagSet 2 software. The way of connecting the display to a PC is described in item 3 of this manual.
The user menu embedded in the device allows the basic display configuration without using a PC:

manual selection of the communication protocol from the list, enabling the operation with selected weighing terminals,

restoring the default settings, displaying the software version, displaying the saved communication protocol and the
communication ports, displaying the IP address and the subnet
2. Autolearn mode
The Autolearn mode is enabled by default (position no. 0 is set in the 'proto' submenu). In order to disable it, the communication
protocol must be set manually using the embedded user menu or the RGB WagSet 2 software.
When this mode is active, each time the device is started, it detects the parameters of the communication with the weighing
terminal and analyses the structure of the data frames it sends. Then it adjusts the remote display's settings to enable correct
communication with the terminal. The whole operation lasts several seconds, depending on the baud rate and the time intervals
between consecutive frames. All remote display's communication interfaces are supported, i.e. RS232/RS485/CL and the Ethernet
1
(optional interface) .
The Autolearn procedure is as follows:
1. Baud rate detection - dot 1 flashing on the display
2. Baud rate verification - dot 1 solid, dot 2 flashing
3. Analysis of the protocol and its frame structure - dots 1 and 2 solid, dot 3 flashing
During the analysis of the protocol and its frame structure, the measurement unit sent is also recognised. The following tags are
recognised - "kg" 'K' " t" 'T' 't' " g" "gr" 'G' 'g' "lb" 'L' 'l' "oz" 'o' 'O'. In case the terminal does not send a unit or sends a unit that is not
recognised by the Autolearn function, the default unit will be set. Depending on the purchased regional version, it is "kg" or "lb".
The Autolearn mode supports the following transmission parameters:
Baud rate:
Transmission parameters (data bits, parity, stop bits):
1
If first the data is sent via the Ethernet to the display and then one of the other interfaces, i.e. RS232 / RS485 / CL is connected - the Autolearn procedure will be carried out again in
order to determine the UART parameters and the protocol (the protocol for serial interfaces may differ from the Ethernet protocol).
