Configuring the Interface
Configure the UniCOM universal data
interface for the desired operating
mode by selecting the corresponding
settings in the operating menu of
the indicator (i.e., for connection of
a peripheral device or printer).
The illustration on the left shows the
relevant section of the operating menu.
RS-485/RS-422 Interface
If the PCB is configured for the
RS-422 operating mode, the "SBI" and
"xBPI-232" menu items are available.
Analog Interface
Select menu settings to define which
value is output and how error messages
are shown.
– Output value:
Net value (factory setting)
or
Gross value
– Error display:
High level (20 mA) (factory setting)
or
Low level (0/4 mA): With this setting,
there are 5 V on this interface during
operation
The selection of Min. and Max. values
lets you define the weighing range for
output from the 0/4 to 20mA current
interface.
The Min. and Max. values are always
defined in kilograms. You can enter
negative values if desired. You can also
specify a Min. value that is greater than
the Max. value, if descending current
output is desired.
Examples:
Ascending current curve
Min. value, net: -1 kg
Max. value, net: 4 kg
Descending current curve for
xBPI balance
Min. value: 5 kg
Max. value: 1 kg
Descending current curve for
SBI balance
Min. value: 5 kg
Max. value: 1 kg
Profibus Interface
Set the bus address in the operating
menu (0 to 126, factory setting: 126).
Ethernet Interface
Enter the required numbers in the
UNICOM menu under Ethernet
> Source IP, Ethernet > ListenPort, etc.
Under "Source name" you can enter
letters and numbers. Enter up to
15 characters.
Port numbers
Range: 0 – 65535
Because many of the ports up to 49150
are already allocated, we recommend
using numbers higher than 49150.
This does not apply for Modbus/TCP,
as port number 502 is used here (see the
operating instructions for the field bus
module). Profibus/ Ethernet Interface:
