A sequence consists of a number of steps. Each of these will be carried out by the operator of the weighing system, or automatically by the Weighing Terminal, depending on the type of step. Guided by messages on the display of the Weighing Terminal the operator responds with actions, such as placing items on the weigh scale, pressing keys on the keyboard, or giving inputs with a bar code reader. The Weighing Terminal will store the operator actions, which may also be part of the ticket printed on an optional ticket printer, and the data may be transferred to a database on a PC, using the PDDataCollect program. The facilities offered by the Sequence Builder program provide a powerful means of designing simple as well as complex weighing application sequences. In minutes very sophisticated sequences can be designed and downloaded to the Weighing Terminal, thus minimising the costs of engineering. As can be seen in the figure above, the sequence is edited in an intuitive, graphical environment, and no traditional programming is involved. By default no error texts are present in the controller, but it is possible to activate an error text editor from within the Sequence Builder, and afterwards download the error texts to the PD 4000 controller, in the same way as downloading the weighing sequence. 0DQXDO 6(48(1&(%8,/'(5352*5$068,7( 55028101 'UDIW Download of both passwords list and context list can be done using the Database Downloader program.

The PC is normally used as a base station, and only connected to the Weighing System for configuration and download of the sequences to the Weighing Terminal. The Sequence Builder program is installed on a standard PC running Windows 95/98/NT.

VIGO enables a physical plant to be described in terms of data, related data structures and the location of the data. Such a description is already included within VIGO for the Weighing Terminal system. For further information about the VIGO system, refer to the VIGO Users Manual, ref. no. 502086. One of the tasks of VIGO is to contain a description of the different Nodes in the system, and holds information about these Nodes, such as Node Identifier, Nets, Node address, Node type and other relevant information. It also holds information about the Nets within the project. From all this information, the communication path to the Node can be computed. Via a graphical interface this information is available for the Sequence Builder programme, from where the Weighing Terminal, Weight Transmitter(s) and RS-232 interface to be used in the project is selected just by pointing and clicking. The Weighing System for this solution consists, as a minimum, of a Weighing Terminal and a Weight Transmitter. Optionally another two Weight Transmitters, a PD 3940 RS232 Interface Module (printer, card reader) and one ore more PD 4000/3230 Weight Displays may be added to the system. 3&5HTXLUHPHQWV The Sequence Builder programme is able to run on PCs running Windows 95/98/NT.

The Controller is completely sealed, and is therefore suitable for use in any industrial environment. The compact design and the outstanding environmental specifications for the Controller, makes it exceptional for many applications. The Weighing Terminal can be configured using the Sequence Builder program. The Weighing Terminal can simultaneously hold three operator selectable sequences. Each sequence may consist of a maximum of 40 steps, holding one element each. Via the display the operator will receive messages in clear text, and respond, using the keyboard and/or an optional scanner/card reader. All important operator actions may be stored in the memory of the Weighing Terminal and may later on be transferred to a PC. The size of the memory block is 3072 database elements. When the data memory is full, old data will be overwritten (oldest data first). 'LVSOD\ The display is a fast graphics LCD, using Supertwist technology, providing wide viewing angle. The display has a resolution of 150 by 20 pixels, enabling a variety of character fonts and graphics to be used, e.g. 3 lines with 25 characters each. The viewing area is 120mm * 19.2mm.

The program is started from the Sequence Builder program, using the Error Text icon on the tool bar. Predefined error texts are available in English and in Danish language. The predefined error texts can be added to the selected sequence by clicking the preferred language in the /DQJXDJH menu, and saved as a standard user defined error text. When a full project is created, it can be saved for later use. An error text project consists of error texts for all three sequences in a Sequence Builder project.

If needed, these data may be transferred to a database on a PC, using the PDDataCollect program. PDDataCollect is a self-contained program, which must be ordered separately from PROCES-DATA A/S, and it is outside the purpose of this manual to describe the full functionality of this application. However, this chapter will show the basic setup to enable automatic data transfer from the Weighing Terminal to a standard Access database which is copied to the Weighing Terminal folder during the installation process. First of all the database template is selected. If default folders are used during the installation of the Weighing Terminal software the database template, called CollectData.mdb, will be found in the ‘C:\Program Files\Weighing Terminal’ folder. Click the open button and select the template. The template will be copied to a new file, which will be called ‘CollectData_<date>.mdb’, as seen on the screen dump above. Data will now be transferrred to the database file with the interval defined in the ‘Time between scanning’ field. In many cases it is preferred to have a new database for each day, but longer intervals between new database files may be defined. Please refer to the PDDataCollect documentation for further information. 0DQXDO 6(48(1&(%8,/'(5352*5$068,7( 55028101 'UDIW (UURUGHWHFWLRQ The system includes a comprehensive error detection and alarm function. The Weight Transmitter(s), the RS232 module and the Weighing Terminal will register possible errors. If an error occurs, an error code is generated within the module. When writing or reading data to/from a module the response message will contain the actual error status. Any error present in the module will cause an error message to be written in the display of the Weighing Terminal. Only errors from modules that are currently used in the sequence will appear on the display. If an error occurs in a module, which is not currently used, the error will not be displayed until that module is used.
