1 .1 INTRODUCTION

1 .1 .1 General DescriptionThe DXp-40 transmitter (Figure 1-1) is a microproces-sor based device designed to convert the mV/V signalfrom up to four individual strain gage type forcetransducers (load cells) into a digital signal repre-senting force, weight, or percent of spanmeasurement units . Individually regulated, fault pro-tected 10 Vdc excitation is supplied to eachtransducer . Units operate at either 115 or 230 Vac .Standard DXp-40 transmitters are housed in NEMA 4enclosures . NEMA 4X or explosion-proof enclosuresare available as options . The digital RS-485 serialoutput port is configured for various baud rate andprotocol selections using a series of DIP switches .Entry of calibration data, diagnostic parameters, andfilter selections is accomplished using a series ofpushbutton switches . Figure 1-2 presents an overallflow diagram for establishing the calibration and sys-tem operating parameters which will be discussed inthe following chapters . An internal multi-line LCD dis-play is provided for viewing the setup sequence,diagnostic information, and live operation .

Instrument features include an RS 485 serial port withBLH Digi-System network or a simplex output proto-col, four A/D converter channels, 10 volt excitation perchannel, digital filter, and a NEMA 4 mild steel,painted enclosure . Standard instruments are de-signed to meet Class I, II, Division 2, Group A-Ghazardous location requirements .

1 .1 .2 On-Line DiagnosticsWeigh system diagnostics can be communicated fromthe DXp-40 serial port to a host computer . This realtime information regarding system performance en-ables the host process computer to notify an operatorand/or re-configure the system to go into degradedmode operation .

1 .1 .3 Dynamic Digital FilterThe dynamic digital filter uses statistical charac-terization of process noise to derive optimum filteringsettings . Once the noise is characterized, the opera-tor selects the combination of averaging and filtercutoff bands needed to maintain both display stabilityand fast response time for better set point control .

1 .1 .4 Digital CalibrationDigital calibration uses a factory calibration curve em-bedded in firmware to establish a reference betweenweight (force) and mVN. This allows an operator toset-up and calibrate a weigh system without the needfor deadweights or other time consuming calibrationmethods . For systems with mechanical interactions,this calibration method can be modified to correct forsystem non-linearities

1 .2.4 MODBUS RTU ProtocolMODBUS is often recognized as an industry standardmethod of digital communication protocol between amaster or host computer and a slave device . Thisprotocol was originally developed by Modicon to com-municate discrete and analog information .-betweenPLCs. As implemented in the DXp-40, this protocolefficiently communicates weight and diagnostics infor-mation to a MODBUS driver equipped host .

1 .2.5 Allen-Bradley Remote I/O Network InterfaceThe Allen-Bradley Remote I/O interface is a communi-cation link that supports remote, time critical I/Ocontrol communications between a master processorand a remote I/O slave . It is typically used to transferI/O bit images between the master and slave .

3.3 DIGITAL CALIBRATION

3.3.1 Load Cell Calibration DataIndividual channels and embedded mVM-calibration -curves make it possible to calibrate a DXp-40 by sim-ply entering mVN equivalent force or weight valuesfrom a load cell calibration sheet (Figure 3-4) . A calsheet presents the load cell mVN output reading foreither 3 or 10 known weight values . The highestweight value recorded should match the rated capac-ity of the load cell . Note that there is also a 0 or noload mVN output recorded . Each load cell must haveits own cal sheet (match serial number on sheet toserial number on cell) in order to perform mVN calibration .

If cal sheets are not available, use deadloadtype calibration .

3.3.2 Entering mVN Calibration PointsFollowing Figure 3-5 instructions, select a load celland enter the zero balance (no load) mVN value . Af-ter zero balance is established, enter the load pointpound and load point mVN value for each test pointon the calibration certificate. Repeat this procedurefor each load cell before advancing to `Acquire Dead-load?' (next paragraph) . Note that load cells arenumbered according to their channel connection posi-tion (Figure 2-2).

3.3.3 Acquire DeadloadAfter all mVN load points are entered, a scale zeroreference must be acquired. Deadload zero deter-mines the weight or signal output at which thescale/system is in no load condition . Addition of anyingredient weight will be referenced from this point toproduce accurate live weight readings . Following Fig-ure 3-6 instructions, acquire the deadload value byeither entering a known weight value for all scale/sys-tem components (manual) or letting the DXp-40 readand store the no load signal (live) . When all cal sheetspan points are entered and deadload acquired, mVNcalibration is complete .

3.4 DEADLOAD TYPE CALIBRATION

Deadload calibration (Figure 3-7) uses known value'true' weights to establish calibration span points .Often, only one true weight, value is needed sincewater or other material can be subsfitufed "incremen-tally for that value.

3.4.1 Perform Corner Test (Sensitivity Adjust)

NOTE: Corner adjusting requires that dead weightequaling 15% (minimum) of scale capacity be loadedat each comer. Since applying/shifting this much deadweight is not practical for most tank based weigh sys-tems, comer adjustment is usually performed only onplatform scales .

NOTE: Corner testing is not required on systems us-ing transducers with matched outputs or systemswhere the load distribution is not likely to change .

With multiple simultaneous A/D conversion technologyit is possible to 'balance' or corner adjust the systemtransducers . Comer adjustment ensures accurateweight readings even when the scale is loaded offcenter . Choose YES if comer adjustment is desired .Systems that do not experience load distributionchanges

ically do not require comer adjustment .

Comer testing optimizes scale performance by learn-ing and compensating for the actual relationshipbetween each transducer's output based upon varyingload distribution . Perform corner testing by placing aknown value weight on the scale/system directlyabove or as close as possible to each transducer asinstructed in Figure 3-7 . Position the weight abovetransducer #1 (channel 1) and acquire . Repeat theprocess for each subsequent transducer. After eachtransducer has 'felt' the weight, the DXp-40 will storethe reaction pattern . This pattern becomes a refer-ence for balancing live weight readings. Comertesting is ideal for systems/scales where ingredientsmay shift or loads move.

3.4.2 Acquire Zero

Acquire zero is the first step in deadload calibrating aweigh system. Acquire zero removes the weightvalue of system equipment (tank, platform, mixers,motors, etc .) and establishes a zero reference point.All live weight transactions will be referenced to thispoint. Remove any unessential equipment from thescale/system and follow instructions presented in Fig-ure 3-7 (second page) .

3.4.3 Span Point Entry

Once zero is established a span point (or points) mustbe entered to complete calibration (Figure 3-7 secondpage). The simplest form of deadload calibration con-sists of acquiring zero and entering one span point,preferably the full scale capacity value . To accommo-date more sophisticated systems, the DXp-40provides up to 10 span point entries . Weigh systemscan be fully linearized, or tuned, by entering knownlive weight span points between zero and capacity.Enter span points from the lowest to the highestweight value ; do not attempt to enter a point valuelower than the previous entry. When deadloading tofull capacity is impractical, the DXp-40 accurately in-terpolates all weight values between the last spanpoint and capacity .

4.3 ZERO OPERATION

A new zero can be acquired to compensate forchanges in the dead load of the system due to heelbuild-up etc . Acquiring a new zero reference valuedoes not affect the slope of the calibration . The"zerofunction in the DXp-40 can be configured for OFF,2%, 20%, or 100% of system capacity (see Setup Pa-rameters in SECTION VI Calibration) . Zero may beacquired only if the system is not in motion and thezero band limit has not been exceeded (when ZEROis visible on the display).

4.4 NET WEIGHT WEIGHING

Net weight weighing is used when the operator wantsto reset zero to compensate for the addition of liveweight, or a container, before adding a specificamount of material . Tare is used to establish a zeroreference in net mode .

4.5 TARE OPERATION

With the DXp-40 in net weighing mode, the tare op-eration resets the output to zero. Taring allows theoperator to achieve a new zero reference before addi-tion of each ingredient so that errors do not becomecumulative .

5.1 GENERAL

Digital filtering (including motion) constitutes the firstset of parameter entries in the main menu (Figure 5-1,unshaded) . Digital filtering combines moving averag-ing (filter) with response and noise bands to eliminatevibration and agitation noise from dynamic processweighing systems. Filtering removes unwanted, me-chanically induced fluctuations from the weight signalwhile maintaining rapid response to genuine liveweight changes.

SECTION VDynamic Digital Filters

5.2 FILTER PARAMETERS

Each filter component has adjustable parameters (Fig-ure 5-2) so that every weigh system can be `tuned' toits own unique environment.

NOTE: Using diagnostic software, it is recommendedthat the statistically calculated noise characteristic pa-rameters such as standard deviation, etc., be used asa basis for initial filter set-up .

5.3 DYNAMIC FILTER

Dynamic Digital Filter software is an advanced seriesof filtering algorithms for attenuating random weighsignal noise . Using the pre-filtered . signal. , . from thestandard filter, the Dynamic Filter applies a two stepapproach (Noise Band and Response Band) to adap-tively reduce the noise components of the weighsignal without adversely affecting system dynamics(Figure 5-3).The resulting real time weigh signal pro-vides stable weight information for high resolutionindication and precise control over a broad spectrumof mechanical and electrical disturbances.

5.3.1 Band FilterBand Filter is an exponential software filter which isapplied only to signal fluctuations which fall within theNoise and Response band limits . The Band Filter isfully applied to signal fluctuations which fall within theNoise Band. For signal changes which fall outside theNoise Band but within the Response Band, proprietarystatistical analysis algorithms are applied to the BandFilter resulting in progressively lower dampening pro-portional to time within the Response Band anddirection of signal change. For signal changes whichfall outside both Noise and Response bands, theBand Filter is canceled . This allows heavy dampeningof system noise while maintaining quick response tochanges in weight signals . The Band Filter length' isselectable at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 seconds .The equivalent frequency attenuation is as follows :

*Filter length is the time for an instant change to befully reflected at the output.

5.3.2 Noise BandNoise band is the + and - limit of the ampli-tude fluctuations in weigh signal due toexternal electrical or mechanical influences .For changes in signal amplitude equal to orless than the Noise Band limit, the Band Filteris fully applied for maximum dampening . Inmany applications, the standard deviation, de-termined by the Noise Test (paragraph 6.2.4),can be used to establish the value of theNoise Bar.d . Under the Noise Test menu, viewthe standard deviation without any filtering ap-plied . For 68% attenuation (1 sigma filter),select the largest value and round it up to anenterable value for the Noise Band.

IL-,Band

(

Page 5-3

For 99% attenuation (3 sigma filter), multiply the larg-est standard deviation value by 3 and round it up toan enterable value for the Noise Band. Noise Bandamplitude selections are from 0 (off) to 250 displaycounts (display resolution) .

5.3.3 Response BandResponse band is t;ie + and - limit in terms of theamplitude of changes in weight signal outside theNoise Band limit . Response allows quick response tosmall changes in weigh signals outside the NoiseBand but within the Response Band . For changes insignal amplitude equal to or less than the ResponseBand limit, the Band Filter is applied with progres-sively lower dampening effect to allow responsivechanges in weigh signal . Response Band amplitudeselections are from 0 (off) to 250 display counts (dis-play resolution) . It is recommended that the NoiseBand setting be multiplied by 1, 2, 3, or 4 to get theResponse Band setting . With the vessel in a steadystate, set the Noise Band according to the standarddeviation value . With the Response Band set to zeroany spikes that fall outside the Noise Band will causethe displayed or transmitted weight to jitter. Increasethe Response Band setting until the jitter disappears.

The two bands work together to separate systemnoise from true change in weigh signal achievinghigher accuracy and more dependable data for controlpurposes .

5.3.4 Default ParametersAll DXp-40 transmitters (even those without the dy-namic filter) are shipped with these default para-meters : band filter = 32 seconds, noise band = 1, andresponse band = 4.

5.4 MOTION DETECTION (Standard)

Motion detection parameters are -entered along -withfiltering parameters (Figure 5-2). Motion simply deter-mines when the system is active and when it is not.Tare and push to zero functions should not (and can-not if motion is selected) be implemented when thesystem is in motion . Motion can be configured forbandwidth of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, or 50 counts, or turnedOFF. Once a band is selected, a time length (win-dow) also must be established for the band. Motionmust occur for the designated time interval before thesystem acknowledges an 'in motion' condition.

The motion timer is the time the system remains in an"in motion" condition after returning to a "not in mo-tion" condition.

5.5 OPTIONAL SECOND FILTER

If the remote input option (paragraph 2.3.6) is in-stalled, two sets of filtering parameters may beentered . Dual filters provide optimal control for sys-tems with changing process dynamics . With thedisplay reading 'DIGITAL FILTER SETUP?', pressYES for filter 1, and press YES again for filter 2. En-ter parameters for both filters as previously described.Filter selection is accomplished using remote digital in-put number 4. When input number 4 (DIG 4) is low(grounded), filter 2 is selected; high selects filter 1 .

6.1 GENERAL

The next step in the DXp-40 main menu is diagnosticerror analysis and parameter entry (Figure 6-1) . Theunique quad A/D converter design makes it possibleto diagnose system errors down to the exact load cell .Each load cell is continually checked for open cir-cuit/wiring, zero shifts, drift, and overload . DXp-40diagnostics also detect system malfunctions such asstructure shifts, impact shock loads, and ingredientbuild up problems (heel checks).

Evaluate Load Shift Error

Load shifts can be caused by many things, among afew are : heel build up on one side of a tank, supportstructure changes introducing more force from con-nected pipes or process equipment, excessivedeflection of a support leg, or faulty signal from theload cell .

Check the system structure above that cell for evi-dence of weight shift . If physical evidence does notpoint to a structural or content error, see if the cell hasfailed any of the other diagnostic tests .

Zero shift test failures typically result in load cells thathave been damaged by overloading or electrical leak-age. Either of these factors can cause a permanentshift in a cell's zero reference. If a cell fails the zeroshift test, check to see if the overload peak has ex-ceeded acceptable tolerance levels.

6.2.7 Degrade Mode Function

If a diagnostic test identifies one or more load cells inthe system as providing faulty data, it is possible us-ing degrade mode operation to eliminate theerroneous data from the cell(s) contributing todha sys-tem weight measurement. Since the DXp-40measures each channel independently and digitallysums the weight information, degraded mode opera-tion shuts of the actual measurement from thesuspect channel(s) and uses a calculated digital sub-stitute value, corrected for system balance andchannel sensitivity. The resulting system performancewill be reduced somewhat, but will still be compen-sated for load imbalance . This mode of operationmakes it possible to continue weigh system operationwith minimal interruption .

To activate degraded mode operation it is necessaryto shut-of the suspect channel using the Cell Enablemenu (Figure 6-10) accessed via the keypad . It is notpossible to automatically activate this mode intemallyor remotely through the serial port.

Prior to degrade mode operation, a degrade mode ref-erence must be established . This referenceestablishes individual cell characteristics for use in fu-ture degrade mode operation . To enter the referencepoint, perform the following :

' 7.1 GENERAL

The DXp-40 is equipped with a variety of standardand optional serial output formats that are selectedusing a series of DIP switches (Figure 7-1) . DIPswitch positions 1, 2, and 3 (Table 7-1) allow four for-mat choices ; Digi-System Network, continuous output,terminal/computer interface, and MODBUS RTU. Al-len-Bradley Remote I/O is available as an option, butrequires different documentation (see page 7-9) . Alltypes of DXp interfacing will be discussed in the fol-lowing paragraphs. Positions 4-7 designatetransmitter address for applications requiring morethan one DXp unit (Table 7-2) . Switch position 8 isunused and should be left in the '0' (ON) position .

7.1.1 LCp-400 Digi System Network.Up to 16 DXp-40 transmitters can be networked to theLCp-400 Network Controller. The half duplex formatused to run the network is designed to provide remoteoperation of gross, net, tare, zero, and diagnostics, athigh speed . This format is not intended for direct inter-face with a terminal or computer. The baud rate is se-lectable to accommodate systems with very long (lowbaud) or short (high baud) distances between DXpunits .

7.1 .2 Standard Simplex Output (ContinuousOutput).The simplex output format is designed to transmitgross weight data (ASCII coded) to a remote terminalor computer. The accuracy of this point to point, digi-tal communication interface is much greater thansimple analog current or voltage approximates . Sim-plex outputs are transmitted in the format on page7-2, top left-hand column .

7.1.3 Optional Computerrrerminal Interface .This half duplex (transmit and receive) format is de-signed for two way communication between a singleDXp-40, or a network of DXp-40 units, and a com-puter/terminal . Protocol accommodates all operationssuch as gross, net, tare, zero, as well as remote filterselection . Use of this format requires customer devel-oped, device specific software to run the variousnetwork operations . Table 7-3 defines the terminal in-terface protocol .

Note 1

Remote filter settings are not stored in EEPROM and will revert to EEPROM settings upon power down.

Note 2

Remote filter length is averaging applied to raw data before band or response is applied .Remote filter band has its own variable filter (band filt) which is applied to delta data that remainswithin the +/- band. Data remains within the band if the difference between the current data and thelast averaged data is less than or equal to the band setting.

Remote filter response setting is added to the noise band setting . Ifthe change in value from one conversionto the next exceeds the noise band and falls within the response band, the following takes place : the first timedata falls within the response band, the full noise band filter is applied . Ify on subsequent conversions,the change in value still falls within the response band, the noise band filter is progressively reduced untilit reaches a length of 50 msec, at which point the noise band filter is restarted at the current weight value .

When changing data is outside both the noise and response bands, the noise band filter is reset and restarted.

MODBUS Configuration Parameters

7.1 .5 Optional Allen Bradley Remote 1/OThis interface option uses Allen Bradley componentsin the DXp-40 to establish a remote I/0 network com-munication link to the PLC 5 series of programmablelogic controllers . To the PLC, the DXp-40 represents1/4 rack of discrete I/0 with 32 bits of input and outputimage files. All weight and status data uses discretereads and writes to communicate scale information tothe PLC in the shortest time possible. Non time criti-cal information such as higher level diagnostics relyupon block transfers.

8.3 OPTIONAL DISCRETE INPUTS andOUTPUTS

8.3.1 InputsRemote initiation of zero, tare, gross/net, and a twoposition digital filter can be : accomplished=-using-theoptional remote input connections (Figure 8-3). Re-mote inputs can be triggered by 12-24 Vdc inputsignals (,DIAL A - common output rating on manyPLCs), open collector TTL devices (DIAL B), or otherrelays (DIAL C) .

Open collector TTL and 12-24 VDC inputs are en-abled in the logic low ('0') state . Logic low voltage isless than 5 Vdc and current sinking capability must beno less than 3 mA. For a logic high ('1'), the voltagerange is 10 to 28 Vdc. IfTTL triggering is desired,open collector componentsMUST be used.
