Introduction
The I/O Menu is used to enter parameters for
setpoints, current output (4-20 mA, 0-20 mA),
serial port configuration, printer functions, and
PLC interface. This chapter covers the
functions in the I/O Menu. Explanations of
each of the functions are provided. Addition-
ally, detailed navigation procedures through
the menu tree are provided for the setpoint
and current output functions.
As shown in Figure 5-1, the I/O Menu has five
submenus:
1. Setpt — used to set up setpoints to
activate or deactivate a relay
2. Iout — used to set up current outputs
3. Serl — used to set up serial communica-
tions settings for use with a PLC,
printer, etc.
4. Prnt — used to direct output to a printer
5. PLC — used to set up communications
with a PLC
SetPt
The setpoint value is the weight measurement
in a vessel where you wish a device (for
example, a pump) to activate or deactivate.
The setpoint setup functions for each vessel
are accessed in this menu. They include
adding and deleting setpoints and selecting
activation levels, high or low activation,
deadband values, fail-safe parameters, and
net or gross weight.
The Descriptions section defines each of the
parameters. The Setting Up the Setpoint and
Setpoint Report sections provide the detailed
procedures for using the Weigh II.
