Counterpart Configurable Counting Indicator

1.3 Capacities and Resolutions
Table 1-1 lists the scale capacities and resolutions for all part numbered models of Counterpart.
Counting scales show two types of resolution:
· Weight (or external) resolution · Counting (or internal) resolution Weight resolution displays in divisions of the full scale capacity, which is divided into weight increments. For example, a 5 lb scale divided into 10,000 display divisions would display weight with 0.0005 lb divisions (10,000 divisions x 0.0005 lb = 5.0 lb).
Counting resolution is based on the internal resolution of the scale. The default weight and counting resolutions for Counterpart capacities are shown below.

Platform Capacity
5.0 lb (2 kg) 10 lb (5 kg) 25 lb (10 kg) 50 lb (20 kg) 100 lb (50 kg)

Description Allows configuration and calibration of each scale Allows configuration and calibration of scale 3
See Calibration Menu (Figure 3-8 on page 36)
Specifies the number of full scale graduations; The value entered must be in the range 1100000 and should be consistent with legal requirements and environmental limits on system resolution; To calculate GRADS, use the formula: GRADS = Capacity / Display Divisions; Display divisions are specified under the FORMAT sub-menu Select a primary, secondary, and tertiary unit of measure; Sub-choices include lb, kg, oz, and g; See Format menu (Figure 3-9 on page 37)
Enable/disable weigh accumulation; See Figure 5.9 on page 71 for information
Automatically zeros the scale when within the range specified, as long as the input is within the ZRANGE and scale is at standstill; Specify the zero tracking band in ± display divisions; Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations Note: For scales using linear calibration, do not set the zero tracking band to a value greater than that specified for the first linearization point. Selects the range within which the scale can be zeroed; The 1.900000 default value is ± 1.9% around the calibrated zero point, for a total range of 3.8%. Indicator must be at standstill to zero the scale; Use the default value for legal-for-trade applications Sets the level, in display divisions, at which scale motion is detected; If motion is not detected for 1 second or more, the standstill symbol lights; Some operations, including print, tare, and zero, require the scale to be at standstill; Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations; If this parameter is set to 0 the standstill annunciator does not light; Operations normally requiring standstill (zero, tare, print) are performed regardless of scale motion; If 0 is selected, ZTRKBND must also be set to 0 Overload; Determines the point at which the display blanks and an out-of-range error message displays; Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations
Specifies the length of time the scale must be out of motion, in 0.1-second intervals, before the scale is considered to be at standstill; Values greater than 10 are not recommended; Selects the digital filtering rate used to reduce the effects of mechanical vibration from the immediate area of the scale. The overall filtering effect can be expressed by adding the values assigned to the three filter stages: DFLTR1 + DFLTR2 + DFLTR3 See Section 9.6 on page 96 for information on digital filtering; Choices indicate the number of AD conversions per update that are averaged to obtain the displayed reading; A higher number gives a more accurate display by minimizing the effect of a few noisy readings, but slows down the settling rate of the indicator
Digital filter cutout sensitivity; Specifies the number of consecutive readings that must fall outside the filter threshold (DFTHRH parameter) before digital filtering is suspended

Description Digital filter cutout threshold. Specifies the filter threshold, in display divisions; When a specified number of consecutive scale readings (DFSENS parameter) fall outside of this threshold, digital filtering is suspended; If NONE is selected, the filter is always enabled
Sample rate; Selects measurement rate, in samples per second, of the analog-to-digital converter; Lower sample rate values provide greater signal noise immunity
Power up mode; In GO mode, the indicator goes into operation immediately after a brief power up display test; In DELAY mode, the indicator performs a power up display test and then enters a 30-second warm-up period; If no motion is detected during the warm-up period, the indicator becomes operational when the warm-up period ends; If motion is detected, the delay timer is reset and the warm-up period is repeated Enables or disables push-button and keyed tares; Possible values are: BOTH: Both push-button and keyed tares are enabled NOTARE: No tare allowed (gross mode only) PBTARE: Push-button tares enabled KEYED: Keyed tare enabled Accumulator; Specifies whether the scale accumulator is enabled; If enabled, accumulation occurs whenever a print operation is performed; Scale must return to zero to re-arm a new print Enter a value to be used as divisions; Select Zero threshold to display a threshold or reset point where automatic printing functions reset themselves to be retriggered; When a value is entered, anything that would normally require the scale to reach zero before it happens/rearms (except for LFT parameters) now only needs to go below this value and then above it again

4.0 Calibration

The Counterpart can be calibrated using the front panel, EDP commands, or Revolution.
NOTE: Calibration can be performed in two places within the menu: the CALIBR menu shown in Figure 4-1 and the SCALE sub-menu shown in Figure 3-7 on page 33. CALIBR menu in Figure 4-1 is a “quick access” calibration. For an
in-depth scale setup and calibration, use the menus found under SETUP/CONFIG/SCALE (Figure 3-7 on page 33).
Calibration consists of the following steps: · Zero calibration · Entering the test weight value · Span calibration · Optional five-point linearization · Optional rezero calibration for test weights using hooks or chains
NOTE: The Counterpart requires the WZERO and WSPAN points to be calibrated. The linearity points are optional, but must
not duplicate zero or span. During calibration, the TARE acts as a data entry confirmation key. The soft calibrate key accepts that value.

NOTE:To view the new AD count, navigate back to the WSPAN, and repeat Step 6; however, instead of pressing the Calibrate softkey while viewing the value, press Save/Exit to exit.
4.2 Five-point Linearization
Five-point linearization (using the WLIN parameter) provides increased scale accuracy by calibrating the indicator at up to five additional points between the zero and span calibrations.
Linearization is optional: To not perform linearization, skip the WLIN parameter; if linearization values have previously been entered, these values are reset to zero during calibration. WZERO and WSPAN must be calibrated before adding linearization points; WLIN values must be less than the WSPAN value and must not duplicate WZERO or WSPAN.
To perform linearization, follow the procedure below:
With WLIN displayed, press Down to go to the first linearization point (POINT 1) and then press Down again to show the weight value prompt (WGT 1). Then press Down to show the weight value. Place test weights on the scale, and use the numeric keypad to enter the actual test weight value. Press Enter to save the value and move to the calibration (CAL 1) prompt. Press down to show the current calibration value, and then press the Calibrate softkey to calibrate the linearization point. When complete, the AD count for the linear calibration displays. Press Enter again to save calibration value and go to the next prompt (POINT 2).
Repeat for up to five linearization points. To exit the linearization parameters, press the Up key to return to WLIN.
4.3 Rezero
The optional rezero function is used to remove a calibration offset when hooks or chains are used to hang the test weights.
NOTE: The rezero function cannot be used with five-point linear calibration.
If no other apparatus was used to hang the test weights during calibration, remove the test weights and press Up to return to the CALIBR sub-menu.
If hooks or chains were used during calibration, remove these and the test weights from the scale. With all weight removed, go to the REZERO parameter, and press Down to show the current zero value. Press the Calibrate softkey to adjust the zero and span calibration values. Press enter or Up to return to the CALIBR sub-menu.
Press Up to return to the SCALES menu, or press the Save and Exit softkey to exit setup mode.
4.4 EDP Command Calibration
To calibrate the indicator using EDP commands, the indicator EDP port must be connected to a terminal or personal computer. See Section 2.8.1 on page 18 for EDP port pin assignments.
Once the indicator is connected to the sending device, do the following:
1. Place the indicator in config mode (display must read SCALE — see Figure 3-7 on page 33) and remove all weight from the scale platform. For test weights that require hooks or chains, place the hooks or chains on the scale for zero calibration.
2. Send the SC.WZERO#n command to calibrate zero. The indicator displays CALIBRATING while calibration is in progress.
3. Place test weights on the scale and use the SC.WVAL#n command to enter the test weight value in the following format:
SC.WVAL=nnnnnn<CR>
4. Send the SC.WSPAN#n command to calibrate span. The indicator displays CALIBRATING while calibration is in progress.

Counterpart Configurable Counting Indicator
5. Up to five linearization points can be calibrated between the zero and span calibration values. Use the following commands to set and calibrate a single linearization point:
SC.WLIN.V1=nnnnn<CR> SC.WLIN.C1<CR>
The SC.WLIN.V1#n command sets the test weight value (nnnnn) for linearization point 1. The SC.WLIN.C1#n command calibrates the point. Repeat using the SC.WLIN.Vx and SC.WLIN.Cx commands as required for additional linearization points. 6. To remove an offset value, clear all weight from the scale, including hooks or chains used to hang test weights, and send the SC.REZERO#n command. The indicator displays CALIBRATING while the zero and span calibrations are adjusted. 7. Send the SC.KUPARROW#n or the SC.KEXIT#n EDP command to return to normal mode.
4.5 Revolution Calibration
To calibrate the indicator using Revolution, the indicator EDP port must be connected to a PC running the Revolution configuration utility.
1. Place indicator in config mode. SCALE displays (Figure 3-7 on page 33). Remove all weight from scale platform. 2. From Revolution, select File » New. The Select Indicator dialog box appears. 3. Select Counterpart and click OK. 4. From the Communications menu, select Connect. 5. From the left pane, expand the Scale selection and click the Scale button.

Select the check box if using chains or hooks during the calibration, and click NEXT. 11. Remove all weight from the scale and click Click to Calibrate Zero to begin zero calibration. For test weights that
require hooks or chains, place them on the scale for zero calibration. 12. When zero calibration is complete, the Calibration Wizard prompts user to place test weights on the scale. Place the
test weights on the scale and click Click to Calibrate Span. 13. To perform linear calibration, the Calibration Wizard now displays prompts (15). Enter the weight value for Linear
Point #1, place test weights on scale, and click GO. Repeat for additional linearization points and click NEXT. 14. The new and old calibration settings are displayed. To accept the new values, click Finish. To exit and restore the old
values, click Cancel.

4.6 More About Calibration
The following provides additional information about compensating for environmental factors (Section 4.6.1) and also provides diagnostic information for determining expected zero and span coefficients.

4.6.1 Adjusting Final Calibration Calibration may be affected by environmental factors including wind, vibration, and angular loading. For example, if the scale is calibrated with 1000 lb, a strain test may determine that at 2000 lb the calibration is 3 lb high. In this case, final calibration can be adjusted by tweaking WVAL to 998.5 lb. This adjustment provides a linear correction of 1.5 lb per 1000 lb.
To adjust the final calibration, return to the WVAL prompt and press TARE to show the test weight value. Press ZERO and

GROSS NET

to adjust calibration up or down. Press the Calibrate softkey to save the value, and press

Scale Operations

5.0 Scale Operations

The following contains detailed operator instructions for Counterpart, including instructions on how to enter tare weights, toggle between net and gross weight, enter unit weights, perform inventory accumulation and reduction and toggle between scales. All operator instructions are conducted with the scale in the operation mode that is the weighing or normal mode.
Counting scale accuracy is determined by:
· Sample size (number of pieces)
· Total sample size as a percentage of full scale capacity
· Piece-to-piece weight variation
As a general rule when determining sample size of fairly uniform pieces, the larger the sample size, the greater the total sample weight, and therefore, the better the counting accuracy. Selecting the smallest capacity scale that can obtain the highest counting resolution should be considered, but should not sacrifice the capacity required for the heaviest container of parts. For this kind of application, a dual-platform scale may be the best selection. There is a direct relationship between piece-to-piece weight variation (non-uniformity) and counting accuracy.
Therefore, elimination of the piece-to-piece weight variations can be accomplished by:
1. Isolating the sample used to calculate the unit weight and using the same sample to re-check the scale.
2. Recalculating the unit weight from lot-to-lot of parts. Parts manufactured on one machine may vary slightly from another machine relative to weight.
3. Tightening the manufacturing tolerances on the parts reduces piece weight variations and increases count accuracy.

The Stand-by Display
At the stand-by display the WEIGHT, UNIT WEIGHT, and QUANTITY displays show zeros and the annunciator for the platform is illuminated (Scale 1 or 2).

5.2 Entering Tare Weights
Tare weights can be entered in the scale by one of two methods: one-touch tare or digital tare. Digital tare is used when the tare weight is already known while one-touch tare is used when the tare weight is unknown. When an Item Code already programmed into the Counterpart memory is called up and it has a tare weight stored for that Item Code, the tare weight stored
with the Item Code will override one entered digitally or by using . TARE

2.

One-Touch Tare, Tare Unknown
If the tare weight value is not known, place the item to be tared on the scale and press TARE . The weight display should now show 0 and the Net annunciator should illuminate.
Remove the item from the scale. The weight display should show a negative weight value (weight of the tared container, box, or item).

3.
5.2.2 1.

To clear the tare weight, press TARE with no weight on the scale. The scale should be at gross zero. The Net annunciator will no longer be illuminated.
Digital Tare, Tare Weight Known
If the tare weight value is known, use the numeric keypad to key in the value and then press . TARE The Net annunciator will illuminate.

2. To reset the tare to zero, press TARE again with no weight on the scale while the scale is at gross zero and the Zero annunciator is lit.

5.3 Toggling Between Gross and Net
To toggle between net and gross weight, a tare value must be entered into the scale.
See Section 5.2 on page 61 to enter a tare value.
After a tare value is entered into the scale, items placed on the scale will cause the Net annunciator to illuminate and allow toggling between net weight and gross weight. For example:

1. Place 0.5 lb weight on the scale and then press TARE . The weight display should show 0.000 lb.
2. Place another 0.5 lb weight on the scale. The scale weight display should show 0.500 and the Net annunciator should be illuminated.
3. Press the GROSS/NET key. The weight display should show 1.000 GROSS WEIGHT, and the Net annunciator will no longer be illuminated.
4. Press the GROSS/NET key. The weight d
