will help you to quickly trace the information given in it.
Many suggestions relate to operating sequences. If possible, try out operating

sequences right away.
What Scale Do I Use ?

Clarify beforehand what scale configuration of system basic variant you wish to use.
Chapter 6 of the respective scale configuration includes all the information you need.
Whom Does This Manual Serve?

The present manual assumes that you are the daily user or a plant engineer/specialist.
Daily User
The daily user operates the system to solve weighing problems, e.g. fill weighings. He
needs no comprehensive system knowledge but should be familiar with the keyboard,
some error messages, and some items of the menu tree. At that, he should know the
parameter password which enables him to reset balance and consecutive number,
and change some parameters.
Plant Engineer/Specialist
The plant engineer/specialist commissions the system, remedies fault or works out a
solution to weighing control tasks with the aid of function blocks. To do so, he needs
comprehensive system knowledge, must be familiar with the configuration and
calibration passwords.

Safety Instructions How To Use Manual
2 Safety Instructions
To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, follow the safety regulations stated
below.
Additionally, you should observe:
• Safety hints given in order-specific documentation

• Safety hints relating to mechanical components
• Instructions given in sub-suppliers documentation.
When performing installation, commissioning and service work, observe all applicable
local regulations.
Use As Originally Intended

The measuring system and its connected mechanical components are exclusively
designed for weighing and controlling tasks. Any use other than originally intended is
considered inappropriate.
Risks
No danger originates from the measuring system itself, if it is properly installed and
commissioned.
However, upon use of the measuring system, danger may result during transit of
material to be weighed (e.g. from auxiliaries used to handle or feed material) or if
system assumes control tasks. Residual risks may originate from the measuring
system if unskilled operators improperly handle the system.
The measuring system can be part of a more complex plant. The user is fully
responsible for the overall plant safety.
Identification of Residual Risks
The presence of this symbol indicates that the machine or component

used has the potential to cause damage to the measuring system or other
plant sections.
The presence of this symbol indicates that the machine or component used
has the potential to cause severe injury or death.
Personnel
Preparation, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and servicing may
exclusively be performed by skilled persons only.
All persons working on the measuring system are required to observe the safety hints
and know the parts of the technical documentation relevant to their work.
The supervisor is responsible for instructing his operators to observe all regulations
and instructions given.

Safety Instructions How To Use Manual
Parameter Changes
The measuring system's functionality is determined by parameters, which must
exclusively be changed by persons familiar with the measuring system operating
principles (e.g. after training by SCHENCK). Parameters incorrectly set may cause
injuries or damage to the machine whenever a user control system is connected. They
can also adversely affect weighing operation.
Password
Software parameters are protected from unintended change by password. The
measuring system user has to ensure safe password handling.
Error Message Acknowledgement

Error messages may be acknowledged only after cause of fault has been remedied.
Before you acknowledge an error message, check to see that connected peripherals
properly operate. Check to see that connected control systems, if any, are in fail-safe
state.
Maintenance and Repair
• During maintenance and repair, observe any warning symbols on the scale.
• Before performing work on the mechanical system or peripherals (particularly
the control system), disconnect the measuring system and protect the system
from inadvertent restart.
• Before performing work on the electrical equipment, disconnect the power
supply.
• The devices may be operated only in the provided housings. There is danger
of contacting live parts.
Moisture Protection
Protect all system parts, electrical items in particular, from moisture (e.g. during
maintenance and servicing) when housings are open. Observe housing protection
standards.
Modification & Replacement

Unauthorized modifications to the system and/or use of replacement parts not
supplied by SCHENCK voids SCHENCK's liability for any resulting damages. This
particularly applies to modifications, which have the potential to affect the operating
safety of the measuring system.
Replacement of Components
Spare parts must meet the technical specifications indicated by SCHENCK. To ensure
this requirement is met, only genuine SCHENCK spare parts should be used. When
using other spare parts, the warranty will be void.

Safety Instructions Information for Users of Certified Scales
2.1 Information for Users of Certified Scales
Requirements of non-legal-for-trade additional equipment/EDP

systems employed in commercial applications.
Legal situation
For use in commercial applications, measuring results must be acquired using certified
measuring systems.
The transfer of measurement values to non-legal-for-trade additional equipment *)
"EDP Systems" for the preparation of vouchers is permitted under the proviso that
- the scale or a verified (certified) piece of additional equipment records and stores the
measurement values in unchanged and undeletable fashion,
- measurement values can be accessed by both parties of the commercial
transaction.
The weighing system user is responsible for compliance with legal

requirements.
*)
According to the Weights & Measures regulations, additional equipment and
measurement systems are treated alike. Verification Act and Verification Ordinance
consider this predicament and pose demands on the EDP systems and programs
used in commercial applications.
Requirements on EDP connection / Measurement value acquisition and

preparation of vouchers:
1) Call for legal-for-trade measurement values (ensure legal-for-trade data

saving):
- The call for a legal-for-trade measurement value must meet the requirements given
in SCHENCK manuals BV-H2310 (s. EDP Format) and BV-H2316 (s. EDP
Commands).
- When changing the prompting mode from EDP to scale, always check to see if
data saving properly operates.
- The use of measurement values for any voucher without previous legal-for-trade
data saving, e.g. in case of error message, is prohibited and will constitute an
offence to the Weights & Measures regulations.

Safety Instructions Information for Users of Certified Scales
2) Identification of measurement values:

- For traceability, the legal-for-trade measurement values - from legal-for-trade data
memory to voucher - must be complete with relevant identifications (attributes),
e.g.
• Date
• Time
• Cons. No.
- The voucher must include the following comments: "Measurement values from
freely programmable additional equipment. Legal-for-trade memory values
can be viewed."
3) Period of legal-for-trade data saving:

- The storage period for legal-for-trade measurement values is minimum 3 months.
When storing new measurement values ever after, the oldest measurement value
is overwritten. Storage periods > 3 months can be set.

DISOMAT Overview Characteristics
3 DISOMAT Overview
3.1 Characteristics
DISOMAT is a weighing terminal designed for automatic weight acquisition, control
functions and data processing. This compact system combines all essential functions
of a weighing terminal.
As a rule, the system is supplied legal-for-trade.
You will know a legal-for-trade system by its labels (M on green ground, CE

label with year of initial verification).
In certified applications, the Weights & Measures regulations have to be

observed.
The DISOMAT basic variant comprises multiple function variants (scales) of different
functionality:
• Filling Scale with fill control for filling into a hopper

• Discharge Scale with fill control for removal from a hopper
• Crane Scale
• Cargo Scale
• Road Weighbridge ZEUS
For detailed information of all function variants, please refer to chapter 6.

DISOMAT Overview Control Elements

3.2.3 Keyboard
A) 'DISOMAT Opus'
In the DISOMAT keyboard, there are three blocks of keys, i.e. 'input block', 'control
block' and 'operating block' (from left to right):
• The input block keys serve i.a. for input of figures, letters (capital and lower-
case) and signs.
• The control block keys are used for data input, navigation in menu tree and
as function keys.
• The operating block keys are used to operate the scale.
The tables below reflect all possible keys, or key combinations. It may be that a
certain key or key combination is defined only in the one or other operating state.
Input Block Key Functions

DISOMAT Overview External Control Elements
3.3 External Control Elements

3.3.1 External Keyboard
The optional displaced keyboard comprises all functions described above. Keys are
lettered with the use of the same symbols.
Exceptions:
• Function 'ABORT': Start the Abort function by using the top left [Esc] key.
• Function 'Acknowledge event'
• Function 'Display test'
3.4 Control Concept

As already mentioned, there are two operating states: 'Home Position' (Weight
Display) and 'Menu Tree'.
'Home Position' is the operating state which holds available the system functions that
can be executed via key or key combination and are primarily used in daily operation.
The 'Menu Tree' permits access to a high number of functions that cannot be
executed by key operation and are available only after selection from a menu system.
A part of these functions also concerns daily operation, the dominant part, however, is
used for system setting and can be accessed only with the use of a password
hierarchy.
As you can see, functions of both operating states are used in daily operation with no
need for password input. System setting is exclusively done in 'Menu Tree' operating
state and requires password input in every case.
The dependance on password input leads from the distinction of operating states to
the distinction of operating modes and thus to a clearer system description.

DISOMAT Overview General Control
'Normal Mode' (see Chapter 4) comprises the functionality used in daily operation
without password input.
The daily user uses
• Home position functions

• Menu tree functions
'Setting Mode' (see Chapter 5) comprises the functionality required for system setting
and protected by a graded password system. Depending on system type, a special
password must be entered. There are the following classes of password:
• Parametrization
• Configuration
• Calibration
3.5 General Control

While the operation in 'Home Position' is reduced to comparatively few keys, the use
of the versatile functions in the 'Menu Tree' operating state requires detailed system
knowledge.
Despite its complex functionality, the system is relatively easy to handle thanks to the
small number of elementary operating sequences. As you will come across these
sequences, again and again, we explain them in detail in this chapter. In the chapters
to follow, the actual functionality is presented in the form of 'catalog' items.
The display is used to input and output scale information and manually operate the
scale functions in the form of dialogs.

3.5.1 Menu Tree

3.5.1.1 Operating Principle
To be able to manually operate the versatile DISOMAT functions, an easy-to-handle

access method is used. All functions are comprised in a hierarchical system (similar to
the Windows menu). Their representation in form of a tree structure (that where the
name 'Menu Tree' stems from) shows how the functions are comprised and can be
accessed (see schematic below).
Every square corresponds to a menu item (=function). Depending on the extent of

downstream functionality, a menu tree can branch to further sub-menues (up to 4
levels).
As you can see, the menu system is called up from home position, and exit brings you
back there. To do so, or to navigate in menu tree, simply move UP or DOWN, or to the
LEFT and to the RIGHT. This is reflected by the double arrows connecting all menu
items; on the same level with horizontal, between levels with vertical arrows.
This form of menu tree representation has been selected intentionally. To be able to
execute one of the many functions, you must be able to select them. This is done in
the dialog field. If you keep the following image in mind, you can see that you have to
move in menu tree only until the desired function appears on display. The two lines of
the dialog field are a sort of window, for you to view the menu tree passing by
(comparable to the principle of a microfilm reader).
For you to know in which direction you have to move, every menu item is assigned an
unambiguous number (coordinates) reflecting their position in menu tree. You will

know level 1 menu items (main items) by a 1-digit number, level 2 menu items by a 2-
digit number, and so forth.
For you to recognize whether the menu item hides a single function of a menu with
further function, menu tree texts differ by capital and lower case letters, e.g.
• 'Password Input' is a function

• 'FUNCTION BLOCKS' is a menu.
Once you have selected a function for display in the dialog field, you must still start it.
3.5.1.2 Calling Function
Follow these steps:
1. Change from 'Home Position' operating state to 'Menu Tree'.

2. Display desired function (if need be, enter password).
3. Start function.
4. Operate function dialog.
5. Exit function or abort.
6. If need be, execute further functions.
7. Return to 'Home Position' operating state.
Ad 1., 2. and 7.
Call/exit menu tree and select function using the DIRECTION KEYS:
[DOWN arrow] key:

In home position: Call menu tree
Im menu tree: Move one level down (call sub-menu)
[UP arrow] key:

Exit menu tree (from level 1)
Im menu tree: Move one level up (exit sub-menu)
[Left arrow] key:

Move to the left to next same-level menu item *)
[Right arrow] key:

Move to the left to next same-level menu item *)
*) The menu items of a level are arranged in 'ring-shaped' fashion, e.g. all you have to
do is operate these keys as many times as required for desired menu item to appear
on display.
Once you have selected function, number and name of the relevant menu is output
in the display.

Ad 3.
Start selected function:
[ENTER] key:
Start function
Once you have started function, number and name of its menu appear in the upper
dialog line.
In the lower dialog line, a note is displayed on the left (e.g. 'Fixed Tare') right next to
the input/output field. (Enter e.g. Fixed1).
Wherever a menu tree function is described in the following chapters of

manual, it is assumed that the function has been started as described above.
Ad 4.
For sequences and special features of dialog control and data input, see item to
follow.
Ad 5. and 6.
Exit function using the following keys:
[OK] key:
With output function: Exit function.
With input function: Exit function and acquire inputs.
[ABORT] key:
With output function: Abort function.
+ With input function: Abort function and reject inputs.
Upon exit of function, DISOMAT returns to its state before call, i.e. you are still in
menu tree, can restart selected function or select a new one.
Ad 7.
To return to 'Home Position' (Weight Display) operating state, press key [UP arrow] as
many times as required, or go to home position direct by using key combination
[SHIFT]+[UP arrow]. Entered password, if any, is no longer valid.
3.5.2 Data Input/Output

In addition to basic weighing functions and functions with direct effect (e.g.
'35:'PrintRepeat'), system operation is realized using inputs and outputs in the
display.
• You can either display the weight alone or alternately with various system
information in the 'Home Position' operating state (refer to Section 4.1.5).
• In 'Menu Tree' operating state, you use the functions responsible for data
output (e.g. 'a:Display Gross) or prompting for data input (e.g. '8:Manual Tare
Input).
After start of a system function, operation continues in the dialog mode. These simple,
recurring sequences are explained hereafter. For this kind of interaction, use the input
and control block keys.

3.5.2.1 Operating Input/Output Dialogs
For you to easily recognize the kind of reaction required for system operation, dialogs
follow certain conventions.
Outputs
These are functions displaying current parameter values.
If the actual contents (e.g. '1234,56') is displayed after the note (e.g. 'Balance'), the
function is an output function.
There are various types of output:
• With single-part outputs, only one value is output:

o Value is permanently displayed; exit function with [OK] key.
o Value is displayed for some seconds; function terminates

automatically
(e.g. 'a:Display Gross')
• With multi-part outputs, multiple values are output one after the other.
o Values are permanently displayed; go to next value with [ENTER] key;
exit function with [OK] key
(e.g. '6:Display Balance')
o Value is displayed for some seconds; function terminates

automatically
(e.g. '52:Display Version')
o You can use the [LEFT arrow] and [RIGHT arrow] to scroll in longer
texts; there are some special cases (such as displaying the version)
where you can also scroll over several lines with [UP arrow] and
[DOWN arrow].
Inputs
These are functions used to enter data in the dialog mode.
You can identify an input mode from the fact that the current value (such as 'Fix1') is
displayed after an instruction text (such as 'Fixed tare' or 'Tare') and a cursor symbol
('underline') can be seen in the input space.
There are two types of input:
• Input using scroll field (input by selection):
The cursor is fixed at the first point of the input space. Select from list of
eligible values using the [LEFT arrow] and [RIGHT arrow] keys:

• Input by editing (key-in input):
After being called up, the cursor is at the first point of the input space. You can
place it on the input position desired with the [LEFT arrow] and [RIGHT
arrow] buttons or it changes its position when editing (current input position):
NOTE: For editing input field, see end of item.
There are two types of input functions:
• With single-part input functions, only one input field appears.
Acknowledge inputs with [ENTER] or [OK] keys and exit function (e.g. 8:Enter
Manual Tare).
• With multi-part input functions, multiple input fields appear one after the
other.
Acknowledge inputs with [ENTER] key; next input field appears (you come
back to the previous input space with[SHIFT] + [UP arrow]).
After last input field, program returns to the first.
Exit function with [OK] key (e.g. '1:Enter Setpoint').
NOTE: With a multi-part input, both inputs types can be used one after the
other as many times as required.
3.5.2.2 Editing Input Field

a) Moving Block Cursor
Key Key Action Display *)

After start of input function, cursor normally
stands on first input position, e.g.
[RIGHT arrow]:
Shift block cursor one digit to the right.
Cursor stops on last position.
[LEFT arrow]:
Shift block cursor one digit to the left.
Cursor stops on first position.
[SHIFT] + [RIGHT arrow]: **)
Shift block cursor to field end.
[SHIFT] + [LEFT arrow]: **)

Shift block cursor to field start.
*)
The menu functions and all corresponding dialog steps are displayed one
after another on scales with a 1-line display.
**) Use these key combinations to step 20 digits to the right or left from current cursor
position. With fields of up to 20 digits, this corresponds to a step to field start or field
end.

b) Entering Characters
DISOMAT is always in Overwrite mode. The PC typical Insert mode is not

available.
Set cursor to input position.
If characters have already been entered, overwrite. You can also enter blanks to
delete digits.
After input of a character, cursor shifts one digit to the right and stops in last position.
When entering numbers, enter digit in the first column, and input field is deleted. This
eases input of new values.
To change numeric values, shift cursor to faulty digit. Inputs from second column
onward will act in overwrite mode.
c) Inserting Characters
Follow these steps (example):

Key Key Existing customer name: 'Meier', Display
change to 'Meiser'
Set cursor to input position (here 'e')
Use key combination

[SHIFT] + [OK]
to insert blank; any text right of cursor is
shifted to the right.
Overwrite blank with the character you
wish to insert (here the 's').
d) Deleting Character
Follow these steps (example):
Key Key Existing customer name: 'Meiser', Display

change to 'Meser'
Position cursor right of character you
wish to delete (here the 'i').
Delete character left of cursor using key

combination [SHIFT] + [UP arrow]. Any
text right of cursor is shifted to the left.

3.5.2.3 Entering characters via the input block
The character set that can be keyed in is distributed on 2 levels:
• 1. Level: This includes all characters shown on the buttons.

• 2. Level: Some buttons supply other characters beyond those shown (such as
'a' with [1] button ) *).
*)
The additional assignment depends on the selected dialog language.
Characters are entered in what is known as the 'scroll mode' *). ALL possible
characters can be keyed in with this. They include
• the characters shown in white on the buttons
'0' to '9' Numbers
'_' Spaces
These characters can also be directly keyed in by (briefly) pressing

each button.
• the characters shown in yellow on the buttons
'A' through 'Z' Upper-case letters
',' Commas
'-' Minus
• the characters not shown that can be reached with the [SHIFT] button such as
'a' bis 'z' Lower-case letters
Miscellaneous characters
You turn on the 'scroll mode' by keeping a button pressed for a longer period
of time. All of the characters available through this button are slowly overlaid
on the same cursor position one after the other ('scrolled'). Release the key
when the character you want appears. This enters the character and the
cursor jumps one position to the right.

Entering Numbers
Numeric values are checked for plausibility. If a value is rejected, error message
'Value Too Big' or 'Value Too Small' is output.
Acknowledge message with [ENTER] key. Enter new value.
Entering Texts
Enter texts in form of strings. Normally, these are not checked for plausibility. So be
sure to enter useful values.
As already stated above, numbers may be entered in text form. This text can
be checked provided that the input uses a defined pattern, e.g. with function
'51:Date/Time' (see relevant item).
3.5.2.4 'Jumping' display

Inputs are especially used for parametering and configuring the scale that are also
used on scales that provide 40 characters per line. Inputs generaly consist of input
prompt and input point.
Inputs that only require 20 characters are treated 'normally'.
The first 20 characters are issued with inputs requiring more than 20 characters so
that you can read the input prompt. After 1.5 seconds, the display jumps to the left
until the entire input point can be seen. This cuts off characters left justified from the
input prompt .
The front and rear half is shown alternately with event messages that cannot be
shown completely in the display .

Normal Mode General Control
4 Normal Mode
Operating mode 'Normal Mode' can be called without password input. This mode
comprises:
Home Position Functions
These functions are designed for use in daily operation with no need for detailed
system knowledge. The daily user will primarily use the keys of the operating block.
• He will use weighing function keys, e.g. 'Zero Scale', 'Acquire Tare', 'Clear
Tare' to perform basic weighing functions.
• Using function keys and residual keys, he can perform functions like 'Print
Weigh Slip', etc.
• To check the system as such, he can start the integrated self-testing function.
• He can adjust display contrast to ambient brightness.
Menu Tree Functions
The skilled user will use further functions in daily operation which can be accessed
via the first and second menu tree level. Some of these functions can be called up by
function key operation.
Examples:
Enter: - Setpoint
- String
- Manual Tare
Select: - Fixed Tare
Display: - Gross
- Balance
- Software version
Start: - Print functions
Set: - Date
- Time

Normal Mode Functionality in Home Position
4.1 Functionality in Home Position

4.1.1 Zero Scale
Use function to set scale to zero.
After key operation, any zero point deviation (e.g. due to grime) is corrected on
relieved scale. Display reads 0.0 [unit]. In addition, symbol is displayed.
Zero setting is possible only if
• Scale is not tared

• Gross weight of load on scale is within zeroing range (visualized by a dot)
• Scale is in no-motion (>< on display).
If this is not the case, an event message is output and display remains unchanged.
Sample application:
You are weighing vehicles with extremely dirty tyres. After several weighing
operations, scale platform is grimed. Empty scale indicates weight of grime in place of
zero. Use menu item to zero scale to prevent this from occurring.
4.1.2 Acquire Tare
After key operation, current GROSS weight is stored in the scale's tare
memory.
Attention: Existing values are overwritten.

Display reads 0.0 [unit] if NET display type has been selected (default). If the
display ist set to GROSS, the stored tare value is indicated by the 'T' symbol in
the display.
4.1.3 Clear Tare
Tare is set to 0 (scale's tare memory is cleared). NET = GROSS; display

shows weight of load on scale. Symbol 'T' or 'PT' effaces.
4.1.4 Function Keys

The [UP arrow], [LEFT arrow] and [RIGHT arrow] buttons provide six 'functions keys'
that can be assigned in combination with the [SHIFT] button. Since the available
functionality depends on the loaded scale software, we cannot give any detailed
description at this point. You can find out these buttons can be assigned in the
description of the specific scales in Section 6.

It is configured with the '55:Select Home Position' function via the SERVICE
menu. No password is required.

Normal Mode Functionality in Menu Tree
4.2 Functionality in Menu Tree

The menu functions and all corresponding dialog steps are displayed one after
another on scales with a 1-line display.
In normal mode, some menu tree functions ('Basic Menu') can be reached without
password input.

4.2.1 Fct. 1:Enter setpoint
When Is An Input Required?

This function is reserved for automatic filling processes and concerns filling and
discharge scale as well as individual linkages using the F-Feed or D-Feed function
blocks. With all other scales, no input is required.
ATTENTION:
Ensure that setpoint changes do not change actual fill value such that
overfill occurs.
What Can Be Entered?
With automatic filling operations, you can use function to enter material type and
setpoint of the amount to be filled.
Admissible values for material number: [1 ... 2]

Admissible values for setpoint: [0 ... 99999.999 in display unit]
Operating Sequence
Input field displays the material selected last, e.g.

1:Enter Setpoint
Material Number 1
Change data in case of material change.
Enter new material setpoint, if any:

1:Enter Setpoint
Setpoint: 500.00
4.2.2 Fct. 2:String input

In addition to weight, a string is an additional information (on print form), e.g. customer
name, material number, vehicle number.
Up to 5 different strings can be used. Designed for detailed identification of a weighing
operation, their meaning has to be predefined.
Enter relevant contents upon weighing. Some inputs remain constant for a longer
time, others require to be redefined or adapted upon every weighing (before printout).
For a string to appear on printout, the following prerequisites must be given:
• String must be defined (length, prompt) (see '464:String Name' function).

• String must be considered in form format (see '462:Form Formats' function).
• String must include text contents (see '2:Enter String' function).
The first two items belong to 'Setting Mode'; the last item is performed in 'Normal
Mode' and described here below.

Operating Sequence
After call of function, the first possible string appears in input field, e.g.
2:Enter String
Customer: __________
Enter desired string, or change existing input.
Operate [ENTER] key, and the next possible string is offered, for you to edit.
Note:
1. You can enter the number of strings (max 5) defined upon system setting, i.e.
inputs are possible only for strings longer than 0.
2. Before input field, a text can be output (e.g. 'Customer:'). This prompt
indicates the desired string contents.
3. The inputs for a certain string remained stored until being overwritten.
4.2.3 Fct. 3:PRINT

You can connect a local or remote printer (monitored printer) to the DISOMAT and
print outputs using various formats.
After print fault, print command can be repeated. Printout is repeated with same print
text, weight, consecutive number, and other information. Print command can be
repeated as many times as required until next regular printout. You can also perform a
page feed on printer.
For relevant functions, see menu item '3:PRINT'.
The DISOMAT basic variant caters for six different form formats printed automatically
or selected by function key operation. For details, see items on individual scale types
in Chapter 6.
The form formats can be addressed either via menu tree function or key linkage. The
print result is the same.
You can change the form formats for 'Print 1' to 'Print 6' in "Setting Mode". Use
the '46:PRINT FORM' menu and select the '462:Form Formats' function.
In case of printing via menu tree, certain functions may be missing and are
additionally addressed upon printout via keyboard (e.g. reset balance upon
totals printout). We recommend to start printing via menu items only if the
description of the particular scale explicitly advises to do so.
Functions via menu tree:

Menu item Function
31:Print 1 Printing with form format 1
34:New Page Perform a page feed on printer

Menu item Function

35:Print Repeat In case of printer fault (e.g. paper out, copies required), you can
repeat printing as many times as required.
ATTENTION: Print repeat through repeated pressing of the print

start key is not useful; depending on scale type, other functions can
be triggered which are not desired for print repeat.
39:L.f.T. memory 'paperless' printing into legal-for-trade memory
4.2.4 Fct. 5:SERVICE

Use this group of functions to perform, or check, some settings and perform some
tests without password.
• Set date/time
• Request version number
• Set display type
• Search legal-for-trade memory
• Select home position
• Higher Range
4.2.4.1 Fct. 51:Date/Time

Use function to set the clock in DISOMAT. This makes good sense if a printer is
connected and time data are to be printed on print form, or permanently displayed in
dialog field.
Caution: Since your inputs are not checked semantically, even useless inputs, e.g.
41,22,92 are accepted. So strictly observe given format to prevent malfunctions from
occurring.
Note: If system is powered off, clock continues running for approx. 1 week provided
that system has been operating for minimum 30 hours.
Operating Sequence
After selection of input field, current values are displayed.

You can change date in this field:
51:Date/Time
Date: 12.01.00
Date input uses the format dd.mm.yy (dd=day, mm=month, yy=year).
In case of output, the year appears in 4-digit form.
To change time, go to this input field:

51:Date/time
Time: 17:15:30
Time input uses the format hh:mm:ss (hh=hour, mm=minute, ss=second).
New settings are effective after acknowledgement with [OK] key.

4.2.4.2 Fct. 52:Display Version

This function shows characteristic information for your unit. This information is
important if you have questions for the manufacturer because this is the only way that
the service staff advising you knows what equipment you have.
Operating sequence:
When you press the [ENTER] button, information appears in the display in a
continuous*) sequence that is shown for a couple of seconds such as
*) You can use the [ENTER] or [OK] buttons to switch more quickly to the next inputs.
The information provided:

1 ... 6 1 The version designations of the software, hardware and
serial number, etc.
7 ... 67 2 Flash log file (max. of 60 entries)
Navigation through the information memory :

You can store information including as many as 40 or 80 characters per step, although
only the first 20 characters are shown in the display.
You have to interrupt the continuous routine to show the rest of the characters by
pressing any direction button at the desired point. Now you can use the [RIGHT arrow]
and [LEFT arrow] buttons to gradually overlay the entire text into the display.
Each entry of the flash log file consists of 2 lines with up to 40 characters. You can
use the [DOWN arrow] and [UP arrow] buttons to switch back and forth between these
two lines.
You can use the [ENTER] or [OK] buttons to resume the continuous display.

Flash log file:

The entries from #7 show the history of the last registered loading processes with
information on who did load what software into the unit at what time.
The following is stored for each loading process (refer to #8a and #8b) such as
Line: Information: where:
31:DOp vww20700/002 31 = the number of the loading process

The log file can have as many as 60 entries.
4.2.4.3 Fct. 53:Display Type

Use function to determine the weight display default settings:
• Default = Net [Net]

Normally, DISOMAT comes set for NET display provided that a tare value is
stored (T or PT symbol). If you clear tare memory, display automatically
changes to GROSS weight. After acquisition of a new tare value, display
returns to default. If you want to know GROSS weight, use the 'a:Display
Gross' function.
• Default = Gross [G]

Some weighing applications require the GROSS weight to be permanently
set. This is independent of tare memory. The gross weight is always shown in
the display regardless of whether the tare memory is set or cleared. There is
no menu item for NET display.
After selection of function a scroll field appears, for you to select:

53:Display Type
Display: Net
Select between Net and Gross.
NOTE: If GROSS display is set as default, call of the 'a:Display Gross' function is
ineffective.
4.2.4.4 Fct. 54:Search Legal-For-Trade Memory

Use function for display and printout of weighing results stored in legal-for-trade
memory.
You can search for data
• stemming from a certain day date

• appertaining to a certain consecutive number
• including a certain text.

Operating Sequence
After call of function, the date input field opens and displays default:
54:Search L-f-T Memory
Date 01.01.00
Attention: Remember date input instructions given at the '51:Date/Time' item.
Input field for consecutive number opens:

Cons. No. ___0
Then you can enter text to be searched in strings:

String __________________
Start searching with [OK] key.
Result
If the search
• fails, display reads: 'No further inputs found'

• was successful, first data record found is displayed. Display other hits with
[ENTER] key.
When searching for data records, the 3 possible default settings are AND-
interlinked, i.e. system exclusively finds data records meeting all three
criteria. To do so, best restart function and leave default value in the input
field of the unused criterion (same effect as 'Ignore Field').
Exit function using [ABORT] or [OK] key.
Pressing of [OK] key lets you print the hits.
54:Search Legal-for-trade Memory

Print No
You can select: [No| Last Display | All Inputs Found]:
• 'No': No printout
• 'Last Display': Print data record displayed last.
• 'All Inputs Found': Print all data records meeting the selected criteria.
You can abort printing using any key.

4.2.4.5 Fct. 55:Select Home Position

This function is used for selecting system information that appears alternately with the
weight display in the display in the 'basic position' operating state.
Refer to the 'Basic Position Display' for possible displays.
The current selection appears after calling up the function, such as

1 : Date/Time
You can change the selection with the DIRECTION KEYS.
4.2.4.6 Fct. 58:Set higher range

This function switches a multi-range scale into the next-higher range.
This is necessary when a road weigh bridge does not come to a standstill in
the small range due to wind.
4.2.5 Fct. 6:Display balance

Use menu item to display balance total.
NOTE: This display corresponds to the total of all 2 materials counters (see also
Format Variable 'BI'). You can access single materials balances using format variables
'BI1' to 'BI10'. Next display after balance total shows individual material totals.
When Does Summation Take Place?
• With Filling/Receiving Scale, balancing takes place automatically after every

filling/discharge operation.
• With all other scales, summation takes place upon printing (depending on
configuration).
What Is Summated?
Every operation increments the number of dumps by 1, and balance total by the
acquired weight value.
Operations are filling processes, aborted or completed, and all printing operations
started via keyboard or contact input.
No balancing takes place if printout is started using menu items '31:Print 1', '32:Print
2', '33:Print 3', '36:Print 4', '37:Print 5', '38:Print 6' and '35:Print Repeat'.
What Is Displayed?
You can display current balance total and current number of dumps.
Example
30 kg each time are filled. After 9 filling operations, balance total is 270 kg. Maximum
balance total is 280 kg.
You can enter balance total and maximum number of dumps at menu item '471:Max.
Balance/Dumps' after input of parameter password.

Operating Sequence
Function first displays current balance total, e.g.

6:Display Balance
Balance: +1256.0
After renewed operation of [ENTER] key, display shows current number of dumps,
e.g.
6:Display Balance
Dumps: 7
You can use [OK] to get to the display of sums for materials 1 and 2.
4.2.6 Fct. 7:Select fixed tare

Use menu item to tare a stored value, i.e. you need not key in tare value but can
select from a list. List may comprise maximum 9 fixed tare values (Fix1 ... Fix9).
Selection of a fixed tare weight with 0.00 value has the same effect as 'Clear
Tare'.
For simple selection of fixed tare values, these require to be entered. This is
done in 'Setting Mode' (Parameter password) using the '48:Fixed Tare input'
function.
Operating Sequence
After call of function, scroll field display always shows parameter 'Fix1'.
7:Select fixed tare
Fixed tare Fix1
Use DIRECTION KEYS to select other value, if you desire so. When you press the
[OK] key, the display goes back to net by (Net).
Example
You wish to acquire the weights of bulk solids (NET weight) stored in different hopper
types of 5 different weights. The weight of each hopper is always the same. You weigh
the filled hopper (GROSS weight) and select hopper weight using fixed tare value.
Advantage: You need not enter hopper weight in manual.
4.2.7 Fct. 8:Manual tare

Use menu item to enter tare value in manual.
Admissible input range: [ 0 ... full scale value]
Operating Sequence
Input field displays current value of tare memory:

8:Enter Manual Tare
Tare: +__0.00
Enter desired value and acknowledge with [ENTER].

Example:
You wish to acquire the weight of a bulk solid (NET weight) stored in a drum. Drum
weight (TARE weight) is noted on drum. Weigh filled drum (GROSS weight) and enter
TARE weight in manual.
Advantage: You need not weigh empty drum before filling.
4.2.8 Fct. 9:Contrast

Display contrast can be easily matched to ambient brightness if needed for lighting.
Operating Sequence
9:Contrast
After calling up the function, the following instruction appears:
<- OK ENTER ->
It shows what keys you can use to change contrast:
<- OK ENTER ->

You can match contrast with the direction keys and you can store settings with the
[OK] or [ENTER] button. If there is not any change for a certain period of time (time-
out), it stores the present settings and the function is automatically ended.
4.2.9 Fct. a:Display gross

Use function for brief display of current GROSS weight.
Prerequisite: Display currently shows NET weight.
Operating Sequence
a:Display Gross
Right after operation of [ENTER] key, current GROSS weight is displayed (in weight
area) for some seconds.
Example:
You have filled a hopper; scale is tared and shows weight of good to be weighed
(=NET). You wish to briefly display totals weight (=GROSS) with no need to clear tare
memory. This function briefly outputs current GROSS weight before scale returns to
NET weight display.

4.2.10 Fct. b:Display tare

This function displays stored TARE weight of scale for some seconds.
Operating Sequence
b:Display tare
Right after operation of [ENTER] key, current TARE weight is displayed for some
seconds.
4.2.11 Fct. c:Test display
This test is a visual inspection of the display where alphanumerical

characters are pushed over all points on the display to be able to
identify missing pixels.
We recommend making this test at least once a day as regular

'Setting Mode' operating mode is protected by password. Here you exclusively use
menu tree functions designed for
• PARAMETRIZATION - Perform parameter settings in DISOMAT which are

but seldom required. Before calling functions (see Item 5.2), enter Parameter
password.
• CONFIGURATION - Perform control system settings. Before calling functions
(see Item 5.3), enter Configuraiton password. This privilege includes the
permission for parametrization.
• CALIBRATION - Set and calibrate weighing system. Before calling functions
(see Item 5.4), enter Calibration password.
As convenient servicing tool, SCHENCK PROCESS have developed the

and operate [DOWN arrow] key.
System prompts for password input.

41:SETTINGS
Enter Password
(see Item 5.1).
After password input, the relevant menu items are faded in into menu tree. You will
note that menu items are not strictly divided by the above three privilege grades. For
practical reasons, some menu items are available under multiple passwords.
5.1 Safety Through Password Protection

For safety reasons, access to functions is protected by a graded password system
designed to protect the DISOMAT settings.
In addition to the generally accessible area, there are further areas protected by
password:
• Parameter password for daily use
• Configuration password for commissioning
• Calibration password for weighing functions commissioning
• Restart password for restart ('Reset all' - For reloading of RAM, see Item
5.5).
• Service password for SCHENCK internal use. Opens further menu items
reserved for authorized service engineers.

Every password is designed as 6-digit number.
To ease operation, the menu items relevant for the selected area do not
appear before sucessful password input.
We urgently recommend to use the password protected menu tree

areas only if you are sufficiently familiar with the function block
system.
With the use of the configuration password, for instance, function block
parameters can be changed. However, inadvertent changes can cause
severe faults, sometimes not immediately obvious. A connected control
system, if any, has the potential to cause severe injury or damage to the
machine.
The plant user must ensure that the passwords are used only by
authorized and skilled persons. If required, passwords must be removed
from operating manual, or changed.
5.1.1 Default Passwords

If you make this manual available to operators who shall not know all passwords, we
suggest to
• blacken this table, or

• change passwords (see menu item '45:Change Password'), enter in copy of
this sheet and keep in a safe place.

5.2.1 Fct. 46:PRINT FORM

Many weighing tasks require data, loaded, stored or acquired, to be printed.
DISOMAT is capable of controlling a printer directly.
What can be printed?
You can print formatted weigh data as well as a list of set parameters.
For weigh data, the following functions are available:
• A remote or local printer can be operated.

• In case of remote printer, system checks to see if data transfer and printout
have been successful. If not, system outputs an event message.
• The EDP message to be transferred after printout can be formatted.
• Six form formats are available, e.g. 'Single Printout', 'Sub-Total' and 'Total'.
These form formats can be addressed both via menu tree and function blocks
(Print1, Print2, Print3, Print4, Print5, Print6).
• If weigh data are output in list form, a header printout can be started for every
new page.
• The form format can be designed at will (division of page, information to be
printed).
• Single printouts can be started both using the function block linkage and in
menu tree.
• Input of a string varying from printout to printout (e.g. item number, vehicle
number) is possible using function blocks and in the dialog mode.
• After printer fault, the print job started last can be repeated with same text,
weight and consecutive number. Print command is repeated as many times as
required until next printout.
For listing set parameters, the following functions are available:
• Printout of all setting data (configuration, calibration)

• Printout of function block linkages complete with parameter values.
Handling print functions

For the stated options, DISOMAT readies a convenient printer control accessed from
four menu tree items:
• Menu item '2:Enter String'; See item 4.2.2.

• Menu '3:PRINT'
Starts the functions for start and repeat of printing in daily operation. Six form
formats are available ('31:Print 1', '32:Print 2', '33:Print 3, ''36:Print 4', '37:Print
5', '38:Print 6' ) that can be accessed at any time by function key operation or
via menu tree.
See Item 4.2.3.
• Menu item '56:Print Parameters'
See Item 4.2.4.6
• Menu '46:PRINT FORM'
See below.
You need not use the default form formats. To match the construction of printouts via
the '3:PRINT' menu, the variable form format function is available which you can use
to match formats to your requirements. You can reload default formats at any time
(default forms, default texts). However, your changes get lost.
The following items describe all functions the system readies for changing.

5.2.1.1 Fct. 461:Form Texts

For creation of image, the '462:Form Formats' function uses various codes. Using
code 'Sn' (n=1,2,3) one of three form texts can be inserted.
Form texts are preassigned as default. If other texts are required, you can match
these to your requirements using the described functions, and reload the default
settings at any time (see function: '469:Load Default Text').
Operating Sequence
Input field for first form text opens, e.g.

461:Form Texts
1st Text: Date____Time_______Cons.No.____
If need be, enter string and/or go to second or third form text using the [ENTER] key.
461:Form Texts
2ndText: Veh.No._______________________
461: Form Text

3rd Text: Weight___________________
Acquire changes with [OK] key.
Note: If you need more form texts, simply add text to form format (see '462:Form
Formats').
5.2.1.2 Fct. 462:Form Formats

The form formats below correspond to relevant function block and menu tree
functions:
Form Format Function Block Menu Tree Function

Form Format 1 Print1 '31:Print 1'
You can match these form formats to your requirements using the function described
here.
You can, e.g.
• Change form division

• Determine weigh data to be printed, e.g. Gross, Net, Tare, Balance)
• Determine additional texts to be printed.
Tip - You can output the stored system formats using menu item '56:Print
Parameters'. With the aid of the printout, changes are easier to perform.
NOTE: If no changes have been effected, system uses its default formats (see
function '468:Load Default Form').

Definitions
For better understanding, some terms shall be explained.
Term Definition
Form format Editable string whose contents determines the sequence of printout.
Format element Part of a form format (format variable, special character, additional
text). Format elements are separated by commas (max. 20 digits
between 2 commas).
Format variable A symbolic name standing for the format element to be output (e.g.
'BZ' for string).
Form text Editable string whose contents can be output through the format
variable in the form of 'Sn' (n=1,2,3). A form text is part of the form
format and is but seldom changed, e.g. company name.
Editing - Some Rules

When changing form format, observe the following rules:
• Ensure that codes are separated from one another by comma.

• Ensure that form format line length does not exceed 200 digits (including
commas).
• Ensure that the balance of all formats (i.e. incl. EDP Format) does not exceed
1000 digits.
• For editing inputs, observe the instructions given at Item 3.4.2 'Data
Input/Output'.
For details on codes used, see Code Table.
Additional Texts
If you need more form text, simply add additional text to form format. Position text
between two commas (max. 20 digits between 2 commas).
Example: You wish to print text "SCHENCK scale with DISOMAT". Coding in form
format is: 'SCHENCK scale, with DISOMAT' (see example below).
Attention: If the text between two commas exactly matches a code, this text, too, is
interpreted as code; this means that letter 'B' cannot be output alone being reserved
for a code symbol and interpreted as prompt for output of Gross weight. However, text
'Gross' can be output being interpreted now as text and not as code.
Operating Sequence
First go to input field and enter number of form format to be edited (admissible
values: 1 to 6), e.g.
462:Form Formats
Form Format 1
Operate [ENTER] key, and input line displays current string. e.g.
462:Form Formats
Form1 P1,D,P10,U,P18,LN,P27,BZ,P40,B,T,N,F1
Change coding to your requirements and acknowledge with [ENTER] key. Selected
format is programmed.

Example
The 'Form1' sample shows how the change is effected.
'Form Format 1', e.g., creates the following printout

11.01.00 12:30 1234 DA-RC 30 123,45kg G 67,89kg T
55,56kg Net
and consists of code: P1,D,P10,U,P18,LN,P27,BZ,P40,B,T,N,F1
Code elements are defined as under:
Code Meaning Example
P1 Go to column 1
D Output current date 11.01.00
P10 Go to column 10
U Output current time 12:30
P18 Go to column 18
LN Output consecutive number of weighing 1234
P27 Go to column 27
BZ Output (entered) string DA-RC 30
P40 Go to column 40
B Output Gross weight 123.45kg G
T Output Tare weight 67.89kg T
N Output Net weight 55.56kg Net
F1 1 * page feed
You wish to change format such that
• additional text 'SCHENCK scale with DISOMAT' appears in first line left-flush
• tare value is no longer output.
Printout is to look like thus:

SCHENCK scale with DISOMAT
<Blank>
11.01.00 12:30 1234 DA-RC 30 123.45kg G 55.56kg Net
Relevant code is constructed as follows (changes are boldface printed):
SCHENCK scale, with DISOMAT,Y2,P1,D,U,LN,P27,BZ,P40,B,N,F1

Code Table
Code Description
B Output current Gross weight OR first Gross weight used subjected to format
change
B2 Output "B2" or print second Gross weight subjected to format change
BI Output balance total ( = total of 10 material balances); printer output, e.g.
12345,67kg SU;
BIn Output material balance; n = 1 ... 10;
BZ Output entered string (max. 25 characters) or transmit (max. 30 characters);
BZn Output entered string, or transmit; n = 1 ... 5 (BZ1 max. 25 characters)

e.g. C65 = 'A'; also for transfer of control characters to printer, e.g. C7 =
BELL;
D Output current date; printer output, e.g. 31.01.00;
D4 Output current date as per new standard, e.g. 2000-01-31;
DG Output current material flow value dW/dt;
Fn Output <n> page feeds on printer; n = 1 ... 99;
LN Output consecutive number of weighing
Mn Add printer pattern variable <n> to current print pattern, i.e. if the last print
pattern variable in Print Pattern 3 is M4, printout continues using Print Pattern
4. For printout, Print Patterns 3 and 4 form a unit, e.g. "Print Repeat" operates
as expected.
N Output current Net weight value OR first Net weight subjected to format
change.
In certified applications, permitted only in conjunction with G and T
N2 Output "N2" OR printout of second Net weight subjected to format change.
NE With tared scale: Output current Net weight OR first Net weight subjected to
format change.
With non-tared scale: Output current Gross weight OR first Gross weight
subjected to format change.
NOTE: With certified scales, always use NE.
With tared scale: Output "NE2" OR second Net weight subjected to format
change.
NE2 With non-tared scale: Output "NE2" OR second Gross weight subjected to
format change.
NOTE: With certified scales, always use NE.
_n Create <n> blanks between single outputs;
_ = blank; n = 1 ... 99;
If no '_n' is entered between single codes, 1 blank is always output.
Pn Set absolute column position for next printout; n = 1 ... 132;
RG Output current weighing range number: 1, 2 or 3
Rn Repeat preceding character n times; n = 1 ... 99;
e.g.: ,-,R7 repeats character '-' seven times ==> Printer output: -------
RD Output date when first weight transferred to format conversion has been
recorded (acquired by scale), e.g. weight stored in vehicle first weighing file.
RU Output time when first weight transferred to format conversion has been
recorded.
RD2 Output date when second weight transferred to format conversion has been
recorded (acquired by scale).

Code Description
RU2 Output time when second weight transferred to format conversion has been
recorded
S Output setpoint
SC Output number of dumps
SNR Output material number
Sn Output form text (entered at item '461:Form Texts');
n = 1 ... 3;
T Output current Tare weight value; printer output, e.g.: 123.45kg T;
U Output current time, e.g.: 23:59
Yn Output <n> line feeds on printer; n = 1 ... 99;
Y2, e.g., creates 2 line feeds.
Addition of ":dd" to the code variable (e.g. BZ:4) limits the output to the left "dd" digits
of the variable contents.
This replaces to a limited extent the previous possibility to reposition printer output
using Pxx (no longer possible from Version 07).
":dd" has NO influence on code variables B, T, N, NE and LN relevant for certified
applications.
5.2.1.3 Fct. 463:Page Header Format

Use menu item to match current page header format.
ATTENTION: Function '469:Load Default Text' replaces your changes by the

default settings.
After form feed, a page header is output on printer on top of every page. This is of
advantage if your printout covers more than one page.
A new page starts if
• function '34:New Page' is executed via menu tree

• code 'Fn' is output via form format
• internal line counter set by parameter 'Page Lines' has reached set value
(see function '4332:Printer').
Line counter is reset to value '1'.
Operating Sequence
After start of function, input field for presetting of header text format for output in list
form opens:
463:Page Header Format

Page Header Format Y5,P1,S1,P27,S2,P40,S3,Y2___
You can use the formatting codes described with function '462:Form Formats'.
Example: See function '468:Load Default Form'.

5.2.1.4 Fct. 464:String Name

In normal mode, the operator can use function '2:Enter String'' to enter data for max. 5
strings. These data appear on printout in place of code 'BZ' or 'BZn' (with n=1...5). To
protect formatting from inappropriate operator input, limit input length and inform the
operator about the desired contents by a suitable hint.

5.3.2.9 Fct. 435:Calibrate Analog Output

Use menu item to calibrate analog output, or reset its previous calibration. This helps
you to match the analog signal range to the requirements of the matching station.
To be able to use analog output, DISOMAT must be equipped with the

VEA400V option (no standard feature).
Connect matching station via XAE on p.c. board VNT400V.
Before performing calibration, connect ammeter to connector XAE (VNT400V).

As analog signal, one of multiple value variables (weight, balance, ...) can be selected.
The DISOMAT analog output signal is set in steps of 10 000 from smallest to highest
value of selected variable.
A 'step' in the analog signal does not necessarily change display of weight value; its
resolution is independent of the number of scale increments.

Calibrating Sequence
Use calibration function to output initial and full scale values (0 ... 20mA / 4 ... 20mA).
Enter the value measured on meter, e.g.
• 1 mA, measured on 0 mA threshold

• 19 mA, measured on 20 mA threshold.
System calibrates output correctly to 0-20 mA.

You can also calibrate the 4-20 mA range.

5.4.2 Fct. 441:Calibration Parameters
The calibration parameters determine the scale characteristics. Changes at

this menu item are possible only if
• calibration has been prepared as described at Item Fct.

44_SCALE and
• calibration password has been entered.
After any change to calibration parameters, recalibration may be

necessary.
5.4.2.1 Operating Sequence

Function is terminated.
5.4.2.2 Parameter 'Unit'

Display: Unit kg
Selection: t - tons
kg - kilograms (= default)
g - grams
lb - pound
N - Newton
kN - Kilo-Newton
Function: Determines the weight unit in your DISOMAT. This holds for the input of all
parameters (e.g. pre-act contact, main contact) and for the weight display
(home position).
5.4.2.3 Parameter 'Full Scale Value'

Display: Max. Val. [selected unit] 600.000
Input: Any value from 0.1 to 9000000
Default = 600.000
Function: Defines full scale value. With multi-range or multi-divisional scales, value
refers to the big range.
Attention: Parameter Full Scale Value is directly related to parameter
Increment Value. Both values have to coincide.
5.4.2.4 Parameter 'Increment Value'

Display: Digit [selected unit] 0,200
Default = 0.200
Function: Defines increment value and thus resolution of scale.
Comments: Increment value, together with parameter Full Scale Value, determines
the number of scale increments,
Increments = Full Scale Value/Increment Value
Possible are increments of 1; 2; 5.
If entered increment is not useful, event message 'W1211:Digit Wrong' is
output.
5.4.2.5 Parameter 'No-Motion Difference'

Display: Setting.Diff. 1d
Selection: 0d; 1d; 2d; 4d;
Default = 1d
Enter increment value.
Function: Together with parameter No-Motion Time, defines when scale is to
recognize no-motion.
No-motion is recognized if values measured during no-motion time do not
differ from values measured last by more than no-motion difference
allows.
Comments: Enter no-motion time at menu item '444:Scale Parameters'.
If Parameter 'Legal-for-Trade' = Yes, only input '1d' is admitted.

5.4.2.6 Parameter 'Zero Setting Range'

Display: ZeroingRange 4%
Selection: 0%; 2%; 4%; 10%; 20%;
Default = 4%
With certified scales: Max. 4%
Function: Together with parameter Full Scale Value, defines the range available
for zero setting.
Enter value in percent of full scale.
Comments: Weighing range is not restricted by zero setting.
Zeroing range is asymmetrical to zero point:
2% = -0.5 .... +1.5
4% = -1.0 .... +3.0
10% = -2.5 .... +7.5
20% = -10.0 .... +10.0
If Parameter 'Legal-for-Trade' = Yes, only inputs to max. 4% are
admitted.
5.4.2.7 Parameter 'Overrange'

Display: Overrange 9d
Selection: 100%; 101%; 102%; 110%; 9d
Default = 9d
Enter value in % or d (digit). With certified scales: 9d
"d" refers to the number of digits, or smallest possible resolution of
weighing range. This value corresponds to the scale increment value.
Function: Relative to parameter Full Scale Value, defines what weight above full
scale value is displayed still. If weight of load exceeds overrange, symbol
"oooooo" is displayed provided that Parameter ' Legal-for-Trade' is set to
Yes. If 'Legal-for-Trade' is set to 'No', you will know the overrange by the T
symbol; the weight value continues being displayed.
5.4.2.8 Parameter 'Mechanical Factor'

Display: F-mech 1.00
Default = 1,00
Enter value without unit.
Function: The mechanical factor considers the mechanical scale construction, e.g.
transmission, lever, and load application ratios.
F-mech = Load on scale / load on load cell

Comments: With scales with no load reduction or transmission ratio, factor is 1.0000.
Value < 1.0000: Load reduction ratio
Value > 1.0000: Load transmission ratio

Examples:
A hopper scale is placed on one load cell and two pivots. If load cells are arranged
rotation-symmetrically, and the two pivots around a round-shaped hopper with mid
center of gravity ( load carrier to 3 x 120°) the load is distributed to 1/3 each:
33,33 %
Festlager
Pivot
Palier
33,33 % Supporto fisso
Wägezelle 100 %
Load cell Fmech = =3
33,33 %
Capteur
Cella pesatrice 33,33 %
Festlager
Pivot
Palier
Supporto fisso
With a rectanglular hopper or a round-shaped hopper in a symmetrical weighing

frame, the result is different (even if the latter is square and totally symmetric):
25 %
Festlager
Pivot
Palier
50 % Supporto fisso
Wägezelle Behälter 100 %
Load cell
Hopper
Récipient
Fmech = =2
Recipiente
50 %
Capteur
Cella pesatrice 25 %
Festlager
Pivot
Palier
Supporto fisso
This load distribution is caused by the different spacing of
• load cells (1/2 side length)

• pivots (1/2 diagonal)
from hopper centre of gravity, i.e. the three support points do not form any equilateral
triangle. For theoretical calibration, value 2 results.
When designing the load cell, its load must be properly considered.
Any other case, e.g. rectangular hoppers with unsymmetrical load distribution, must be
derived either from precise geometric consideration or at best calibrated with the use
of a pre-weighed medium (liquid) filled into hopper.
ATTENTION: Upon calibration with weights, ensure that the mid center of gravity
position is precisely kept.
5.4.2.9 Parameter 'Calibration Factor'

Display: F-calib. 1.00000
Input: Any value from 0.9 to 1.1
Default = 1
Considers F-calib. scatterings in load cell characteristic values, or scale
mechanics total characteristic value.
System acquires parameter value during range calibration.
F-calib. = Test weight / displayed weight

5.4.2.10 Parameter 'Load Cell Rated Capacity'

Display: RatedCp 1000kg
Input always 1 - 999999
in [kg]: Default = 1000
Function: Indicates rated capacity of load cells used.
If a load cell is loaded with its rated capacity, it will output as measuring
signal, at 1V supply voltage, the voltage corresponding to its load cell
characteristic (Parameter Load Cell Characteristic in mV/V).
Comments: Enter always in kg. Rated capacity indications with other units must be
converted into kg.
5.4.2.11 Parameter 'Number of Load Cells'

Display: No. of L/Cs 1
Input: Any value from 1 to 20
Default = 1
Function: Indicates number of load cells used.
Pivots, if any, do not count.
5.4.2.12 Parameter 'Load Cell Characteristic'

Display: L/C-C [mV/V] 2.85
Default = 2.85
Function: Load cell characteristic (rated characteristic) indicates the output voltage
(measuring signal) a load cell supplies as a function of supply voltage, if
loaded with its rated capacity.
5.4.2.13 Parameter 'Dead Weight'

Display: Deadw. + 0.00kg
Input: Any value from 0 to ± 999999
Default = 0.00
Function: Dead weight means the weight of scale mechanics (weight of empty scale)
acting on load cells in addition to effective load, i.e. the load to be weighed.
Dead weight is acquired during dead weight calibration and stored as
calibration parameter Dead Weight.
Besides the Calibration Factor, it is one of the two parameters that need not
be entered.
Merely in theoretical calibration, correct dead weight value has to be

entered in manual.

5.4.2.14 Parameter 'Legal-For-Trade'

Display: L-f-T: Yes
Selection: Yes; No
Default = Yes
Function: The legal-for-trade status determines whether the scale is subject to official
verification or not. This affects various monitoring and display functions of
your scale.
The information below refers to Block 2.
5.4.2.15 Parameter 'Scale ID'

Display: ScaleID Scale 1 (e.g.)
Input: Any text, max. 7 digits
Function: Defines the name of your scale.
5.4.2.16 Parameter 'Class'

Display: Class Commercial Scale Cl. III
Selection: Commercial scale Class III, ordinary accuracy weighing machine; Cl.IIII,
self-acting filling scale; user-defined minimum load.
Function: Defines the scale accuracy class. Depending on application, minimum
load, etc. may change.
5.4.2.17 Parameter 'Gravity Deviation'

Display: G-deviation [per mil] + 0.000
Input: Deviation in per mil in accordance with formula:
Value = 1000 × (G-calibration site - G-mounting site) ÷
G-calibration site
Default = 0
Function: Described during verification in the manufacturer's works, this parameter
corrects the difference in gravitational force existing between verification
and mounting sites. Relevant are geographical latitude and sea level.
If verification takes place at the mounting site (normal case), parameter is

always zero.
5.4.2.18 Parameter 'User Def. MIN Load'

Display: User-def. MIN Load [current unit] 0.00
Input: Minimum load on scale in current unit
Default = 0
Function: This parameter determines the MIN value of the electronic stamping plate
provided that Parameter 'Class' has been set to 'User-def.MIN Load'.

5.4.3 Fct. 442:Special Scales

DISOMAT knows three operating modes:
• Normal scale (Single-range scale)

• Multi-divisional scale (2 or 3 ranges)
• Multi-range scale (2 or 3 ranges).
Unlike the normal scale, the multi-divisional or multi-range scale has multiple weighing
ranges (with 2 ranges: small and big range; with 3 ranges: small, medium and big
range).
Calibration and scale parameters are identical for all ranges, except Full Scale Value
and Increment Value.
Enter big range parameters in the exact same ways as the single-range scale
parameters; small range parameters, at menu item '442:Mode'.
With two ranges, range and increment value can be set for the medium
range; however, this is of no influence.
Parameters
Small range parameters to be set:
• Scale type
• Small range full scale value
• Small range increment value
• Medium range full scale value
• Medium range increment value.
Parameter input for multi-divisional/multi-range scales is identical.
Display and Printout

The currently active range is highlighted in the upper display line.
Ex.: Max. 80 / 200 kg
i.e. 80 highlighted means that small range, here: 80
kg, is active.
Change-over of range has no effect on display and printout. Display always shows the
after-comma places of the small range. When defining ranges and increment value,
have in mind that maximum 6 places plus comma (e.g. 1000.00) are available in the
display.
Operating Sequence
442:SCALE

The operation is complete.

5.4.3.1 Parameter 'Scale Type'

Display: Type Normal
Selection: Normal; multi-division (2 ranges); multi-range (2 ranges);
multi-division (3 ranges; multi-range (3 ranges)
Default = Normal
Function: Enter scale type.
• With the multi-divisional scale, change-over from smaller to bigger range

takes place if weight value exceeds switching value (smaller range full scale
value). Return to next small range takes place if switching point is exceeded
down. After taring, scale operates in small range related to Net weight. This
mode requires special load cells (e.g. SCHENCK RTN MI load cells).
The maximum manual/fixed tare input is limited to the full scale value of the
smallest range.
• With the multi-range scale, change-over from smaller to bigger range

takes place if weight value exceeds switching value. Return to small range
takes place only if scale is relieved to exact zero (+¼ d). Tare values, if
any, are deleted. Taring has no impact on range (Gross related).
5.4.3.2 Parameter 'Full Scale Value - Small Range'

Display: Sm.Range [selected unit] 300.000
Default = 300
Function: Defines the full scale value of the small range.
This parameter is directly related to parameter Increment
Value - Small Range.
Both values have to coincide.
5.4.3.3 Parameter 'Increment Value - Small Range'

Display: Digit [selected unit] 0.100
Default = 0.1
Function: Defines increment value and thus the resolution of the small
range.
Comments: Together with parameter Full Scale Value - Small Range,
this parameter defines the number of increments of the small
range.
Increment value is calculated thus:

Number of increments = full scale value/increment value
Possible are increments of 1; 2; 5.
If the increment entered is not useful, event message
'W1211: Digit Wrong' is output.
5.4.3.4 Parameter 'Full ScaleValue - Medium Range'

Display: Medium range [current unit] 300.000
Input: Any value between 1000 to 1000000
Default = 300
Function: Defines medium range full scale value.
Parameter 'Increment Value -Medium Range' is directly
connected with Parameter 'Full Scale-Medium Range'.
Ensure that the two values coincide.

5.4.3.5 Parameter 'Increment Value - Medium Range'

Display: Increment value [current unit] 0.100
Input: Any value between 0.001 and 1000.000
Default = 0,1
Function: Defines increment value and thus also the medium range
increment value
Comments: Together with Parameter 'Full Scale Value-Medium Range'
defines the medium range increment value.
Increment value is computed as follows:

Number of increments = full scale value/increment value
Increments values 1, 2 and 5 are possible.
If the entered increment value is not useful, event message
'W1211:Wrong Increment Value' is output.
5.4.4 Fct. 444:Scale Parameters

In addition to the calibration parameters, the scale parameters determine
further scale characteristics.
To edit parameters, enter
• Calibration password, or
• Configuration password.
The 'Weighing/Calibration Mode' programming plug (plug-in jumper) in

scale connector (dongle) needs not be be changed. No recalibration is
required.

5.4.4.2 Parameter 'Switching Filter'

Display: Switching Filter 0.20s
Selection: 0.02s; 0.04s; 0.10s; 0.20s; 0.40s; 1.00s
Default = 0.20s
Function: Limit value monitoring.
Defines filter time for weights used for fast comparator and
for batching.
With increasing filter time, scale monitoring becomes slower.
Value to be set depends on external vibrating effects at scale
location (e.g. mechanical vibrations).

5.4.4.3 Parameter 'Display Filter'

Display: Display Filter 0,47s
Selection: 0.06s; 0.10s; 0.15s; 0.22s; 0.33s; 0.47s; 0.68s; 1.00s; 1.50s;
2.00s; 3.30s; 4.70s
Default = 0,47s
Function: Determines filter time for weight values shown on display.
Function blocks, EDP and no-motion transmissions also use
the filtered weight values.
With increasing filter time, scale monitoring becomes slower.
Value to be set depends on external vibrating effects at scale
location (e.g. mechanical vibrations).
5.4.4.4 Parameter 'No-Motion Time'

Display: DelayTime 1.0s
Default = 1.0
Function: Together with parameter No-Motion Difference (legal-for-
trade parameter), defines when scale is to recognize no-
motion.
Rule of thumb: 1/4 * no-motion time ℜ≥ 0.8 * display filter
System recognizes no-motion if values measured during no-

motion time do not differ by more than the no-motion
difference of the value measured last.
No-motion is indicated in weight display by the >< symbol.
5.4.4.5 Parameter 'Zero Tracking'

Display: Zero Track No
Selection: No = disconnected (default)
Yes = connected
Auto = Zero scale *)
Function: Defines whether scale in zeroing range is automatically set to
zero.
The following conditions apply:
1. Scale in no-motion for at least 1 second. (See no-

motion conditions at parameter 'No-Motion Time'.)
2. Weight deviation from current zero point within +- 1/2

d.
3. Weight change during last second smaller than 0.5
d/s.
4. New zero point still within zeroing range (see
parameter 'Zero Setting Range'). Excessive zero
point shifts are displayed as weight.
*) If you select 'Auto', conditions 2 and 3 are no longer

applicable tonegative weight readings.

5.4.4.6 Parameter 'Switching Delay'
Display: Sw.Delay 1.0s

Default = 1.0
Function: Defines the switching delay of the multi-range/multi-divisional
scale required for change-over from one range to the other.
This helps to avoid range change-over caused by short
weight shocks (e.g. caused by application of load on scale).
Change-over takes place when no-motion is reached or time
has elapsed.
Comments: Switching delay is relevant only with multi-divisional and/or
multi-range scales.
5.4.4.7 Parameter 'Filter Time dW/dt'
Display: Filter time dW/dt [s] 2.00

Input: Any value between 0 and 30000
Default = 2.00
Function: Defines filter time for weight change display
5.4.5 Fct. 445:CALIBRATION

During calibration, the scale dead weight is acquired, and the range calibrated with the
use of calibration weights. In certain cases, the scale can also be calibrated
"theoretically", i.e. without calibration weights (computational range calibration).
Before starting dead weight and span calibration, the weighing system must have
been operating for at least 30 minutes, for load cells to reach operating temperature.
If need be, perform corner adjustment. Corner adjustment is important whenever a
scale equipped with multiple load cells can be loaded asymmetrically (see, e.g.,
Manual DKI200).
5.4.5.1 Essential Operating Steps
• Calibrate dead weight (Menu Item '4451:Deadweight').

• Calibrate range using weights (Menu Item '4453:Range').
• Special case: Theoretically calibrate range (see Item 'Theoretical Range
Calibration')
• Special case: Linearize scale characteristic (Menu Item '4452:Linearization').
• Check calibration result.

5.4.5.2 Fct. 4451:Dead Weight

The dead weight is the constant weight of a scale construction (e.g. empty hopper,
weighing platform) acting on load cells. See also calibration parameter 'Deadweight'.
Dead weight has nothing to do with the taring function.
Ensure that scale is unloaded. Using this menu item, the system computes
'Deadweight' parameter and enters value automatically. Ever after, this weight value is
subtracted from measurement value, so that actual weight of load on scale is
displayed.
Operating Sequence
4451:SCALE CALIBRAT.
Dead Weight
Display reads
4451:Dead Weight
Dead Weight Act.
After some seconds, display reports exit to function:

4451:Dead Weight
Dead Weight OK
Check: If tare memory is cleared, empty scale display must read 0.0 (kg | t | g | lb | N |
kN).
5.4.5.3 Fct. 4453:Range

If dead weight calibration is complete, apply known calibration weight (50...100% of
range full scale value) to scale, select '4453:Range' and enter calibration weight value.
System computes calibration factor from entered and measured weights and enters
value into parameter list.
Designed as correction factor, parameter F-calib is considered with any future

measurement value.
If no event message is output, calibration is complete. If an event message is output

(e.g. range error), remove fault and repeat calibration process.
Range calibration is performed automatically after start of function.
Operating Sequence
Apply calibration weight to scale.

Range

Range value input field opens, e.g.:

4453:Range
Range 50.00kg
Enter calibration weight (e.g. 50 kg) and acknowledge with [ENTER] key.
The admissible value range depends on the value entered for calibration
parameter 'Full Scale Value'.
Display reads
4453:Range
Range Active
while range is being calibrated.
If display reads
4453:Range
Range OK
range calibration is complete.
Function terminates automatically.
If
4453:Range
Range Error
and then
4453:Range
Dongle Assignment/Meas.Circuit No
is output, measuring module no longer produces the required accuracy. Abort range
calibration with 'No' and repeat using new measuring module.
If you set 'Dongle Assignment/Measuring Circuit' to 'Yes', scale is properly calibrated
but recalibration is necessary after exchange of measuring module.
5.4.5.4 Fct. 4454:Set current range

This function switches a multi-range scale in the smallest range valid for the current
weight reading.
5.4.5.5 Fct. 4455:Resolution x 10

Activate this function to see the current weight reading at 10 times the resolution.
5.4.5.6 Computational Range Calibration

Scales for in-plant use can also be calibrated theoretically. This method makes good
sense whenever weight calibration is difficult to perform (e.g. with mixer scales).
In place of dead weight and range calibration, you enter parameters "Dead Weight'
and 'Calibration Factor' by hand.
We recommend to perform a check with material.

5.4.5.7 Setting Range With Multi-Range Scale

The setting of parameter 'Type' (=Scale Type; see Menu Item '442:Mode') defines if
your scale operates as multi-range or multi-divisional scale. Calibrate multi-range or
multi-divisional scale in the exact same way as you are accustomed to doing with a
standard scale.
Please note that the range calibration uses the range with the highest full scale value.
Partial ranges are not calibrated. Deviations can be corrected by linearization.
5.4.5.8 Fct. 4452:Linearization

The linearization function permits the scale characteristic to be corrected in three
spectrum points (25%, 50%, 75% of full scale value) by up to ± 9.9 increments.
Before performing linearization, calibrate scale dead weight and

range.
Determining characteristic
Determine characteristic deviation in each spectrum point and enter value.
• Apply 25% of range as calibration weight.

• Read actual weight and note value.
• Calculate correction value in increments (increment e stands topleft on
display) using this formula:
Correction value = (Setpoint - actual weight) / Increment value

(with multi-divisional/multi-range scales, increment value of big range)
• Enter correction value in increments at menu item '4452:Linearization'.

• Check deviation. If necessary, repeat.
Resume from next spectrum point (50 %, 75 %).
Example
You have a scale with 600 kg weighing range and 0.2 kg increment value (i.e. with
3000 increments).
Upon linearization, scale at spectrum point 50 % (= 300 kg) shows a value of 300.28.
To linearize scale, calculate correction value in increments (not in kg) using above
formula and enter value:
Correction value = (300.00kg - 300.28kg) / 0.2kg = -0.28 / 0.2 = -1.4
The correction value to be entered is -1.4.
Operating Sequence

SSt 25% d: +0.00

Enter acquired value and acknowledge with [ENTER] key.
Resume from next spectrum point.
Exit function with [OK] key.
5.4.5.9 Checking Calibration
Check Using Weight

Scale calibration is normally followed by a check using staggered weights. For legal-
for-trade scales, definite Board of Trade regulations have to be observed.
With non-legal-for-trade scales, we suggest to use weights of 25%, 50% and 75% of
full scale value. If unlinearity is detected, you can correct characteristic using the
'Linearization' function (see Menu Item '4452:Linearization').
Check Using Material

With theoretically calibrated scales, a check using calibration weights is often difficult
to perform. In this case, a check using material is recommended.
Weigh a good on your calibrated scale. Its weight should amount to at least 50% of
maximum range. Check this weight on an accurate reference scale. If need be, you
can correct the calibration factor until the two weight indications coincide. If values
differ by multiple percent, an error has occurred.
5.4.6 Fct. 443:Configure Legal-For-Trade Memory

Alternatively to the legal-for-trade printout on a connected (redundant) printer,
DISOMAT offers the possibility to store the legal-for-trade weigh data in an optional
memory (Legal-For-Trade Memory VMM 20400) or in a connected PC. (For
DISOSAVE program, see also Spec Sheet BV-D2045).
If parameter 'L-f-T Memory' is set to 'Low', legal-for-trade results must be printed on
paper.

Selection: Off, External, Internal
(Default = Off)
Function: Determines weigh data destination
Off = Legal-for-trade memory not used

External = Data are sent to DISOSAVE PC program using
EDP protocol 3964R. User data are transferred in coded
form.
Internal = Data are stored in (optional) DISOMAT legal-for-

5.4.6.2 Parameter 'Minimum Number of Days'

Display: Min. no. days 90
Input: Minimum value = 90 days (required by Board of Trade)
Maximum value = 730 days (2 years)
Function: Defines minimum storage period of legal-for-trade values in
days. Relevant only if local legal-for-trade memory
(VMM20400) is used.
The two MB internal legal-for-trade memory can store approx.

500 weighing operations per day over a period > 90 days. If
legal-for-trade memory is full and contains legal-for-trade
data younger than 90 days, an event message is output.
DISOMAT cannot be used for certified applications at the
time being.
Note: If legal-for-trade memory is used and weigh data storage fails, an event
message is output (A2305: Legal-for-trade memory FULL).

Setting Mode Fct. 5b:Reset All(Restart)
5.5 Fct. 5b:Reset All(Restart)

Restart is required, for instance, if recommended by event messages of Class 'S'
(Fault).
ATTENTION: Perform restart right before completing commissioning. After restart of

DISOMAT, ONLY event message "A03XX Restart" may be available. Any other event,
particularly parameter errors, must be remedied before commissioning can be brought
to completion.
Restart ('Reset all') loads all parameters from EEPROM memory into main
memory (RAM). In EEPROM, data (parameter values, function block
linkages) are stored fail-safe.
All data in main memory are overwritten.
Operating Sequence
Before restarting system, enter Restart password (see Item 5.1). After successful
input, another menu item appears in SERVICE menu:

Function Variants Filling Scale
6.2 Filling Scale

6.2.1 General Functioning
Before operating a filling scale, make yourself familiar with the general
functioning of your DISOMAT.
The filling scale is designed to fill material from a surge hopper into a weigh hopper.
Single and multiple fill operations are possible.
Filling
DISOMAT controls a fill unit for filling in full feed and dribble feed until setpoint is
reached. the amount fed out is checked for tolerance; if required, make-up filling takes
place. In case of overfill, an event message is output.
To start filling,
• Press F1 key, or
• Set input contact 1, or
• Send EDP command or
• PLS contact.
To stop filling,
• PLS contact.

To abort filling,
• Press [SHIFT] + [F2] (Functionkey F5), or

• PLS contact.
Fill parameters (pre-fill value, pre-act contact, main contact, tolerance and
optimization) depend on material properties. Menu item '473:Material Data' lets you
store 2 parameter records (corresponding) to 2 different material properties).
Parameter record is selected upon setpoint input in form of the material number.
For details of fill parameters see item 'Parameters'.
Discharging
Discharge takes place automatically. Parameter Max.Fill Weight is the criterion for
start of discharge; Parameter Discharge Weight, for end of discharge. Set these
parameters using function block (see Service Manual BV-H2141xx).
NOTE: When setting parameters, make allowance for build-ups in weigh hopper, if
any.
Discharge commences (i.e. Output F-Disch = '1'), if
1. filling is complete, and

2. Gross weight in hopper exceeds maximum fill weight.
Discharging continues until parameter Discharge Weight is reached and discharge

time has elapsed.
With the use of different parameter settings, single and multiple fill operations can be
realized.
Single Filling
With single fill operations including discharge, ensure that parameter Max. Fill Weight
is smaller than setpoint. It is useful to set Max. Fill Weight parameter to 0.
Multiple Filling
With multiple fill operations, set Max. Fill Weight parameter value right under the total
amount to be filled. Multiple fill operations are performed one after the other, if
necessary, using different setpoints. the last fill operation exceeds Max. Fill Weight
value. DISOMAT sets Output 3 to 1 (discharge).

6.2.2 Function Keys

With the Filling Scale, the function keys are assigned as follows:
'Start Filling'
F1 key: 'Start'
'Stop Filling'
F2 key: 'Stop'

6.2.4 Standard Operating Sequence

This item explains the regular operating activities, i.e.
• Perform feed operation

• Print weigh data.
For other regular activities, e.g. enter setpoint and string, see manual BV-H2313, Item
4.2.
Feeding - With Automatic Taring Upon Feed Start

Feeding starts and normally continues until feeding is complete. Before start of
feeding (F3 key) , enter or check setpoint.
You can stop feeding at any time, restart and complete, or abort it.
Every weighing operation (aborted or complete) is balanced automatically.
If feeding is complete, a weighing report is printed.
Feeding - Without Automatic Taring Upon Feed Start

Feeding can also be performed without automatic taring. To do so, set function block
parameter Taring to No.
Weight value displayed is used as setpoint.
Exception: Partially Filled Hoppers
Drums are to be filled using a known tare weight. Drums still contain a residual
amount of material (e.g. 4 kg). To reach the defined setpoint (e.g. 50 kg), enter
known tare weight of drum in manual ('8:Enter Manual Tare') or select fixed tare
value ('7:Select Fixed Tare'), i.e. scales tares using this value. Upon start of
feeding, 46 kg are added to reach the defined setpoint (e.g. 50 kg).

This items reflects a typical operating sequence of a Filling Scale.

containing a residual amount of material is to be filled. In this case, the taring
operation before filling is omitted.

6.2.5 Operating Activities

There are three types of printout and one print repeat function. For information on
formatting, see manual BV-H2313, Item 5.2.1.
Single Printout
After every fill operation, aborted or completed, system automatically performs a
single printout (weighing report). For single printout, DISOMAT uses form format 2.
Totals Printout
After one (or multiple) weighing operations, you can print total by pressing
[SHIFT]+[F3] (function key F6). System outputs the cumulative weight value of all fill
operations. Then, totals value (balance) is cleared, i.e. the totals weight of all weighing
operations performed and the number of fill operations are set to zero. For totals
printout, DISOMAT uses form format 3.
Sub-Totals Printout
[SHIFT]+[F1] (function key F4) lets you print current balance total at any time. After
one (or multiple) weighing operations, you can print sub-total using menu item
'33:Print3'. Print pattern is the same as with totals printout, however, the totals
memory is not cleared.

6.3 Discharge Scale

Before operating a discharge scale, make yourself familiar with the

general functioning of your DISOMAT.
The discharge scale is designed to batch material out of a weigh hopper. Single and
multiple discharge operations are possible.
Filling
DISOMAT controls a fill unit for discharging in full feed and dribble feed until setpoint
is reached. the amount fed out is checked for tolerance; if required, make-up filling
takes place. In case of overfill, an event message is output.
To start filling,
• PLS contact.

To stop filling,
• PLS contact.
To abort filling,
• Press [SHIFT] + [F2] (function key F5), or

• PLS contact.
The fill parameters (pre-fill value, pre-act contact, main contact, tolerance and
optimization) depend on material properties. Menu item '473:Material Data' lets you
store 2 parameter records (corresponding) to 2 different material properties).
Parameter record is selected upon setpoint input in form of the material number.
For details of fill parameters see item 'Parameters'.
Refilling
Weigh hopper is automatically refilled from surge hopper via a gate/valve (Output 3).
Refilling commences as soon as the amount in weigh hopper has fallen below the
value of parameter 'Fill Weight' and continues until the value of parameter 'Max. Fill
Weight' is reached. Set these parameters using function block.
Refilling takes place (i.e. Output D-Fill='1') if
1. discharge operation is complete, and

2. gross weight in hopper is smaller than the value of parameter 'Fill Weight'.
Refilling continues until the value of parameter 'Max. Fill Weight' is reached. With the
use of different parameter settings, single and multiple fill operations can be realized.
Single Filling
With single fill operations, set parameters Fill Weight and Max.Fill Weight to the
same value (in excess of setpoint).
Multiple Filling
With multiple fill operations, set max. Fill Weight parameter to a value exceeding the
total amount to be discharged. Ensure that Fill Weight parameter value is smaller than
setpoint.

Alternatively, you can also
• perform a mere GROSS weighing. 'Acquire Tare' and 'Clear Tare' functions
are omitted.
• key in a known hopper or pallet dead weight. Use 'Enter Tare In Manual'
function ( [F1] key) in place of 'Acquire Tare'.
• call up the known hopper or pallet dead weight from the list of stored tare
values. Use the "Select Tare from List" function ( [F3] key) in place of 'Acquire
Tare'.


• Enter manual tare

• Enter string
For other regular operating activities, see manual BV-H2313, Item 4.2, i.e.
• Select fixed tare

• Acknowledge error.
Enter Manual Tare

With the cargo scale, you can enter the tare value in manual
• using function key F1

• in menu tree using menu item '8:Manual tare'
The type of input is the same in either case.

Enter String
With the cargo scale, you can enter string
• using function key F2

• in menu tree using menu item '2:Enter String'
The type of input is the same in either case.

Print Weigh Data
There are three types of printout and one print repeat.
Single Printout
Start single printout after weighing using [SHIFT]+[F1] (function key F4), with unit load
being positioned on scale.
Single printout uses form format 1.
For details on form format, see manual BV-H2313, Item 5.2.
Totals Printout
After one (or multiple) weighing operation(s), start totals printout with [SHIFT]+[F3]
(function key F6). Totals printout clears balance memory, i.e. number of weighing
operations and totals value are reset. For totals printout, system uses form format 3.
Sub-Totals Printout
After one (or multiple) weighing operation(s), start sub-totals printout using menu item
'33:Print3'. Form of printout is the same as with totals printout, however, balance is
not reset.
Repeat Printout
Repeat last printout as many times as required using [SHIFT]+[F2] (function key F5),
e.g. if you need a copy of if printout was faulty.

Function Variants Weighbridge ZEUS
6.6 Weighbridge ZEUS

Before operating a road weigh bridge, make yourself familiar with the
general functioning of your DISOMAT.
The ZEUS road/rail weigh bridge is designed to determine and record the weights of
goods unloaded from or loaded onto trucks or wagons.
There are three ways of weight acquisition:
• Two weighing operations, one performed on loaded, the other, on empty

vehicle (first / second weighing)
• Weighing of loaded vehicle and comparison of weight with previously weighed
and permanently stored empty weight (weighing with fixed tare weight)
• Weighing of loaded vehicle and comparison of weight with manually entered
empty weight (single weighing).
6.6.2 Activation
In contrast to other function variants, the road weigh bridge has to be activated before
using it for the first time.
Please do the following:
• Key in a password in the menu tree such as the parameter password.

• Call up item 5d (Option Management) in the SERVICE submenu.
• Read out the given unit ID that gives you the activation code if you purchased
the ZEUS option. Please ask Schenck Sales.
• Then key in the activation code in the same menu item.
6.6.3 Configuration
The ZEUS program is configured in menu item '574: Configuration'. The following is
set:
• Vehicle text: you can use this text to query the vehicle numbers in operation.
'Motor Vehicle Number Plate' is preset.
• Check wagon number: If you select 'Yes', the input will be interpreted as
wagon number and the check digit is checked. 'No' is preset.
• Query text for sorts: you can use this text to query the sort number in
operation. 'Sort' is preset. If this text is deleted, the sort query no longer
applies.
Then the standard print forms should be loaded for the road weigh bridge in menu
item 468 .

Proceed as described at Second Weighing item. ZEUS assigns memory numbers 41
to 65 to known vehicles.
System prompts for input of material number in any case. Proceed as described at
First Weighing item.
6.6.7 Further Functions
Set to zero with ZeroSet key' to set scale to zero.

Zero settings can be effected only if scale is unloaded ( -1%...+3% of rated capacity).
Files
The data acquired by ZEUS are internally stored fail-safe in files.
The First Weighings File contains the data of all vehicles in plant (maximum 40)
expected for second weighing.
The Fixed Tare File contains the data of all vehicles (maximum 25) of your car pool or
of regular customers.
The Materials File contains all materials to be accumulated. This function facilitates
material indication in case of weighings where the 25 possible inputs in materials file
can be called up via material number.
Your commissioning engineer will explain to you how to access and edit these files, if
you desire so. You can select:
• Show data
• Clear data
• Print file
In Fixed Tare file you can additionally
• Create data
as described at Weighing Using Fixed Tare Weight item.

In materials file, you can additionally
• Create data
i.e. assign numbers 1...25 to material name, and
• Clear mat. totals
i.e. process cumulative totals.

You can also select
• Text prompt
to replace prompt
MAT. :
by any prompt text of your choice.
For data processing functions, see menu item 58 "FILES". No password is required.
6.6.8 Hints, Possible Events
• Set printer to on-line. If not, certain outputs are buffered and printed only if
printer is reset to on-line. However, there is the danger of weigh data getting
lost.
• Vehicle Found message
The vehicle with the indicated vehicle number is in plant and has been first-
weighed. Perform second weighing or delete input in First Weighings File.
• Value Too High message
You have entered a vehicle number outside range 1...40 or, with vehicle
stored in Fixed Tare File, out of range 41...65.
• M0710:Zero-Error message
Scale can be zeroed only if totally unloaded, i.e. if display does not show more
than +3%, or not less than -1% of rated capacity range.
6.6.9 Deleting/Handling Error Messages

Some error messages are designed to warn you by periodic overwrite of display field
that a response is absolutely required. Before you acknowledge a message of this
kind, remove cause of fault. Then you can acknowledge event by operating the
'Acknowledge Event' keys + .
6.6.10 Deselect 'Release Weighing Operation' Prompt

The prompt before printout 'Contin.: Weigh/Abort' can be deselected in menu tree at
the function '421:Parameters' item for the respective type of weighing (first, second,
single weighing). Enter parameter password.

6.6.11 ZEUS Print Pattern Codes

'EW' = Weight from first weighing
'EU' = Time of first weighing
'ED' = Date of first weighing
'ZW' = Weight from second weighing
'ZU' = Time of second weighing
'ZD' = Date of second weighing
'KF' = Vehicle number
'SN' = Material number
'SO' = Material name
'WN' = First weighing memory number
'WE' = Weight difference, weighing result (first weighing minus second weighing)
6.6.12 Signal Control Using DISOMAT Opus-ZEUS

The standard DISOMAT Opus-ZEUS is capable of controlling a signal system
consisting of entrance and exit signal, each with one red and one green light. Signal
control is as follows:
• When vehicle drives onto scale, entrance and exit are closed to traffic (RED
signal).
• If weighing is complete, exit signal turns GREEN.
• If scale is totally relieved, entrance signal also turns GREEN, and scale is
ready for next weighing operation.
A single exit signal, i.e. signal system with red light only, is controlled in the same
fashion.
If a vehicle drives on scale inadvertently, exit can be released with key combination
+ and no weighing takes place.
Connecting signal system to ZEUS:
Contact: concerns: Function:

XDO Contact 2 Output 1 Exit signal, RED light
XDO Contact 3 Output 2 Exit signal, GREEN light
XDO Contact 4 Output 3 Entrance signal, RED light
XDO Contact 5 Output 4 Entrance signal, GREEN light
XDO Contact 1 Outputs 1-4 Common root
Operating sequence can be set to "Weighing Complete" (GREEN exit signal) via EDP
command.
DISOMAT Opus outputs can control 230V lights directly. Cables of 1.5 mm2 cross-
section per core can be connected directly.
The traffic signal thresholds are preset with 1% of full scale "(scale loaded)" and
0.01% "(scale empty)".

6.9 What If...?

DISOMAT recognizes faults in operation and reports them in form of an event
message. If you come across such an event message, please read the explanations
given in manual BV-H2313, Chapter 'Event Messages'.
Never acknowledge event message before having remedied fault.
Certain obvious faults may be due to maloperation or mechanical scale faults.

If a fault occurs, follow these steps:
1. Check to see if you have followed the operating sequence.

2. Check for the presence of a mechanical fault. Check for unstable scale
performance, shunt forces, jammed gates / valves, etc.
3. If an event message is output, read troubleshooting table.
4. Check to see that all parameters (e.g. setpoint) are appropriate.
Event Messages On Large-Size Display

Event information is output on large-size display in form of a flashing number code
(event number), e.g.
,0704
0704 = Event number without indication of error code
, = Attention Error
In our example, the event number is 0704; in manual BV-H2313, chapter 'Event
Messages', you find '0704:Out of Zeroing Range' complete with hints on remedy of
fault.
First remedy fault, then acknowledge event message on pendant.

Event Messages Event Message Construction
7 Event Messages
The DISOMAT displays hints on operating sequence and scale information in
alternating mode, e.g.
A0209:Powerfail
Designed to inform you about important events, these hints require a certain reaction.
Simple cases are designed for information only, severe cases, e.g. critical faults in
operation, require to be remedied and acknowledged.
For you to be able to classify these hints, every event message is assigned to an
event class identified by a code letter.
Hints of the following event classes are displayed:
Event Class Code Significance Required Reaction

Message M Informative Note
Warning W Uncritical Acknowledge *)
Alarm A Critical Acknowledge *)
Fault S Very critical Acknowledge after password input *)
*) Never acknowledge event message before cause of fault has been

identified!
7.1 Event Message Construction

Event messages are constructed as follows:
KNNTT[-ID]:Text
K = Class (1 digit)
NN = Event number (2 digits)
TT = Task number (2 digits)
-ID = Optional ID number
:Text = Event text
The first letter (K) is the code letter of the event class currently assigned to the event.
The next 2-digit number (NN) is the unambiguous code of the reported event
(=consecutive number of all event texts). Next, the 2-digit number (TT) of the task
having started the event is output. Optionally, an ID number (ID) can be output
designed to specify the cause of the reported event. After the double point, the event
is output in text form.

Event Messages Event Message Construction
Defined Event Classes

Event Code Meaning
Class
No Event Event is NOT displayed but added to external event list for
evaluation purposes.
Message M For Information
Event serves for operator information; message effaces
automatically after approx. 30 seconds. If you don't want to wait for
automatic effacing, acknowledge without password. DISOMAT
continues operating regularly.
Warning W Warns the operator of uncritical situations. Note warning and
acknowledge (no password input). DISOMAT continues operating
regularly.
Alarm A Simple Fault
Warns the operator of critical situations. DISOMAT input/output
contacts stop being processed, and output contacts go to safe
state.*)
Observe alarm message and remedy cause of simple fault, if any;

acknowledge message (no password input). Inputs/outputs continue
being processed.
*)
As long as alarm is present, all fault-relevant binary function block
outputs (primarily function blocks of function block groups
CONTROL and COMPARATORS) are set to logical 0.
Fault S Severe Fault
Warns the operator of very critical situations, e.g. hardware faults. As
is with Alarm messages, inputs/outputs are not being processed, and
outputs go to safe state *) Remedy cause of fault to ensure that
system continues operating regularly. Then acknowledge fault
message after input of parameter or configuration password.
*)
As long as fault is present, all fault-relevant binary function block
outputs (primarily function blocks of function block groups
CONTROL and COMPARATORS) are set to logical 0.
Using event number, optional ID and event text, look out for fault finding hints and
remedy given in the Troubleshooting List below.
