1.3 Display
The indicator features a graphic display just as is shown in figure 1.3.1:
Figure 1.3.1 View of display
The date and time are shown in the upper left corner. On the right, appears the DSD memory
indicator (DSD OFF indicates that the DSD memory is not activated and DSD xxx% shows the
percentual value af free DSD storage memory).The Ethernet connection status can be seen to the
right, then the power status and finally, whether the character option for the numeric keys is activated.
The main weighing indicator is just below this across the entire display. This shows the weight
on the scale that is currently selected - in this case, scale 1-, and whether it is gross or net, if the
weight is stable and if it is zero.
Then, the secondary weighing indicator is shown. It is configurable (see section 5.2.1.7), and
shows the weight on the scale that is not currently selected,- in this case, scale 2-, and whether it is
gross or net, if the weight is stable and if it is zero. On weighing, this part is used to enter the data
(license plate, company, product, etc.).
Finally, the icons that assign the functionality to the F1 to F6 context keys appear (see 1.2.1).

2.7 Communications
The device has three serial ports for transmission and reception.
These communication ports can be configured in the configuration menu (points 5.2.2, 5.2.3
and 5.2.4)
As an optional module, it may feature a fourth communication port, which can be configured in
the configuration menu explained in section 5.2.5.
2.7.1 General Characteristics of the Remote Control
2.7.1.1 Remote Control Commands
The device can be controlled through one of the communication ports. For this function the

2.8 Verified data storage device (DSD)
2.8.1 Introduction and operation of DSD memory
DSD memory is a device that stores all the weighings performed (depending on configuration)
for a later verification of the printed tickets of weighings or sent to a communication port.
To make this check the DSD device generates a weighing identification code (ID) that is
printed on the tickets or is sent to the communication ports along with the weighing data. This ID and
the weighing date and time univocally identify the weighing.
This ID if the DSD is a cyclic counter that can reach up to 999999 and afterwards returns to 1.
Each time an operation is stored to the DSD that counter is incremented.
Weighing stored in that memory are configured in the SETUP menu (see 2.8.3.4).
2.8.1.1 DSD in Ticket
When DSD function is activated in ticket, the weighing identifier number (ID) is printed which may be
used when an operation wants to be checked (see section 2.8.2.1).
Example of ticket with DSD identification:
That example corresponds to a gross/tare/net ticket that appears on pressing key . In the first line
the ID of the DSD is showed.
For use in Germany an additional line is printed informing about the possibility of verifying the
authenticity of the weighing values through a query to the equipment.
2.8.1.2 DSD in Communications
DSD functionality may also be used through communication ports. In this case are always on
demand petitions and never in STREAM mode.

WARNING: When DSD functionality is used through serial ports it is
necessary to configure them with parity and that the equipment to which
MATRIX II is connected verifies the parity of the received data as a
measure for integrity check of it.

When a weight petition is performed through DSD functionality the equipment first checks that
the weight fulfills the conditions to be sent, afterwards it is saved to the DSD memory and then sent
through the communication port along with the ID generated by the DSD device.
Condition that the weight has to fulfill to be sent in petition with:
- Weight stability
- No ADC error or from the digital load cells
- Corresponding scale interface installed
- No OVERLOAD or UNDERLOAD
- Equipment DSD activated
- DSD not full
- Access to DSD with no error

If any of the previous conditions is not fulfilled the weighing is not stored in the DSD and returns
an error code.
Petition of weight command with serial port DSD:
- PDSD1 : stores the weighing of scale 1 to the DSD and returns the DSD block of data.
- PDSD2 : stores the weighing of scale 2 to the DSD and returns the DSD block of data.
- PDSD3 : stores the weighing of scale 3 (remkote scale) to the DSD and returns the DSD
block of data.

2.9 Remote scale Matrix II
2.9.1 Description
This indicator is able to use a platform connected to another device as if it was of its own. That
platform will appear as platform 3 and will be necessary a RS485 serial connection with the server
equipment and that it has the corresponding protocol.
The equipment that has the scale connected is called Server and the equipment that uses it
remotely is called Client.
2.9.2 Connection
The connection between the Server and Client equipments is performed through RS485 ports.
Matrix II may have two RS485 ports: COM 3 which is standard for all equipments, and an option
board RS485 isolated, that may be assembled as an option. Any of them may be used as Server or
Client as well.
2.9.3 Configuration
2.9.3.1 Client equipment configuration
For a remote scale is only necessary to configure the RS485 port in mode "WEIGHT CLIENT"
with the same baudrate and parity parameters as for the server equipment. Is is always necessary to
select 8 bits of data.
Figure 2.9.3.1.1
Operation
2-12
NOTE: When equipment has two RS485 ports it is not posible to configure both simultaneously
as "WEIGHT CLIENT". The error "VALUE NOT VALID" on trying to configure a port as "WEIGHT
CLIENT" when the other is already configured that way.
2.9.3.2 Server equipment configuration
The RS485 port in the server equipment has to be configured in the mode "WEIGHT SERVER"
with the same baudrate and parity parameters as the client equipment.
Figure 2.9.3.2.1
2.9.4 Functioning
Remote scale is selected with the scale change key and it will always appear as scale 3 no
matter the number of own platforms connected to the equipment.
It has to be taken into account that all the scale management like weigh calculations, zero
tracking, stability control, tare, gross net function, etc. are performed by the server equipment and the
client only sends requests and receives the weigh. So, all parameters and scale calibration may only
be performed by the server equipment.
In the setup section SETUP\INDICATOR\CONFIG\INITIAL SCALE it is also possible to select
the remote scale as the initial scale:
Figure 2.9.4.1
Differences between local and remote scale:
In the secondary weighing indication line it is not possible to show neither the mV/V nor the
weight x10 of the remote scale.
The use of the remote scale in the truck weighing application is exactly the same that for the
local scales, appearing in the tickets or database as scale 3. The remote scale has to have the same
units and decimal places that the local scales.
In the industrial applications the only difference with the local scales is that it is not allowed the
piece counter for the remote scale

3.7 Access control/Gate function
(By means of an optional digital output external module)
Functionality with which an access control may be performed using the digital outputs of the
optional external module. For that the option is activated by programming the paramenters of the
GATES option (see 3.9.5). Control is performed with the COM3 port or by the optional RS-485
internal board (COM4).
Digital outputs change its state to indicate if a truck may enter or exit the scale. These signals
are designed to control traffic lights or gates.
Input gates/traffic light allows access when the scale is free and closes/ser to red when the
weight value is above a certain value (programmable) and stabilizes. The weighing sequence is
started with F1, F2 or F4. Once the gross weight is below the programmed value, indicating the truck
is coming out and another one may come in, the gate/traffic light will open/set to green.
The output gate/traffic light is normally closed/red and is opened on ending the weighing
sequence started with F1, F2 or F4, allowing the truck to come out. The output gate/traffic light
closes/sets to red when the truck comes out and the weight is below the programmed value in section
GATES.
Operation:
 Scale empty  Input gate/traffic light: open/green
Input gate/traffic light: closed/red
 Truck comes in  Weight above minimum programmed for input and stable 
Input gate/traffic light: closed/red.
Input gate/traffic light: closed/red (keeps as it was)
 Start of weighing sequence with F1, F2 or F4. On ending the weighing sequence 
Input gate/traffic light: open/green.
Input gate/traffic light: closed/red (keeps as it was)
 Truck cones out  Weight below minimum programmed for output 
Input gate/traffic light: closed/red,
 Weight below minimum programmed for input 
Input gate/traffic light: open/green
 Scale empty (end of operation)
Truck weighing application
3-8
If the same minimum weight is programmed for both input and output, when the truck comes out
both gates/traffic lights change their state at once.

SAFETY NOTE
In case of using that function for mechanical gates control, it is highly
recommendable that they have a safety device to avoid them to close
while a truck is passing through

3.8 Filling function
3.8.1 General description
The filling function enables the control of an automatic loading system of material in a truck.
Control is performed through one or more external modules with DIN rail format of digital outputs
(relays) and inputs. These modules connect to a Matrix II through a RS485 bus using COM3 port or
the optional COM4.
The filling process has a similar sequence than an entrance and exit of a truck. In this case the
two weighings take place without moving the truck: the first weighing is made before starting the filling
process and the second on ending. The start of the filling sequence is made through the key F4 -
instead of F1 - and the result of the filling is stored in the database in the same way that it would in a
double weighing -made through F1-. Once pressed F4 the equipment requires introducing the truck
license plate. On the developing of this function the equipment shall never take into account if the
truck has already a first weighing introduced in the system, and is then pending of a second weighing,
or else, if the truck has a memorized tare. The two corresponding weights shall always be performed.
3.8.2 Main characteristics
- Filling to 1 or 2 speeds.
- Filling entering net or gross weight.
- Programming of inflight (cut-off point of the thin filling) with automatic adjustment.
- Programming of slow section (cut-off point of the coarse filling) when a filling to 2 speeds is
performed.
- Programmable error margins above and below the desired weight.
- Programming of error margins by percentage or by weight.
- Detection of lack of material (configurable).
- Start of filling by external input, by keyboard or by external input.
- Automatic acceptance of the second weighing or by user’s validation.
- Independent configuration and filling parameter for scale 1 and scale 2.
- Indicator relays of the filling process and errors.
- Digital inputs for starting, pausing, blocking and cancelling the filling by means of external
signals.

3.9.6 FILLING
Filling configuration can be found in the truck weighing configuration menu. It is accessed on
pressing showing the following menu:
Figure 3.9.6.1
On accessing the filling options the equipment will require the correct introduction of the PIN,
which will then allow us to modify the configuration:
Figure 3.9.6.2
If the correct PIN is not introduced the parameter will be showed but it is not possible to change
them. Once the PIN is introduced the following screen will be shown:
Figure 3.9.6.3
In the bi-scale equipments we shall have two independent filling systems although only one truck
may be filled every time.
On accessing the corresponding scale filling menu the following configuration parameters are
showed:
Figure 3.9.6.4
Truck weighing application
3-26
3.9.6.1 Filling parameters
3.9.6.1.1 ACTIVATED
Indicates if the filling function is available. When available the corresponding icon appears at the
key of the main screen.
Possible values: YES, NO.
3.9.6.1.2 SPEEDS
Indicates if the filling will be performed at one or two speeds.
- One speed: there is a material control relay and so one only filling speed. The equipment will
activate the FINE relay until reaching the desired weight minus the inflight.
- Two speeds: there are two material control relays and so two filling speeds. While the weight
is below the desired weight minus the slow section the FINE and GROSS relays are
activated. Once this value is reached only the FINE relay will continue activated. On reaching
the desired weight minus the inflight the FINE relay will be desactivated.
Possible values: 1,2
3.9.6.1.3 FILLING TYPE
That parameter selects if the weight introduced will be net or gross.
Net weight means that the truck will be loaded with the weight of the filled material. The final
weight on the scale will be the weight of the truck empty plus the weight to be filled.
Gross weight means that the filling of the truck will be performed until the gross weight reaches
the filling value introduced, and so, the final weight on the scale will be that weight.
Possible values: NET, GROSS, ASK
If the option ASK is selected, on performing the filling data entrance sequence the indicator will
ask the user what type of filling desires. Example:
Figure 3.9.6.1.3.1
If CANCEL is selected the filling is aborted.
3.9.6.1.4 ASK WEIGHT
That parameter indicates if during the filling data entrance sequence the weight to dose will be
required to the user or if the weight programmed at the configuration menu will be used. In case the
weight is required there is the option that the last introduced weight to be showed or that always
shows zero.
Possible values: NO, LAST, ASK
NO: the programmed weight will be used without asking.
LAST: a window will be showed asking for the weight. The initial value will be the same introduced
in the previous filling or zero if the equipment has just started.
ASK: a window will be showed asking for the weight. The initial value will always be zero. That
makes the introduction of the value mandatory every time and avoids the accidental validation of a
previous value.
Truck weighing application
3-27
Example of the screen showed when asking the weight to fill is activated:
Figure 3.9.6.1.4.1
3.9.6.1.5 START OF FILLING
Indicates how the filling is started after the filling data entrance:
Possible values:
AUTO: The filling starts immediately after the entrance of the parameters.
KEY: the equipment will require a keyboard confirmation before starting the filling.
ENTRADA: starting will be validated through an external digital input (for example a pushing
button).
TECLA+ENTRADA: the filling will be started by a keyboard confirmation or an external input (the
first occurrence).
Example of screens showed before starting the filling:
Figure 3.9.6.1.5.1
Figure 3.9.6.1.5.2
3.9.6.1.6 2nd WEIGHING
Configuration option used to indicate if on ending the filling the second weighing will be performed
directly or if a user confirmation will be required.
Possible values:
AUTO: Second weighing will be performed directly after ending the filling process.
KEY: A user confirmation will be required to perform the weighing.
Truck weighing application
3-28
Example of weighing confirmation requirement:
Figure 3.9.6.1.6.1
In that case the weight used as the second weighing will be the one in the screen at the moment
of acceptance, it is to say, if during the confirmation requirement material is added or removed that
will be reflected in the second weighing. That allows manual corrections of the filling.
3.9.6.1.7 FINAL WEIGHT
That weight is used as the weight to fill when the parameter ASK WEIGHT is configured to NO. For
the rest of cases that weight is not used.
3.9.6.1.8 INFLIGHT
Menu for the inflight configuration. The screen is as follows:
Figure 3.9.6.1.8.1
The inflight for dosing or filling is the amount of product that keeps falling once the gates or the
product control system is closed. To compensate that fall of material the FINE relay is cut before
reaching the desired weight. That difference between the desired value and the cut value is the
inflight.
As that value shall be varying in time and is also difficult to predict accurately, the equipment has
an automatic correction system that adjusts the inflight value according to the results of the different
fillings. That automatic correction system shall be configured or void if desired.
Inflight configuration has three parameters: Inflight, correction and maximum correction.
INFLIGHT: Weight value for the calculation of the cut value for the FINE relay. The calculation is:
FINE cut weight = Filling weight - INFLIGHT
CORRECTION: Percentage of correction to be applied to the current INFLIGHT after a filling. That
means that after a filling the final error is calculated (difference between real and desired weight) and
that percentage is applied adding or subtracting it to the INFLIGHT accordingly:
( )
100
CORRECTION
Correctionvalue = Desired weight - Real weight ⋅
If that parameter is left to zero the automatic correction is deactivated and the value of
INFLIGHT is kept the same as the programmed value.
MAX. CORRECTION: Maximum correction value to be applied at once. If after making the
calculation the correction value surpasses the MAX.CORRECTION parameter value only that
correction will be applied. If that value is left to zero the comparison is deactivated and so there is no
limit of correction.
Truck weighing application
3-29
 

Default values:INFLIGHT = 0
CORRECTION = 0 (DEACTIVATED)
MAX. CORRECTION = 0 (DEACTIVATED)
3.9.6.1.9SLOW SECTION

Parameter only valid if the filling is at two speeds. This parameter determines, along with the
inflight, the GROSS relay cut value point, leaving only activated the FINE relay.
To calculate the GROSS cut point, subtract the final weight desired, the inflight and the
programmed slow section value:
GROSS cut value = Final weight – INFLIGHT – SLOW SECTION
Default value = 0
3.9.6.1.10 MARGIN OF ERROR
Menu option where the final weight check is configured allowing to give an error if the final weight
is outside the margins programmed here.
That check may be activated or deactivated. The inferior margin is independent from the superior
and the value may be programmed in weight or in a percentage of the desired value.
The menu is as follows:
Figure 3.9.6.1.10.1
MARGIN TYPE: Indicates if the margin values programmed are in weight or in percentage.
ERROR MARGIN+: Positive error margin. If the final weight is above that value or the percentage
to the desired weight will show an error in screen and an error relay will be activated.
ERROR MARGIN-: Negative error margin. If the desired weight minus the final weight is above
that value or percentage an error in the screen will be shown and an error relay will be
activated.
If both margins are left to zero that check is deactivated.
Example of the screen with the final weight out of margins:
Figure 3.9.6.1.10.2
The equipment gives the option to accept or reject the weighing. Before accepting the weighing
material can be added or removed manually if the filling wants to be corrected. On accepting it the
current weight is acquired as the second weighing.
Default values:
MARGIN TYPE: Weight
MARGIN OF ERROR+:0 (DEACTIVATED)
MARGIN OF ERROR-:0 (DEACTIVATED)
Truck weighing application
3-30
3.9.6.1.11 MATERIAL ERROR
Option through which the lack of material detection may be programmed. In case of being
activated en error will generated if during the filling process it is detected that the weight does not
increase.
Figure 3.9.6.1.11.1
Detection is configured through two parameters:
TIME: Indicates the time of detection in seconds. If it is set to zero the detection is deactivated.
Default value: 0
WEIGHT CHANGE: Possible values are: STABILITY, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 divisions. That
value indicates how much the weight has to change during the time programmed in the
TIME parameter. Default value: STABILITY.
STABILITY option indicates that if during the filling the weight becomes stable in a time as the
programmed in TIME, a lack of material error will arise.
If instead of STABILITY we select some divisions we will be selecting that the weight has to
increase more than these divisions by time programmed. If the speed is lower a lack of material error
will arise.
Example of a lack of material error screen:
Figure 3.9.6.1.11.2
When an error arises we have three options:
CANCEL: Cancel the filling and the weighing. Will be shown:
RESUME: Resumes filling from the point where it was. Option to be selected when the lack of
material problem has been solved (for example: material has been replaced)
END: Accepts the weighing as is. The second weighing will be done with the current weight and
the weighing will be recorded. Option to be selected when the lack of material may not be solved
immediately and the current weighing wants to be accepted even though the final desired value has
not been reached. See figure 3.9.6.1.11.3
Figure 3.9.6.1.11.3
Truck weighing application
3-31
3.9.6.1.12 WAITING TIME
Once reached the desired weight the FINE relay is deactivated, waits for stability and starts that
waiting time. On ending, the process of the weighing checking and ending continues. If during that
time the weight becomes unstable the time counter starts again from zero.
That time is used in systems where there is not enough with waiting for stability on ending the
filling because material may fall after reaching stability.
Default value: 0
3.9.6.1.13 RELAY.CONFIG
Section to configure the filling control and information relays.
The screen is as follows:
Figure 3.9.6.1.13.1
A list of the available functions appears and at the right side the assigned relay. The relay is
specified with a number and module direction (1 to 15) and a relay number (1 to 8). For example
[01:3] indicates relay number 3 of module 1. If no relay has been assigned appears[--.-].
Function that may be assigned to a relay:
FAST: Relay to control the gross flow of the filling system.
SLOW: Relay to control the fine flow of the filling system.
ERROR: Activated when there is an error in the equipment during the filling.
FILLING ERROR: Activated if on ending the filling the weight is outside the programmed margins
of error.
MATERIAL ERROR: Activated if there is a lack of material error.
ACTIVATED: Activated during the filling process.
PAUSE: Activated if the filling is paused.
If a relay is not programmed it means that this function will not activate any relay.
To start the filling is mandatory to program at least the FINE relay for 1 speed fillings, or the FINE
and GROSS relays for a 2 speed.
It is not allowed to program two functions to the same relay.
Neither is allowed to use the same relay for more than one equipment function, such as gates and
dosing. If a relay is already being used in another function an error will arise on programming it.
Option RESET CONFIG.erases all the configuration of the filling relays for that scale.
Used for starting a configuration from scratch.
If a question mark appears at the right side of the relay, as showed in figure 3.9.6.1.13.2, means
that the module that corresponds to that relay is not installed. Go to \SETUP\EXTERNAL
MODULES\INSTALLATION to install the modules.

Figure 3.9.6.1.13.2
All the relay configuration screens have the following format:
Figure 3.9.6.1.13.3
If a relay which is being used by another function is introduced the equipment will arise an error.
That is solved using another relay or changing it to the function that was already using it.
3.9.6.1.14 CONFIG. INPUTS
Section to configure the filling control inputs throught the following screen:
Figure 3.9.6.1.14.1
Option RESET CONFIG.erases all the configuration of the filling inputs for that scale.
Used for starting a configuration from scratch.
It is only necessary to configure these inputs if the corresponding function wants to be used.
Possible functions:
START INPUT: Used to start the filling when parameter START FILLING is configured to INPUT
or KEY+INPUT.
PAUSE: On activating that input during the filling process it is stopped and placed in pause.
CANCEL: On activating that input during the filling it is cancelled directly.
CONTINUE: Validates weight, pieces and cycles entries. Resumes the filling when the equipment
is paused.
BLOCKING: That signal blocks the filling while being active. The filling is automatically resumed
when the signal is deactivated. Blocking state is similar to pause: the filling relays are
deactivated and all error checks are stopped. During blocking the filling may be cancelled

4.2.8 Dosing function
4.2.8.1 General description
Dosing function allows loading and unloading of a product controlled by its weight in an automatic
way.
Dosing electromechanical system control is performed through one or more external modules
DIN-rail format that have digital outputs (relays) and inputs. These modules are connected to a Matrix
II through a RS485 bus using COM3 port or COM4 (optional, galvanically isolated).
There are six different working modes that are selected through the industrial application
configuration menu. Once selected the working mode, the access keys to the dosing functions will
appear in the context keys of the main display.
Dosing program allows interacting with other systems (light and sound alarm indicators, starting
buttons, blocking security sensors, PLCs, etc)
Dosing function operation will be given by its own configuration and according to it we will have to
introduce more or less parameters for starting dosing.
4.2.8.1.1 Main characteristics
- One product dosing at 1 or 2 speeds.
- Six dosing functions: 2 for loading, 2 for unloading, loading+unloading and loading/unloading.
- Possibility to work with weight or pieces.
- Dosing in gross or net (only in loading mode).
- Possibility to make cycles (up to 99).
- Inflight programming (cut-off point of the thin filling) with configurable automatic adjustment.
- Dosing parameters set by configuration or by keyboard input by the user on starting dosing.
- Programmable error margins above and below the desired weight.
- Error margins programming by percentage or weight.
- Lack of material detection (configurable).
- Possibility to add material to the weighing Hopper when a lack of material error appears when
working in discharge.
- Filling start through external input, keyboard or automatic.
- Independent configuration and dosing parameters for scale 1 and scale 2.
- Programmable delay time before acquiring final weight after dosing.
- Option for executing a configurable initial function before starting dosing.
- Option for executing a configurable end function after dosing.
- Execution of emptying function after dosing (configurable).
- Possibility for automatic ticket printing after each dosing.
- Dosing process and errors indicator relays.
- Digital inputs for dosing start, pause, block and cancel through external signals.

4.2.8.1.2 Dosing start screen
For using the dosing function we have to configure it. See section 4.3.4 of the industrial
application configuration menu.
According to the working function chosen in the configuration we will have some icons or
others in the main screen. To access them it can be necessary to press the key because they are
placed in the second group of the context key.
If we have selected the working model Charge we will have the following screen:

4.2.8.1.3.1 Possible functions resume
As already indicated there are six possible working functions:
1. Basic Charge
2. Basic Discharge
3. 1 PROD.-Charge
4. 1 PROD.-Discharge
5. Charge+Discharge
6. Charge/Discharge
See section 4.3.4 to select the dosing function.
Functions Basic Charge and Basic Discharge allow performing charges and discharges
without cycles with a basic and fast configuration.
1 PROD.- Charge function performs one or more dosing cycles (up to 99) charging material on
the weighing platform.

In the 1 PROD.- Discharge function the weighing platform is part of the material deposit that
has the dosing valve or valves and the programmed material quantity is discharged from this platform.
Discharge is always performed in net (weight or pieces).
Function Charge+Discharge performs a charge mode dosing (always working in gross weight)
followed by one or several discharging dosages (net). In that case we will have a charging system
comprised, for example, by a material deposit with one or two valves that charge material into the
hopper that makes the weighing platform. Also that hopper will have one or two valves with whom the
discharging to a third receptacle will be performed. In that case we will have up to 4 relays for dosing
control.
Charge/Discharge function is similar to Charge+Discharge but charging and discharging
operations are not automatically linked. In that case we will have a start charge key and
another one for discharge . Charging will perform a dosing up to a programmed gross weight
on the weighing platform and the discharging will perform one or more discharges from the weighing
platform of a programmed net weight.
4.2.8.1.3.2 Dosing screen
Example of a dosing screen:
Figure 4.2.8.1.3.2.1
That is an example of a dosing screen of the charge function.
In the superior zone the standard weight screen is kept.
In the middle and inferior zone we will have the following information:
• A: Shows the working function.
• B: Shows the dosing target. In that case dose 400kg plus a charge and discharge
cycle counter according to the case. That counter does not appear if one only cycle is
performed.
• C: Indication in real time of the real charged or discharged weight.
• D: Graphic and percentage indication of the charge or discharge process.
• E: Shows the current process status. Texts showed:
 "CHARGE FAST": Charge fast at 2 speeds.
 "CHARGE SLOW": Charge slow or at 1 speed.
 "DISCHARGE FAST": Discharge fast at 2 speeds.
 "DISCHARGE SLOW": Discharge slow or at 1 speed.
 "¿STABLE?:" Waiting stability to read weight.
 "WAIT...": Programmed delay time after dosing.
 "EMPTYING – nn": Emptying relay activated along with remaining time.
 "** PAUSED **" : Pause mode activated by keyboard or external input.
During pause charging and discharging valves are deactivated.
 "EXTERNALLY BLOCKED": Dosing blocked by an external digital input. During
block charging and discharging valves are deactivated.
 In case of performing any process or cycle start or end function it will also be
showed here.

4.2.8.1.3.3 Pause, continue or end during dosing
These options are common to all available working functions.
We can pause dosing by two ways: pressing key or through an external input if
programmed (see section 4.3.4.2.12). For both cases the relays that control the dosing valves will be
disconnected stopping the process. The screen will look like the following:
Figure 4.2.8.1.3.3.1
In the indication status it is showed that we are in pause mode with a blinking message.
If a pause relay is programmed (see section 4.3.4.2.12) it will be activated.
From no won we have two possible keys:
Continue dosing from where it was paused.
Ends process aborting dosing.
Or, with the external input CONTINUE (see section 4.3.4.2.12) we can continue dosing when
we are in pause, and activating the external input CANCEL (see section 4.3.4.2.12) cancel dosing at
any time being or not in pause.
4.2.8.1.3.4 Dosing phases
Dosing is defined in two blocks: process and cycle. For basic function we do not have the
process block. If we have the process block, this includes the cycle. Graphically it would be as
follows:
Process parameters are common for all working functions but Charge+Discharge. In that case
you can program the repetitions of the whole process (up to 99 repetitions).
Action performed by the cycle will be defined by the selected function. Actions performed by
the cycle may be charge, discharge or charge+discharge linked.

Here we enter the number of continued discharges to perform with a maximum 0f 99. If we
enter zero or nothing and validate, the equipment will perform as many discharges as possible with
the material on the platform. So, it will keep making discharges as long the weight is the same or
above the programmed discharge value.

The equipment will perform as many discharges as configured, and if several
charge+discharge cycles have been selected, will start again with another charge.
4.2.8.1.3.10 Charge/Discharge function
As already commented this is a mixed mode that allows making charges and discharges
pressing one key or another. Charges are always in gross weight and admit no cycles. Discharges
are always in net and several cycles may be selected. There is also the option to perform cyclic
discharges until there is not material enough to start more discharges.
The main screen for this mode is the following:
Figure 4.2.8.1.3.10.1
Key performs the last dosing ticket printing.
Key starts charge process.
Key starts discharge process.
Like in the rest of modes, depending on the configuration, the equipment will require more or
less parameters before starting dosing.
Screen that are showed are the same than in the charge and discharge modes already
explained except that the charge is always in gross and the discharge is always in net. Furthermore
charge admits no cycles.
That mode has not emptying option as well.

Then press the key to enter the configuration mode. The following screen will be shown:
Figure 4.3.1.3
4.3.2 TOTALIZER
The options are as follows:
- Ticket type
- Reset
4.3.2.1 TICKET TYPE
On this screen, you select the type of ticket that will be used in the totalize function. The
possible options are:
- Standard - Programmed - Disabled
4.3.2.2 REARM
On this screen, you program the value of the rearm weight in order to do a totalize operation.
This weight value is programmed in divisions.
The rearm weight means the following: after a weight accumulation operation, the weight
should go down below the programmed rearm value to allow for a new accumulation.
If the programmed value is zero, the weight just has to be unstable for a moment in order to
allow for a new accumulation. For this reason, the word STABILITY will appear if the zero value has
been programmed.
If you do accumulations with weight values below the rearm value, the weight just has to be
unstable for a moment in order to allow for a new accumulation.
4.3.3 PROGRAMMED TARES
There are three options in the programmed tare menu:
- Printout - Edit - Erase
4.3.3.1 PRINTOUT

4.3.4.2.8 CHARGE and DISCHARGE parameters description
Because charge and discharge functions have coincident parameters they are described in
only one section. For each parameter it is indicated it it is available for charge, discharge or both. For
that we use the following signs:
 available parameter
 not available parameter
4.3.4.2.8.1 SPEEDS
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

Establishes if dosing is performed at one or two speeds or flow rates. Possible options are:
• 2 SPEEDS: Two flow rates control relays are used. It allows faster dosing because
initially two dosing valves are open (fast+slow) and from one point only one valve
(slow) continues allowing a higher precision in the TARGET WEIGHT.
• 1 SPEED: Only one valve Works during the whole process.
4.3.4.2.8.2 ASK CHARGES
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

Establishes if the number of charges to perform will be requeted to the used. Possible options
are:
• NO: No screen will be shown requiring the number of charges.
• LAST: The number of charges to perform will be required. When the screen is shown
the last programmed value will be shown as default.
• ASK: The number of charges will be required showing zero as the default value. It is
mandatory to input as value.
- Parameter not available in BASIC CHARGE.
4.3.4.2.8.3 Nº CHARGES
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

For programming the number of cyclic charges that will be performed if we select NO in ASK
CHARGES.
Possible values: from 1 to 99 charges.
- Parameter not available in BASIC CHARGE.
4.3.4.2.8.4 ASK DISCHARGES
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

Establishes if the number of discharges to perform will be required to the used. Possible
options are:
• NO: No screen will be shown requiring the number of discharges.
Industrial application
4-32
• LAST: The number of discharges to perform will be required. When the screen is
shown the last programmed value will be shown as default.
• ASK: The number of discharges will be required showing zero as the default value. It is
mandatory to input as value.
- Parameter not available in BASIC DISCHARGE.
4.3.4.2.8.5 Nº DISCHARGES
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

For programming the number of cyclic discharges that will be performed if we select NO in
ASK DISCHARGES. For the rest of cases it is not used.
Possible values: from 1 to 99 discharges.
If we select 0 the equipment will perform discharges until there is not enough material on the
scale to perform a complete discharge, so, as long there is a weight on the platform that is the same
or more than the weight to dosify.
- Parameter not available in BASIC DISCHARGE.
4.3.4.2.8.6 WEIGHT TYPE
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

It allows programming the type of charging. Possible values:
• NET: Weight or pieces to dosify will be taken as net, so, the programmed quantity will
be added to the current quantity on the scale.
• GROSS: Weight or pieces to dosify will be taken as the end dosing value. The material
dosified will be the necessary so that if it is summed to the one already in the scale on
starting, will give the selected value as the result. Interesting option for filling a tank
until a selected value no matter the initial value that was already on starting the
CHARGE.
• ASK: The type of charging will be required to the used.
4.3.4.2.8.7 ASK WEIGHT
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

Parameter to establish if the weight or pieces to dose will be required to the user.
Possible values:
• NO: Weight or pieces will not be required. The programmed parameter of TARGET
WEIGHT will be used.
• LAST: Weight or pieces to dose will be required to the user. When the screen is
showed the last input will be shown as default.
• ASK: Weight or pieces to dose will be required to the user showing zero as the default
value. It is mandatory to input as value.
4.3.4.2.8.8 START CHARGE
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

Establishes if CHARGE starts automatically or waits for confirmation. Possible options are:
• AUTO: Starts automatically without requiring confirmation.
• KEY: Will stop waiting for a keyboard confirmation.
• INPUT: Will stop waiting for a signal through an external digital input.
• KEY + INPUT: It is a combination of the previous two. Process will stop waiting for
either a keyboard confirmation or external input.
- Parameter not available in BASIC CHARGE.

either a keyboard confirmation or external input.
- Parameter not available in BASIC DISCHARGE.
4.3.4.2.8.10 TARGET WEIGHT
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

Se programa el peso o las piezas a dosificar en el caso de que seleccionemos ASK WEIGHT
= NO. Para el resto de casos este valor no se utiliza.
For programming the weight or pieces to dose if we select ASK WEIGHT = NO. For the rest of
cases that value is not used.
4.3.4.2.8.11 INFLIGHT
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

Menu for inflight configuration. Screen example:
Figure 4.3.4.2.8.11.1
Inflight in a dosing is the quantity of product that is still falling once the valves or product
control system is closed. To compensate that material fall the SLOW relay us cut before reaching the
desired weight. That difference between the desired weight and the cut value is the INFLIGHT.
As this value may vary with time and is hard to predict exactly, equipment has an automatic
correction system that adjusts INFLIGHT value according to the results of the different dosings. That
system may be voided if desired.
Inflight configuration has three parameters: INFLIGHT, correction and maximum correction.
INFLIGHT: Weight value for SLOW relay cut point calculation. Value calculation is the following:
SLOW relay cut value = TARGET WEIGHT - INFLIGHT
CORRECTION: Correction percentage applied to the current INFLIGHT after a dosing. That means
that after a dosing the final error is calculated (difference between real weight and target) and the
percentage of this parameter is applied adding or subtracting to INFLIGHT value accordingly:
( )
100
CORRECCTION
CorrectionValue = TargetWeight - Re alWeight ⋅
If we set this value toz ero the automatic correction is disables and INFLIGHT value is left fix
to its programmed value.
MAX. CORRECTION: Maximum correction value to be performed at once. If after making the
correction value calculation, that value is higher than the MAX. CORRECTION parameter, only that
correction will be applied. If it is set to zero that comparison is disabled and so there is no correction
limit.
 

Default values:INFLIGHT = 0
CORRECTION = 50%

MAX. CORRECTION = 0 (DISABLED)
Industrial application
4-34
4.3.4.2.8.12 SLOW SECTION
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

That parameter is only valid if dosing at two speeds. Establishes, along with INFLIGHT, the
FAST relay cut point, only leaving the SLOW relay activated.
To calculate the FAST cut point we will subtract the desired TARGET WEIGHT, INFLIGHT
and the programmed slow section value:
FAST relay cut value = TARGET WEIGHT – INFLIGHT – SLOW SECTION
Default value = 0
4.3.4.2.8.13 ERROR MARGIN
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

Menu option to configure the TARGET WEIGHT check allowing to give an error if TARGET
WEIGHT is out of the margins programmed here.
That check may be activated or deactivated. Inferior margin is independent from superior and
may be programmed in weight or in percentage with respect the dosed value.
Example of the menú for CHARGE:
Figure 4.3.4.2.8.13.1
TYPE OF MARGIN: Indicates if we program the margins values in weight or percentage.
ERROR MARGIN+: Positive error margin. If TARGET WEIGHT is above in that value or
percentage to the desired weight an error on screen will be shown and DOSING ERROR
and ERROR relays will be activated (if configured).
ERROR MARGIN-: Negative error margin. If desired weight minus TARGET WEIGHT is above
that value or percentage weight an error on screen will be shown and DOSING ERROR
and ERROR relays will be activated (if configured).
If a margin is set to zero its check will be disabled.
Example of a TARGET WEIGHT out of margin screen:
Figure 4.3.4.2.8.13.2
Equipment gives the option to accept or reject the weighing.
If cyclic charges or discharges are being performed and the weighing of that cycle is not
accepted it will not be taken into consideration and will be repeated.
Default values:
Industrial application
4-35
TYPE OF MARGIN: Weight
ERROR MARGIN+:0 (DISABLED)
ERROR MARGIN-:0 (DISABLED)
4.3.4.2.8.14 MATERIAL ERROR
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

Option for lack of material programming. If activated will provide an error if while dosing it is
detected that the weight does not increase.
Figure 4.3.4.2.8.14.1
Detection is configured through two parameters:
TIME: Indicates detection time in seconds. If set to zero, detection is deactivated. Default
value: 0
WEIGHT CHANGE: Possible values are: 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 divisions. That value
indicates how much has the weight to change during the time programmed in the parameter TIME.
Default value: 2.
That number of divisions indicates that weight has to increase more than such divisions per
programmed times. If speed is lower a lack of material will be produced.
Lack of material error screen example:
Figure 4.3.4.2.8.14.2
When that error is produced we have three options:
CANCEL: Cancels charging and weighing. Will appear:
RESUME: Resumes charging from the point is was. Option to be selected when the lack of
material problem has been solved (for example: material replacement).
END: This function will actuate in different ways depending on if we are ending a charge or a
discharge:
Charge: The indicator reads the actual weight in the platform when pressing the END option.
So the user can add manually material to the scale and it will be showed in the ticket.
Discharge: The indicator gets the weight when the lack of material error appears. Any
modification in the weight after the error appears does not modify the ticket.
END: Accept the weighing as it is. The weighing will be made with the current weight. Option to
be selected when the lack of material can not be solved immediately and the current weighing wants
to be accepted, even though the desired final value has not been reached.
Industrial application
4-36
4.3.4.2.8.15 WAIT TIME
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

That parameter is an optional time that the equipment will wait after the weight becomes stable
after ending the dosing. When that time ends the process continues checking margins and weighing
end. If during wait time weight becomes unstable time counter starts back to zero.
That time is used in systems where waiting stability after charging is not enough because
material may fall after reaching stability.
That value is entered in seconds with one decimal resolution.
Default value: 0
4.3.4.2.8.16 INITIAL FUNCTION
 

CHARGEDISCHARGE

Allows selecting a function that will be executed just before starting dosing. See section
4.3.4.2.13 for available options.

4.3.4.2.13 PROGRAMMABLE INITIAL AND END FUNCTIONS
At different configuration points initial functions may be selected (to be executed before
starting the process or dosing) and end functions (to be executed after ending the process or dosing).
When any of these functions is executed the process or dosing does not continue until executed.
That section shows the possible function selectable by the user during configuration. The
possible functions are the same for initial than for ending.
A configuration screen example would be the following:
Figure 4.3.4.2.13.1
On accessing the function configuration we will have:

5 Configuration and Calibration
5.1 Introduction
There are two different operating modes to access SETUP parameters: Mono-User (by default)
or Multi-User.
5.1.1 Mono-User
There are 2 different Access levels:
UNPROTECTED: Allows changing all parameters. Access with PIN
PROTECTED: Allows changing non protected parameters. Access without PIN
To enter the calibration and configuration menu, you must press the key, the indicator will
request to introduce the access code (PIN)
Figure 5.1.1.1
If the PIN introduced is correct we shall access the SETUP in UNPROTECTED mode. That will
allow us to modify the protected settings.
5.1.2 Multi-User
There are 3 different access levels:
UNPROTECTED (SAT): Allows changing all parameters. Access with SAT PIN*
*(SAT PIN is the same access code used as Mono-user PIN)
PROTECTED (USER): Allows changing non protected parameters. Access with USER PIN
READ ONLY: Allows only to read parameters. Access without PIN
5.1.2.1 Enable Multi-User
To enable Multi-User mode is needed to enter SETUP\INDICATOR\CONFIG\USER PIN and
introduce a USER PIN.
Figure 5.1.2.1
Configuration and calibration
5-2
Figure 5.1.2.1.2
While working in Multi-User mode, entering to SETUP mode will show a new screen with
options: READ ONLY and EDITABLE
Figure 5.1.2.1.3
If we choose ONLY READ option, we will enter in SETUP mode but we won’t be able to change
any parameter. We will only be able to make DSD queries or Reset SAT PIN code by using PUK
code.
Choosing EDITABLE option, will show a window requesting PIN code:
Figure 5.1.2.1.4
After entering PIN code, the indicator will Check that the introduced code matches with SAT PIN
or USER PIN code. In case that the PIN entered doesn’t match with any of existing PINs, an error will
appear in the Screen.
Figure 5.1.2.1.5
Same Windows will appear while entering in application configuration screen or consulting
Weight-bridge data base.
Configuration and calibration
5-3
5.1.2.2 Disable Multi-User
To disable Multi-User mode and set the indicator in Mono-User mode we must set USER PIN to
‘0000’. We can check that Multi-User has been disabled in SETUP\INDICATOR\CONFIG\USER PIN
parameter USER PIN must be configured as ‘NOT USED’. In the Mono-User mode, PIN code will be
the same as SAT PIN.
5.1.3 SETUP menu
Entering the SETUP menu we will find different parameters types in the indicator configuration
and calibration menu:
-Those that are free-access and can always be read and modified.
-Those that are read-only, which you can not modify (accompanied by an in the diagrams).
-Those that are protected, which you can read, but can only modify under certain circumstances
(accompanied by a in the diagrams).
Enter the menu and see the following:
Figure 5.1.3.1
The position you will be in is shown with the inverted font.
To move around the different menu options, you must use the keys. To access the
selected option, press the key. You exit the option using the key. To modify a parameter,
enter the desired value and press or . If you wish to exit without modifying the parameter,
press the or key. To exit the calibration and configuration menu, press the or key.
If we access the INDICATOR menu we will see a screen like the following:
Figure 5.1.3.2
There are two different calibration levels in this menu and they feature different levels of
protection:
- Indicator configuration: the protected parameters may only be modified if setup menu has
been accessed in the UNPROTECTED mode
- Configuration and calibration of the scale(s): besides being in UNPROTECTED mode,
there is a switch on the back of the indicator (see figure 5.1.4) for each one of the two
scales (a second scale is optional). This is a selector that can be mechanically sealed off
Configuration and calibration
5-4
and in the LOCK position, prevents any modification of the protected parameters even in
UNPROTECTED mode.
Any time a protected parameter is modified, this access will be recorded in the read-only
parameter CAL COUNTER and the date of this most recent modification in the read-only parameter
CAL DATE, which is found in the SETUP\SCALE i\CONFIG SCALE (i is 1 if it affects scale 1 and 2 if
it affects scale 2)

5.2.1.21 SW. UPDATE
This places the device in a mode that enables a software update. Correctly entering the SAT
PIN , having at least one scale interface connected and the switch calibration lock in “unlock”
position is required. If those requirements are not met, an error message will appear flashing on the
screen and the indicator will leave configuration menu. Once correctly entered, the following screen
appears:
Figure 5.2.1.21.1
In this mode, the device is waiting to connect to a PC for the software update. At this
point, you can still cancel the update with or , or by turning the device off with the key.
In this moment the PC software has to be started (Bootloader-MatrixII). Once the connection
to the PC has been established and the software update process has begun, you cannot cancel the
operation because the device will be left unprogrammed.
If for any reason, the device cannot finish loading, it may be caused by one of two things:
Case A: The communication between the device and PC has failed, or the PC has interrupted
the loading process, but the device continues waiting for the update to finish.
Case B: The power went off and the device turned off without having completed the update. In
this case, the device will not start up.
In case A, you must restart the update by starting the PC program again and repeating the
update process. In case B, disconnect the device from the power supply and send it to the technical
service where the program can be loaded using special tools.

Figure 5.3.3.4.4
These parameters allow the correction of a possible non linearity in the system.
This adjustment is performed in the point you choose from 0 to MAX.
After adjusting the scale (zero and span), if a linearity error is detected due to a discrepancy
between the load and the system indication, choose a point where discrepancy is more significant and
then adjust linearity.
In repetitive systems the linearity error disappears at that point and is fundamentally reduced in
the other points (see figure 5.3.3.4.5).
Figure 5.3.3.4.5 Linearity adjustment performance before and afterwards, respectively
This is the procedure:
1-Select Reset in the LIN parameter in order to assess the system linearity without any pre-existing
correction. The LIN parameter is deactivated and any previous correction is deleted.
2-Place a known load in a point of the range where there is a significant linearity error. Note down
the indication value.
3-Select ON in the LIN parameter.
4-Key in the load value in the LIN_M parameter.
5-Key in the indication value in the LIN_I parameter.
6-The correction has been made.
7-This procedure can be repeated without clearing the previous correction (continue from point 2).

This adjustment calculates an internal algorithm which will be applied whenever the LIN
parameter is ON. If a span adjustment is made (SPAN parameter) indicator will show a window
warning that linearization is being deactivated.
5.3.4 CAL mV
If there is no reference weight, it is possible to do a theoretical calibration using the capacity and
sensitivity values (mV/V) of the load cells used.
For the most accurate calibration, always use the calibration with masses.

This option is used to perform a new scale’s installation. The load cells installation has to be
done one by one, starting for number 1 and ending for number n, being n, the number of load cells of
the scale.
When accessing to this option will appear the following warning:
Figure 5.4.1.1.1
 

ATTENTION
When making an installation of a new scale using that assistant
will lose any previous adjustment of the scale. Also will erase any
previous corner adjustment.

Once we have accepted to start the process, appears the following screen, where we can
modify the MAX and DIV value of the scale:

To continue select the option CONNECT LOAD CELLS, and enter the number of load cells of
the scale:

When entering the number of load cells, the device will initialize the assistant and starts the
installation process of the load cells, one by one, starting for load cell number 1:
Figure 5.4.1.1.4
By pressing the option CONTINUE the device will recognize the connected load cell and will
configure it as number 1. Once done, the system will ask us to connect the next load cell.
Figure 5.4.1.1.5
This process will be repeated for all the load cells. Once being installed all the load cells, the
device will make a theoretically SPAN adjustment with the information collected by the load cells and
then will give us the possibility to perform the cero of the scale:
Figure 5.4.1.1.6
Configuration and calibration
5-28
Next, place the zero of the scale:
Figure 5.4.1.1.7
In case of cannot perform the zero calibration in that moment for any reason, we can always
perform the zero later, going to ZERO option in the menu (see 5.4.2.3.3 for digital scales).
If necessary we can perform a corner adjustment in the corresponding menu (see 5.4.2.3.5)
and a mass calibration of the scale (see 5.4.2.4).
5.4.1.2 CHANGE ONE LOAD CELL
This option allows changing a load cell in a scale already installed:
Figure 5.4.1.2.1
To perform it we have to remove the load cell to be changed and connect the new one. Go
inside the menu and indicate to the device the load cell number to change:
Figure 5.4.1.2.2
The device will install the new load cell and will configure it with the existing corner adjustment
of the broken load cell. That replacement does not modify the corner adjustment or the gain of the
scale. It can be necessary check the calibration of the scale with the new installed load cell.
If we have to replace more than one load cell, we should repeat this procedure for any load
cell.
 

ATTENTION
During the load cell replacement process do not turn off or
disconnect the device to avoid unconfigure the scale.

If the previous device had made a corner adjustment, the adjustment will not be lost when
doing the procedure.
If the previous device had a corner adjustment, that adjustment will be erased. Only in case of
having the gain coefficient (SPAN) of the previous indicator (see 5.3.3.2.1 ) then we can introduce
manually the value to the new device using the corresponding option in the menu (see 5.3.3.2.2).

5.5 EXTERNAL MODULES
5.5.1 Introduction
MATRIX II indicator allows using external modules in DIN rail format for connection with external
systems. Currently there are two types of modules
1. Digital inputs/outputs module: 8 inputs, 8 outputs (relays).
2. Analog output module: configurable 0...20mA, 4...20mA, 0...10V or 0...5V
Connection among modules and indicator is performed by means of a RS-485 bus. We may use
both COM3, available in all indicators, as well as COM4 if we have installed the optional RS-485
output board. This optional board has the advantage of being galvanic isolated, so it may be
interesting in industrial environments. Modules have to be powered to 24 VDC.
Example of connection of two modules of digital inputs/outputs and an analog output module to a
MATRIX II:
Figure 5.5.1.1
RS-485 communication bus is made of a couple of wires that connect in parallel all existing
modules to a MATRIX II. To be able to distinguish every module in the bus they all have a direction –
different for every module- which is configured by means of 4 DIP format switches. The possible
directions are from 1 to 15 (zero is reserved).
Modules configuration is made in the SETUP menu:
Configuration and calibration
5-49
Figure 5.5.1.2
On entering the "EXTERNAL MODULES" menu the following options will be shown:
Figure 5.5.1.3
The options’ functionality is as follows:
CONFIGURE: Digital inputs/outputs configuration, and analog outputs.
 

TEST:External modules checking and information.
INSTALLATION:Installation of modules in the system (necessary for functioning).

The use of the external modules comprises two different parts:
1) Installation of modules in the system (menu INSTALLATION)
2) Configuration of inputs and outputs (menu CONFIGURE)
If we connect a module to the system but we do not install it, it will not be accessible even if the
direction is correct and we have programmed it in any input or output.
5.5.2 Previous configurations
5.5.2.1 Serial port configuration
Communication with external modules is made through MATRIX II COM3 –or COM4 if available-
. To configure it Access the configuration menu of the corresponding port and select "EXTERNAL
MODULES" in the parameter MODE:
Figure 5.5.2.1.1
Configuration and calibration
5-50
Once accepted the rest of parameters will disappear because external modules use a fix
configuration:
Figure 5.5.2.1.2
Option "EXTERNAL MODULES" cannot be selected simultaneously for ports COM3 and COM4,
showing error "INVALID INPUT" if that happens.
5.5.2.2 External modules numbering
External modules include four DIP switches to configure its direction. That can be from 1 to 15,
being necessary to have a different value for each module. If a module direction is changed once in
functioning, the change will not apply until the module is switched off and on.
Next figure shows the correspondence among DIP switches position and the direction:

NOTE: When using a TYPE function that doesn’t use the SCALE parameter (as SCALE, PRINT,
TOTALIZE and REMOTE) it is shown as: (“-------“) and is not allowed to edit this field (the right
arrow is in grey). Functions GROSS, NET and SCALE SELECTED do not admit the option
ACTIVE SCALE, so this option is not showed with these functions.
VALUE:
Weight of action when the output acts as a setpoint. Only available for GROSS and NET functions.
HYSTERESIS:
Weight margin given so that a relay to returns to its previous state. This is used to avoid the relay
to be repeatedly changing its state when the weight is just around the action point (VALUE). Only
available for GROSS and NET functions.
TRIP:
Parameter to select the output action logic when in setpoint mode (functions GROSS and NET).
Possible values: HIGH (default value) and LOW. The functioning is as follows:
HIGH:
Relay activated when weight >= VALUE
Relay deactivated when weight < (VALUE - HYSTERESIS)
LOW:
Relay deactivated when weight >= (VALUE + HYSTERESIS)
Relay activated when weight < VALUE
RELAY:
Shows the relay related to the output. The format is as follow: [MM:S] where 'MM': it is the module
direction (1...15) and 'S' is the output inside the module (1...8).
When no physical output is defined (direction = 0) it is showed [--:-]. If the selected module is
not installed or it is not of the proper type a question mark will be showed next to the relay:
.
An error by means of the symbol '*’ next to the relay will be shown when:
a) A relay used by the truck weighing or industrial application is also used by a standard output.
b) A relay is configured for two functions of different scales.
The equipment will not work with that type of error.

NOTE: It cannot be selected the same physical output for more than one logical output. An error
will occur if we enter the same relay to more than one output.
Example of configured outputs:
Figure 5.5.4.1.3
With this example we see 4 configured outputs. Sign '?' appears right to the output 4 indicates
that the module is not installed in the system or that it is not a digital outputs module.
5.5.4.2 DIGITAL INPUTS configuration
On accessing "DIGITAL INPUTS" we see the following screen:
Figure 5.5.4.2.1
A list of 16 possible logical inputs appears. With the keys we move around the list
and with the key we enter the input’s configuration.
The list has three columns:
 

Left: 
Middle:
Number of logical input.
Function related to the input.

Right: Physical input related to the logical input.
On accessing an output with the key we will see the following screen:

EXIT TOTALIZE: Function Exit Totalize of the industrial application (only available for
the active scale)
REMOTE
: Input only used for being read from the serial port (parameters

SCALE and LEVEL have no effect for that function).
Function REMOTE is included in order to allow using one input exclusively for being red from the
serial port. With the function REMOTE the input has no effect on the operative. Inputs with a configured
function other than OFF may also be red from the serial port.
SCALE:
Shows the scale associated to the input function (selected through TYPE).
Possible options:
SCALE 1
SCALE 2
REMOTE SCALE
ACTIVE SCALE
NOTE: When using a TYPE function that doesn’t use the SCALE parameter (as SCALE
CHANGE, SELECT SCALE 1, SELECT SCALE 2 and REMOTE) it is shown as: (“-------“) and is not
allowed to edit this field (the right arrow is in grey). If the TYPE function is in GROSS/NET, TOTALIZE
or END TOTALIZE the SCALE parameter will always show ACTIVE SCALE.
LEVEL: Indicates the polarity with which the input acts. Possible values:
 

HIGH: The function acts on closing the contact connected to the input.
LOW: The function acts on opening the contact connected to the input.

MODULE INPUT: This is where the physical input associated to the input is programmed. The format
used is the following: [MM:E] where 'MM'is the module direction (1...15) and 'E' is the number of
the input in the module (1...8). When no physical input is defined (direction = 0) dashes are
shown: [--:-].
When the selected physical input belongs to a module that is not installed or it is not a module of
digital inputs-outputs a '?' will be showed to the right of the input.
NOTE: We may associate a physical input to more than one logical input. It is the user’s
responsibility that the configuration makes sense. When an input is used in more than one logical
input an exclamation mark '!' is showed to the right of the input as a warning of a possible
error.
Besides error '!' we may have error '*' when:
a) An input is used for the truck weighing or industrial application and also for a standard input.
b) An input is configured for two functions of different scales.
The equipment will not work with that type of error.

5.5.4.3 ANALOG OUTPUTS configuration
With this menu the analog outputs are configured. The indicator allows using one analog output
per scale and each analog output is a module with a certain direction. These modules will provide an
analog indication proportional to the weight in the scale.
In bi-scale indicators the analog outputs work simultaneously no matter which scale is active.
On entering the menu for the first time the following screen will be showed:
Figure 5.5.4.3.1
Two options appear: one to configure the analog output of the scale 1 and the second for the 2.
Entering the desired option the following screen will be showed:

means that the current output is open or that it has too high impedance.
ERRORCommunication with module failure.
UNMATCHEDType of installed module does not match with the detected in the bus.
TEMPERATURE!Only showed for analog output modules. Means that the internal DAC is
too hot. There is a hardware problem.
NO COM.There is no serial port configured for communication with modules. The
test can not be performed. Configure the serial port (COM3 or COM4) for
connection with modules.

From the screen we shall access the modules if the status is OK.
We place on the desired module and on pressing we shall enter the module information
menu. If it is a digital I/O module a screen like that in figure 5.5.5.3 will be showed. In the case of an
analog output will be like in figure 5.5.5.4:

input we will see it in the screen.
To modify an output we select it with and pressing we change its state
alternatively.
If there is a communication failure during the test the message "Error" will be shown instead of
the input or output state.
NOTE: During the module test their standard functioning is deactivated. On exit the test mode it is
restored.
 

WARNING
Acting on the output relays may cause damage or personal injury.
Make sure that you know the functions of the devices connected to
the relays before activating them. Make an inspection previous the
test if necessary.

5.5.6 Error messages on starting
If we have configured the use of the external modules, on starting the indicator it always perform a
check of them. If any module is not detected an error message will be showed like the following:

- Read outputs:
 

Request:XO? (Command compatible with MATRIX)

: CARRIAGE RETURN character (0x0d)
 

Answer:XOo8o7o6o5o4o3o2o1

on is the status of the logical output n. This command only return the status of the 8 first
outputs and it is necessary in order to maintain compatibility between software written for
MATRIX or SMART.
 

Request: :X2O? 

: CARRIAGE RETURN character (0x0d)
Answer:
on is the status of the output n.
- Read input status:
Reading of the input allows knowing the current input status. It has to be remembered that these
are logical inputs, 16 for MATRIX II. These inputs are configured with a physical input by means of
assigning an address of the external module and an input number. If option TYPE of a digital input is
set to OFF we shall always read zero with these commands. Parameter LEVEL of the input’s
configuration has no effect in the reading performed with these commands. We will read “0” when the
input is open and “1” when the contact is closed to ground (COM).
 

Request:XI? (Command compatible with MATRIX)

: CARRIAGE RETURN character (0x0d)
 

Answer:XIx8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1

xn is the status of input n. This command only returns the status of the first 8 inputs for
keeping compatibility with software written for MATRIX or SMART indicators.
 

Request:X2I? 

: CARRIAGE RETURN character (0x0d)
Answer:
xn is the status of input n. This command returns the status of the 16 logical inputs
available in MATRIX II.
