1.1. DESCRIPTION
The FB3000 Highway System provides a standard “Pay-to-Weigh” service, re-
weigh and multi-platform weighments , as well as individual platform values.
The system operates in one of three modes.
• Highway System Mode – The Default Operating Mode that provides
Fairbanks Scales standard truck weighing services.
• In/Out Mode – Allows a vehicle weigh twice to calculate the net load amount,
or to use a Stored Tare Weight Value to determine the net weight.
• Enforcement Mode – Used to determine if a vehicle and its individual axle
weights are legal, based on configurable weight values.
The FB3000 Highway System can be divided into four separate applications.
• User Interface – Translates computer language into a usable English format
(or another).
• Data Collection & Reporting – Maintains the database information
required by the Highway System User Interface Application.
• Weigh Kernel – The primary underlying weighment program that interfaces
directly with the scales.
• Error Logging – Used for quality control and for troubleshooting errors.
The Highway System Application is specifically designed and intended for multi-platform
truck scale weighing.
