Configuring Limit Values
 
Each limit value consists of a switch-on and a switch-off point for definition of a hysteresis. The 
three pairs of values must be entered according to the same principle. The limit values always refer 
to the gross weight. Values between -0.01 x Max and 1.01 x Max of the relevant scale are 
permissible.

Setup/Digital I/O parameter
Assign the outputs
Output 1
limit 1 out
X16=
1
Output 2
limit 2 out
X17=
1
 
Example: 
The output signal (Limit 1 
out) of limit 1 switches OFF 
above a weight of 900 kg. 
The output signal (Limit 2 
out) of limit 2 switches OFF 
below a weight of 290 kg. 
Both limit values have a 
hysteresis of 10 kg. 
 
In the event of a power 
failure, the two outputs go to 
OFF, thus indicating underfill 
and overfill at the same time.
