22 CLS-920i Installation Manual
4.0 Configuration of Scale Parameters
Note
While the fuctionality remains the same for a standard 920i HMI indicator, there are certain menu choices that
need to be changed in the User Configuration section of this manual specific to the proper functioning of the
CLS-Series Cargo Lift Scale.
To configure the 920i indicator, the indicator must be
placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed by
removing the large fillister head screw on the backplate
of the universal and deep enclosures. Switch position is
changed by inserting a screwdriver into the access hole
and pressing the switch.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode, a series of
menus is shown across the top of the display, along
with the words
Scale Configuration . The SCALES menu
is highlighted as the first used to configure the
indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
provided in Section 4.2.
When configuration is complete, press the Exit or Save
and Exit softkey to exit setup mode, then replace the
setup switch access screw.
• The Exit softkey exits setup mode without saving
parameter changes to NV RAM. Changes made
to the configuration remain in the system until
indicator power is cycled.
• Save and Exit writes all parameter changes to NV
RAM before returning to normal mode.
4.1 Configuration Methods
The 920i indicator can be configured by using the front
panel keys to navigate through a series of configuration
menus or by sending commands or configuration data
to an indicator serial port. Configuration using the
menus is described in Section 4.1.3.
C o n f i g u r a t i o n u s i n g t h e s e r i a l p o r t c a n b e
accomplished using either the serial command set or
the
iRev configuration utility.
Note
Some configuration parameters, such as those
used to configure the
920i display and widgets,
cannot be accessed through the configuration
menus.
iRev provides the most complete and
efficient configuration interface for the 920i .
4.1.1 iRev Configuration
The iRev configuration utility provides the preferred
method for configuring the 920i indicator. iRev runs on
a personal computer to set configuration parameters for
the indicator. When
iRev configuration is complete,
configuration data is downloaded to the indicator.
Note
All configuration parameters can be set up
using iRev except configuration parameters
associated with the iQube. Those parameters
must be set up manually which is explained in
further detail in Section 4.2.2.
iRev supports both uploading and downloading of
indicator configuration data. This capability allows
configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator,
edited, then downloaded to another indicator with an
identical hardware configuration.
Figure 4-1. iRev Hardware Configuration Display
To use iRev , do the following:
1. Install iRev on an IBM-compatible personal
computer. See Section 5.0 on page 50 for
detailed hardware and software requirements.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off,
connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins
on the indicator serial port.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the
setup switch to place the indicator in setup
mode.
4. Start the iRev program.
iRev provides online help for each of its configuration
displays. Parameter descriptions provided in this manual
for front panel configuration can also be used when
configuring the indicator using
iRev : The interface is
different, but the parameters set are the same.
See Section 6.4 for more information about using iRev to
configure the 920i .
