Monitoring Weighing Parameters
The HI 3000 series weight controllers are capable of calcu-
lating five types of weight data, including the standard Gross
and Net weights. In addition to the standard Gross and Net
weights there are three options such as Peak Force, Totalized
Weight (block transfer only), and Rate-of-Change or mass
flow rate entering or leaving a vessel.
Short Glossary of Terms
1. Gross Weight - is used to describe the total weight
of the container and the contents.
2. Net Weight - is the weight of the contents of the
container only.
3. Tare Value - The action of adjusting out the known
weight of the container from the total indicated
weight, so that the indicator reads weight directly.
4. Dead Load - The weight of the vessel and other
equipment which will be ignored during zero cali-
bration.
Tare Value
Current Gross Weights become the Tare value by pushing
the Tare Push Button on the front panel of the HI 3000
instrument, remote functions contact closure, discrete write
or block transfer command by the PLC, or can be entered as
a numeric value via the keypad on the front panel of the HI
3000 Series instruments This new tare value is the reference
point for Net Weight.
TV = G - N
TV = Tare Value (weight)
G = Gross Weight
N = Net Weight
Remote I/O Board Cable Termination Dip Switch
Configuration
About Cable Termination
HI 3000 Series Remote I/O Modules are connected to a cable
in daisy-chain fashion and are referred to as “nodes”. A
Daisy Chain is a hardware configuration in which devices
are connected one to another in a series. The first and last
Remote I/O module must be terminated.
Step 1. The Terminating Switch is accessible from the rear
of the HI 3000 Series Module. (See Fig. 3)
FIG. 3: TERMINATING SWITCH FOR
TERMINATING LAST MODULE
Step 2. On the first module and the last module turn the ter-
minating switch to ON.
Step 3. For all other devices on the daisy chain the termi-
nating must be set to OFF.
Dip Switch Settings
Set all the Dip Switch Settings to ON. (See Fig. 3)
