8.2.16. CS

Save the Calibration Data

This command results in the calibration data being saved to the EEPROM and causes the TAC to be
incremented by 1.

Master (PC / SPS) sends

Slave (LDU XX.X) responds

Meaning

CE

E+00017

(example)

Request: TAC counter CE17

CE 17

OK

Calibration sequence active

CS

OK

Calibration values saved

The CS command saves all of the calibration group values, as set by CZ, CG, CM n, DS, DP and ZT. The
command returns ERR and has no updating action unless it is preceded by the CE_XXXXX.


8.3. Motion Detection Commands – NR, NT

The motion detection facility provides a means of disabling certain functions whenever a condition of instability,
or “motion”, is detected. The “no-motion”, or “stable” condition is achieved whenever the signal is steady for the
period of time set by NT, during which it cannot fluctuate by more than NR increments.The stable condition
activates the relevant bit of responses to “Info Status” (IS).
Following functions are disabled if motion is detected: “Calibrate Zero” (CZ) “Calibrate Gain” (CG) “Set Zero”
(SZ) and “Set Tare” (ST). After such a command the system returns an error (“ERR“), if the signal is not stable.

8.3.1. NR Set No-motion Range

This is the range within which the weighing signal is allowed to fluctuate and still be considered as “stable”.
Permitted values are from 1 to 65535.

Master (PC / SPS) sends

Slave (LDU XX.X) responds

Meaning

NR

R+00010

Request: NR = 10 d

NR 2

OK

Setup: NR = 2 d

WP

OK

Setup saved


Example: For NR = 2 the fluctuations within a maximum of ± 2 d, in the period NT, will be considered “stable”.
Factory default: NR = 1 [= ±1d]

8.3.2. NT Set

No-motion Time Period

This is the time period (in milliseconds) over which the weight signal is checked to see if it is “stable” or has “no-
motion“. The weight signal has to vary by less than NR divisions over the time period NT to be considered
‘stable’. Permitted values are from 1 to 65 535.

Master (PC / SPS) sends

Slave (LDU XX.X) responds

Meaning

NT

T+01000

Request: NT = 1 000 ms

NT 500

OK

Setup: NT = 500 ms

WP

OK

Setup saved


If the value of NT =500 milliseconds, the output must not fluctuate more than NR increments within 500
milliseconds in order to be considered “stable”.
Factory default: NT = 1 000 [ms]
