2. INSTRUMENT’S OPERATION
2.1 Turning on the instrument

When the instrument is turned on, the following sequence of indications appears on the primary display, approx.
every two seconds apart:

A D O S

T 0 6 0 E

R 1. 0 0 (Revision of the installed software)

When reaching this phase, the instrument becomes immediately operative and the weight value appears on the
display.

1569‐PT060EE1 Rev. 7 Page 7 of 62

2.2 Transmitter’s functions

Instrument T060E is a weight transmitter with potential threshold relay management function.
Therefore, it is not a traditional weighing instrument, since Gross, Net and Tare management functions are not
available.
Only ZERO corrections can be executed (through external inputs) with the purpose to recover zero derivatives or
deviations relative to the weighing system.
The onboard relays are managed as alarm relays, therefore they are always kept energized and are de‐energized in
case of alarm.

2.2.1 Management of the calibration

T060E foresees the set‐up of a theoretical calibration. However, the operator can execute potential corrections during
the calibration phase. The advantage of this type of set‐up lies in the fact that the system carries out an automatic
calibration, by knowing the cells’ characteristics.

The system is not valid in case of load cells not supporting directly the entire weight applied to the system (e.g. in case
of a weighing pin applied to a resultant of a return system). In this case, the operator must set the weight value used
at the end of the measurement chain.
For example, in case of a weighing pin applied to the fixed component of a lifting system, the operator must set the
value actually lifted by the bridge crane; for example, in case of pin weighing 1 ton and the capacity of the bridge
crane consisting of 300 tons. In this case, the signal will be set according to the pin’s data sheet and the capacity will
be set to 300 (corresponding to 300 tons of the system's capacity), while the sensitivity will be set according to the
accuracies identified in the application of the system (for example, if it weights 200 kg, the sensitivity must be set to
0.2).

The resolution (division value) is set to the result of the 60000 divisions. Higher set‐ups are discarded by the system.
The system’s resolution is given by the ratio between capacity and resolution.
A system with a 100 Kg cell and a resolution of 0.01 is a system consisting of 10000 divisions.

S E G N 1

T060E foresees load cells with maximum signal of 3.5 mV/V.

P O R T 1

The value set in this parameter constitutes the full scale of the weighing system. It foresees a maximum value of
100000 divisions.

S E N S 1

The value can be selected within the range from 50 to 0.001 divisions.

The change of both system capacity and load cell signal (mV/V) cause the clearance of calibration data
(linearizations included) already carried out, of set points values and the analog output data.

1569‐PT060EE1 Rev. 7 Page 8 of 62

2.2.2 Sum value function

The T060E the double channel weighing version (D option) foresees the possibility to handle the sum value of the two

channels. The value can be displayed both pushing and in association with one or more threshold relays
alarms (see chapter 2.5). In case of systems with capacity or different unit measure, the operator mus realign the
value to the same unit measure, deciding which of the two channels must be taken as reference channel.
I.E.:
Channel 1F.S. 10.00t and channel 2 1000kf F.S. considering channel 1 as reference channel(parameter PRIOR), we
should return the channel 2 to a display in t.
In order to get this the T060E with parameter MULTIP allows dividing or multiplying the channel value.
In our example dividing by 1000 the channel 2 value is displayed as for channel 1 in t.
According to different systems capacities, multiplying or dividing, it is possible to sum values with the same measure
unit.

2.2.3 Management of the zero

The external inputs can be used to reset potential zero derivatives or deviations relative to the weighing system. The
AZM limit is valid in both ways, therefore the actual field is ‐100.0% .+100.0%.
The input is active on the closing panel.
Weight resetting is carried out after conversion and linearization operations which are not influenced, causing a
vertical translation of the transmitter’s response curve.
Zeroing affects all transmitters’ functions: display, serial transmission, analogue output and threshold management
are all linked to the correct weight value.
The reset value is lost if the equipment is turned off.
The non‐reset total weight value can be checked locally by pressing key DEC: by keeping this key pressed, the
instrument displays the total weight value.

1569‐PT060EE1 Rev. 7 Page 9 of 62

2.2.4 Signal filtering

The instrument allows introducing filtering methods of the signal coming from load cells (FIR filters). This method is
based on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes and allows handling at best, signals containing strong harmonic
components (e.g. generated by mixers).
During the configuration phase, it is possible to select three typical filters (with moving average) and 5 DSP filters.
The former allow quicker response times but are less effective with regards to interferences, therefore they must be
used when extremely quick weight variations must be detected.
The latter allow mitigating interferences (since they boast a higher filtering effect) at the disadvantage of the response
time to weight variations.
In both cases, the higher is the filter’s number, the greater is the filtering effect and the response time to a weight
variation.

For example, the response to a step weight variation is shown in the chart below, based on the selected filter.
The chart shows that filter FIR 1 boasts a response time of approx. 0.2 seconds, while filter FIR 5 boasts a response
time of approx. 2.5 seconds.

2.3.1 Display

In normal operating conditions, the display indicates the weight values according to the following criteria:
 the irrelevant initial zeros are not displayed
 the “minus” sign (in case of negative weight values) is displayed in the first left digit
 If the negative weight value is of six digits (e.g. ‐324210), the first left digit will indicate the “minus” sign and the
weight value, alternatively.
 If the negative weight value is of seven digits, the less significant five digits are displayed and the message starts
flashing in order to indicate the presence of a non‐visible initial “1”. The first left digit will indicate the “minus”
sign and the weight value, alternatively.
The weight indication limits are:
Lower limit: ‐ 20% of full scale
upper limit: 120% of full scale
If the weight is lower than the lower limit, the following indication is displayed:

- - U L - -
If the weight is greater than the upper limit, the following indication is displayed:

- - O L - -

1569‐PT060EE1 Rev. 7 Page 11 of 62

2.3.2 LED signals

The meaning of the messages provided by the signal LEDS located on the instrument’s front panel is the following:
RL1 ÷ RL5 The LED is on due to the triggering of the relative threshold
SR The LED is on to notify the triggering of the safety signal
TX The LED flashes to signal the transmission activity of serial port 1.
RX The LED flashes to signal the receiving activity of serial port 1.

2.3.3 Key functions

If the instrument is in operating mode, it allows commuting the reading (if the instrument foresees
the optional second channel) to display the weight value of the second channel or total value
(channel 1 + channel 2).
If the instrument is in configuration mode, it allows browsing forward the menu items and
increasing the parameters’ value.

If the instrument is in operating mode and the weight was zeroed, the display will indicate the
value by pressing this key (for the selected channel).
If the instrument is in configuration mode, it allows browsing backward the menu items and
decreasing the parameters’ value.

If the instrument is in operating mode, it allows entering in configuration mode.

If the instrument is in configuration mode, the key will confirm the selections made.

If the instrument is in operating mode, it has no function.

If the instrument is in configuration mode, this key will cancel the selections made.

2.4 Self-troubleshooting

2.4.1 Cell connection fault (FAIL)

The instrument constantly checks the correct connection of the load cell (interruption and short‐circuit of the signal
and power supply connections) and, in case an anomaly is detected, a FAIL internal signal is generated.
By programming one or more relays as FAIL, in addition to the message appearing on the display, all channel’s relays
are forced in alarm status (they are de‐energized). For example, by programming FAIL 1, all relays set with alarm
thresholds on channel 1 and/or the total, are forced in alarm status.

1569‐PT060EE1 Rev. 7 Page 12 of 62

2.5 Management of relays

The basic instrument is equipped with five relays that can be configured as required.

A generally open contact (NA) not under voltage is available for each relay.

The relays’ operation is linked to the conditions defined in the configuration phase.

The relays’ commutation takes place when the threshold value set in the configuration phase (SET # parameter) is
reached and remains in this condition for a timeframe equal to or exceeding the alarm minimum time (DAL #
parameter). It is restored in normal conditions when the weight value is dropped below the value determined by the
sum of the threshold value and the configured hysteresis value (DB# parameter) and remains in this condition for a
timeframe equal to or exceeding the minimum normal time (DOH # parameter).

The change of the relay operation cause the clearance of set points values .

Each relay can be configured to operate in one of the following modes:

F A I L 1 Load cell connection fault (FAIL). The alarm status is triggered

when the FAIL condition is present.

Minimum alarm (LO N)

L O N 1 The alarm status is triggered when the weight value is lower
than or equal to the threshold value.

Maximum alarm (HI N)

H I N 1 The alarm status is triggered when the weight value is greater
than or equal to the threshold value.

Minimum alarm (LO G). The alarm is triggered, regardless of

L O G 1 the reset value.
The alarm status is triggered when the weight value is lower
than or equal to the threshold value.

Maximum alarm (HIG). The alarm is triggered, regardless of

H I G 1 the reset value.
The alarm status is triggered when the weight value is lower
than or equal to the threshold value.

Alarm on the total value of the two channels (TOTG). The

T O T N alarm status is triggered when the weight value is greater
than or equal to the threshold value.

Alarm on the total value of the two channels (TOTG). The

alarm is triggered, regardless of the reset value.
T O T G The alarm status is triggered when the weight value is greater
than or equal to the threshold value.

O N The relay is kept constantly energized.

3.7 Connection of load cells (side A)

The cable coming from the load cells or junction box must be connected to the terminals located on the rear of the
instrument and called LOAD CELL 1.
Connection between the load cell and the instrument must be carried out with a shielded cable. The cable’s shield
must be connected to the ground.
Connection must take place respecting the colour code indicated on the load cells.
T060 foresees the standard connection of 6‐wire load cells. In case of connection of 4‐wire load cells, connect the
reference wires to the relative polarities of the power supply cables.
MAKE SURE THE CONNECTION CABLE BETWEEN LOAD CELLS AND INSTRUMENT IS DUCTED IN TROUGHS SEPARATE

4.1 Preventive maintenance

The instrument does not require particular preventive maintenance operations.

For safety purposes, check the connections of the safety wires on a regular basis, with a visual
inspection.

4.2 Corrective maintenance

Each corrective maintenance operation concerning instrument’s faults must be carried out exclusively at ADOS’
laboratories or anyhow, by ADOS staff.

ANY INSTRUMENT’S ALTERATION WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

1569‐PT060EE1 Rev. 7 Page 27 of 62

5. MANAGEMENT OF THE INSTRUMENT
5.1 Introduction

T060E transmitter is a programmable instrument able to carry out a series of functions that may be adapted and/or
personalized by the user, intended for multiple applications.
These functions can be modified through the configuration parameters.
Therefore, the instrument must be configured according to the specific application, before being used.
All configuration parameters are stored in a non‐volatile memory.
The status of the parameter memory is checked when turning on the instrument: in case of negative outcome, the
instrument is automatically re‐initialized to the basic configuration and must be re‐configured and re‐calibrated.

5.2 Operational sequence

After performing all connections, the logic operational sequence foresees:

 The configuration of operational parameters

 The system’s calibration

5.3 Selection of the management functions

The following management functions are foreseen:

CONFIGURATION Set‐up of general parameters

CALIBRATION Weight calibration
INSTRUMENT TEST Management of test functions

To access the instrument’s management mode, press key .

The instrument is ready to configure the parameters and displays the following message:

C O N F

By pressing key , the management level is commuted and the following messages appear:

C O N F

C A L

T E S T

Press to confirm the selection, while press key to cancel the management request and return
to operational mode.

5.3.1 Time-Out function on the keys’ operation

After 30 seconds of keyboard’s inactivity, the instrument automatically generates a key code “C”, therefore the
instrument is quit during the configuration or calibration phase, returning automatically to the upper level menu and
operational status.

1569‐PT060EE1 Rev. 7 Page 28 of 62

5.4 Configuration of operational parameters

5.4.1 Selection of operational parameters

By accessing the configuration mode from the selection menu of configuration levels, the instrument is ready to
configure the first parameter and displays the following message:

S E G N 1

Press key to select all configurable parameters in sequence (once the last one is reached, the system
returns to the first one automatically).

Press key to select all configurable parameters in sequence, in reverse order (once the first one is reached,
the system returns to the last one automatically).

Press key to cancel the configuration request and return to the selection menu of configuration levels.

Press key to confirm the selection, the instrument is ready to configure the selected parameter: the
display shows the parameter’s value or code and, with a frequency of half second for every two seconds, the
parameter’s code on which you are operating.

The settings/ considerations made for channel 1 also apply for channel 2.

1569‐PT060EE1 Rev. 7 Page 29 of 62

5.4.2 Editing of the value of operational parameters

By accessing the configuration mode from the parameter selection menu, the instrument shows the parameter's value
or code on the main display.
The display flashes to indicate that the instrument is ready to accept the edited parameter’s value.

Press key to increase the value of the selected parameter (once the maximum value is reached, the
system returns automatically to 0).
If the data shown is a weight (e.g. a relay threshold), the increase takes place according to the configured sensitivity.

By keeping key pressed, the increase gradient is automatically increased up to maximum 128 times the
basic increase value.

Press key to decrease the value of the selected parameter (once zero is reached, the system returns
automatically to the maximum value).
If the data shown is a weight (e.g. a relay threshold), the decrease takes place according to the configured sensitivity.

By keeping key pressed, the decrease gradient is automatically increased up to maximum 128 times the
basic decrease value.

Press to cancel the configuration request and return to the selection menu of the next parameter.

Press key to confirm the change.

The instrument checks if the set value is acceptable and displays the following message for 2 seconds:

D O N E

and then it automatically returns to the parameter’s selection menu.

5.5 Calibration

5.5.1 Theoretical calibration procedure

In general, the best calibration method consists in applying a known weight (sample weight) on the weighing system.
This method is not always possible to execute, when weights boasting a too high mass are used. Other systems
implemented, in case of large size tanks, consist of: use of tested litre counters or filling with a specific water quantity.
In case of tanks of large capacity, when sufficient calibration weights are not available or geometries do not allow
loading large masses, calibration is carried with substitute weights:

1. The tank is loaded with known weight masses

2. The value read by the indicator is recorded

3. The known weights are removed

4. The tank is loaded with the material (or water, or material used by the system) until reaching the weight
value indicated in point 1

5. Re‐load the same weights previously loaded in point 1

6. The value read by the indicator is recorded

7. The known weights are removed once again

8. The tank is loaded with the material until reaching the weight value indicated in point 3

9. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until reaching the nominal load, then correct the calibration curve (SPAN) if needed.

During the calibration phase, by using known masses, it is possible to check the interferences and errors caused by the
application of the load on mechanical parts or load cells.
After carrying out the configuration steps of the THEORETICAL calibration (setting of the nominal capacity of the load
cells system and relative sensitivity), it is a good practice to check the system’s calibration.

Calibration consists of the following steps:

 Tare with permanent storage

 Calibration of the zero value

 Calibration of full scale

 Linearization
Zero and full scale calibrations define the instrument’s calibration curve.

Permanent tare. This function allows calibrating and storing the reset
value in a non‐volatile memory, differently from the value reset
OFFS 1 through input, which is lost when the equipment is turned off.
Resetting does not alter the slope of the calibration curve.

Zero calibration is the same also for channel 2.

1569‐PT060EE1 Rev. 7 Page 42 of 62

5.5.4 Span calibration

Before calibrating the span, load the weighing system with the known weight exceeding the full scale by 12.5% and
wait until the reading stabilizes. The more the known weight is closer to the full scale value, the more accurate the full
scale calibration will be.

The system is ready to carry out the calibration with a known weight corresponding to the value of the weight
currently on the scale.

The operator can modify the procedure by setting directly the known weight value, using keys or

to increase or decrease the displayed value.

value. The value increase or decrease is obtained with division steps, by keeping key or
pressed, with increasing steps up to maximum 128 divisions. Once the known weight value on the scale is input, by

pressing key the instrument will perform the calibration and display message:

By pressing key the instrument goes in calibration mode and the display shows the calibration value and
function in progress, alternatively (LIN 1).

The operator can modify the procedure using keys or to increase or decrease the displayed

value. Once the required weight value is input, by pressing key the instrument will perform the
calibration and display message:

D O N E

The procedure is the same for all linearization points.

Make sure that:

 the nine linearization points must fall between zero calibration and full scale calibration
 the input values must always be higher than the value previously input and lower than the next value
 Subsequent zero calibrations cancel the linearization

5.5.6 Analogue output adjustment

The adjustment functions of the analogue output are the same for output under voltage and under current.

The adjustment of the analogue output foresees 3 steps:

1. Setting of the analogue scale (FULL SCALE D/A)
2. Zero alignment (ZERO ADJUSTMENT D/A)
3. Full scale alignment (SPAN ADJUSTMENT D/A)

The first step defines to which weight value, the maximum value of the analogue output must correspond.
For example, the weighing full scale could be 5000, but the maximum value of the analogue output could be set to
3000.
This way, for weight values from 0 to 3000, the analogue output will range from 0 to 10 V (or from 4 to 20 mA); for
higher values, the output will remain set to the maximum value. Similarly, for negative weight values, the analogue
output will remain set to the minimum value.
The second phase consists in aligning the analogue output so that zero (minimum possible value) is exactly at 0 V or at
4 mA.
The third phase consists in aligning the analogue output so that the span (maximum possible value) is exactly at 10 V
or at 20 mA.

The ajustment procedure must be viewed on the receiving system of the

transmitted analogue signal. Otherwise, the signal drops due to cables are not
taken in consideration.

6. SERIAL PROTOCOL COMMUNICATION

6.1 Serial interface management

The T060E is equipped with two serial lines:

the port 1, bi‐directional, optoisolated and available in RS232 or RS485 mode
the port 2 ,with only the physical interface RS485. The port 2 is excluded in case of PROFIBUS option, also the port 1 is
excluded in case of USB option and PROFIBUS with external gateway.

The communications modalities are handled like the following table:

PORT INTERFACE MODALITY BAUD RATE PARAM.

1200
OFF 2400 8 bit
Port 1 RS232 CONT 4800 No parity
RS485 BIDIR 9600 1 stop
MODBUS 19200
38400

1200
OFF 2400 8 bit
REPEAT 4800
Port 2 RS485 No parity
CONT 9600
2 stop
BIDIR 19200
38400

 CONTINUOS MODE (Cont)

The instrument continuously transmits a ASCII string.
 BIDIRECTIONAL MODE (Bidir)
In this modality the instrument transmits the data only when requested by an external system.
The protocol can be used with point to point or multidrop lines. The selection depends on the configuration value
of the RS485 address: if other than zero, the instrument controls the value of the address field in the received
data and inserts the address field in the transmitted data.
 Transmission to repeater (Repeat)
The instrument transmits a string to a serial repeater model CS089.

The transmission parameters of both lines are :

 8 bit ‐ No Parity ‐ 1 Stop

When using ADOS protocol the point to point or multidrop connection is determined by the value of the configuration
parameter “address 485”: if the parameter is 0 the connection is point to point, otherwise it is multidrop.

The modality is activated independently from the physical configuration of the board, therefore it is possible to
operate with addressed frames on the physical line RS232.

The data frames are the same in both configuration, with the only addition of the address field (two characters from
“01” to “32”) in reception and in transmission.

6.2.1 Calculation of the checksum

The two ASCII characters which identify the checksum must be calculated in the following way:

1. Calcolate the XO R binary of all the characters from the 1° to the 12° included in the case of strings of 16
characters (ID485 = 0) or to the 14° included in the case of strings of 18 characters (ID485 > 0).
2. Separate the XOR values obtained into a high area (first 4 bit) and a low area (last 4 bit)
3. Code the high area according to the ASCII hex table, which will become the character written in position [CHK
1] (13° character in the case of a string of 16 characters, 15° in the case of a string of 18 characters).
For example the binary value 5 (0101) will become character <5> (Hex 35), or the binary value B (1011) will
become character capital <B> (Hex 42).
4. Code the lower area according to the ASCII hex table, which will become the character written in position
[CHK 2] (14° character in the case of a string of 16 characters, 16° in the case of a string of 18 characters).
(see previous example)

6.3 String format in bi-directional mode

The length of the string differs according to the ID485 parameter value.

6.3.1 Weight request command

<STX>[<ID485H><ID485L>]<CMD><CHK1><CHK2><CR>
CMD = <P> (Hex 50) weight command request

 ID485 > 0 (lunghezza 7 caratteri)

1° character [STX] (Hex 02) Start of text

2° character [ID485 H] from <0> (Hex 30) to <9> (Hex 39)
to indicate the tens of the set ID485 value
3° character [ID485 L] from <0> (Hex 30) to <9> (Hex 39)
to indicate the units of the set ID485 value
4° character [CMD] P (Hex 50)
5° character [CHK 1] from <0> (Hex 30) to <9> (Hex 39) or from <A> (Hex 41) to <F> (Hex 46) to indicate
the higher part of the checksum
6° character [CHK 2] from <0> (Hex 30) to <9> (Hex 39) or from <A> (Hex 41) to <F> (Hex 46) to indicate
the lower part of the checksum
7° character <CR> (Hex 0D) carriage return

<STX><CMD><CHK1><CHK2><CR>
CMD = <P> (Hex 50) weight command request

 ID485 > 0 (5 characters length)

1° character [STX] (Hex 02) Start of text

2° character [CMD] P (Hex 50)
3° character [CHK 1] from <0> (Hex 30) to <9> (Hex 39) or from <A> (Hex 41) to <F> (Hex 46) to indicate
the higher part of the checksum
4° character [CHK 2] from <0> (Hex 30) to <9> (Hex 39) or from <A> (Hex 41) to <F> (Hex 46) to indicate
the lower part of the checksum
5° character <CR> (Hex 0D) carriage return

The format of the answer frame is the same than in continuous modality.

1569‐PT060EE1 Rev. 7 Page 54 of 62

6.4 Bi-directional modality with MODBUS protocol
The RTU version of MODBUS is used.

Received and transmitted frame structure.

General frame structure is as follows:

ADRESS FUNCTION DATA CHECK

8 bits 8 bits N x 8 bits 2 x 8 bits
ADDRESS FUNCTION DATA CHECK
8 bits 8 bits N x 8 bits 2 x 8 bits

ADDRESS 8 bit defining the slave address and ranging from 1 to 32

FUNCTION 8 bit defining the required function.
The functions supported by T060E are the following
Code 03 Read Holding Registers
Code 05 Force Single Coil
DATA All data relevant to the specific function
CHECK CRC‐16 (Cyclic Redundancy Check) frame validation

Exception responses

When T060E receives a request involving illegal functions or illegal data an exception response is generated containing
address, function code, error code and checksum.
To indicate that the response is a notification of an error, the high order bit of the function code is set to “1”.

Supported error code are:

01 Illegal function. The message function received is not an allowable action for the
addressed slave.
02 Illegal data address. The address referenced in the data field is not an allowable
address in the address slave location
03 Illegal data value. The value referenced in the data field is not allowable in the
addressed slave location

T060E supported functions

For a complete description of MODBUS available functions, please refer to detailed MODBUS documentation.

Function 03 ‐ Read Holding Registers

Allows the host to obtain the binary value of the content of T060E registers

All registers can be transferred in a single read request.

The below example reads registers 0 through 2 from slave 01:

ADDR FUNC START START # OF # OF CHECK
REG HI ERG ERG HI ERG
LOW LOW
01 03 00 00 00 03 05 CB

Slave answer is as follows:

ADDR FUNC BYTE REG REG REG REG REG REG CHECK
COUNT 0 0 1 1 2 2
HI LOW HI LOW HI LOW
01 03 06 00 0F 00 00 01 C0 74 B4

Value of register 0 is 15, register 1 is 0 and register 2 is 448.

1569‐PT060EE1 Rev. 7 Page 55 of 62

Function 05 ‐ Force Single Coil
Allows the host to force a single coil. In T060E the command is used to issue a TARE or POF reset command.

The below is a valid example:

ADDR FUNC COIL COIL DATA DATA CHECK

# # VALUE VALUE
HI LOW HI LOW

01 05 00 00 FF 00 8C 3A

The normal response is to retransmit the query message:

ADDR FUNC COIL COIL DATA DATA CHECK
# # VALUE VALUE
HI LOW HI LOW

01 05 00 00 FF 00 8C 3A

6.4.1 T060E registers list

Register 0 is a special coded register (see details)

Weight values (gross, net) are coded on two consecutive registers as 2 complement binary value.

Registers marked “R” are read only

Register
