2BCD Interface Installation and Configuration Manual

Introduction 1

About This Manual

This manual is intended for use by service technicians

responsible for installing the BCD option in 920i®

digital weight indicators.

This manual applies to indicators using Version 1.04

of the 920i software.

Some procedures described in this manual

require work inside the indicator enclosure.

These procedures are to be performed by

qualified service personnel only.

1.0 Introduction

The BCD interface is used with 520 digital weight indicators to send weight and status information to remote

displays, printers and other peripheral devices. The data is updated after each display update and continuously

available for use.

The BCD interface option is CMOS, NMOS, and TTL compatible. BCD outputs are capable of sourcing/sinking

20mA.

The BCD option comes with a BCD interface option card and ribbon cable. An external port provides for

connection of a DB-37 interface cable (which exits the back of the 520) for communication to a peripheral

device. See the 520 Installation Manual (PN 68973) for proper connections on the 520 CPU board.

The BCD (binary-coded decimal) option uses a straight assignment of the binary equivalent. The weights of the

BCD code are 8, 4, 2, and 1. See Table 1-1 for decimal to binary conversion.

2BCD Interface Installation and Configuration Manual

2.0 Installation

Figure 2-1 shows the BCD option card as installed in the 520 indicator. The indicator enclosure must be open to

install the BCD card.

The 520 has no on/off switch. Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the

power outlet.

Use a wrist strap to ground yourself and protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) when

working inside the indicator enclosure.

These units use double pole/neutral fusing which could create an electric shock hazard. Procedures

requiring work inside the indicators must be performed by qualified service personnel only.

2.1 BCD Option Card Installation

1. Disconnect the 520 indicator from power source.

2. Place the indicator on an antistatic work mat. Remove screws that hold the backplate or cover to the

enclosure body, then lift the backplate or cover away from the enclosure and set it aside.

3. Use the 8-32 nuts in hardware kit to secure DB-37 connector plate to backplate of indicator.

Figure 2-1. 520 Indicator with BCD Option Installed

4. Carefully align the large option card connector (J1) with connector J2 on the 520 CPU board. Press down

to seat the option card in the CPU board connector.

5. Use the 4-40 screws provided in the option kit to secure the other end of the option card to the threaded

standoffs on the 520 CPU board.

6. Plug 40-pin ribbon cable to J4 on BCD card.

Do not connect communications to J3 if switch SW1-4 is in Units mode.

7. Plug serial cable to J3 on BCD card. Plug other end of serial cable to J8 on 520 CPU board. Use the

nylon tie in the parts kit to secure the serial cable to the mounting pem (see Figure 2-2 below).

NOTE: When connecting serial cable to J8 of 520 CPU board, be sure that red wire goes to TX (transmit), black wire to

GND (ground), and green wire to RX (receive).

2.2 Dip Switch Configuration

The BCD option card contains dip switches (see Figure 2-3 on page 3). Move the switches to configure BCD

interface parameters (see Table 2-1).

Unit Status Bit/Communications Output Selection

See Table 2-2 for unit status bit/communications output select configuration.

By connecting J3 on the BCD board to J8 on the 520 board, communications mode allows the throughput of

connector J3 to be used as a wiring path for communications from the 520 indicator to an external device through

the DB-37 connector. It is not a communications port, rather an alternative route for wiring a 520 communication

port to an external device.

Do not connect communications to J3 if switch SW1-4 is in Units mode.

Units/Tri-State Input

See Table 2-4 below, for information on configuring units or tri-state input modes.

Data is not valid if the display shows other than numeric data, if the display is held (in regulatory modes), or if data

integrity has been lost. This bit will toggle momentarily to Logic 0 each time the registers are updated. Logic 0 =

data not valid
