Safety notes
Using for the Intended Purpose
The measuring system with its connected mechanical components is only
intended for weighing and control applications directly associated with them. Any
use beyond this is deemed as not as originally intended.

Sources of danger
The measuring system does not generate any hazards during the weighing
process if the system is properly installed and put into service.
Using the measuring system might be dangerous if the system takes on control
functions or when the material weighed is transported. Potential sources of danger
would then be add-on equipment that the material weighed is transported in or
metered through. In such cases, the measuring system may cause residual
hazards if untrained staff uses or operates it incorrectly.
This measuring system may be a component of a more complex system. The
system operator bears the full responsibility for operating safety.

Safety notes

Labelling residual hazards

This symbol indicates hazards that could cause personal injury or even death in
extreme cases.
This symbol indicates hazards that could cause property damage to the measuring
system or other system components.

Personnel
Only trained technical staff may prepare, assemble, start up, operate, service or
maintain the measuring system.
Everyone doing work on the measuring system should read the safety instructions
and be aware of and follow the parts of the service manual applicable to them.
The operator should use the service manual to instruct the operating personnel to
comply with all regulations and instructions.

Changing parameters
Parameters dictate how the measuring system functions. Only persons familiar
with the systems function should change the parameters (such as persons trained
by SCHENCK). Incorrect parameter settings may be dangerous to persons or
cause property damage with control systems connected to the system. They may
also greatly disturb the weighing process.

Password:
Parameters are protected by password from being changed without authorization.
The measuring system operator should use the password in a responsible fashion.

Acknowledging fault indications

Fault indications may only be acknowledged after the cause of the fault has been
rectified.
Before acknowledging a fault, please ensure that connected peripheral units are
functioning properly. Especially connected control systems should be in a defined
and safe state.

3.1 Load cells

Connection of the equipment

If the scale design provides the ground connection for a load cell body, it is not
necessary to connect it via PAS.
It is not necessary to contact the cable screen on terminal 50 of the
interconnecting control with load cells where the shield of the connecting channel
is connected to the load cell body (such as Schenck VBB).
In this case, the shield is contacted via the load cell body and PAS or earth.
Please refer to the manufacturers documentation for details on connecting more
load cells.

3.1.1 Preparing the load cell plug

The memory chip for adjusting and calibrating data has to be mounted before
connecting the load cell cable.
The chip is enclosed in the delivery.
Connection 1 of the chip is removed (refer to the Figure; the flat side is on top).
It is connected on pins 2 and 3 of the plug as shown (refer to the Figure; the
flat side is on top)
The parameters are write-protected with a jumper between pins 1 and 3.

Installing the legal-for-trade memory

Please do the following for subsequent installation of a legal-for-trade memory:
n Attach the module on the XES plug. The modules plug points to the plugs of
the mainboard (refer to the photo).
n It makes sense to safeguard the module with some hot glue.
n If a fieldbus card is used simultaneously with the legal-for-trade memory, the
LEDs on the bus card will push the memory board aside a little. This is safe.

Caution!
W100 has to be in position 2-3 to operate with the DISOMAT.
Note:
If the last slave that is actively terminated is removed from the bus, this may cause
the entire bus to malfunction. This fault occurs particularly often when using
alternating scales. This problem can be prevented by using a separate active bus
termination such as the one offered by Siemens under order number 6ES7
972-0DA00-0AA0. You can also purchase the bus termination from Schenck
Process under material number V014298.B01.
External wiring
Instructions for setting up external wiring and preventing
malfunctions can be found in the Profibus
Guideline of the Profibus User Organization (PNO),
order number 2.111.
Please refer to the BV-H 2316 DISOMAT, Bplus, DISOMAT Opus, DISOBOX,
Data Communication for more details on the Profibus, particularly for setting up
transmitted data.
Projecting aids (drawings, rules)
Part 3 of the Profibus standard DIN 19245 defines a system master data file while
the matching Profibus planning file (.gsd) is available on storage medium. You can

Fieldbus monitoring
Fieldbus monitoring (Profibus DP)
Since output contacts are set and feed unit drives can be triggered via the fieldbus
interface, any breakdown in communication has to be identified and the
corresponding outputs have to be put into the safe state. Monitoring is active when
the set timeout time 0 and a fieldbus card is connected.
If communication to a fieldbus master breaks down, any charging in process is
stopped after the time-out time and a fault is indicated. After resuming
communication, the fault indication is automatically cleared.

5.1 Serial connection

Serial connection
DISOMAT Satus has an explicit diagnosis interface to connect DISOPLAN. The
PC is connected via a zero modem cable.
Der Anschluss der DISOBOX verwendet Schnittstelle S1 im Gert. Am
einfachsten wird das Schenck-Kabel V052410.B01 verwendet. Alternativ kann
auch ein Kabel nach den Plnen im Systemhanbdbuch BV-H 2251 angefertigt
werden. Sofern die Schnittstelle S1 nicht von anderen Gerten belegt ist, ist der
Anschluss von DISOPLAN jederzeit mglich. Ist die Schnittstelle anderweitig
belegt, z.B. durch eine Zweitanzeige, muss die DISOBOX aus- und eingeschaltet
werden. Der Start des Einrichtbetriebs mit DISOPLAN ist innerhalb der ersten
Minute nach dem Einschalten mglich. Nach dem Beendigen von DISOPLAN wird
das Gert erneut aus- und eingeschaltet und nimmt nach einer Minute den
normalen Betrieb auf.
The same mechanism is also available with DISOMAT Opus. You can activate
setting-up mode at any time in the 5C Start DISOPLAN menu item.
All systems can also be configured via Ethernet (the VET 020 option card has to
be installed on DISOBOX). This allows access to the system at any time, but the
configuration of the PC used has to allow access to the systems network address.
The following figure shows the start screen of DISOPLAN:

You can use Information to call up data on the oldest / most recent memory input
and its assignment. Then you can read the data into a new file or attach it to an
existing file. We recommend attaching files especially with greater amounts of data
since reading out a full legal-for trade memory can take several hours.
The data are filed in a text file and they can be opened with data processing
programs or also be imported into Excel.

5.10 Editing language

You can not only load prepared language files into DISOMAT as described above.
You can also change them and create new languages (under the Actions / Edit
Language menu item).

5.11 Control unit

You can start a window in the Actions / Control Unit item that shows the entire
display of DISOMAT. This allows you to operate the instrument via the built-in
keyboard. This function is especially useful when DISOPLAN is operated via
modem or network and the instrument is not in view.

Calibration / signs

5.11 Control unit

Calibration / signs
The legal-for-trade parameters and the results of adjustment are stored in the
scale connector that is called a dongle. The benefit is the fact that it does not have
to be adjusted again after exchanging or changing the DISOMAT. Manipulating the
dongle causes a loss of adjustment.

Switch the mains voltage off

Open the system and the dongle casing by unhinging on the side with a
screw driver
Remove the wire jumper between clips 1 and 3 of the attaching plug
(refer to the photograph)
Do calibration as described in the service manual.
The relevant data are write proteted when a wire jumper is set between
clips 1 and 3.
Clip the dongles plastic casing components together.
If it is calibrated, tape the calibration lead over the casing seam.
The instrument casing is not locked
A stamping plate is placed on the outside of the casing - preferably on the
front side above the keyboard - that has the following data:
- Min
- Max
-e
- The accuracy class of the scale (III or IIII)
- Its licence number D06-09-xx
- CEyy where yy is the last two digits of the year it was built (for instance,
CE06 was built in 2006)
- The easist way to make the plate is with Schencks DISOFORM software
and the figure below shows a sample print-out.
