Part of load measuring device from which direct reading of result is obtained (TSX XBT N410).

Graduates a piece of measuring apparatus.

The configuration gathers together the data which characterizes the machine (invariant) and which is necessary for the module to operate. This information is stored in the constant PLC %KW zone. The PLC application cannot modify them.

Programming software of Schneider Electric PLCs.

(central processing unit) Generic name used for Schneider Electric processors

A Control Expert service that is used to check the module directly when it is online.

discrete I/Os

Exchanges between the CPU and the specific application modules carried out by the Control Expert program in order to update data specific to the module.

Indication of the load weight on an instrument when no tare or predefining device has been used.

input/output

input/output derived data type

Sealing a piece of apparatus with lead. This function is established by the positioning of a jumper in the weighing module.

The objective of this device is measurement conformity. The accessible parameters only have influence on the aspects of the mechanism's exploitation of module information. (The unit, weight, scale division, etc, are read only.)

The maximum static load that can be supported by the instrument, without permanently altering its metrological qualities.

Part of instrument that receives the load.

Maximum weighing capacity, not taking into account the additive capacity of the tare.

The science of weights and measures.

Load value under which weighing results can be marred by a relative error that is too large.

Weight indication of a load placed on an instrument after a tare device has been used.

Net weight = gross weight - tare weight

Weighing instruments that require the intervention of the operator during the weighing process, in order to deposit loads on the load receiver device and retrieve loads from it, for example, as well as to obtain the result. These instruments allow the weighing result to be directly observed, either displayed or printed out. The two possibilities are covered by the word indication.

The rules governing the behavior of the module during the transitional phases or when an error is detected.

Numerical value, representing a weight, which is entered into the instrument at configuration or by adjustment or program.

Families of Schneider Electric hardware products.

Value in mass units, expressing the difference between two consecutive indications for one numerical indication.

Device allowing the indicator to be recalibrated in the event of a deviation from zero (due to dirt accumulation, for example). This operation can only be carried out in the extent of zero range (+/-2 % or +/-5 % of the maximum range according to the weighing instrument).

Load placed on the load receiver along with the product to be weighed. For example: product packaging or container.

Device allowing the instrument indication to be moved to zero when a load is positioned on the load receiver:

Device allowing a predefined tare value to be subtracted from a gross weight value and indicating the result of the calculation. The weighing range is consequently reduced.

Weight value of a load, determined by a tare weighing device.

Action allowing the instrument indication to be moved to zero when a load is positioned on the load receiver.

Measuring instruments that determine the mass of a body using the force of gravity.

These instruments can also be used to determine other sizes, quantities, parameters or characteristics linked to the mass. According to the way they function, weighing instruments are either classified as automatic or non-automatic functioning instruments.

Interval between maximum and minimum weight.

Tare weight of load receiver when equipped with its mechanical accessories (vibratory extractor, screw, trap, screw jack, etc.). It does not appear in the weight indication but must be taken into account when calculating the maximum load of the sensors.

Device allowing slow derivations from zero to be made up, within the limits of the extent of the zero range.
