PROGRAM MODES

The IDS 422 is the only digital weight meter in its class that is fully programmable in an easy and flexible macro language called Scale BasicÔ. In addition to the built-in modes of operation, Scale Basic allows you to customize the operation of the IDS 422 to meet your application requirements.  The Scale Basic language provides various commands and functions that include: math operations, I/O control, setpoints, timers, data entry, ID storage, message display, and program sequence control among others. Programming the IDS 422 can be performed through the keyboard or a PC using the optional EZ-LINKÔ software that greatly facilitates setup and programming.

MODE 0 - Normal
Basic gross, tare and net weighing

MODE 1 - Keyboard Tare
Same as Mode 0 but tare weight is keyboard entered

MODE 2 - Print Weight and Total
Print multiple gross or net weights and keep a running total for job, lot, etc. Print accumulated gross, tare and net totals at the end

MODE 3 - Print Weight With Subtotal and Total
Same as Mode 2 but subtotals can be printed.

MODE 4 - Multi-Container/Axle Weighing
Push the PRINT button to sequentially number and print a series of weighments. Push the TOTAL button to print and clear the total 

MODE 5 - Auto Weigh and Print (Auto Axle Weigh)
Same as Mode 4 but printing is automatic when weights are placed on the scale. Provides traffic light control and trip level configuration

MODE 6 - Auto Axle Weigh (Long Scales)
Same as Mode 5 but previous axles are auto tared

MODE 7 - Peak Hold Mode
Display or print the gross or net peak weight detected

MODE 8 - Over/Under Checkweigh
Provides 3 TTL outputs and 2 setpoints to indicate over, under and between weight conditions. Outputs can activate lights or alarms

MODE 9 - Bulkweigh
Provides setpoint entry and relay output to control fill process.  Remote start/stop operation with configurable scale empty and draft weights. Use for multiple drafts with subtotal and total printing
