1.0 SWITCHING ON THE WEIGHER


The SYNUS 6 weighing electronics unit is equipped with a master switch for the entire plant
(belt control, dialog PC) that is accessible from the outside.

2.0 DISPLAY SCREEN


2.1 Screen Arrangement
The screen consists of two main parts, with the weight and status indications arranged at the top.
The data area field is situated at the bottom, with the menu selection line separating the two.
The lower part of the data area field can contain up to six dialog-dependent softkeys.

2.1.1 Weight Display


This six-digit, 16 mm-high display shows the weight in g or kg, depending on the employed type of weigh cell.
The weight display mode is characterized by an anteposed letter (Gross, Net or Difference).
Ex-batch indications are always gross indications.
The difference display automatically takes the nominal weight as the reference value.

2.1.2 Status Indication


The status indication, consisting of four quadratic fields with the following meanings,
is situated behind the weight display:

Here, the numerical keypad can be used to enter additional characters (letters and numerals).

When a batch is running, the symbol is displayed in color.

A fault has occurred.

- Data are being saved.


- An attempt is being made to access the external drive.

Data are being printed out.

Data interchange with parent systems.

A zero setting must be carried out (only for “calibrate” option)

2.1.3 Menu Selection Line


The menu selection line shows the headings of the 7 dialog groups.
A numerical field for direct selection of dialogs is located along the right margin.

“operation mode”

Data area field

2.2.1 Classification/Sorting
Five fields denoting the limits and nominal weight. You can display Classification, Sorting or a combination of both
options as desired. This setting is carried out in Customer parameters.
A pair of triangles above these fields show the status of the average value.
The solid black triangle indicates the good-production average.
As soon as it drops below the nominal weight, the color of the triangle changes from black to red,
and the average appears as a numerical value.
The other triangle indicates the floating average of good production.
If this value falls below the calculated weight, the triangle will change to yellow.
The number of readings for the floating average ascertainment is shown in dialogue 240.
The triangle below the classification fields shows the nominal weight.

2.2.2 Profit
The percentage share of good production is shown here.

2.2.3 Throughput
Here, the total production throughput is indicated in pieces/minute.

2.2.4 Total production


The standard deviation and the percentage of accepted TU1-weight packs are indicated as numerical values.
The bar diagram with envelope curve shows the production distribution,
with the quantity of pieces always indicating the value of the longest bar.

2.2.5 Good production


This curve shows the floating-average pattern. The quantity of pieces for its ascertainment is entered in dialog 240.
The curve extends from right to left, beginning with arrival at the double quantity.

2.3 Soft-key Line


Up to six dialog-dependent soft keys can be shown along the bottom margin of the screen.

BA_Synus6-gb_0_20050628_AKa.doc

3.0 KEYPAD AND OPERATION


An array of data-entry and control keys are situated beside and below the screen.

Data entries are made with the numerical keys (0 ... 9 , -),
ABC and the entry of letters and special characters is effected using keys "ABC“.

Entries are deleted with the „C“ key.


C
Entries that have not yet been confirmed can be rescinded with the "ESC" key.
Esc
The „cursor keys“ are used for selecting dialogs and entry fields.
If a field contains several choices, the cursor keys also serve in making the final selection.

OK Entries are confirmed with the „OK“ key.

The „navigation keys“ are used for changing to the next field.

If a dialog comprises several pages, an up- or down-arrow symbol


can be seen in the upper right corner of the dialog window.
The corresponding page-up and page-down keys are used for browsing the pages.
The „000/0“ key activates the field for direct selection of dialogs
000/1 in the menu selection line.

The „JOKER“ key provides quick access to a frequently used dialog.


Allocation of this key is effected via dialogue 610/3 “Customer’s parameters”.

Fixed functions are allocated to the „hot keys”:

Start batch The operation mode of the hot keys is set


in dialog 620/3 “system parameter”:
- no confirmation (direct function)
Terminate batch - with confirmation (function after answer to: yes/no)
- with code (function after entry of the code)

Load product type

The „fault key” is used for displaying and acknowledging faults / errors.

The „soft keys“ (F1 ... F6) are dialog-dependent with regard to quantity and significance.

4.3 Manual entry of batch data


After having selected the operation mode (AWC-WEIGHER or CLASSIFYING-WEIGHER) the batch data can be entered.
Entry of pack length is obligatory because it is needed to calculate the monitoring times.
A missing pack length will lead to the message „Data of manual entry are incomplete”.

Display of the other entry fields can be suppressed in the “Operational mode” (Softkey F3).

As soon as the preselected quantity (number) has been reached (e.g. 1000)
a message is given and the “feeder free”-signal is switched off.

Continue with the next dialog page.

8
BA_Synus6-gb_0_20050628_AKa.doc

If the operation mode „AWC-WEIGHER” has been selected, enter here only the nominal weight,
the class limits are calculated automatically.
The rejection limits can be modified depending on the operation mode.

In operation mode „CLASSIFYING-WEIGHER” the class limits are entered now


beginning with the lower limit (L1 < L2 < L3 < L4).

Start batch pressing the softkey F2.

9
BA_Synus6-gb_0_20050628_AKa.doc

4.4 Load product type


Go to the menu PRODUCTION 100/1 -select LOAD PRODUCT TYPE.

After LOAD PRODUCT TYPE has been selected and confirmed with OK,
the dialog page 120/1 “Load type for batch" appears.

The desired product type can be chosen either directly by clicking it with the curser
or by entering the corresponding article number in the "direct selection" entry field.
The soft key (F6) "Sort" can be used to define the sequence in terms of article number, article designation or date/time.
Select a product type, and push the OK key to confirm, and dialog page 120/1 will appear.
This page - " Load type for batch" - has the same content as that described in dialog 110/1
“Manual entry of batch data".
The contents of the subsequent pages in dialog 120/1 and, hence, the corresponding procedure
are identical with those already described for dialog pages 100/1 "Operation mode" (cf. chp. 4.2);
"Rejection limits" and "Class limits" (cf. chp. 4.3).

5.1 MENU SYSTEM


The menu system (and its operation) is analogous in structure to that of a Windows-equipped PC and,
hence, extensively self-explanatory.

Menu 100 - Production


This menu contains dialogs for starting and terminating the production monitoring process.

Dialog 110 - Manual entry of batch data


Once the production-relevant data, e.g., nominal weight, limits, etc., have been entered, the batch can be started.
The standard operating mode can also be individually adapted to each different batch.

Dialog 120 - Load product type


Here, a batch characterized by the data entered under “Products” can be started.
A batch change can also be effected without altering the stored master data.

Dialog 130 - Modification after start of batch


The tare weight can be changed while a batch is running.
The newly stored value will be allowed for in weight processing from that point on.

Menu 200 - Statistics


This menu contains dialogs with statistical data pertinent to the current batch.
The display always shows a general evaluation of all values accruing in the coarse of a batch,
plus an interval evaluation that can be started with the “New” soft key.
The interval evaluation is restarted in all the individual statistical dialogs and always consists
of numerical values and various types of diagrams.

Dialog 210 - Good production


Data on all unrejected packs are shown here.
An average-value indication similar to the one in the batch’s main display is shown above the pie diagram.

Dialog 220 - Total production


Data on all packs included in an evaluation range are shown here.
Zoom +/- can be used to show the distribution curve in two different resolutions.

Dialog 230 - Distribution


Data on all packs included in an evaluation range, plus the distribution of all five classes, are shown here.
The bar chart shows the distribution of production,
with the number of items always indicating the value of the longest bar.

Dialog 240 - Averages


The average values of total production and good production are shown here,
in addition to their floating averages, for a preselectable quantity of 1 ... 999.
The scale is adjustable as a function of the nominal weight.

12
BA_Synus6-gb_0_20050628_AKa.doc

Menu 300 - Display


This menu contains dialogs for displaying various operational states.

Dialog 330 - Weight display


The data area field shows an enlarged version of the weight value (approx. 90 mm) and of the classification.

Dialog 340 - Min/max weight


The smallest and the largest weights ascertained in the course of a batch are shown in this dialog.

Dialog 350 - Static weigher


This dialogue is used for checking over the weigher with no batch running.
The data area field shows the weight value in 10-fold resolution.

Menu 400 - Report


This menu contains dialogs for indicating various production reports and scope-of-evaluation settings
for the individual reports.

Dialog 410 - Production report


The intermediate, automatic, final and shift reports are shown appropriate to the selected settings.
The indicated evaluation is constantly updated in the course of an active batch.

Dialog 411 - Entry report


This dialog contains the data used for starting the batch.

Dialog 412 - Intermediate report


This dialog contains all statistical data pertinent to the current batch.
A new evaluation interval can be started by pushing the “new” soft key.

Dialog 413 - Automatic report


This dialog contains all statistical data on the current batch and is automatically generated
upon fulfillment of the release criterion.

Dialog 414 - Final report


A final report is generated upon termination of each batch.
The data contained in that report are retained until a new batch starts.

Dialog 415 - Shift report


This dialog serves for reporting on shift production.
Selecting this dialog terminates the current batch and effects an immediate and automatic restart with the same data.

Dialog 416 - Individual weights


Up to 100 individual weight values can be stored in this dialog.
To update the display, the page must be reselected with the aid of the navigation keys
The stored contents are erased upon departure from the dialog.

Dialog 420 - Parameters for report


The scope of evaluation for the individual reports is defined in this dialog,
which is also where the release criteria are set for automatic reporting.

All adjustments can be made independently for each different product type.

Menu 600 - Parameters


This menu contains dialogs for the weigher’s parameterization, in addition to customer-specific adjustment options.

Dialog 610 - Customer’s-parameters


This password-protected dialog is used for defining the operating mode and the type of weigher
(AWC or CLASSIFYING) with the corresponding parameters.
The entry and/or display of additional product data can be enabled or disenabled.
In addition, this is where the joker key assignment, the weight-display mode, the preferred language,
the display mode dialog 330, the bar display mode and the start of batch with belt stopped or in motion
can all be defined and a text (max. 40 characters) entered for "Notice of an external fault signal".

Dialog 620 - System parameters


This password-protected dialog is where the relay control, rejection times and allocation of sorting belts
to the outputs are parameterized.
Machine numbers and weigher numbers can be entered to enhance the system’s unequivocal identification.
The date and time can only be altered ex-batch.
In addition, you can also set the time zone and automatic daylight savings time.
The operation mode of the “Hot keys” “Start / terminate batch and load product type” can be:
- no confirmation = direct function
- with confirmation = function after answer to yes/no
- with code = function after entry of the code

Furthermore, a certain percentage can be entered here for active TU1 control.
The parameter "Ex-batch rejection" can be used to stipulate whether or not all packages
outside of an already started batch are to be rejected.
Moreover, a time limit can be prescribed here for automatic confirmation of faults / errors,
and which types of fault / error are to be signaled by the fault relay can be defined.
Individual keywords can be changed and turned off and on for different access levels in Keyword Management.
However, the Sartorius and General levels cannot be turned off.

Dialog 630 - Sartorius-parameters


This dialog, also password-protected, is reserved for use by service technicians or other duly familiarized personnel.

Dialog 650 - Release options


A code number and associated check number are generated for each option by way of the unit identification.
Entry of those numbers releases/enables the respective option.

Note of reference:
Toggling between kg/g and lbs is only possible during startup.
The entered product types are not converted by toggling!
Reason: It is not possible to convert kg/g into pounds or vise versa without some loss of data.
The linearisation table of the weigh cell is executed in kg/g.
The weigh cell therefore only gives metric weights.
In that case, conversion is carried out subsequently by the SYNUS weighing electronics unit.

9.0 INDICATION OF FAULTS, CAUSES AND REMEDIES

The flashing symbol in the status display indicates the occurrence of a fault.

The “fault key” (standard setting) is used for acknowledging and confirming the fault.
This only erases the error message, but the cause of the fault still needs to be rectified.
Otherwise, the error message will appear again after a short test time.

The cause and possible remedy of the respective fault are shown when the soft key >?< is pressed.
The soft key "Treatment" is used for defining how a particular fault is to be treated.
Fault / error flag:
- Fault key = flashing symbol in the status indicator (standard setting).
- Always = fault message appears directly as a window in the data area.
- Never = only a flashing symbol in the status indicator,
fault shown only in dialog 730 “Fault report".

You can set whether an error message triggers the output of "Weigher fault" in system parameters (620/4).
This can be configured separately for each error message.

Example of a fault message (treatment: error flag "always"):


Fault NR.: 22
FAULT: Weigh cell: light barrier
Soft key >?< Push, and a helper text will appear.
CAUSE: The maximum darkness time has been exceeded.
REMEDY: Clear the photo cell
clean the photo cell
re-adjust the photo cell,
and replace it if necessary.

AWC German/EU-mode prepacked goods regulation/directive, containing, inter alia,
the filling-weight requirements for prepacked goods within the EU.
AWC-Weigher In this operation mode, a nominal weight is entered,
and the corresponding prepacked goods limits are calculated automatically.
At the same time, an evaluation is made pursuant to the legal provisions
of the German/EU-mode prepacked goods regulation.
Bar display mode This mode defines whether classification, sorting or a combination of the two
is displayed during the batch.
Batch number Max. 16-character entry option for batch identification.
Classes By reason of the four limits, there are five classes of packs.
Classifying weigher In this operation mode, four freely selectable limits are entered,
and the packs are classified accordingly.
Difference The difference can only be displayed while a batch is running.
The nominal weight is always automatically taken as the reference weight.
Direct selection Direct selection of a product type or of the auto report by means of the respective number.
Evaluation range Packs within this range are included in the total-production statistics.
The standard evaluation range amounts to 50 % of the respective nominal weight.
Evaluation scope The evaluation scope defines the statistical scope of the reports.
Floating average The average is determined by way of a freely selected quantity between 1 and 999.
This applies both to good production and to total production.
Good production Good production includes all packs that are not rejected.
