10. Mounting and Installation

The PLC should be secured to an enclosed cabinet while mounting. For heat dissipation, make sure to provide a minimum
clearance of 50mm between the unit and all sides of the
cabinet.

Rail mounting: Use standard 35 mm rail.

Screw mounting: Each MPU or extension Module has two

positioning screw holes, the diameter of the hole is 4.5mm.
Please refer to the dimension figure for the location of the
positioning holes and their spacing.

To avoid over temperature and for a better heat dissipation,

do not mount PLC to a position near to the bottom/top of the
cabinet. Do not mount PLC in vertical direction.

Extension Module wiring: Connections between extension Modules and connections between Module and MPU are achieved
through bus.A extension cable will be configured to every extension Module, for the connection between two different
Modules.Connection methods: turn the right side of extended interface(the last MPU or extension Module) over, plug the
extension cable in the extended interface, then press down the cover of the extended interface to reset the interface, the extended
interface at the right side of the Module will be reserved for extension of the next Module. Connect all extension Modules in turn in
the same way.

 en.haiwell.com Haiwell PLC - Load Cell Module Application Example

Application example of load Cell Module

One. The Module is extended through the parallel port of the host

(The sample program is H01WG and H02WG 1 channel program, the method of using 1, 2 channels is the same, as long as the
CR number is changed to the corresponding value of the second channel.)

1. Load Cell Modules Power Supply

All expansion Modules of Haiwell do not require external power supply, can be directly powered by the parallel port of the host.
If the PLC is 24VDC power supply, the external switching power supply is supplied to the host, and the extensions are powered by
the parallel port from the host plc. The Module power supply is essentially from the external switch power supply, so the Module
needs no additional external power supply. If the expansion Module has insufficient power supply (the PWR light on the Module is
not bright), the external switching power supply capacity is not enough. The correct approach is to enlarge the power supply of the
external switch power.

If the host PLC is 220VAC power supply, the extension Modules are powered by the parallel port from the host plc, the expansion
Module does not need to connect the external power supply; if the expansion Module is in insufficient power supply (the PWR
lamp on the Module is not bright), the correct approach is to supply the power supply Module only by a single switch power supply.
(This case happens when the number of expansion Modules is too big and external loads are too much).

Haiwell extension Module can be used as remote IO, so it will not be restricted by the number of system I/O points, and can be
installed distributively, reducing cable wiring and solving the problem of interference caused by the long distance of traditional
wiring. When Modules are used as remote IO, they need power to be supplied externally The external power supply of the Module
is optional with 24VDC and 220VAC.

2. Load Cell Module Operation Procedure

When we get the weighing Module.

The first step: Calibration. The weight can be read directly after calibration.
The second step: Read the weight. One is average weight and the other is real-time weight. We usually read average weight.
The third step: Adjust the stability and responsiveness of weighing. The above two factors affect the sampling frequency, average

9 / 20
 en.haiwell.com Haiwell PLC - Load Cell Module Application Example

number and filtering rate. Therefore, we can adjust the above three parameters get proper stability and responsiveness .
The fourth step: In order to make the usage more convenient, we also provide the status-value for the load Cell Module,if the
current status is like no-load, exceeding the upper limit, or value measurement with stability. We can achieve the automatic
judgment control of weighing. At the same time, it also has the functions of gross weight setting, zero-point tracking, automatic
tare-removing, and so on.
To introduce the weighing Module programming and practical use.
3. Hardware Configuration
In this case, the host is N40S2T, with a load Cell Module, so the hardware configuration is as follows:

4.Calibration method and program sample

The weighing Module supports three segments of calibration, and can realize multi-scale calibration. Take Channel 1 as an
example, the tutorial steps are as follows:
Step1: No weight is put on the weighing unit.
Step2: CR26H write value 1, enter the calibration mode;
Step3: In the first paragraph of calibration, a standard weight is added to the weighing unit to write 16 bits of weight on the chassis
to CR27H. If 32 bits weight is displayed, the 16 bits of weight is written to CR28H (that is, 32 bits integer value of weight is written
to CR27CR28H). If multi-section calibration criterion is not needed to Step6.
Step4: If the second paragraph of the calibration is needed, add another standard weight to the weighing unit, write the weight of
the current chassis 16 bits lower into CR29H, and if it is 32 bits weight display, write the weight 16 bits higher into CR30H (that is,
32 bits integer value of weight into CR29 CR30H), if no multi-section calibration criterion is needed to Step6;
Step5: If the third paragraph of the calibration is needed, add another standard weight to the weighing unit, write the weight of the
current chassis 16 bits lower into CR29H, and if it is 32 bits weight display, write the weight 16 bits higher into CR30H (that is, 32
bits integer value of weight into CR29 CR30H), if no multi-section calibration criterion is needed to Step6;
Step6: CR26H writes value 2 to end the calibration process.
Examples of multi-segment calibration procedures are as follows:

5.Read Average-Weight and Real-time Weight

5.1 Weight 16 Bit/32 Bit Display Switching
Module weight 16-bit display and 32-bit weight display are two modes, which can realize 16-bit/32-bit weight switching by CR13H.
The program example is as follows.

5.2 Weight 16 Bit/32 Bit Data Reading

The weight read by module is divided into average weight and real-time weight. Usually we read average weight. The average
weight CR of 16 bits is 10H, and the real-time weight CR of 16 bits is 12H. The program example is shown below.

The average weight CR of 32 bits is 16-17H, and the real-time weight CR of 32 bits is 14-15H. The sample program is as follows.

6. Adjustment for weighing stability and response speed

Module weighing stability and responsiveness will vary according to the actual application of different needs, and the impact of
these two factors are sampling frequency, average times and filtering ratio. Therefore, we can adjust the above three parameters
to do stability and responsiveness adjustment.

1BH: Sampling Frequency

Sampling frequency, that is, the number of sampling times per second, such as CR1BH=3 means 50 times per second. The faster
the sampling, the faster the average calculation, so the average weighing and real-time weight update faster. But the stability will
decrease accordingly.

CR register 1BH Channel 1 sampling frequency

1FH: Filtering Ratio
The larger the register value and the larger the filter ratio, the more stable the average weight value (10H), but the greater the
delay and the lower the sensitivity. The function of filtering is to filter out the abrupt change value, so that the average filter value
will not be affected by the abrupt change value. The filtering ratio ranges from 10% to 50%. The default is 2, that is, 20%,
assuming that the average number of times is 10, then the system will collect 10 data from large to small , filtering ratio of 20%, is
to filter out two data, that is, remove a maximum value, then remove a minimum value, and finally get an average value.

12 / 20
 en.haiwell.com Haiwell PLC - Load Cell Module Application Example

1EH: Average times

The bigger the register value the more samples, the more accurate the average weight value (10H) will be, but the slower the
update speed. The default is 10, that is to say, every time we collect 10 weight data, we get an average and update the average
weight.

7. Gross Weight and Net Weight

1. When the value of 25H is written to 1 and the weight value is displayed in 16 bits, the current 16-bit weight value (10H) is read
as the weight value of the leather weight; when the weight value is read as the leather weight and stored in 18H and the weight
value is displayed in 32 bits, the current 32-bit weight value (16H 17H) is read as the weight value of the leather weight; and when
the weight value is displayed in 18H and 19H, the weight value is stored in 18H and 19H.
2, 18H, 19H store the skin weight value.
3. Enable control settings. It is controlled by Bit1 bit of 1AH. Bit1 = 0 - Gross weight, Bit1 = 1 - net weight.
Switching the current display weight to gross or net weight, the calculation uses the value of 18H (16 bits)/18H19H (32 bits) as the.
tare weight.

8. Automatic peeling 2AH (Judge every 5S)

The weighing platform or equipment causes dust or residual material to be scattered during the weighing process, causing the
platform to be in the absence of any weighing items, causing the current weight to be non-zero.If the automatic peeling function is
used, the weighing module will automatically peel the current value as long as the current weight is less than the set automatic
peeling weight 2AH value.

9.Weighing state
The load Cell Module also detects the status of the scale and records it to a special CR register CR11H, CR11H status code as
follows:
Bit0: When the bit is 1, it indicates that the weighing unit is in no-load state, and the no-load check range is set on CR 23H.
Bit1: When this bit is 1, it means that the upper weight of the weighing unit exceeds the set upper weight limit. The upper weight
limit CR for 16-bit display is 24H, and the upper weight limit CR for 32-bit display is 2E 2FH.
Bit2: When the bit is 1, the measurement of the weighing unit reaches a stable state. The standstill check range and the number of
checks are set by CR20H and CR21H.
The registers can be converted to the WTOB instructions for quick checking.

10.Standstill check function

When the item is placed on the load Cell to measure weight, the standstill check function can be used to know whether the current
measurement is stable.
if the amplitude of the measured value is within the checking range set by CR 21H, the relevant Bit of CR11H will be set to 1.
If the measured value exceeds the set range of standstill, the relevant stable-Bit of the CR 11H will be set to 0, until the standstill
check number 20H is within the checking range, and the relevant stable-Bit of the CR 11H will be then set to 1.
For example, the measurement time is 10ms, the standstill check times is set to 10 times, the checking range is 1000, when the
variation range exceeds 1000, the measurement value is unstable, that is, the relevant stable-Bit of CR 11H will be set to 0, when
the 100ms (10*10ms) variation range is within the checking range 1000, the relevant stability-Bit will be reset to 1 again. It is
recommended to judge the stability before controlling it.

11.Zero point detection function

Zero point tracking is related to address CR22H and CR23H.
Zero tracking density for CR 22H Channel 1. 0: close zero point tracking function; other values (absolute value) for zero tracking.
Under normal circumstances, it shows 0 after calibration. Sometimes, however, there is a small fluctuation due to equipment jitter
and other reasons. This fluctuation range is defined as 0 if it is in the tolerable range set by CR22H.

12.Restore factory default parameters

The default parameter to restore the factory is CR 9FH register.The CR will remain at 1 during normal operation. When the factory
value is restored, write CR to CR[159], and then restore the factory value after re-powering.
Recoverable CR include:
1. Skin weight [CR24, 25/CR88, 89] (0) 7. Stable inspection times[CR32/CR96]（5）
2.Gross/net weight display[CR26/CR90]（0/gross weight） 8. Stable inspection range[CR33/CR97]（10）
3.Automatic peeling range[CR42/CR106]（0） 9.Zero judgment range[CR35/CR99]（10）
4.Sampling frequency[CR27/CR91]（3/60Hz） 10.Maximum weight[CR36/CR100]（32767）
5.Average time[CR30/CR94]（10） 11.Zero tracking strength[CR34/CR98]（0）

6.Filter ratio[CR31/CR95]（2）

Two. Load Cell Module for remote IO

Haiwell extension Module has a RS485 communication port (part models with additional Ethernet communication interface),
which supports parallel bus (the parallel interface with PLC host by extending the extension bus) and the serial bus (using the
RS485 communication port with the communication port of the PLC, the host plc using the communication instruction to control
the remote Module). When you use the serial connection, then the remote IO Module is not limited by system IO points, and can
be distributively installed.
It is very important for Distributed installation to collect or monitor a large number of discrete DI/DO or analog signals
(temperature, humidity, pressure, air volume, flow, fan speed, valve opening and so on). The Distributed installation control and
unrestricted expansion are easily realized, which greatly improves the control system. It reduces the wiring cost of all kinds of
signals, and reduces the interference caused by the over-length of the analog signal line.
Next, we will introduce remote IO usage.

1. Load Cell Module power supply

When load Cell Module is used for remote IO，24VDC external switch power supply, PWR indicator light is on.
2. Communication interface introduction
H01WG has the RS485 interface.
3. Communication protocol and default parameters
RS485：
It supports standard Modbus RTU/ASCII protocol, and it can communicate with any third-party devices, such as PC scada, touch
screen, text display and PLC, which support Modbus protocol.
Soft address: by programming software, the address set by remote tool, the address range 1-254, the default value is 1;
Baud rate: 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 optional;
Data format: N，8，2 RTU、 E，8，1 RTU、 O，8，1 RTU、 N，8， 1 RTU、E，7，1 ASCII、 O，7，1 ASCII、 N，7，2
ASCII
RS485 default parameters: 19200, N 82 RTU, station number 1.
4.When Module is used for remote IO, Module communication parameter configuration method is introduced as
folllows：
There are three methods for remote IO parameter configuration:
①It can be configured by programming software tool remote Module (recommended).
②The Module can be connected to the host plc by parallel port and configured by hardware configuration and TO instruction.
③The Module can be configured by MODW instruction through serial communication

5.Parameter configuration example: configuring the Module through programming software “remote Module tool”.

Hardware connection
①.through the RS485 (A+ B- terminal) connection: the computer with the serial port, can use 232 to 485 converter, if the PC with
USB interface, you can use USB to 485 converter.
②.connect via Ethernet + communication interface: the Module can connect directly to the computer network port with standard
network cable, or the computer and Module will be connected to the Ethernet switch.

Software operation steps

Click on the software menu bar - "remote Module":

The default address of the Module is 1 with format 19200, N 82 RTU, and the online success is as follows:

If there is only one plc on the 485 port, then you can use “find standalone”. If there are many, set the start address and stop
address, so that all the machines on the 485 port can be found and the parameters are configured. Click exit to enter the
configuration interface.
In the communication parameter area, we can change the Module's name, address, baud rate and data format and other
communication parameters, and then download it after modification.

6.Examples of remote IO applications: reading Module real-time weight

①:hardware wiring: the 485 ports of the host PLC and the load Cell Module are connected by the shielded twisted cable and the
A+ is connected by A+ and B- to B-. If PLC connects to multiple weighing Modules, it is necessary to connect by mode of “hand by
hand”.
② : Modbus address: from the CR parameter table above, we can see that the H01WG Module CR 12H means the real-time
weight.
③PLC program: this example H01WG communication is the default parameter: station number 1, baud rate 19200, data format N
82 RTU. PLC reads the 4 Channels values as follows:

7.Examples of remote IO applications: calibration

The weighing Module supports three segments of calibration, and can realize multi-scale calibration. Take Channel 1 as an
example, the tutorial steps are as follows:
Step1: No weight is put on the weighing unit.
Step2: CR26H write value 1, enter the calibration mode;
Step3: In paragraph 1, a standard weight is added to the weighing unit, and the weight on the current chassis is written into
CR27H when the 16-bit weight is displayed, while the weight on the current chassis is written into CR27H CR28H when the 32-bit
weight is displayed.
Step4: If the second calibration is needed, add another standard weight to the weighing unit, and write the weight on the current

chassis into CR29H when the 16-bit weight is displayed, and write the weight on the current chassis into CR29H CR30H when the
32-bit weight is displayed, otherwise implement Step6.
Step5: If the third paragraph of the calibration is needed, add another standard weight to the weighing unit, and write the weight of
the current chassis into CR31H when the 16-bit weight is displayed, while the weight of the current chassis is written into CR31H
CR32H when the 32-bit weight is displayed, otherwise Step6 will be executed.
Step6: CR26H writes value 2 to end the calibration process.
Examples of multi-segment calibration procedures are as follows:
