c r O w
These keys are used for initializing
applications, and are described in
detail in the following chapters.
Input Through the Weighing
Platform
You can store the weight on the
weighing platform as a tare weight.
Input Through a Bar Sode Scanner
(Combics 2 only)
You can use a bar code scanner to
read in the reference weight for the
active application (counting, weighing
in percent, neutral measurement). Data
input through the bar code scanner is
handled by the Combics in the same
manner as keypad input.
In general, you can use all bar code
formats that are compatible with the
connected bar code scanner.
Input Through the Digital Input/
Output Interface
There are four output control lines and
one input line for use with the check-
weighing and classification applications.
You can assign one of the following
functions to the input control line
(configuration in the operating menu):
– p key
– p key (> 2 sec)
– ) key
– ) key (> 2 sec)
– k key
– n key
– O key
Input Through the COM Port
The Combics is equipped with an SBI
interface for data transfer. You can
define certain parameters for this
interface (generate printout, time-
dependent auto print, ID codes).
This is a simple ASCII interface. The
functions are described in detail in
the chapter entitled “Operating
the Combics," under “Data Output
Functions.” You can define parameters
for the interface (resolution of the
output, time-dependent automatic
output, ID)
Error Codes and Messages
If a key is inactive, this is indicated as
follows:
– The error code “-------" is displayed
for 2 seconds. The display then returns
to the previous screen content.
– An acoustic signal (double-beep)
is emitted.
Dynamic errors are indicated by an
error code (e.g. inf 09) until the error
is corrected.
Temporary errors are indicated for
2 seconds.
“Fatal" errors are displayed continuously
(until you restart the Combics).
The same applies in all operating
modes (weighing, application programs,
operating menu).
Error codes and messages are described
in detail in the chapter entitled “Error
Codes and Messages."
