With the Counting application, you can
determine the number of parts that
each have approximately equal weight.
Features
– Enter the average piece weight “wRef”
through the keypad
– Save the reference weight “wRef” from
the weighing platform
– Enter the reference sample quantity
“nRef” through the keypad
– Enter reference sample weight using
a bar code scanner
– Automatic reference sample updating
– Counting with two weighing platforms
– Activate info-mode by pressing D
(> 2 sec)
– Toggle the display from piece count to
weight by pressing the
Weigh. soft
key, and back by pressing
Count.
– Define the level of accuracy (display
resolution) applied when a calculated
reference sample quantity is saved
– Automatic initialization when the
Combics is switched on. The indicator
is initialized with the most recently
used values for reference sample quan-
tity “nRef” and reference sample weight
“wRef”. Configured in Setup under:

* Calculation is based on the active net
weight value and the quantity entered
Before the quantity on the platform can
be calculated, the average piece weight
must be entered in the application.
There are three ways to enter this value
in the program:
– Calculation:
– Place the number of parts defined as
the reference sample quantity on the
weighing platform and calculate the
average piece weight by pressing the
Start key or n= key, or
– Place any number of parts on the
weighing platform, enter the number
of parts using the keypad, and then
press the
nRef soft key.
How the reference weight is calculated
depends on the application setting for
resolution. The value is either rounded
off in accordance with the display reso-
lution, or saved with 10-fold or 100-
fold resolution, or with the maximum
internal resolution of the weighing
platform.
– Keypad input: Enter a reference sample
weight (i.e., the weight of one piece)
using the keypad and press
wRef to
save it.
– Bar code input: Enter the reference
sample weight using a bar code scanner
After initialization, you can use the
connected weighing platform to count
parts.
The initial application values are valid
until deleted by pressing the c key,
or until overwritten by a new value.
They also remain saved after you turn
off the Combics.
