New HIDS Drum Scales!
Click Here to Learn More!There are two considerations to zero the scale.
First is motion. If the scale is in motion, then the module will not zero. If motion is a problem, it may indicate that the motion tolerance is set too low. This setting should be just larger than the amount of fluctuation seen on the reading with no weight changing on the scale.
Second is the zero tolerance. This is the cumulative total amount of gross weight allowed to be zeroed off. If the current gross weight exceeds the zero tolerance, or if the current gross weight plus any previously zeroed amount exceeds the tolerance, then the unit will not zero.
The zero function is instigated by setting word 2, bit 1 in the write buffer to a 1 and initiate the block write. After the module has zeroed the weight or failed, you would change word 2, bit 1 back to a 0 and initiate the block write again. If the module fails to zero the weight, it should respond with an error bit in word 0 of the read buffer.
