Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the IDS 430/433 User's
Manual. This manual describes the installation, calibration and setup, and
operation of the IDS 430/433 weigh scale indicator. The IDS 430/433 is a
microprocessor based weight indicator with rugged design and state-of-the-art
technology. It is designed for use in industrial environments to perform the
following functions:
• Analog to Digital conversion (A/D) - converts the analog signal from a strain
gauge "load cell" to a numeric weight.
• Signal Processing - filters electrical and mechanical noise from the load cell
signal using electronic circuits and digital filtering.
• Basic Weighing - push button zero, tare functions (push button and keyboard
tare), display of gross or net weight and scale status, and transmission of
weight data to a printer and a computer.
• Additional Functions - trip level event monitor, programmable "Scale Basic”
functions, TTL level ‘setpoint’ inputs and outputs, and remote control via TTL
inputs or RS232 serial input.
The IDS 430/433's stainless-steel enclosure is designed for industrial
environments and can be used in wash down applications.
The IDS 430/433 has two bi-directional serial communication ports that are used
for printer output, bar code input, computer communications, and remote control.
The serial ports support RS232, RS422, RS485, and 20ma Current Loop
communication.
The IDS 430/433 has one parallel TTL I/O port for output to a printer or for
setpoint input/output. The TTL inputs can be used for remote control (ZERO,
TARE, GROSS/NET, PRINT).
Options available include time & date, networking, analog output, solid-state
relay board, and peak hold.
