TABLE OF CONTENTS
- The entry into the cable board of cells must be independent ( on one side or the other of the
board ) and directly connected to the terminal board of the device without breaking by bearing
terminal boards or passing through troughs containing other cables.
- Use the " RC " filters on the instrument-driven coils of the remote control switches.
- In case of 230Vac supply, use a 380/230Vac transformer avoiding to use the 380Vac phase and
the neutral.
- The installer of the board is responsible for securing the electrical safety of the indicators.
- It is a good norm to let the indicators always switch on to prevent the formation of condensation.
OPERATION
Weight transmitter with 4 set-point free settable on full range, 4 output potential free relay contacts
(115Vac/30Vdc, 0.5 A).
For weights superiour or equal to the values of the set-points the related contacts will be closed.
The opening of the contacts for decreasing weight will be executed by considering the histeresys
values programmed in the constants.
The WT60 is equipped with 3 inputs to perform the following functions:
- Weight zero-setting
- Print
- Gross / Net weight visualization or Peak function
CALIBRATION: Instrument calibration can be performed by setting the full scale of the instrument
and the sensitivity of load cells (THEORETICAL CALIBRATION) or by means of a SAMPLE
WEIGHT.
SERIAL PORTS: The instrument is equipped with a RS232 serial port (COM 1) and a
RS422/485 serial port (COM 2).
According to serial ports setting, executable via keyboard, the following connections can be
performed:
- 24 column printer : weight value (gross / net / peak), date, time and instrument identification
number can be printed out via keyboard or external contact.
- remote display for weight transmission.
- PC / PLC : Communication Protocol for PC, ModBus, ProfiBus (only with converter model
Modprofi).
ANALOG OUTPUT (16 bit) : the full scale of the output can be set from the keyboard between 10%
and 100% of the instruments full scale (16 bit - 65536 div.).

$ a a o u t d e f a u l t ck ck CR
in which :
o u t d e f a u l t = 10 c. of serial command identification ( 111, 117, 116, 100, 101, 102,
97, 117, 108,116 ASCII )
CHECK-SUM CALCULATION
- The result of XOR operation is composed of 2 exadecimal characters ( number from 0 to 9 or letter
from A to F ).
- The check sum is composed of 2 characters representing the result of the XOR operation
(exadecimal notation - characters " 7 " and " 5 " ).
Check sum calculated: $ 01 t 75 <CR> ( requested weight address 1)

MODBUS PROTOCOL RTU
The MODBUS-RTU protocol enables reading and writing of registers present in LAUMAS
instruments, based on the standard addressing system provided in the reference guide of Modicon
PI-MBUS-300.
Pay special attention to the values sent to the instrument: these must remain within the
ranges specified in the tables on the following pages (and must guarantee correct instrument
operation).
Some data will be written directly into a special memory named EEprom, which can be
written a limited number of times only (100,000).
Therefore avoid writing continuously in these locations.
If not otherwise specified, numerical values are expressed as decimal values in the following
pages (in case of 0x prefix values are expressed as hexadecimal).
Parameters:
- 1 start bit;
- 8 data bits, least significant bit;
- no parity, odd or even parity.
- 2 stop bit in case of no parity (n-8-2)
- 1 stop bit in case of checking parity (O-8-1, E-8-1)

MODBUS SUPPORTED FUNCTIONS
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
03 (0x03) READ HOLDING REGISTER
16 (0x10) PRESET MULTIPLE REGISTERS)
In case of DELAY string the instrument waits for the time set before sending the response string to
the PC.
- To chage serial setting not use the same serial port but use the menu parameters.
- Switch instrument off and switch on again it to save the settings. If you change the Delay time and
the instrument address is not necessary switch off the instrument.
