1.10. Manufacture Date
The product manufacturing date or the date code for the terminal can be found on the serial data
plate (on the top of the enclosure).
1.11. Main PCB
The IND560x terminal’s main printed circuit board (PCB) provides the scale interface for analog
load cell or IDNet. The terminal must be ordered with the required scale interface - it cannot be
modified later.
Note: Connections for both the Analog load cells and an IDNet base are present on the main
board of the IND560x simultaneously. However, only one connection has been enabled in the
firmware of the board.
The main board also contains the DC power input connections, keyboard interface, bus connector
for the display, bus connector for the discrete I/O option board and a connector for the intrinsically
safe current loop or the fiber optic interface board (COM4 and COM5) connections.
An additional option board known as the IND560x-PAB (Power Adapter Board) must be installed
onto the main board of the IND560x to make the terminal compatible with the external NiMH battery

manuals search engine
64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 1-13
pack. The IND560x-PAB can only be used with revision D or higher of the analog version of the
main board. Refer to the Installation Manual for more information regarding the IND560x-PAB.
Note: The revision level is not indicated on the IND560x main board. Revision D (and higher)
main boards can be identified by the presence of the W3 jumper. If a main board has a W3
main jumper, it is at least revision D or higher. If the W3 jumper is not present, the main board
is lower than revision D and cannot be used with the IND560x-PAB.
1.11.1. Analog Load Cell Scale Base
The IND560x can provide power for up to an 87 ohm load (four 350-ohm analog load cells). A
jumper permits configuration for 2mV or 3mV load cells; the 3mV position is selected at the factory.
A removable terminal strip is provided for the load cell connection.
Note: When installed, the IND560x-PAB will cover the mV jumper. Please take this into
consideration during installation of the IND560x analog model.
1.11.2. IDNet Scale Base
The IND560x supports the newer T-Brick Ex T4 style of intrinsically safe high-precision base
through the main board IDNet port. This port provides the power and communication required to
operate this newer style base.
Note: The older PIK Ex module is not supported by the IND560x.
Note: IND560x IDNet terminals cannot be used with the IND560x-PAB and external NiMH
battery pack.
1.11.3. COM1 Serial Port
The main board also contains the COM1 serial port that provides intrinsically safe RS-232
communication. The port is bidirectional and can be configured and used for various functions
such as demand output, SICS host communications, continuous output, ASCII command input (C,
T, P, Z), ASCII character input, report printing, Shared Data Server access, or connection with the
InSite PC Tool.
Note: The approval entity parameters for the COM1 serial port must be checked for compatibility
with those of the remote device when making direct connections to this port inside the
hazardous area. When connecting COM1 to a peripheral in the safe area, a barrier will be
required to properly protect the port and ensure safety of the system. Compare entity values of
the IND560x terminal and the barrier to confirm safe compatibility before connecting.
1.12. IND560x Options
Some of the options and accessories available for use with the IND560x are described in the
following sections. Note that some options require the use of the ACM500 communication module
in the safe area.
1.12.1. Hardware Options
The following internal hardware options are available for the IND560x terminal:
• Fiber optic interface to connect to the ACM500 accessory communication module

1-14 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Introduction
• Intrinsically safe current loop interface to connect to the ACM500 module or ACM200 module
• Intrinsically safe discrete I/O with 4 inputs and 6 outputs
• IND560x-PAB (Power Adapter Board) to make the IND560x terminal compatible with the
external NiMH battery pack
1.12.1.1. Dual Channel Fiber Optic Interface
A dual channel fiber optic interface can be used to connect an IND560x terminal to the ACM500
located in the safe area. This interface also provides connectivity to the older, dual-channel fiber
optic converter (from an 8141, 8525, Puma, or ID3sTx installation).
• The fiber optic interface provides one or two channels of communication designed to use a
hard clad silica fiber optic cable. High speed transmitters and receivers are used to increase the
throughput of data. When combined with the ACM500 communication module and its options,
this permits remote (safe area) operation of COM2 and COM3 serial ports, Ethernet and PLC
interfaces at distances up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) from the IND560x terminal.
• When used with the standard dual-channel fiber optic converter, this interface provides one or
two additional bi-directional serial ports (COM4 and COM5) at the same distance.
• The fiber optic interface can be used to communicate directly between two IND560x terminals
in a Master-Remote configuration
NOTE: Plastic core fiber optic cable can be used on short cable runs of 40 m (130 ft) or
less.
1.12.1.2. Dual Channel IS Current Loop Interface
Instead of the fiber optic cable interface, an intrinsically safe, dual channel current loop (CL)
interface can be used to connect an IND560x terminal to the ACM500 located in the safe area. This
interface can also provide connectivity to the ACM200 converter in the safe area. Alternatively, the
IND560x can be directly connected to an IND226x terminal acting as a remote display inside the
hazardous area. In this scenario, the IND226x must be equipped with the Interface-Remote option.
• The current loop interface provides one or two channels of communication designed to use a
copper wire cable. High speed transmitters and receivers are used to increase the throughput of
data. When combined with the ACM500 communication module and its options, this permits
remote (safe area) operation of COM2 and COM3 serial ports, Ethernet and PLC interfaces at
distances up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) from the IND560x terminal.
• When used with the ACM200 safe area communication module, this interface provides an
additional serial port (COM4 or COM5) at the same 300 meters (1000 ft.) distance from the
IND560x terminal.
• This interface can also be used to operate an IND560x or IND226x terminal as a remote
display to the IND560x. The remote terminal can be located up to 300 meters (1000 ft.)
distance from the IND560x terminal.
1.12.1.3. Discrete I/O
Discrete I/O interface options include both internal and remote I/O. A maximum of 12 inputs and 18
outputs can be supported through a total of three options (internal and external, combined).

manuals search engine
64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 1-15
• The internal discrete I/O option is available in three different combinations of active/passive
inputs and active/passive outputs. Both the inputs and outputs use solid state devices.
─ Active inputs and active outputs: The inputs are powered internally by the IND560x terminal
and are designed for use with simple switches within the hazardous area. The inputs are
not approved for direct connection to devices in the safe area - a remote ARM100 should
be used for this. The outputs are also powered internally by the IND560x terminal and
provide 12V switching at 50mA total. These outputs are intended for use with extremely low
power intrinsically safe piezo electric solenoids.
Note: The Active/Active I/O option is not available for use with the IND560x-PAB and
external NiMH battery pack.
─ Active inputs and passive outputs: The inputs are powered internally by the IND560x
terminal and are designed for use with simple switches within the hazardous area. The
inputs are not approved for direct connection to devices in the safe area - a remote
ARM100 should be used for this. Power to operate the outputs must be provided by an
external power supply and intrinsically safe barrier. Refer to the approval entity values for
restrictions and limitations.
─ Passive inputs and passive outputs: Power to operate both the inputs and outputs must be
provided by an external power supply and intrinsically safe barrier.
• Safe area remote I/O can be configured to communicate to an ARM100 device (refer to page 1-
19) using the ACM200 with the CL/RS-422/RS-485 option or the ACM500 configured with
Ethernet/COM2/COM3 option (refer to page 1-17 for additional details on the ACM500 and
page 1-20 for ACM200). One other possibility is to use COM1 on the IND560x main board.
This signal can be passed through an intrinsically safe barrier (ISB) and then through an RS-
232 to RS-485 converter, both located in the safe area. The ARM100 provides six dry-contact
outputs and four passive low voltage DC inputs. An external 12 - 24 volt DC supply is required
to operate the ARM100.
NOTE: The ARM100 is NOT approved for use inside hazardous classified areas. An ARM100
must be installed in the safe area only.
1.12.1.4. IND560x-PAB
NOTE: Due to space limitations and battery life limitations, the IND560x-PAB (Power Adapter
Board) can only be used with the Harsh/Analog version of the IND560x. The IND560x-PAB will
not work with any panel mount or IDNet models of the IND560x. The IND560x-PAB and
external NiMH battery pack will also not support the Active-Active I/O option.
The IND560x-PAB option serves as a voltage splitter for the IND560x’s external NiMH battery. The
IND560x-PAB takes in the single voltage source from the external NiMH battery and splits it into the
various voltages that are required for specific functions in the IND560x. The IND560x with PAB can
only be used with the external, 8Ah NiMH battery pack, part #(s) 64060625 and 64060627.
1.12.2. Software Applications

1.13. Safe Area Communication Options
1.13.1. ACM500 Communication Module and Accessories
Figure 1-6: ACM500 Module

1-18 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Introduction
When Ethernet access, additional serial ports, or a PLC interface is required, an ACM500
communication module must be connected to the IND560x. The ACM500, which must be located
in a non-hazardous area, receives data from the IND560x through the fiber optic interface or the
intrinsically safe current loop interface. The ACM500 provides expansion slots for an
Ethernet/COM2/COM3 option board and a single PLC option. Refer to the ACM500 Technical
Manual or Installation Manual for details.
The following options for the IND560x require the use of the ACM500 communication module in the
safe area:
• Ethernet/COM2/COM3
• Programmable Logic Control (PLC) interfaces
• Remote discrete I/O (in safe area) via ARM100 modules
1.13.2. Ethernet/COM2/COM3
The Ethernet port can be used for FTP transfer of tare and target tables and complete setup files. It
also provides a TCP/IP port to transmit demand templates, continuous data, for access to data via
the shared data server and to send email alerts when calibration expires or fails. This port can also
be used for backing up and restoring the terminal configuration, using the METTLER TOLEDO
InSite™ SL program.
COM2 provides RS-232 communication at rates from 300 to 115.2k baud. COM3 supports the
same baud rates and provides an RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 connection. COM3 can be used to
update the firmware of the IND560x using the InSite™ CSL program.
When using COM2 or COM3 serial ports in the ACM500, it is recommended to use a network
transmission baud rate of at least 9,600 Baud. Using COM2 or COM3 serial ports with network
transmission baud rates of 4,800 Baud or less may result in continuous data lagging behind real
time conditions, or a delayed response to on-demand data requests (e.g., SICS requests).
1.13.3. PLC Interfaces
The IND560x terminal requires the use of the ACM500 module in the safe area to provide a PLC
interface. Interfaces supported include Analog Output, A-B RIO, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP
and PROFIBUS DP.
Additional details on these interfaces can be found in the IND560 PLC Interface Manual on the
IND560x Documentation CD.
1.13.3.1. Analog Output
Analog Output refers to the representation of an internal system variable using a proportional
electrical signal. Analog Output can be used to transmit a measured value, such as the gross or net
weight or a rate. Another use for the Analog Output is as a control signal for some external device,
such as a control valve, where the amount of valve opening is proportional to the analog signal
commanding its operation. Such outputs are usually used to control the flow rate of material into or
out of a vessel.
Both 0-10 volt DC and 4-20 mA signals are provided. Only one signal can be used at a time.

64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 1-19
1.13.3.2. Allen-Bradley (A-B) RIO
The A-B RIO option enables data exchange by bi-directional communications using the Discrete
Data Transfer or Block Transfer mode. The terminal provides a communication exchange with the
PLC approximately 20 times per second utilizing the Allen-Bradley Discrete Data Transfer protocol.
This communication is a high-speed, real-time message interface between the terminal and the PLC
for process control. Division, integer, and floating point values are supported.
The A-B RIO interface also supports Block Transfer mode for transmission of larger amounts of
data.
1.13.3.3. DeviceNet
DeviceNet is an RS-485 based network utilizing CAN chip technology. The network can be
configured to run up to 500Kbits per second depending on cabling and distances. Messages are
limited to 8 un-fragmented bytes. The network is capable of supporting up to 64 nodes including
the master, commonly called the scanner.
1.13.3.4. EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP, short for "EtherNet Industrial Protocol," is an open industrial networking standard that
takes advantage of commercial, off-the-shelf EtherNet communication chips and physical media.
This networking standard supports both implicit messaging (real-time I/O messaging) and explicit
messaging (message exchange). The protocol is supported by ControlNet International (CI), the
Industrial Ethernet Association (IEA) and the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA).
1.13.3.5. Modbus TCP
Modbus/TCP is used to establish master-slave/client-server communication between intelligent
devices. It is an open standard network protocol, widely used in the industrial manufacturing
environment. The ModbusTCP protocol takes the Modbus instruction set and wraps TCP/IP around
it.
1.13.3.6. PROFIBUS DP
The IND560x Terminal communicates to a PROFIBUS-DP master according to DIN 19 245. The
PROFIBUS option consists of software that resides in the IND560x Terminal and a printed circuit
board that installs in the ACM500 communication module to implement the data exchange.
1.13.4. ARM100 Module
Figure 1-7: ARM100 Module

1-20 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Introduction
The ARM100 Remote Discrete I/O Module is designed to extend the control network of METTLER
TOLEDO industrial terminals. This high performance module provides four inputs and six drycontact relay outputs at a remote location from a compatible terminal or communication module.
Digital control information is communicated between the ARM100 and the terminal via an RS-485
communication link.
An external 10 – 32 VDC power supply is required to operate the ARM100 module. The ARM100 is
only approved for installation in areas classified at SAFE.
1.13.5. ACM200 Safe Area Communication Module
Figure 1-8: ACM200 Safe Area Communication Module
The ACM200 converter can be used to convert the intrinsically safe current loop information from
COM4 or COM5 of the IND560x terminal to an RS-232 signal inside the safe area. The ACM200
converter can be used to obtain demand or continuous RS-232 data from the IND560x or can
convert RS-232 signals in the safe area to intrinsically safe ASCII data and send to the IND560x.
For a CL20mA or RS-422 or RS-485 signal inside the safe area, the ACM200 configured with the
CL/RS-422/RS-485 option can be used.If the ACM500 is already connected to the IND560x
terminal, it is not possible to connect the ACM200 converter. This is because both devices require
dedicated use of the COM4 and COM5 ports of the IND560x terminal. The ACM200 is designed to
communicate to the IND560x terminal using a copper wire communication cable at distances up to
300 m (1000 ft).
1.14. Additional Accessories
Additional accessories include:
• InSite SL PC Configuration Tool
• Legacy, dual channel fiber optic converter (safe area) for RS-232 or 20mA CL
• Glass core or plastic fiber optic cable
• Various brackets for wall and column mounting of the harsh enclosure
1.14.1. InSite SL Configuration Tool
InSite™ SL is available to end users of IND560x terminals. The IND560x terminal can connect to a
PC running InSite™ SL via Ethernet or Serial to provide the following:
• Saving configuration information locally on the PC

clipboard library (MyData items), and template space usage display.
• Printing documentation of configuration for users’ records.
• Performing firmware upgrade services for the IND560x.
1.14.3. Legacy Fiber Optic Converters
The 0964-0043, -0058, -0059 and -0060 dual channel fiber optic converters can be used with
the IND560x terminal to provide one or two additional channels of bidirectional communication at
distances up to 300m (1000 ft). The converters provide either RS-232 or 20mA current loop
connectivity in the safe area, derived from the COM4 and COM5 ports of the terminal.
If the ACM500 is already connected to the IND560x terminal, it is not possible to connect the dual
channel fiber optic converter. This is because both devices require dedicated use of the COM4 and
COM5 ports of the IND560x terminal.
The IND560x and dual channel fiber optic converters are designed to use a hard clad silica fiber
optic cable, but plastic core fiber optic cable can be used on short cable runs of 40 m (130 ft) or
less.
1.15. Display and Keypad
The IND560x terminal has a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), 128 × 64 dot matrix graphic type with a

Introduction
The display provides a system line at the top of the display for system messages and data;
application area with weight display, legends, data entry, and other information in the middle; and
softkey labels (icons) across the bottom.
The system line shows system messages and any asynchronous errors. The middle portion of the
display is reserved for the weight display and/or SmartTrac display. Random data entry (e.g. tare or
target ID) is shown in the bottom of this area. The bottom of the display is reserved for showing the
graphic labels (icons) for the softkeys. Display positions for up to five softkey icons are provided.
To the right of the softkey icon area is a reserved space for a MORE UP ( ) or a MORE DOWN ( )
indicator. If present, these indicate additional softkey selections are available by pressing either the
UP or DOWN navigation keys. A total of 15 softkeys may be programmed, depending upon the
weighing options and terminal functions enabled. These are presented in three sets of five softkeys.
The softkey setup and key mapping capabilities of the terminal determine the positioning of the
softkeys and locations where they display.
Three dedicated scale function keys are located to the right of the display. These are used to zero or
tare the scale and to initiate a print.
The terminal’s 12-key numeric keypad is used to enter data and commands. The numeric keys
include a Clear key and a decimal point, and are located on the upper-right side of the terminal
front panel.
Five navigation keys are located below the three scale function keys. These keys enable the
operator to navigate through setup options in the menu tree and within setup and application
screens.
An On/Off power key is located at the lower right of the front panel. The On/Off power key is enabled
and disabled by a jumper on the main board.

 Understanding the Navigational Interface
 Home Screen
 Basic Functionality
2 Operation
2.1. Overview
This chapter provides information about navigation, basic functionality,
and report generation using the IND560x terminal.
Operation of the terminal depends on enabled functions and parameters
that are configured in setup as described in Chapter 3, Configuration.
Navigation and basic functionality, as well as basic report generation are
covered in the following sections.
2.2. Security
The IND560x supports the use of username/password for setup security at four levels. Administrator
An Administrator has unlimited access to all areas of the operating and setup system. There can be
multiple Administrator accounts. There is a Primary Administrator account, which can be changed
but never deleted. The terminal is pre-configured at the factory with the Primary Administrator
account with a username of “admin”. The factory default password is null (no password). The preconfigured username (admin) cannot be changed; the password can only be added or modified.
The unit as configured at the factory requires no login or password entry to enter the setup mode. All
functions of the terminal are available to all users until a password for the Primary Administrator
account is set up.
When the Metrology switch (SW1-1) is turned “on” (refer to the next section of this chapter) and a
region approval is selected in setup, all users with Administrator rights are reduced to the
Maintenance level. This is done to protect metrologically significant parameters that cannot be
changed when the terminal is approved.
Similarly, the metrology switch can also be used to prevent Administrator level users from
accessing metrology features even if the region approval is “None”.
Once a password is set up, be sure to remember the password. If the password is changed or
forgotten, access to the setup menu will not be available. Be sure to protect the password from
access by unauthorized personnel. The password provides access to the entire setup menu,
unless the metrology switch is placed in the approved position.
2.2.1. Maintenance
Access can be limited by configuring this security level as desired.

2-2 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Operation
2.2.2. Supervisor
Access can be limited by configuring this security level as desired.
2.2.3. Operator
One default operator account with a username of anonymous and password null (no password) is
provided. Sites with validation requirements might create many operator accounts, each with a
username and password entry requirement.
2.2.4. Password
If a password has been programmed for the Primary Administrator username in Setup, a security
challenge is presented when entering Setup and a username and password must be entered. The
user can enter a password at any security level supported by the User configuration in the User
setup.
The terminal is pre-configured at the factory to include an “anonymous” user account with a null
(blank) password. The default anonymous user record can be edited or deleted. The user can
increase to a higher level of security clearance by requesting a setup function and then meeting the
associated security challenge.
If a login fails, the display exits the login page and returns to the home position.
2.2.5. Metrology Switch
If the metrology switch (SW1-1) is placed in the approved position (On) access to the Scale branch
of setup and other metrologically significant areas is not permitted. The metrology switch can be
used to prevent Administrator level users from accessing metrology features even if the region
approval is “None”.
Selecting a specific region approval and turning “on” the Metrology switch specifically alters some
scale functions:
 If the approval is Canada, then the keyboard tare command carries out a rounded tare.
 If the approval is Canada, then the center of zero division is 0.2d. The default value for nonapproved mode is 0.25d.
 If the approval is OIML, then the power up zero range is +/- 10% and pushbutton zero range is
+/-2%. For non-approved mode, this range can be selected by the user.
 If the approval is Argentina, terminal functions are changed as follows:
 Access to the setup screens is prohibited while the metrology switch is engaged. If an
attempt is made to access the setup menu, a message is displayed that says “Access
denied. Scale is Approved.”
 All shared data server write ability via COM1 (serial) and Ethernet is disabled. Information
can still be read from shared data, but writing to shared data is not possible.
 The FTP server (both serial and Ethernet) can only read files from the terminal. It cannot
write anything to the terminal. Shared data field nf0101 will automatically be set to 2.

64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 2-3
 If SICS is selected as an assignment for a port, all SICS commands must be disabled.
When a SICS command is received, an “EL” response is returned.
 A preset tare from the front panel, from the tare table, received serially (for example 1.00T
via the CTPZ input assignment) or received from a PLC, can only be accepted if there is no
motion on the scale. If motion is detected, the terminal should wait for the programmed
stability timeout period and, if the motion continues, discard the request. The preset tare
feature will therefore operate just like the semi-automatic tare feature.
Access to the metrology switch may be sealed in conformity with local regulations in “legal-fortrade” applications. Figure 2-1 shows the location of the metrology switch.
Figure 2-1: Metrology Switch Location, Panel (left) and Harsh (right)
Refer to the Installation Manual, PCB Switch Settings for further information about SW1-1
and SW1-2 switch settings.
2.3. Display Operation
Key names and commands are identified in this manual by upper- and lower-case letters. Key
names, such as ENTER, are in all upper-case letters, and commands, such as “select,” are in
lower-case (unless they begin a sentence, in which case the first initial is upper-case). For
example:
“Press START...” means to press the START softkey .
“Select an option...” means to use the UP or DOWN navigation keys to select a setting, then
press ENTER.
2.3.1. Softkeys and Icons
Softkeys and application displays use graphic icons for identification. Table 2-1 shows graphic
icons and their functions, categorized by where they are used. Items with an asterisk (*) require a
supervisor level log-in or above to be in effect.

2.4.3. Scale Function Keys
Scale function keys (see Figure 2-2) are:
ZERO When the scale platform or weighbridge is empty, the terminal should
indicate zero. The gross zero reference is recorded during calibration. Press
the ZERO scale function key to capture a new gross zero reference point if
pushbutton zero is enabled in configuration and the weight is within the
zero range.
TARE Tare is the weight of an empty container. Tare is normally used to determine
the net weight of the contents of a container. Press the TARE scale function
key when an empty container is on the scale. The terminal then displays a
zero net weight. As the container is loaded, the terminal then displays the
net weight of the contents. Pushbutton tare must be enabled to use this key
in this manner.
When the empty weight of the container is a known value, enter the tare
weight using the numeric keys and then press the TARE scale function key.
The terminal will display the net weight of the contents of the container.
Keyboard tare must be enabled in order to use this key in this manner.
PRINT Press the PRINT scale function key to initiate a demand print of an assigned
print template. A serial or Ethernet print connection must be configured to
link a template or report to the selected serial or Ethernet port. When a print
command is issued, Printing appears in the system line for 5 seconds –
see Figure 2-9.

Operation
2.4.4. Alpha Keys
On some setup pages, softkeys function as alpha keys (see Figure 2-5) that are used to enter
alphabetic characters for setup parameters such as passwords.
Figure 2-5: Alpha Keys
The alpha keys are automatically displayed when the cursor is moved into a data entry box that
supports alpha entry. The first set of softkeys shown is upper-case letters (Figure 2-5). Three
additional sets of softkeys include lower-case letters and symbols. In each of these sets, a group of
four to six characters is shown per softkey.
Figure 2-6: Additional Character Sets
To enter a character, use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to move to the row of keys that shows the
group including the desired character. If the set of keys shown does not include the required
character, press the DOWN navigation key to view the next set. Press the DOWN navigation key
and UP navigation key as required until the set of keys shows the required character. The presence
of the MORE UP / MORE DOWN symbols to the right of the softkeys indicates that additional sets of
characters are available. Once the correct row is showing, press the softkey under the group of
characters that includes the required character.

At this point, the characters above the softkey will change to show one character per softkey (Figure
2-7).
Figure 2-7: One Letter Per Softkey
Now, press the softkey that corresponds to the desired character. Also note that the MORE DOWN
symbol is shown at the right of the softkeys. Press the DOWN navigation key to view the second
row of characters. This group will include an ESCAPE softkey (Figure 2-8). If the wrong group
of characters was selected, use this softkey to return to the character set selection screen.
Figure 2-8: ESC Character
Repeat this process until all alpha characters have been entered. The CLEAR key can be used to
delete unwanted characters in the entry box. The ESCAPE softkey on the symbol group of
softkeys (see Figure 2-6) exits the data entry process without accepting any of the new data typed.
The data in the entry field will revert to the original data (that was in the entry box before the new
entry was initiated).
Once desired alpha characters have been entered in appropriate fields on the screen, press the
ENTER key to accept the entries.
2.4.5. Numeric Keys
Use the terminal’s 12-key numeric keypad (see Figure 2-2) to enter data and commands.
To use numeric keys, position the cursor in the field (see Navigation Keys) and press the numeric
keys to enter the appropriate data. Press the DECIMAL key to enter decimal points where necessary.
The CLEAR key functions like a backspace key. Position the cursor at the end of data to be deleted
and press the CLEAR key. Press the CLEAR key once for each character to be deleted. When first
entering a data entry box, the previous entry will be in focus. Pressing CLEAR at this point will clear
the entire previous entry.

system compatibility with NiMH battery part # 64060625. Additional software parameters exist to
help extend the single charge life of the battery.
These battery-specific settings are found in the following locations within the terminal setup menu.
The settings can be addressed in the following order to ensure proper setup for external battery
compatibility.
2.6.2. Scale > Type
Load Cell parameters are shown only for IND560x analog main boards and only if scale type is
selected as Analog. The Load Cell parameter default values are 1 x 350 Ω. If scale type is set as
Remote, the number of cells is automatically set to 0.
These settings are shown in the Setup menu for all analog terminals whether support for the
battery has been enabled or not. However, only the harsh/analog model is physically capable
of supporting the external NiMH battery.
It is important to enter the correct values for the Load Cell parameters, as the current demand from
the load cells determines the switch off voltage set point of the external battery. Setting the Load Cell
parameters correctly helps to:
 Ensure that all the available capacity of the battery is being utilized
 Protect the battery pack from a deep discharge that will harm the NiMH cells and shorten the
lifespan of the pack
2.6.2.1. Terminal > Device > Battery Operation
This parameter is only shown in IND560x models with analog main boards. The default value is
Disabled. Setting this parameter to Enabled will trigger the IND560x to use the Load Cell
parameters established at Scale > Type. Enabling Battery Operation also unlocks an Auto Power Off
parameter elsewhere in the Terminal branch of the Setup menu.
2.6.2.2. Terminal > Display
Once the Battery Operation parameter has been set to Enabled, users can choose to activate an
auto-power off feature that will help to optimize single charge battery life. The Auto Off Timer
parameter monitors scale motion and keypad operation. If no keypad activity occurs within the
selected time value, the terminal automatically turns itself off. This auto-shutdown will occur with no
warning to the operator.
2.6.3. Recommendations for Battery Powered Systems
Battery powered systems of all types should always avoid unnecessary power consumption. The
following recommendations should be used whenever possible to prolong the single charge life and
long term performance of the METTLER TOLEDO NiMH battery pack (P/N 64060625).
2.6.3.1. IND560x System Hardware Considerations
 Use high impedance scale bases and load cells when possible. When considering only NiMH
battery single charge life, 1,000 Ohm load cells are preferred over 350 Ohm load cells. Single
charge battery life will increase as load cell impedance increases.

2-14 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Operation
 Only install options and connections that are required. If an option board has multiple
connections, only physically connect the ports that are required. (e.g. if only COM4 is required,
do not make a physical connection to COM5 also).
2.6.3.2. IND560x Software Considerations
 Enable Battery Operation at Terminal > Device > Battery Operation
 If feasible, enable the Auto Power Off setting at Terminal > Device > Auto Power Off
 If backlight is enabled, enable the Backlight Timeout setting found at Terminal > Device >
Display.
 Disable all unnecessary communications that might be configured at Communication >
Connections. This includes communications on COM4, COM5 or COM1.
2.6.3.3. General NiMH Battery Handling
 Recharge the NiMH battery as soon as possible after a “low battery” warning is seen on the
screen of the IND560x terminal.
 Rechargeable batteries self-discharge. To prevent the NiMH battery packs from experiencing
a damaging deep discharge, establish a quality control process to recharge them every
three months, even if not in use.
 Do not store or charge the NiMH battery packs in hot places. High temperatures increase
the rate of self-discharge.
2.6.3.4. Estimated Single Charge Battery Life
When users implement the recommendations listed above regarding IND560x hardware and
software, as well as the general NiMH battery handling recommendations, the estimated single
charge life of Mettler Toledo’s NiMH battery pack (P/N 64060625) in various IND560x applications
is shown in Table 2-3.
All estimates assume use of a new, freshly charged NiMH battery pack (NiMH batteries
experience up to 5-10% self-discharge in first 24 hours following charge.)
All estimates assume use at 20ºC
Approximate recharge time 6 is hours
500 recharge cycles is lifetime expectancy of NiMH battery pack P/N 64060625. Reduced
runtime will occur at the end of battery lifetime.

2.6.3.5. Low Battery Warnings and Battery Protection
When the battery voltage reaches a pre-defined value, a “Low Battery!” message will appear in
IND560x system information line, blinking at three second intervals. The terminal will continue to
operate for one hour or less (depending on system configuration and battery condition) after the
“Low Battery!” message appears. During this period, turn the terminal off and either remove and
charge its battery, or replace the battery with a fully-charged one.
Note: Performance of the NiMH battery will be reduced if it is allowed to discharge too deeply.
The low battery warning and shut-off functions are designed to protect the battery’s efficiency
and life-span.
If the shut-off voltage is reached before the battery is recharged or replaced, a message will appear
on screen – “ALARM – Low Battery! Power off is in process!”. This message will display for ten
seconds, after which the terminal will power off automatically.
2.6.4. Zero
The Zero function is used to set or reset the initial zero reference point of the IND560x. There are
three types of zero setting modes:
 Automatic Zero Maintenance
 Power-Up
 Pushbutton
2.6.4.1. Automatic Zero Maintenance
Automatic Zero Maintenance (AZM) enables the IND560x to compensate for the buildup of small
amounts of weight and track itself back to the center of zero. Within the AZM operating range
(programmable from 0.00 to 10.00 divisions), when the terminal is in a no motion condition, it
makes small adjustments to the current zero reading to drive the weight reading toward the true
center-of-zero. When the weight is outside of the programmed AZM range, this feature is not
functional.
2.6.4.2. Power-Up Zero
Power-Up Zero enables the IND560x terminal to capture a new zero reference point after power is
applied. If there is motion during a power-up zero capture function, the terminal will continue to
check for a no-motion condition until zero is captured.
Power-up zero can be disabled or enabled, and a range above and below calibrated zero can be
configured. The range is programmable from 0% to 100% of capacity and can include a positive
range and also a range below calibrated zero.

2-16 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Operation
2.6.4.3. Pushbutton Zero
The pushbutton (semi-automatic) zero function can be accomplished by pressing the ZERO
scale function key, programming a discrete input, a PLC command or serial command, or by an
application.
The range for all types of semi-automatic zero is selectable (0% to 100%) plus or minus from
either the calibrated zero point (if power-up zero is disabled) or from the initial zero setting point (if
power-up zero is enabled).
Remote initiation of the semi-automatic Zero command is possible via a discrete input, an ASCII ‘Z’
command sent serially (CPTZ and SICS), a command initiated by the PLC interface, or from an
application.
2.6.5. Tare
Tare is the weight of an empty container. A tare value subtracts from the gross weight
measurement, providing the computation of the net weight (material without the container). The tare
function can also be used to track the net amount of material being added to or removed from a
vessel or container. In this second case, the weight of the material in the container is included with
the tare weight of the container as tare. The display then reflects the net amount being added to or
removed from the vessel.
Tare types and associated operations available on the IND560x include:
 Pushbutton Tare  Tare Clear
 Keyboard Tare (Preset Tare) — Manual Clear
 Net Sign Correction — Auto Clear
 Auto Tare
2.6.5.1. Pushbutton Tare
Pushbutton tare can be configured in setup as enabled or disabled. When disabled, the TARE scale
function key cannot be used to obtain a tare.
If enabled, pressing the pushbutton TARE scale function key initiates a semi-automatic tare.
The IND560x will attempt to perform a tare process. If successful, the display changes to a zero net
weight indication and the previous weight on the scale is stored as the tare value. The net mode will
be indicated on the display.
Several conditions could inhibit the pushbutton tare function:
 Motion – Pushbutton tare cannot be taken when the scale is in motion. If motion is detected
when a pushbutton tare command is received, the IND560x will wait up to three seconds
for a no-motion condition. If a stable (no motion) weight condition occurs before the three
seconds expire, the pushbutton tare command is executed.
If there is still motion at the end of three seconds, the command is aborted and a “Tare
Failure–In Motion” error displays.
 

manuals search engine
64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 2-17
 Pushbutton Tare Disabled – If pushbutton tare is configured as disabled, the TARE scale
function key will not initiate a semi-automatic tare.
 Negative Gross Weight – Any pushbutton tare attempted when the gross weight is at or
below zero is ignored and a “Tare Failed–Too Small” error displays. Ensure that the gross
weight is above zero.
2.6.5.2. Keyboard Tare
A keyboard (preset) tare is a numeric tare that is entered manually through the numeric keypad,
received serially from a peripheral, or retrieved from the Tare Table memory. The preset tare value
cannot exceed the capacity of the scale. Data entered is interpreted to have the same units as the
current displayed value. Motion does not impact the entry of preset tare values.
Keyboard tare can be configured in setup as enabled or disabled. When disabled, the numeric
keypad and the TARE scale function key cannot be used to obtain a tare.
To enter a preset tare value manually, use the numeric keypad to enter the tare value (the data
entered will display above the softkey with a Data: label) and press the TARE scale function key
.
If configured in setup, remote equipment can enter a preset tare value using a serial command or
PLC command (Refer to Chapter 3, Configuration, the Communication section, Serial and PLC
setup, for further information).
If the preset tare is successful, the display changes to a net weight indication, and the entered
preset tare value is stored as the tare value in the Tare Table.
Several conditions could inhibit the preset tare function:
 Keyboard Tare Disabled – If keyboard tare is configured in setup as disabled, the numeric
keypad and the TARE scale function key cannot be used to obtain a tare.
 Over-Capacity or Under-Zero Conditions – Preset tare is not allowed when the weight
display indicates over capacity or under zero conditions. Any preset tare attempted when
the scale is over capacity is ignored and a “Tare Failed–Over Cap” error displays. Any
preset tare attempted when the weight display indicates an under zero condition is ignored
and a “Tare Failed–Too Small” error displays.
Preset tare can be entered in free format. If the entered value does not match the displayed weight
decimal point location or display interval, the entered tare value is rounded to the nearest display
interval and the decimal point adjusted to match the gross weight. The rounding method is that 0.5
or more of a display interval (d) is increased to the next display interval and 0.49 or less of a
display interval is decreased to the next lower display interval.
When entering a preset tare value less than 1.0, the operator can enter the data without the leading
zero (left of the decimal point), but all subsequent display, storage, or printing of this value will
include the leading zero. For example, a preset tare entry of .05 will display as 0.05.
If a preset tare has already been established and another preset tare is entered, the second preset
tare replaces the previous value (it does not add to the previous value). The replacement tare can
be larger or smaller than the original tare value.

2-18 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Operation
2.6.5.3. Tare Table
The IND560x terminal contains a tare table with 25 records for storing tare weights that can be
recalled by the operator, instead of manually entering them for each transaction. This is especially
useful when certain tare values are used repeatedly.
A 20 character description can be included for each record. This can be used to help distinguish
one tare record from another. Each tare record in the tare table also contains a totalization field.
When totalization is enabled for the tare table, each time a transaction is completed using a specific
tare ID, the selected weight value (gross or net weight) will be added to the total and the
corresponding counter will be incremented by one.
A tare memory can be recalled by either picking from a list of all available records or if the ID for the
tare value is know, it can be “quick” accessed (refer to the Quick Access section, below). A printed
report of the records in the Tare Table is also available.
2.6.5.4. Net Sign Correction
Net sign correction enables the terminal to be used for both shipping (inbound empty) and
receiving (inbound loaded) operations. Net sign correction can be either disabled or enabled on the
IND560x. Refer to Chapter 3, Configuration, the Scale section, for further information about
disabling and enabling net sign correction.
If net sign correction is disabled in setup, any stored weight value in the tare register is assumed to
be a tare regardless of the gross weight present on the scale at the time of the final transaction and
net values can be negative.
If net sign correction is enabled, the terminal will switch the gross weight and tare weight fields
when necessary, so that the larger weight is the gross weight, the smaller weight is the tare weight,
and the difference is always a positive net weight. Net sign correction affects the display, stored
data, weight recall, and printed data.
Net sign correction will operate with pushbutton tare, preset tare, or tare memories. An example of
weight values with and without net sign correction is shown in Table 2-4. In this example, the tare
register value is 53 kg and the live weight on the scale is 16 kg.
Table 2-4: Weight Values With and Without Net Sign Correction
Net Sign Correction
Printed and Displayed Disabled Enabled
Gross 16 kg 53 kg
Tare 53 kg 16 kg
Net 37 kg 37 kg
 When net sign correction is enabled, the tare weight field in the recall display will be
labeled with the letter “M” to indicate “Memory” instead of “T” or “PT”.

64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 2-19
2.6.5.5. Auto Tare
The IND560x can be configured so that tare is automatically taken (auto tare) after the weight on
the scale exceeds a programmed tare threshold weight. Auto tare can be configured in setup as
enabled or disabled. When auto tare is enabled, the display changes to a zero net weight indication
after the weight exceeds the threshold value. The previous weight on the scale is stored in the Alibi
Table as the tare value. Auto tare operations involve:
 Tare Threshold Weight – When weight on the scale platform exceeds the tare threshold
value, the terminal automatically tares.
 Reset Threshold Weight – The reset threshold weight must be less than the tare threshold
weight. When the weight on the scale platform falls below the reset threshold value, such
as when a load has been removed, the terminal automatically resets the auto tare trigger.
 Motion Check – A motion check is provided to control the re-arming of the auto tare
function. If disabled, the auto tare trigger will be reset as soon as the weight falls below the
reset value. If enabled, the weight must settle to no-motion below the reset threshold before
the next auto tare can be initiated.
Several conditions could inhibit the auto tare function:
 Motion – Auto tare cannot be taken when the scale is in motion. If motion is detected after
the weight on the scale exceeds a preset tare threshold weight, the IND560x will wait for a
no-motion condition. If a stable (no motion) weight condition occurs within three seconds,
the auto tare command is executed.
 Auto Tare Disabled – Auto tare can be configured in setup as enabled or disabled.
2.6.5.6. Clearing Tare
Tare values can be cleared manually or automatically.
2.6.5.6.1. Manual Clear
Manually clear tare values by pressing the CLEAR key on the numeric keypad when the
IND560x is in the net mode and has completed the weighing operation. Motion on the scale will
not impact a manual clear.
If configured in setup, pressing the ZERO scale function key will first clear the tare, then issue
a zero command (Refer to Chapter 3, Configuration, the Scale section, Auto Clear).
2.6.5.6.2. Auto Clear
The IND560x can be configured to clear tare automatically when the weight returns to a value
below a programmable threshold, or when a print command is issued. Once the tare is cleared, the
display returns to the gross weighing mode.
Auto clear is disabled or enabled in setup. If auto clear is enabled the following parameters,
configured in setup, affect the auto clear operation:
 Clear Threshold Weight – The clear threshold weight is the gross weight value below
which the IND560x will automatically clear a tare after settling to a value above this
threshold value.

2-20 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Operation
 Motion Check – A motion check is provided to control the automatic clearing of tare. If the
motion check is disabled, the tare value is cleared as soon as the weight drops below the
threshold weight (auto clear threshold), regardless of the motion status.
If the motion check is enabled, after meeting the requirements for weight value above and
then below the threshold weight (auto clear threshold), the IND560x waits for a no-motion
condition before automatically clearing the tare.
 Clear After Print – If enabled, tare is automatically cleared and the scale returned to the
gross mode after data has been transmitted by pressing the PRINT scale function key
or from a remote source.
Refer to Chapter 3, Configuration, the Scale section, Auto Clear for further information about
configuring auto clear.
2.6.6. Unit Switching
In order to support locations and applications that utilize multiple measurement units, the IND560x
supports unit switching. The UNIT SWITCHING softkey enables switching between primary units
(the main unit of measure) and alternate units (second or third units).
When the UNIT SWITCHING softkey is pressed, the display changes from the primary unit to the
second unit. When this softkey is pressed again, the display switches to the third unit (if one has
been programmed) or returns to the primary unit. Each subsequent time the UNIT SWITCHING
softkey is pressed the IND560x continues to switch the unit through the same sequence.
When units are switched, the units value changes to the correspondingly selected units, and the
conversion of the display value occurs. The display division changes to an equivalent weight value
in the switched unit (for example, from 0.02 lb to 0.01 kg) and the decimal location switches to
accommodate the conversion.
When switching units, the capacity of the converted units is dictated by the original number of
divisions established in the capacity and increments area of setup. In some situations, this may
reduce the capacity of the terminal when converting to second or third units.
2.6.7. Expand By 10
The EXPAND BY 10 softkey is used to increase the selected weight display resolution by one
additional digit. For example, a weight display of 40.96 could increase by one additional digit to
display as 40.958. The Expand By Ten mode is indicated on the display by x10, which displays
below the weight display. When the EXPAND BY TEN softkey is pressed again, the display
reverts to the normal display of weight.
If programmed as approved with the metrology switch (SW1-1) ON, the Expand By Ten mode is
displayed for five seconds then automatically returns to normal resolution. Printing is disabled
when the weight is expanded and the terminal is programmed as approved.

64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 2-21
2.6.8. Print
The print function (demand print) can be initiated by pressing the PRINT function key on the
main keyboard, by using custom print trigger softkeys or by automatic print settings. Demand
printing of data may also be initiated as part of a particular sequence of operation or special
application software. A ‘Printing’ system message (visible in Figure 2-9) appears for 5 seconds
when the terminal is carrying out a print command.
2.6.8.1. Print Interlock
Print Interlock is designed to enforce a single print output per transaction. Print Interlock can be
disabled or enabled. If enabled, the print command is ignored until the measured gross weight
exceeds the print interlock threshold. After the first print command is executed, subsequent print
commands are ignored until the gross weight indication falls below the print interlock reset
threshold. If a print command is blocked by print Interlock, a synchronous “2nd Print Prohibited”
error is generated and a “Print Not Ready” message appears in the system line.
2.6.8.2. Automatic Print
Automatic initiation of a demand print occurs after the gross weight exceeds the minimum threshold
and there is no motion on the scale. After initiation, the gross weight must return below the reset
threshold before a subsequent automatic print can occur.
Automatic print may be disabled or enabled. Automatic print can be triggered and reset by weight
exceeding thresholds or by weight deviation from a previously stable reading.
2.6.8.3. Repeat Print
The Repeat Print softkey permits the output of the most recent Demand Print or a Custom Print
from an application, to be printed again with a DUPLICATE header or footer to distinguish it from the
original print.
To enable the Repeat Print function, simply add the Repeat Print softkey to the Home Page.
Pressing this softkey will initiate a repeat print of the last Demand Print connection listed in the
assignments found in Setup at Communication > Connections.
An output template can be flagged with a “DUPLICATE” header or footer to indicate that the data in
the output template was generated as a repeat of a previous communication.
2.6.8.4. Custom Print Trigger
The three custom print triggers available in the IND560x function like the standard
demand print, except that they will not trigger alibi logging, totalization or transaction counter
update.
NOTE: This is a change in functionality introduced in v4.03 firmware. It affects how the IND560
handles print templates containing metrologically sensitive data.
With firmware versions 3.04 and earlier, the intended use of custom print triggers was simply to
transmit non-metrological data from the terminal. Over the life of the IND560, it became apparent
that custom print triggers were being used to transmit metrologically sensitive information such as
weight data. However, in all firmware versions prior to v4.03, the custom print triggers were not

2-22 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Operation
subject to the same types of validity checks that the standard demand print was. Custom print
triggers have historically been able to transmit metrologically sensitive weight data even under such
circumstances as motion, over capacity, etc.
In terminals using v4.03 firmware, templates transmitted by a custom print trigger are evaluated for
the following shared data types that indicate if the template contains metrologically sensitive scale
information: ce, cs, tz, wk, wm, ws, wt. If the template includes any of these shared data fields, the
following statuses are checked:
 Power Up Zero Not Captured
 Over Capacity
 Under Zero
 Data not OK
 Times 10 (x10) is enabled and terminal is in legal-for-trade mode
 Minimum print threshold not reached between print requests
 Print Interlock condition not met
 Motion
In v.4.03 firmware, except for motion each of these causes an immediate error. If there is motion,
the terminal waits for the motion timeout period, and either prints (if stability is achieved) or
displays an error.
2.6.9. MinWeigh
Certain industries such as pharmaceutical and food require a guarantee that the weighing
equipment selected for a particular measurement is adequate for the task. One way to ensure that
appropriate weighing equipment is selected is by the creation and use of a minimum weighment
value (MinWeigh), below which a particular piece of weighing equipment cannot be used.
When the MinWeigh function is enabled, the MINWEIGH softkey can be pressed to initiate the
MinWeigh function, which compares the current net weight with the programmed MinWeigh value.
If the net weight is greater than or equal to MinWeigh, all equipment functions behave normally. If
the absolute value of the net weight is less than MinWeigh, the weight display includes a flashing
MinWeigh symbol to the left of the weight. If the user attempts to record the weight while in this
condition, the printout will include an asterisk ().
For specific step-by-step instructions on how to set up MinWeigh, Refer to Chapter 3, Configuration,
Scale, MinWeigh.
2.6.10. Information Recall
Press the INFORMATION RECALL softkey to access the recall screen where the softkeys shown
below appear:
Weight Recall Displays the Gross, Tare, and Net active weight readings for the scale.

manuals search engine
64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 2-23
System Information Displays system information, including the model and serial number,
Terminal ID #1, Terminal ID #2, Terminal ID #3, and software and
hardware information. This ID information is entered in the Setup mode
(Refer to the Chapter 3, Configuration, Terminal, Device, for more
information about entering Terminal ID information).
Metrology Recall Displays the terminal metrology control number (MCN), whether the
terminal is programmed as approved or not, and the last calibration time
and date. On the high-precision IDNet version, the Ident Code (calibration
tracking) is also displayed.
Totals Recall Displays the sub-total and grand-total transaction count and total weight
for the terminal. Press the CLEAR SUBTOTAL softkey to clear the subtotal amounts. Press the CLEAR softkey to clear both the grand-total
and sub-total amounts. Press the PRINT softkey to print a report of
the totals.
Notes: If either Clear Total or Clear Subtotal After Print is enabled in setup,
these values will clear after printing.
Table clear and print functions are accessible only to users with
Supervisor level log-in and above.
2.6.11. Target Comparison
Target comparison is used to compare either the gross or net weight on the scale to a
predetermined target value. This feature can be useful in both automatic and manual processes. As
an example, an automatic filling system using target comparison could provide a Start signal to the
IND560x and the IND560x could control the feeder system to fill a container to a desired target.
An example of a manual process could be a checkweighing station where an operator is checking
net weight of packages. The IND560x can use its target comparison feature to provide a bright Over
- OK - Under indication to help the operator determine if the weight of each package is acceptable
or not compared to an ideal weight.
Target (setpoint) comparison is most often used in two types of applications:
Material transfer applications – Requires that a control device deactivate when a target value
is achieved
Over/Under applications – Classify a load placed on the scale platform as above or below the
target value or within the target tolerance range
The IND560x target comparison rate (for analog load cell scales) is 50 comparisons per second.
The comparison rate for high precision IDNet bases is dependent upon the module in the base.
Refer to Chapter 3, Configuration, the Application section, Memory, Target Table and Operation,
Target for further information about configuring parameters for target comparison operations.
2.6.11.1. Material Transfer Applications
If the target comparison of the IND560x will be used to control the flow of material, the application
can be classified as a Material Transfer application. These types of applications are usually
automated but can also be manual. A single or two-speed feeding system is used to either add

2-24 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Operation
weight to or remove weight from the scale. The terminal monitors the change in weight and
compares it to a previously entered target and other control parameters.
The following definitions explain some terms used in Material Transfer applications:
Abort After a target comparison process has been paused, it can be totally stopped by
pressing the Abort softkey under the Target Control softkey or by triggering
a Target Pause/Abort discrete input. If abort is selected, the target comparison
process is aborted.
Coincidence
Outputs
A coincidence output is always active and does not require a start or stop signal. If
the weight on the scale is below the target minus the spill value, the outputs are “on”.
If the weight is above the target minus the spill value, the outputs are “off”. This type
of output typically requires external logic to provide the required control for feeding
systems.
Concurrent
Outputs
This describes the operation of the feed output in a 2-speed feeding system. If the
feeder type is programmed as concurrent, the feed output will turn on when the fast
feed output turns on and continue to operate until the weight reaches the target minus
the spill value. Both the fast feed output and the feed output are active at the
beginning of a target comparison. It is the opposite of independent outputs.
Fast Feed Output This refers to the physical output connection that is used for the faster feed in a 2-
speed feeding system. This output is not used in a single speed feeding system.
Feed Output This refers to the physical output connection that is used for the slower feed in a 2-
speed feeding system or the only feed output in a single speed feeding system.
Fine Feed The value entered for the amount of material that will be fed in the slower rate of feed
in a 2-speed feeding system. This value and the spill value are subtracted from the
target to determine the point that the fast feed output turns off.
Independent
Outputs
This describes the operation of the feed output in a 2-speed feeding system. If the
feeder type is programmed as independent, the feed output does not turn on until the
fast feed output turns off. Only one feeder speed is active at a time. It is the opposite
of concurrent outputs.
Latched Outputs Latched outputs turn off at the target weight minus the spill value and remain off
(regardless of additional weight changes) until a “start” signal is received. These
types of outputs do not usually require external logic to perform standard weigh-in or
weigh-out sequences.
Material Transfer
Mode
The target comparison mode that provides control for delivering a measured amount
of material from one container or vessel to another. The transfer can apply to material
entering or leaving a container or vessel. It includes the traditional terms such as
weigh-in, weigh-out, filling, and dosing.
Pause A pause function is provided in target comparison control in case a target
comparison must be temporarily paused. This can be done by pressing the Pause
softkey under the Target Control softkey or by triggering a discrete input
programmed as Target Pause/Abort. When paused, power is removed from the Feed
and Fast Feed (if used) discrete outputs. After a target comparison has been paused,
the process can either be resumed or aborted.
Resume After a target comparison process has been paused, it may be resumed by pressing
the Resume softkey or by triggering a discrete input programmed as Target
Start/Resume. When a target comparison is resumed, it continues to use the original
target values.

64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 2-25
Spill The amount of material that will be added (on a weigh-in) or removed (on a weighout) from the scale after the final feed is turned off. In a weigh-in process, this is the
material in suspension that will still fall onto the scale when the feed is turned off.
This value is subtracted from the target value to determine when the feed output turns
off.
Start When using latched targets, the default condition is with the latch set or in the “off”
condition. To turn any outputs “on”, a start signal is required. This could be the Start
softkey , a discrete input programmed as Target Start/Resume, or via the Target
Control softkey .
Target The target is the weight value that is the end goal of the material transfer process. If a
container should be filled with 10 kg of material, the target value is 10 kg.
Tolerance The weight range above and below the target value that will be acceptable as an “in
tolerance” target comparison. The tolerance can either be entered as a weight
deviation from the target or a percentage deviation from the target depending upon
setup.
2.6.11.2. Target Control
Two different levels of target control are provided by the terminal for the Material Transfer mode.
Latching outputs must be enabled to utilize either type of automated control. For simple
applications, only the START softkey is needed to begin the target comparison process. No
other control is provided. The comparison runs to completion then the latch sets the outputs FALSE
until the START softkey is pressed the next time.
For those applications where more control is needed for an occasional pause or to abort a
comparison process, the TARGET CONTROL softkey is used. Pressing the TARGET CONTROL
softkey provides a dedicated display for the target comparison with the comparison status and
appropriate softkeys shown. Possible status modes are “Ready”, “Running” or “Paused”. The
appropriate control softkeys include START , PAUSE and STOP .An example of each
target control display is shown in Figure 2-10, Figure 2-11 and Figure 2-12.

2.6.11.3. Over/Under Applications
If the target comparison of the IND560x will be used to checkweigh the weight of a product, the
application can be classified as an Over/Under application. These types of applications are usually
manual processes but can also be automated. The SmartTrac display indicates the classification of
the weight placed on the scale and discrete I/O can be used to trigger external lights or other
controls. The terminal compares the current weight to a previously entered target with tolerance
values or to zone limits and indicates the results. The following definitions will explain some terms
used in Over/Under applications. The following definitions apply to over/under applications:
Over Limit If a tolerance mode of “Weight value” is selected in setup, the IND560x does not
require the entry of a target value. In this mode, only the upper and lower limits for
the OK zone are entered. When programmed for this mode, the over limit value is
the maximum weight that will be classified as OK. Any weight above than this value
will be classified as Over.
Over/Under Mode The target comparison mode that provides three zone classifications for weight
placed on the scale. The classification can be Under if the weight is below the target
minus the -tolerance, OK if within the tolerance range or Over if the weight is above
the target plus the +tolerance.
Target The target is the ideal weight value for the product being tested. If a container should
weigh exactly 10 kg, the target value is 10 kg.
Tolerance The weight range above and below the target value that will be acceptable as “OK”
in the target comparison. The tolerance can either be entered as a weight deviation
from the target, a percentage deviation from the target or as absolute weight (zone
edges) depending upon setup.

Under Limit If a tolerance mode of “Weight value” is selected in setup, the IND560x does not
require the entry of a target value. In this mode, only the upper and lower limits for
the OK zone are entered. When programmed for this mode, the under limit value is
the minimum weight that will be classified as OK. Any weight below than this value
will be classified as Under.
Zones The IND560x provides 3 different classifications or “zones” in the Over/Under mode.
The zones are Under, OK and Over.
2.6.11.4. Target Comparison Parameter Entry
To enter target comparison parameters, either directly edit the active records or load them with data
from a record in the Target Table.
2.6.11.4.1. Direct Editing of Active Records
To directly edit the active record:
1. Press the TARGET softkey . (Refer to Chapter 3, Configuration, the Terminal section,
Softkeys, for information about how to setup softkey display.) The Active Values screen

2.6.11.4.2. Loading Records from the Target Table
The TARGET MEMORY softkey can be used in two ways to load records from the Target Table:
Quick Access and List Selection.
Quick Access to Records
Use the Quick Recall mode when the ID of the Target Table record to be loaded is known. Use the
numeric keypad to enter the ID and then press the TARGET MEMORY softkey to load the record.

2-28 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Operation
If the record is available, the data is loaded. If the record is not found, an “ID not found” error
displays.
List Selection
Use the List Selection mode when the ID of the Target Table record is unknown. To use the List
Selection mode:
1. Press the TARGET MEMORY softkey without any preceding data entry. The Target Search
screen displays.
2. Enter any search restrictions required or leave selections as they are to retrieve all records.
3. Press the SEARCH softkey to view the selected records in the table.
4. Use the UP and DOWN navigation keys to scroll through the list until the desired record is
highlighted.
5. Press the OK softkey to load the selected record from the list.
6. Press the ESCAPE softkey to return to the weighing operation screen without loading the
record.
Record Selection Using Shared Data
Alternatively, the Shared Data server can be used to activate target records stored in the Target
Table. Refer to the Shared Data Reference found on the documentation CD for specific instructions.
Target Units
If second and/or third units are established in the IND560x, target records that utilize either second
or third units can be retrieved from the Target Table into Active Target status. The IND560x will
convert the retrieved record into active units when the record is recalled. Pressing the TARGET
softkey will show the original units as recalled from the Target Table.
If an attempt is made to retrieve a record from the Target Table that does not use primary, second or
third units, a “Units Mis-match” error will display indicating that record recall was unsuccessful.
2.6.12. Comparators
Comparators are simple targets, five of which can be configured in setup. They are controlled either
by coincidence or by comparison with a range. The source for comparison can be the Gross
Weight, Displayed Weight, Rate or assigned by a custom TaskExpert application. When assigned to
the home screen, the Comparator softkey permits direct access to the Comparators. This
screen displays each Comparator’s ID, Description, Limit, Unit, High Limit (if applicable) and Active
operator. Only the limit value/s can be edited. To edit parameters other than limits, the Comparator
configuration screen must be accessed in setup.
To access a comparator’s limit editing page directly from the home screen, press the ID number of
the Comparator, then the Comparator softkey. If the ID number is not known, press the Comparator
softkey , use the UP/DOWN keys to select the desired Comparator from the list, and press the
Edit softkey .
For range comparators, the High Limit value must always be higher than the Limit value.

manuals search engine
64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 2-29
When the Active value is <, <=, =, >= or >, the selected source is compared to a target weight.
When the Active value is within (>_ _<) or outside (_< >_) a range, the selected source is
compared to a range defined by the Limit and High Limit values.
2.6.12.1. Using Comparators
To use a Comparator, it must be assigned to a discrete output.
2.6.12.1.1. Target Value Comparators
In this case, the output will be triggered depending on the Active setting. For example, if the Active
operator is <= (less than or equal to) and the Limit is 1000 kg, the output will turn OFF when the
measured value reaches 1000 kg.
2.6.12.1.2. Range Comparators
In the case of a Range mode Comparator, the Limit value sets the lower of the two rates that define
the range, within or outside (depending on the operator) which the output is active. For example, if
the Active operator is Within (>_ _<), the Limit is 3.0 kg/sec and the High Limit is 8 kg/sec, the
output will be active provided the rate remains between 3 and 8 kg/sec. If the rate falls below 3 or
exceeds 8 kg/sec, the output will turn OFF.
Note that the Rate value configured in setup at Scale > Rate permits weight and time units
to be defined, together with the period between measurements and the number of
measurements to average to generate the output value.
If the weight information in the terminal becomes invalid, the Rate display will show 0.000.
A Range Comparator can also use displayed or gross weight as its source. For example, if
displayed weight (possibly a net value, allowing for the weight of a hopper) is the source, the
Active operator is Outside, and the Limit and High Limit are 1000 kg and 1500 kg respectively, the
output will remain active as long as the source value is below 1000 kg. In this case a large
enough value for the High Limit should be set to ensure that, once the Limit is reached and the
output turned off, there is not sufficient spill to reach the High Limit and reactivate the output.
2.6.13. ID
The ID function provides a convenient and simple way to ensure that a specific sequence of
operation is carried out the same way each time. Each step can include an on-screen message that
instructs the operator to perform an action, or a prompt asking the operator to enter some
information. These steps may include data entry (using the numeric keypad, alphanumeric keys, or
some other input such as a barcode scanner) and actions (such as placing a package on the
scale, taking a tare, or printing a ticket for the transaction). When a step is completed, pressing the
ENTER key moves to the next one.
As many as 20 steps may be programmed, and the sequence can be triggered in one of two ways:
 Manually, using the ID softkey
 Automatically, by threshold and reset weight readings from the scale
If the sequence is triggered manually, it may be programmed to loop, repeating all steps until either
the EXIT softkey is pressed, or an ESC softkey is pressed while an alphanumeric entry
field is selected.

2-30 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Operation
When ID mode is set to function automatically, placing on the scale a weight that exceeds a preconfigured threshold value initiates the sequence. When all the steps have been performed and the
weight is removed, the reading from the scale falls below a reset value. At this point the terminal is
ready to begin the next ID sequence.
For details on ID mode configuration, refer to Chapter 3, Configuration.
2.6.14. SmartTrac™
SmartTrac is a graphical display visualization of either the gross or net weight as selected in setup.
SmartTrac on the IND560x uses a bar graph visualization type for Material Transfer mode and a
three-zone graphic for Over/Under mode.
2.6.14.1. Material Transfer Mode
The operator adds material until the measured value is within an acceptable tolerance limit.
Normally an operator will add material quickly when the container is not nearly full and more
slowly as the target value approaches.
The SmartTrac display may be configured in setup as Small, Medium or Large. Each size provides
different target and weight information on the display. Figure 2-13 shows the small size, Figure
2-14 shows the medium size, and Figure 2-15 shows the large size.

Figure 2-15: Material Transfer SmartTrac, Large
While the bar graph display appears to be one continuous bar graph, it can actually be broken into
four separate sections or ranges. Depending upon the target and tolerance values used, there could
be one, two, or three speeds at which these graphical sections are filled in. Figure 2-16 illustrates
the ranges.
Figure 2-16: SmartTrac Bar Graph Display Ranges
2.6.14.1.1. Under Tolerance
The Under Tolerance range is labeled “A” in Figure 2-16. This range represents the amount of
material from 10% of the target value to the target minus the negative tolerance value. The bar
graph begins to populate the “A” range when more than 10% of the target has been added. Until
reaching the 10% point, no fill is shown.
2.6.14.1.2. Acceptable Under Tolerance
Region B in Figure 2-16 represents the zone of acceptable tolerance below the target value.
2.6.14.1.3. On Target
When the measured value exactly equals the target value an unfilled triangle indication displays
(see Figure 2-17).

enough that the number of dot columns required for display exceeds the number available, the
display saturates and further increases in the measured value do not affect it.
2.6.14.2. Over/Under Mode
There are three sizes of Over/Under SmartTrac selectable in setup. Each size provides different target
and weight information on the display. Figure 2-18 shows the small size, Figure 2-19 shows the
medium size, and Figure 2-20 shows the large size. Note that Figure 2-18 shows a composite
display with under, OK and over graphics displayed simultaneously.

2.6.14.2.2. Under Zone
The Under zone is shown in Figure 2-18 as the symbol to the left and also in Figure 2-19. This
zone classification is shown when the weight on the scale is greater than 10% of the target but less
than the target value minus the -tolerance value. If a discrete output has been assigned to the Under
Zone, that output will be “on” when the weight is in this zone.
2.6.14.2.3. OK Zone
When the weight on the scale is between the target minus the -tolerance and the target plus the
+tolerance, the OK symbol is shown. This symbol is the same symbol for all sizes of SmartTrac
and shown in Figure 2-18 as the center symbol. If a discrete output has been assigned as
Tolerance - OK, that output will be “on” when the weight is in this zone.
2.6.14.2.4. Over Zone
The Over zone is shown in Figure 2-18 as the symbol to the right and also in Figure 2-20. This
zone classification is shown when the weight on the scale is greater than the target value plus the
+tolerance value. If a discrete output has been assigned to the Over Zone that output will be “on”
when the weight is in this zone.
2.6.15. Time and Date
Time and date are used for reporting, error and transaction log timestamps, and triggering service
events. The TIME & DATE softkey enables access to the Set Time & Date screen where the
user can set the time and date, including the hours, minutes, day, month, and year. When the time
is set, seconds are set to 0.
Although the format for the time and date can be selected according to local preferences, the use of
a timestamp in log files is not selectable. Timestamp formats are always fixed as:
Date: YYYY/MM/DD (for example, July 23, 2005 becomes the fixed format date 2005/07/23)
Time: HH:MM:SS stored in 24 hour format (for example, 10:01:22 PM becomes the fixed format
time 22:01:22)
2.6.16. Reports
Reports may be generated, viewed, and printed from database tables including:
 Alibi Memory
 Tare Table
 Target Table
The REPORTS softkey must display on the operational screens to generate table reports.
Otherwise, table reports can only be generated from within setup.
To generate a report:
1. Press the REPORTS softkey . The Reports screen (Figure 2-21) displays.

2.6.17. Calibration Test
The IND560x terminal provides a programmable Calibration Test sequence that can contain up to
25 individual steps. The Calibration Test is designed to lead the tester through a set of
predetermined steps and compare the terminal calibration with known test weights.
The test is accessed by pressing the CALIBRATION TEST softkey on the home page. A screen
displays where the name of the tester can be recorded and the serial number and capacity of each
of the test weights used can be entered. This provides a traceable record for the calibration test.
The calibration test is started by pressing the START softkey . A display is shown that provides
the active scale weight, the target and tolerance weight values, and two lines of instructions (as to
where to place the weights). When the tester completes these instructions, he or she presses the OK
softkey and the terminal compares the actual weight on the scale to the programmed target
weight for this step. If the comparison passes, the test continues to the next step. If it fails, a
message displays that indicates a failure. After acknowledging the error, the tester can abort the
test, retest this step, or skip this step knowing that it failed.
At the end of the complete test, a print can be initiated that prints all the data of the calibration test.
A full description of the calibration test can be found in Chapter 3, Configuration, Maintenance,
Configure/View, Calibration Test.
2.6.18. CalFree™
The IND560x terminal provides a method to calibrate a scale without using test weights. This is
based on manual entry of capacity and performance data from the load cell or load cell platform.
This method of calibration can be used for initial check-out and testing of systems or when a large

2.9. Remote Display
When properly configured, the IND560x can function as a remote display for another Mettler Toledo
terminal capable of handling Mettler Toledo Continuous Output.
If the Remote IND560x will be used to issue simple commands to another terminal (referred to as
the Master terminal), the Master must also be able to accept Command Inputs (CPTZ).
IMPORTANT: Proper barriers or approved Mettler Toledo communication modules are required
for safe installation and transmission of signals. Please refer to the Installation Manual or
METTLER TOLEDO control drawing 72191600 for specific instrument properties and equipment
guidelines.
2.10. Automatic Reconnection to ACM500 Communication
Module
The communication protocol between the IND560x and the ACM500 requires that the ACM500 be
powered up first. If the ACM500 experiences a power cycle, the message shown in Figure 2-24 will
display. In the past when this occurred, users were required to acknowledge this pop-up message
by pressing the ENTER key. Users were then further required to manually power cycle the IND560x
to re-establish communication between the terminal and the ACM500.
Figure 2-24: ACM500 COM Error Message
A new setting in v3.04 firmware and higher provides the user with two options to re-establish
communication automatically in the event of an ACM500 power loss. In setup, Communication >
Connections includes a new setting called Reconnect Mode. Available settings include Manual and
Automatic.
2.10.1.1. Manual
When Manual is selected, the operator will be presented with two options when the ACM500
communication error (Figure 2-24) is shown on-screen. Pressing ESC will acknowledge and clear
the error message, but no further action will be taken by the IND560x terminal. If OK is pressed, the
error message is acknowledged and the IND560x will complete a power cycle in order to reestablish communication with the ACM500.

Instead, once the IND560x detects that the ACM500 is back on line, the IND560x will automatically
power cycle itself.
If the IND560x is performing a material transfer cycle, after the power cycle the terminal will re-start
with the cycle paused. The operator will be able to choose between continuing or abandoning the
cycle.

64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 3-7
The TaskExpert leaf node is only available if the TaskExpert Application Software module has
been installed into the IND560x.
3.4.1. Configuration Options
Configure terminal options on the setup screens that are available under the five major branches of
the setup menu.
If the metrology switch is in the approved position (SW1-1 = ON), access to the Scale branch
is not permitted. The Scale branch will be expandable and viewable, but changes to setup will
not be permitted. Access will be denied.
3.5. Scale
The Scale branch provides the following access to the configuration of
the connected scales:
 Type*
 Capacity and increment values*
 Calibration*
 Zero parameters*
 Tare parameters*
 Units
 Rate parameters
 Filter parameters*
 Stability parameters*
 Log or print threshold parameters
 Minimum weight parameters
Leaf nodes that are marked with an asterisk (*) above will have different parameters
depending on the connected scale type (analog or IDNet).
A Reset is present at the end of the branch to enable a limited reset to the factory default settings for
the Scale branch parameters.
3.5.1. Type
The Scale Type screen permits a name to be assigned to the scale, displays the scale PCB Type in
the terminal, provides a selection list for the Approval mode, and allows the IND560x to be
configured as a Remote Display for another (Master) terminal. The EXIT softkey will return the
display to the menu tree.

3-8 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Configuration
3.5.1.1. Name
The Name field enables entry of the scale identification. Enter the scale name (an alpha-numeric
string of up to 20 characters) in the Name entry box.
3.5.1.2. Scale Type
The Scale Type field automatically shows the hardware configuration. This field will display either
Analog or IDNet, along with Remote. If Remote is selected, the approval option will not be available.
3.5.1.3. Load Cells
Load Cell parameters are shown only for IND560x analog main boards, and only if scale type
selection is Analog. Load Cell parameters must be set correctly for analog IND560x terminals that
will operate under battery power, because the current demand from the load cells determines the
switch off voltage set point of the external battery.
Setting the Load Cell parameters correctly helps to ensure that all available capacity of the battery is
used, and protects the battery pack from a deep discharge that will harm the NiMH cells and
shorten the lifespan of the battery pack
Default values of the Load Cell parameters are 1 x 350 Ω. Enter the total number of analog load
cells into the first field, and the impedance (resistance) of each individual load cell into the 
(Ohm) field. If only the Total Scale Resistance is known, enter 1 as the number of load cells and
the TSR into the  field.
If scale type is set as Remote, the number of cells is automatically set to 0.
3.5.1.4. Approval
Approval (analog load cells only) refers to the metrological (weights and measures) approval
configuration for the specific scale. The Approval selection is not present for IDNet scale bases, but
rather is part of the Service Mode of the base. The selection list can be set to:
 None – no approval is required
 USA
 OIML
 Canada
 Australia
 Argentina
If an approval (USA, OIML, Canada, or Australia) is configured and the metrology security switch,
SW1-1, is set to ON, access to the Scale setup parameters in the menu tree will be limited to view
only.
If the approval is configured as Argentina and the metrology security switch, SW1-1, is set to ON,
access to the entire setup menu is prohibited. If an attempt is made to access the setup menu, an
on-screen message will display stating “Access denied. Scale is Approved.”

manuals search engine
64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 3-9
If an approval is selected but SW1-1 is not ON, it will not be possible to leave setup, and a
message will appear: Switch UNSECURED.
3.5.2. Scale Type: Remote
When properly configured, the IND560x can function as a remote display for another IND560x
terminal or for another Mettler Toledo terminal capable of handling Mettler Toledo Continuous
Output. If the remote IND560x will be used to issue simple commands to another terminal (referred
to as the Master terminal), the Master must be able to accept Command Inputs (CPTZ).
3.5.3. Physical Connection of Master and Remote Terminals
Communication for the remote display function occurs over a single serial connection. The
configurable serial ports (COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5) in the IND560x can support one
output and one input simultaneously, so only a single port is necessary for remote operation.
The standard COM1 port on the main board of the IND560x, COM4 and COM5 (on the optional
fiber optic and current loop interface boards), and the optional COM2 and COM3 ports which would
be installed in the ACM500, each support all three of the assignments used in the remote display
function: Remote Display, Continuous Output and CTPZ Input. Communication can occur via RS-
232, RS-422 or RS-485, but serial port parameters (baud, data bits, parity, flow control) must be
the same for the Master and Remote terminals.
IMPORTANT: Direct connection of COM1 on the IND560x to another Mettler Toledo terminal will
require the use of an appropriate signal barrier! Refer to the Installation Manual for details on
barriers known to work with the IND560x.
3.5.4. Remote Terminal Communication via COM1
If the IND560x will function as the Remote terminal, and the communication will take place over
COM1, the Scale > Type setting must be Remote, as shown in Figure 3-7. Note that the Approval
option is not available in this configuration.
Figure 3-7: Scale Type Setting for Remote Operation

3-10 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Configuration
In addition, at Communication > Connections, the COM1 port must be assigned to Remote Display,
as shown in Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-8: COM1 Connection Configured for Remote Operation
IMPORTANT: An appropriate signal barrier is required when connecting a non-intrinsically
safe device up to COM1 on the intrinsically safe IND560x.
3.5.5. Remote Terminal Communication via COM2 or COM3
If the IND560x will function as the Remote terminal and the communication will take place over
COM2 or COM3 in the ACM500, the Scale > Type setting must be Remote, as shown in Figure 3-7.
In addition, COM4 must be set as ACM500, as shown in Figure 3-9. Finally, COM2 or COM3 can
be assigned as Remote Display as shown in Figure 3-10
Figure 3-9: COM4 Connection Configured for ACM500
Figure 3-10: COM2/COM3 Connection Configured for Remote Operation
3.5.6. Remote Terminal Communication via COM4 or COM5
If the IND560x will function as the Remote terminal and the communication will take place via a
legacy fiber optic converter, another IND560x with fiber optic interface installed or the ACM500
 

manuals search engine
64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 3-11
(COM4 or COM5), the Scale > Type setting must be Remote, as shown in Figure 3-7. In addition,
COM4 or COM5 must be set as Standard on the Connections setup page, as shown in Figure 3-11.
Finally, COM4 or COM5 can then be assigned as Remote Display on the Connections View page as
shown in Figure 3-12.
NOTE: The IND560x cannot function as a remote display for another IND560x if the current
loop interface is used. The current loop connection used in a remote display configuration
requires one active and one passive end in the communication link, and only an active
current loop interface is approved for use in the IND560x.
Figure 3-11: COM4 or COM5 Connection Configured for Fiber Optic Converter or ACM200
Figure 3-12: COM4 or COM5 Connection Configured for Remote Operation
3.5.7. Master Terminal Configuration
The Master terminal must have a port configured to send display information to the Remote
terminal. At Communication > Connections the serial port assignment must be Continuous Output.
If the Remote terminal will be used to send commands to the Master terminal, then the same port
must have a second connection assignment for CTPZ Input.
Figure 3-13 shows a typical Remote Display setup, with the Master terminal able to receive
commands sent from the Remote IND560x.

The number of ranges settings are available for analog load cells only. Set the number of ranges
from one to three in the selection box. Specify the capacity and increment size for each range.
3.5.8.3. Blanking Over Capacity
The blanking over capacity settings are available for analog load cells only. Blanking of the display
is used to indicate an over-capacity condition. Set the blank over capacity for the divisions (d)
(display increments) that the terminal is permitted to go over capacity. For example, if capacity is
set at 500 kg by 0.1 kg increments and the blank over capacity setting is 5 d, the terminal can
display weights up to 500.5 kg. At weights over 500.5, dashed lines will display instead of a
weight.

including:
Capture Zero
Capture Span
Step Calibration
CalFree
Service Mode (IDNet scales)
3.5.9.6.1. Capture Zero
The Capture Zero function in the Calibration setup is available for analog load cells only. The
CAPTURE ZERO softkey triggers an independent operation to reset the zero condition of the
scale. A status message displays when this softkey is pressed that directs the user to empty the
scale and press the START softkey . The status of the capture zero operation displays. When the
operation is complete, a final status message displays that verifies the completion of the capture
zero operation.
If motion is present during the zero capture process, the terminal will average the weight
readings then display an error message indicating unstable weight values were used. This
message must be acknowledged to save the these values.
3.5.9.6.2. Capture Span

5. After the first calibration step has completed, the menu will either display a prompt for the next
calibration weight to be added (if 2, 3, or 4 test load steps are enabled by the linearity
adjustment parameter) or will show a successful or failed calibration sequence.
If motion is present during the span capture process, the terminal will average the weight
readings then display an error message indicating unstable weight values were used. This
message must be acknowledged to save the these values.
6. Repeat steps 3–4 for test loads 2, 3, and 4 if enabled by linearity adjustment.
7. If the capture span operation was successful, a verification message that reads “Capture Span
OK” displays If the capture span operation was not successful, an error message that reads
“Calibration Failure” displays. If the calibration fails, repeat the capture span procedures. If the
calibration continues to fail, contact a local METTLER TOLEDO representative for assistance.
8. Press the EXIT softkey to return to the Calibration screen.
3.5.9.6.3. Step Calibration
The Step Calibration function in the Calibration setup is available for analog load cells only. The
STEP CALIBRATION softkey initiates a procedure that enables a “build-up” calibration for tanks
and hoppers. For step calibration, the same amount of test weight is added for each step of the
calibration procedure.
To perform a step calibration:
1. Press the STEP CALIBRATION softkey . The Step Calibration setup screen displays.
2. Enter the target weight for the test load (the same amount of test load weight is used in each
step).
3. Press the START softkey . The Step Calibration screen displays. This screen shows an active
(live) weight display (using the current span factor), the intended target weight as entered on
the previous screen, and the next step for the operator “Add test weight.”
4. Add test weight to the tank/hopper as prompted by the display. Each time test weight is added
to the scale, the active display shows the weight.
5. When the full amount of test weight has been added, press the OK softkey . The test load is
captured and span factors are saved. During the time the weight is captured and the new span
factor is being calculated, the display “Add test weight” changes to “Capturing span.” The
display then changes to the next prompt “Remove test weight then fill to target.”
6. Remove the test weight. The active display returns to zero.
7. Fill the tank/hopper with a substitute material up to the target weight.
8. Press the OK softkey . The target weight value recalculates to show the substitute material
weight plus the initial intended target weight. The display changes to the next prompt “Add test
weight.”
9. Add test weight to the tank/hopper. The active display shows the weight.
10. Press the OK softkey . If the actual weight does not equal the target, a new span factor
calculates and the display changes to “Capturing span.” The active weight display changes to
match the target weight value. The display changes to the next prompt “Remove test weight

11. Remove the test weight. The active display returns to the previous weight that displayed for the
last test load.
12. Repeat steps 7 through 11 until an appropriate number of calibration steps have been
completed for the specific application.
13. Press the EXIT softkey at any step in the procedure to stop the step calibration process and
return to the Calibration screen.
3.5.9.6.4. CalFree
The CalFree procedure is applicable for analog load cells only. The CalFree softkey provides
access to the span calculation screen for precalibration of a scale without test weights. Highprecision scale bases are precalibrated when received from the factory so this feature is not used.
To perform precalibration of span using CalFree:
1. Press the CalFree softkey . The CalFree screen displays.
2. Enter the load cell capacity and rated load cell output values in the associated fields:
The total load cell capacity should be entered here. For example, for a tank with three 5000 kg
cells, cell capacity would be 3 x 5000 kg or 15000 kg.
If multiple load cells are used, the average output of all cells should be entered here.
3. Enter an estimated preload value in the associated field. Estimated preload is an optional entry.
During calculation, the terminal also tests for analog/digital (A/D) converter input saturation at
full scale capacity. Estimated preload is included in this calculation if entered in this field. If the
preload is unknown, leave this field blank.
This preload value is used only to determine overload conditions and is not used as a zero
reference point. The zero reference point must be captured using the normal zero calibration
procedure.
4. Press the OK softkey . The span is calculated using the parameters entered.
5. If the calibration operation was successful, a verification message that reads “Calibration OK”
displays If the calibration operation was not successful, an error message that reads
“Calibration Failure” displays. If the precalibration fails, repeat the CalFree procedures. If the
precalibration continues to fail, contact a local METTLER TOLEDO representative for assistance.
6. Press the ESCAPE softkey to return to the Calibration screen.
3.5.9.6.5. Service Mode
Service Mode is available for IDNet load cells only. This screen displays a single box that shows
messages from the IDNet base up to 16 characters. When either the (Yes) or (No) softkey
is pressed, the terminal sends the respective response to the scale base and the next message to
be displayed is transmitted back to the terminal from the base. This sequence remains constant
during the complete service mode communication sequence. Refer to the service mode flow chart
for the IDNet base used to view the exact sequence.
After the last communication from the scale base has been completed, the display returns to the
Scale Type screen.

3.5.10. Analog Saturation Test
During the calibration process, the IND560x will determine if there is a potential for analog section
saturation. The IND560x will compare the available number of counts with the captured span to
confirm that the desired capacity is achievable. If the potential exists to saturate the analog section
before system capacity is reached, the IND560x will display a warning message and
recommendation that the system be recalibrated with a new, lower, capacity.
Figure 3-14: Analog Saturation Warning
This message functions only as a recommendation to recalibrate. After the warning message is
acknowledged by pressing the ENTER key, the user is presented with the “Capture Span OK” screen
and the BACK softkey. Service personnel should then carry out the following:
 Confirm that the analog gain jumper on the main board is set correctly for the actual load cell
output, either 2mV/V or 3mV/V (refer to the Installation Manual, for jumper positions).
 If the analog gain jumper is correctly set, the scale should be recalibrated with a lower
capacity. Potential analog section saturation does not force a failure in calibration.
IMPORTANT: It is critical that service personnel follow the recommendation to recalibrate or
confirm that the analog output jumper is properly positioned on the main board.
Analog section saturation will result in a ‘freeze’ of the display, where the display is
no longer showing increases in weight, creating the possibility of overfills and spills
during the weighing process.
3.5.11. Zero
This section provides access to Auto Zero Maintenance (AZM) settings, under zero blanking, powerup zero, and pushbutton zero parameters.
3.5.11.1. AZM & Display
AZM is a means of tracking zero when the scale is empty. AZM compensates for conditions such as
terminal or load cell drift or debris on a scale platform.
3.5.11.1.1. Auto Zero
Use the AZM & Display setup screen to enable auto zero for gross weighing or gross and net
weighing, or to turn auto zero off.

3-18 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Configuration
3.5.11.1.2. Auto Zero Range
Analog load cells: Set the auto zero range for the number of divisions (d) around the current zero
setting in which auto zero will operate.
IDNet load cells: Either enable or disable the auto zero function.
3.5.11.1.3. Under Zero Blanking
The Under Zero Blanking function in the Zero setup is available for analog load cells only. Blanking
of the display is used to indicate an under-zero condition when the weight on the scale falls below
the current zero reference. Set the under zero blanking for the number of divisions (d) that the
terminal is permitted to go under zero before blanking.
A value of 99 disables blanking under zero and the terminal will display a weight as far under
zero as possible.
3.5.11.1.4. Power Up
A Power Up setting of Restart enables the terminal to save and reuse the last zero reference weight
after a power cycle so it returns to the same gross weight value. If reset is selected, the last zero
calibration value will be used as the zero reference point. Select either Reset or Restart from the
Power Up selection box.
3.5.11.2. Ranges
Use the settings on the Ranges screen to enable or disable Power Up Zero and Pushbutton Zero and
to set the ranges around the original zero condition for the scale for applying these functions.
3.5.11.2.1. Power Up Zero
The Power Up Zero function in the Zero setup is available for analog load cells only. If Power Up
Zero is enabled, the terminal tries to capture zero upon power up.
3.5.11.2.2. Range
The Range setting for Power Up Zero is available for analog load cells only. If Power Up Zero is
enabled, –Range and +Range fields will display for setting the range around the original zero
condition for the scale within which Power Up Zero can be applied. The range units are percent.
For example, if the +Range setting for Power Up Zero is set at 2%, Power Up Zero will only occur
when the weight reading on the scale is at or below 2% of the original zero condition. If the –Range
setting for pushbutton zero is set at 2%, Power Up Zero will only occur when the weight reading on
the scale is at or above –2% of the original zero condition.
If Power Up Zero capture is enabled and the weight on the scale is outside of the zero capture
range, the display will indicate EEE until the weight is removed and zero is captured.
3.5.11.2.3. Pushbutton Zero
If Pushbutton Zero is enabled, the front panel ZERO pushbutton will operate to capture zero
reference points.
If Pushbutton Zero is Disabled, execution of a remote Zero is still possible via SICS, CPTZ, or
SMA commands, discrete inputs or from the PLC commands.

3.5.11.2.4. Range
The Range setting for Pushbutton Zero is available for analog load cells only. If Power If Pushbutton
Zero is enabled, –Range and +Range fields will display for setting the range around the original
zero condition for the scale within which Pushbutton Zero can be applied. The range units are
percent.
For example, if the +Range setting for Pushbutton Zero is set at 2%, the Pushbutton Zero can only
be used when the weight reading on the scale is at or below 2% of the original zero condition. If
the –Range setting for Pushbutton Zero is set at 2%, the Pushbutton Zero can only be used when
the weight reading on the scale is at or above –2% of the original zero condition.
3.5.12. Tare
Tare is used to subtract the weight of an empty container from the gross weight on the scale to
determine the net weight of the contents. Tare is inhibited if the scale is in motion.
Three setup screens are available to configure tare:
Tare Types Auto Tare Auto Clear
3.5.12.1. Tare Types
Use the Tare Types setup screen to enable or disable pushbutton tare, keyboard tare, net sign
correction, terminal tare (IDNet load cells only).
3.5.12.1.1. Pushbutton Tare
When pushbutton tare is enabled, the TARE scale function key can be pressed when an
empty container is on the scale to determine tare. The terminal displays a zero weight and net
mode. When the container is loaded and placed back on the scale, the terminal displays the net
weight of the contents.
If Pushbutton Tare is Disabled, execution of a remote Tare is still possible via SICS, CPTZ, or
SMA commands, discrete inputs or from the PLC commands.
3.5.12.1.2. Keyboard Tare
When keyboard tare is enabled, the known value for the empty weight of a container (tare) can be
entered manually. The terminal will then display the net weight of the contents of the container.
Keyboard tares are automatically rounded to the closest display division.
3.5.12.1.3. Net Sign Correction
Net sign correction enables the IND560x terminal to be used for both shipping (inbound empty)
and receiving (inbound loaded) operations. If net sign correction is enabled, the terminal will switch
the gross and tare weight fields on the printed ticket, if necessary, so that the larger weight is the
gross weight, the smaller weight is the tare weight, and the difference is always a positive net
weight. Net sign correction affects the printed data output, the recalled weigh display and the
displayed weight. Continuous data output will continue to show a negative net weight value.
Net sign correction will operate with pushbutton tare, preset tare, or tare memories. An example of
weight values with and without net sign correction is shown in Table 3-1. In this example, the tare
register value is 53 kg and the live weight on the scale is 16 kg.

Configuration
Table 3-1: Weight Values With and Without Net Sign Correction
Net Sign Correction
Printed and Displayed Disabled Enabled
Gross 16 kg 53 kg
Tare 53 kg 16 kg
Net 37 kg 37 kg
 When net sign correction is enabled, the tare weight field in the recall display will be
labeled with the letter “M” to indicate “Memory” instead of “T” or “PT”.
3.5.12.2. Terminal Tare
The Terminal Tare field only displays when an IDNet scale base is connected. Terminal Tare is
disabled by default. When Terminal Tare is disabled, all Tare commands received by the IND560x
via SICS, CTPZ, PLC or keypad will be passed through to the IDNet base for execution. The base will
calculate the tare and net weight values and pass this information back to the IND560x. When
Terminal Tare is enabled, tare and net weight values are calculated in the terminal and not in the
high precision IDNet base.
When Terminal Tare is enabled, the stability timeout value will be set to 3 seconds, but can be set
to any value between 0 and 99 at Scale > Stability. A value of “99” instructs the terminal to wait
indefinitely for a stable condition – a Tare command would never be aborted due to motion.
When Terminal Tare is disabled, the stability timeout value defaults to “99”, and cannot be
modified. The terminal will not display or transmit Net status, Net weight or Tare weight until it
receives this information from the scale base. Only when the IDNet base responds will the terminal
display and transmit the tare value and Net status to the PC/PLC.
Terminal Tare should be disabled for approved (legal-for-trade) systems.
3.5.12.3. Auto Tare
Use the Auto Tare screen to enable or disable automatic tare and to set the tare and reset threshold
weights, and enable or disable motion check.
3.5.12.3.1. Auto Tare
When auto tare is enabled, the tare weight is taken automatically when a container above the
threshold weight is on the scale and settles to no-motion.
3.5.12.3.2. Tare Threshold Wt.
When weight on the scale platform exceeds the tare threshold value and settles to no-motion, the
terminal automatically tares.
3.5.12.3.3. Reset Threshold Weight
The reset threshold weight must be less than the tare threshold weight. When the weight on the
scale platform falls below the reset threshold value, such as when a load has been removed, the
terminal automatically resets the auto tare trigger, depending upon the programming of motion
checking.

manuals search engine
64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 3-21
3.5.12.3.4. Motion Check
Enable the motion check setting to prevent auto tare reset rigger from occurring when the scale is in
motion. When enabled, the scale must detect a non-motion condition below the reset value to reset
the trigger.
3.5.12.4. Auto Clear
Use the Auto Clear screen to enable or disable auto clear tare, clear after print, to set the clear
threshold weight, and enable or disable motion checking for auto clearing of tare.
3.5.12.4.1. Auto Clear Tare
To clear tare automatically when the scale returns to below the threshold weight, enable the auto
clear tare setting.
3.5.12.4.2. Clear Threshold Wt.
When the gross scale weight exceeds then falls below the clear threshold weight value, the terminal
automatically clears tare and returns to gross mode.
3.5.12.4.3. Motion Check
The Motion Check field displays only when Auto Clear Tare is enabled. Enable the motion check
setting to prevent auto clear from occurring when the scale is in motion.
3.5.12.4.4. Clear After Print
The Clear After Print field displays only when Auto Clear Tare is enabled. To clear tare automatically
after printing, enable the clear after print setting.
3.5.12.4.5. Clear With Zero
To clear tare automatically when capturing zero, enable the clear with zero setting.
3.5.12.4.6. Power Up
A Power Up setting of Restart enables the terminal to save and reuse the last tare weight after a
power cycle. If Reset is selected, the terminal returns to gross mode upon power up and the last
tare weight after the power cycle is cleared. Select either Restart or Reset from the Power Up
selection box.
3.5.13. Units
This setup screen enables the selection of a second and a third unit and power up units.
3.5.13.1. Second Unit and Third Unit
Use the Second Unit and Third Unit selection boxes to select second and third weighing units,
configure custom second and third units, or to select none. Only one custom unit is possible.
If printing of two units is required, establish Third Units. Both Primary and Third units can be printed
simultaneously in an output template.

3.5.13.2. Power Up
Power up units defines the units the terminal defaults to after power up. Use the selection box to
select either Primary Units or Restart, which makes the power up units those that were active when
power was removed.
3.5.13.3. Custom Units
If Custom is selected for second or third units, three additional fields display for configuring custom
units. The terminal displays the first three letters of the custom name in the units area of the display
when custom units are in use.
3.5.13.3.1. Custom Factor
Enter a multiplication factor for the custom unit in this field, such as 0.592 or 1.019. The primary
unit is multiplied by the custom factor to obtain the custom value.
3.5.13.3.2. Custom Name
The softkeys turn into alpha keys when this field is selected. Use the alpha keys to enter the name
for the custom unit. Up to 12 characters may be entered.
3.5.13.3.3. Custom Increment
Enter a custom increment in this field, such as 0.1 or 0.5. This step controls both the decimal
position and the increment size of the custom unit value.
3.5.14. Rate
A Rate, expressed as change in primary or secondary weight units per time unit, may be
programmed for display on the IND560x (Figure 3-15) and/or used in controlling discrete outputs
– for example as the source for a Comparator (described later in this chapter).
The Rate display is over-ridden by SmartTrac. If SmartTrac is enabled, the Rate display
option is not available in the Terminal > Display screen.
If the weight information in the terminal becomes invalid, the Rate display will show 0.000.

Figure 3-15: Rate Display on Home Screen
The following Rate parameters can be configured:
3.5.14.1.1. Weight Units
Weight Units may be set to None, Primary or Secondary. The Primary and Secondary selections
correspond to the Units setting in the Scale > Capacity & Increment screen. Secondary units must
be enabled at Scale > Units in order for secondary to be a unit selection for the Rate function. When
the default value, None, is selected, the rate function is disabled. If the unit is a Custom Unit, a
Custom Unit Name of up to 3 characters can be displayed.
3.5.14.1.2. Time Units
Time Units may be set to Seconds, Minutes or Hours. The default value is Seconds.
3.5.14.1.3. Measurement Period
The Measurement Period value sets the frequency of weight measurements. 1 second is the default
value. Other options are 0.5 and 5 seconds.
3.5.14.1.4. Output Average
Output from the rate function is set by a computed rolling average of measurements. This possible
range of values is 1 to 99 seconds, with a default value of 1. The Output Average value should be
sufficiently larger than the Measurement Period to allow the terminal to take multiple measurements
for each average.
3.5.14.2. Filter
The IND560x terminal has a low-pass, multi-pole vibration filter that can be set for several conditions
when using analog load cells. The heavier the filtering, the slower the display settling time will be.
3.5.14.2.1. Low Pass Frequency
Low Pass Frequency configuration is available for analog load cells only. Low pass frequency is the
frequency above which all disturbances are filtered out. The lower the frequency, the better the
disturbance rejection, but the longer the settling time required for the scale.
3.5.14.2.2. Low Pass # of Poles
Low Pass # of Poles configuration is available for analog load cells only. The number of poles
determines the slope of the filtering cutoff. For most applications, a slope value of 8 is acceptable;
however, decreasing this number will improve settling time slightly.

3-24 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Configuration
3.5.14.2.3. Notch Filter Frequency
Notch Filter Frequency configuration is available for analog load cells only. The notch filter allows
selection of one specific frequency below the low pass filter value that can also be filtered out. This
enables setting the low pass filter higher to filter out all but one frequency (that the notch filter will
handle) and obtain a faster settling time. Values from 0 (disable) to 99 are possible.
3.5.14.2.4. Stability Filter
Stability Filter configuration is available for analog load cells only. The stability filter works in
conjunction with the standard low pass filter to provide a more stable final weight reading. The
stability filter should only be used in transaction weighing applications, since the nonlinear action of
the filter switching may cause inaccurate cutoffs in batching or filling applications. The stability filter
can be enabled or disabled on this setup screen.
3.5.14.3. IDNet Filtering
Configuration for IDNet filtering parameters is performed on the Filter screen. Use the Vibration
selection box to select a condition setting that reflects the specific location’s conditions. Selections
include:
Ideal Conditions The weighing platform operates very quickly. However, it is very sensitive.
This setting is suitable for a very calm and stable weighing location.
Average Conditions This is the factory default setting and is suitable for most normal
environments.
Extreme Conditions The base reacts to changes in weight more slowly but is much more stable
in unstable environments.
Use the Weighing Process selection box to select the specific weighing process in use. Selections
include:
Fine Filling Used when liquid or fine powders are being weighed
Universal Weighing For solid materials coarse filling or checkweighing
Static Weighing For solid materials and weighing under extreme conditions such as strong
vibrations
Dynamic Weighing For weighing products that will not be fully stable or still during the weighing
process. Not intended for animal weighing.
3.5.15. Stability
The IND560x terminal includes a stability detector (weight in motion). For analog load cells, the
Stability setup screen enables setting a motion range, no-motion interval and timeout period. For
IDNet bases, a stability measure and timeout period may be set.

64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 3-25
3.5.15.1. Analog Load Cell Stability
3.5.15.1.1. Motion Range
Sets the motion range to the weight value (in divisions) that the weight is permitted to fluctuate and
still have a no-motion condition. Values from 0.1 to 99.9 are possible with the default value being
1.0.
3.5.15.1.2. No-motion Interval
The no motion interval defines the amount of time (seconds) that the scale weight must be within the
motion range to have a no-motion condition. Values from 0.0 (motion detection disabled) to 2.0 are
possible, the default value being 0.3 seconds. A shorter interval means that a no-motion condition is
more likely, but may make weight measurement less precise.
3.5.15.1.3. Timeout
Defines the period (in seconds) after which the terminal stops attempting to perform a function that
requires a no-motion condition (such as a zero, tare or print command) and aborts the function. This
timeout is used regardless of the source of the command such as the keypad, discrete input, PLC or
SICS. Values from 0 to 99 are possible, the default value being 3. A smaller value means that less
time will be used to check for no-motion before aborting a command. When a value of 0 is entered,
there must be no motion when a command is given or it will fail immediately. A value of 99 is a
special condition which permits the terminal to wait indefinitely for a no-motion condition - a
command would never be aborted.
3.5.15.2. IDNet Stability
3.5.15.2.1. Stability
Stability settings for IDNet load cells are configured by selecting a number setting of 0 (disabled), 1
(fast display, good repeatability), 2 (slow display, better repeatability), 3 (slower display, better
repeatability), or 4 (very slow display, very good repeatability) in the Stability selection box.
3.5.15.2.2. Timeout
Defines the period (in seconds) after which the terminal stops attempting to perform a function that
requires a no-motion condition (such as zero or tare) and aborts the function. This timeout is used
regardless of the source of the command such as the keypad, discrete input, PLC or SICS. Values
from 0 to 99 are possible with the default value being 3. A smaller value means that less time will be
used to check for no-motion before aborting a command. When a value of 0 is entered, there must be
no-motion when a command is given or it will fail immediately. A value of 99 is a special condition
which permits the terminal to wait indefinitely for a no-motion condition - a command would never be
aborted.
3.5.15.3. Log or Print
The Log or Print setup branch is where the thresholds to control how and when data is saved or
output to a printer are defined. Normal demand mode printing occurs whenever a print request is
made, providing there is no motion on the scale and zero has been captured (a negative gross
weight will not be printed).

3-26 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Configuration
The weight values entered are the gross weight values in primary units. Gross weight in primary
units is used regardless of whether the IND560x is in Gross or Net mode and regardless of the units
that are displayed.
3.5.15.3.1. Minimum Weight
The minimum weight setting is the threshold below which log or print functions will not initiate.
Primary units are displayed for this field.
3.5.15.3.2. Interlock
Interlock prevents repeat logging and printing. If enabled, interlock requires that the weight reading
be reset per the Reset on parameter setting (see below) and then settle to a weight greater than the
minimum print value before responding to the next log or print request.
3.5.15.3.3. Automatic
Enable the automatic setting to log data and send a print request every time the weight on the scale
settles to a positive value that is larger than the entered threshold weight value.
If Automatic is set to Disable, the Threshold Weight field does not appear.
3.5.15.3.4. Reset on
The resetting of auto printing or logging can be based on weight threshold or weight deviation
values. Select Return (the weight must return to below this value to reset) or Deviation (the weight
must change more than this value to reset) from the selection box and enter the weight value in the
“Reset on” field.
If both Interlock and Automatic settings are disabled, the Reset on field does not display.
If Reset On is set to Deviation, The Threshold Weight and Motion Check fields do not display.
3.5.15.3.5. Threshold Weight
The Threshold Weight is the value above which an Automatic logging or printing of data can/will
occur. Threshold Weight does not appear if Automatic is set to Disabled or if Reset On is set to
Deviation.
3.5.15.3.6. Motion Check
Enable the motion check setting to prevent interlock and automatic log and print functions from
resetting when the scale is in motion below the “Reset On” return point. Motion Check does not
appear if Reset ON is set to Deviation.
3.5.15.4. MinWeigh
Enable the MinWeigh function to compare the current net weight with a MinWeigh value. If the net
weight is greater than or equal to the MinWeigh value, all terminal functions behave normally. If the
absolute value of the net weight is less than MinWeigh, the weight display includes a flashing
MinWeigh symbol to the left of the weight. If the user attempts to record the weight while in this
condition, the printout will include an asterisk ().
3.5.15.4.1. Entry Method
The MinWeigh value entry method can be either calculated by the IND560x or directly entered.

64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 3-27
Calculated
MinWeigh is composed of 4 factors, each determined independently:
MinWeigh =
U0  SF  100%
T – (c  SF  100%)
Where:
U0 = Uncertainty in measurement as the applied load approaches 0. U0 is computed
differently in each country and is entered in Primary units of measure.
T = Tolerance in percent, which reflects the tolerances required for the specific process and
facility. The range is 0.1%–99.9%.
SF = Safety factor, which is another adjustment means. Usually SF = 1. The integer value
range is 1–10.
c = Uncertainty factor related to the portion of uncertainty in measurement that is
proportional to the applied load. For reference only, c = (UMAX – U0) / Max, where Max
= maximum weighment and UMAX = measurement uncertainty at maximum weight.
When Calculated is selected, the user is prompted to enter the uncertainty U0, c factor, tolerance
percent, and safety factor in data entry boxes. The new MinWeigh value is then computed by the
weighing equipment.
Direct
For direct entry of a MinWeigh value, user enters the desired value for MinWeigh directly in the
MinWeigh data entry box. The MinWeigh value is entered in Primary units of measure.
3.5.15.5. Reset
The Reset screen enables the Scale branch setup values to be reset to factory default settings.
3.5.15.5.1. Scale Reset
To initiate a reset, press the OK softkey . If the reset was successful, a verification message that

 Totalization
 ID
3.6.2.1. Target
Use this setup screen to select which live measurement data stream (source) to use as input for
target comparison and to enable or disable latching.
3.6.2.1.1. Source
Select which source to use as input for target comparison, either Displayed Weight or Gross Weight.
3.6.2.1.2. Motion Check
This parameter is shown only if target mode is set to Over/Under (at Application > Memory > Target
Table). The default value is disabled. If Motion Check is enabled, the discrete outputs for Over,
Under and OK are only activated when a no-motion condition is detected.
3.6.2.1.3. Latching
If the Target Table mode selection is Material Transfer, output latching can be selected. When output
latching is enabled, the target comparison outputs remain latched (OFF) after the output switching
threshold is exceeded until the latch is reset by a start input (softkey or discrete input).
If latching is disabled, the outputs will operate as coincidence-type outputs with no interlocks.
3.6.2.2. Comparators
The Comparators screen permits the configuration of simple targets controlled either by coincidence
or by comparison with a range, and used as an assignment for Discrete I/O outputs. Comparators
are controlled either by coincidence or by comparison with a target or range. The source for
comparison can be the Gross Weight, Displayed Weight, Rate or assigned by a custom TaskExpert
application.

3.6.2.2.1. Home Screen Comparators Softkey
The Comparator softkey can be assigned to the weight display home screen. It opens the
Comparators view screen, which displays the ID, Description, Limit, Unit, High Limit and Active
values for each Comparator. An EDIT softkey opens a screen that display’s the selected
Comparator’s Description, and permits its Limit and High Limit values to be modified. Changes can
be saved ( ) or discarded ( ) when returning to the Comparators view screen.
3.6.2.2.2. Comparators Configuration Screen
Source, Active, Description and Limit values can only be set from the Application > Operation >
Comparators screen. This screen displays all five Comparators, and contains columns for ID,
Description, Source, Limit, Unit, High Limit, and Active condition. From here, it is possible to EDIT
a Comparator, delete one , or clear all Comparators.
Once parameters have been set in the Comparator Edit screen, they can be saved by pressing OK
, or discarded by pressing ESCAPE . In either case, the view returns to the Comparators
screen.
3.6.2.2.3. Source
The default value for Source is None, meaning that the comparator is disabled, and no other
parameter fields are displayed. Other choices for the Source are Displayed Weight, Gross Weight,
Rate and Application. If a weight field is selected as the Source, the weight unit will be primary
units. If Rate is selected as the Source, then the unit will be the same as selected for Rate in the
Scale > Rate branch. If Application is selected, no other parameter fields are displayed. This
selection allows a TaskExpert custom application to control the source assignment for the
Comparators.
3.6.2.2.4. Active
The Active setting determines the range of other options available in the Comparator Edit screen.
These options are summarized in Table 3-2.
When Active is set to less than (<, the default value), less than or equal to (<=), equal to
(=),greater than or equal to (>=), greater than (>), or not equal to (< >), the output is active
depending on the relationship between the current Source value and the Limit. When Active is set to
within (>_ _<) or outside (_< >_) a range, the source value is compared to the target value range
set in the Limit and High Limit fields.

3.6.2.2.5. Description
The description is an alphanumeric string that is used to identify the type and purpose of the
comparator. This string appears, together with the automatically assigned ID number (1-5), in the
list that displays when the Comparator softkey is pressed.
3.6.2.2.6. Limit
The Limit either sets the target weight value to which the actual source value is compared, or the
lower target value for the range to which the currently measured source value is compared.
3.6.2.2.7. High Limit
The High Limit is available only for Range mode, and sets the upper target value for the range to
which the currently measured source value is compared. Its value must be higher than the Limit – if
a lower value is entered, the terminal will show an Invalid Value message when the OK softkey
is pressed. The value is expressed in the programmed Rate unit.
3.6.2.3. Totalization
Knowing how many weighing transactions were performed and how much material was processed
during a particular period of time is useful information for many weighing applications.
The IND560x terminal provides both grand total (GT) and subtotal (ST) registers and counters.
Counters have a limit of 1,500,000 and registers will accumulate up to 11 digits of weight
including any decimal places to the right of the decimal point. For example, a scale programmed
for 500 x 0.1 kg will accumulate weight values up to 9999999999.9 (11 total digits). If either of
these limits is exceeded, an error message will display and the totals must be reset before
additional weights or counts will be added.
Use the Totalization setup screen to select parameters for totalization operations, including which
source to use as input for totalization, settings for grand totals and subtotals, and to enable or
disable the conversion of second or third unit weights for totalization.
3.6.2.3.1. Mode
Select which source to use as input for totalization comparison – either Displayed Weight or Gross
Weight. A selection of None disables totalization.
3.6.2.3.2. Clear GT on Print
GT can be configured to clear automatically after printing the Totals report. If Clear GT on Print is
enabled, the subtotal also clears automatically after printing the Totals report.
3.6.2.3.3. Subtotal
ST can be separately disabled while GT continues to accumulate weights. Choose to either enable
or disable the subtotal register.
3.6.2.3.4. Clear ST on Print
Clearing the subtotal on print and not clearing the grand total on print allows the subtotal register to
totalize sub-sets of weighments and to be reset while the grand total continues to track the grand
total of weight. Choose to Clear ST on Print or not by selecting enabled or disabled in the selection
box.

64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 3-35
3.6.2.3.5. Convert Weight
The total registers always store weights in primary units. If Convert Weight is disabled, scale
weights other than primary units are not accumulated. If Convert Weight is enabled, then the weight
is converted to primary units, then accumulated.
3.6.2.4. ID
The ID function is a simple but powerful means of facilitating specific data input from the operator
or causing a specific action to take place. The prompt list may include up to 20 steps, each step
containing a command that determines the action the IND560x terminal will take when the step is
executed.
The sequence can be programmed to run once (for example, when initiated by the pressing the ID
softkey ) or to loop continuously until terminated. It can also be initiated and restarted
automatically, triggered by weight input from the scale. In either case, the operator works though a
prompted series of actions or data entries. For example, the operator could place a package on the
scale, be prompted to enter his or her name, enter a pre-set tare value, scan a bar code on the
package, and generate an automatic print before finally removing the package from the scale. The
printed data could include the net weight value, together with the scanned package information and
the operator’s name. The content and format of the printed information is determined by the template
assigned to the demand output.
3.6.2.4.1. ID Mode – None
If None is selected as the ID Mode, then the ID function is disabled.
3.6.2.4.2. ID Mode – Automatic
Automatic Mode triggers the ID sequence when a weight above the Threshold weight value is
placed on the scale and a no-motion state is detected. The sequence trigger rearms again after the
weight falls below the Reset weight value. Press the EXIT softkey to exit the sequence.
3.6.2.4.3. ID Mode – Softkey
In this mode, the ID softkey triggers the sequence, which either runs once (if Looping is
Disabled) or continuously (if Looping is Enabled). In either case, pressing the EXIt softkey exits
the sequence.
3.6.2.4.4. Configuring ID Sequence Steps
Once the Mode Parameters have been set, ID sequence steps can be viewed, created, edited or
deleted by pressing the VIEW TABLE softkey .
1. The ID Search screen displays, permitting the search results to be filtered by #, Type, Length or
Prompt.
2. Either select a field to search and enter a comparative operator (<, <=, =, >=, >, <>) and
alphanumeric information in the Data fields; or leave the wildcard asterisk (*) in the Data field
to view all existing steps.

3.7.6. Softkeys
Add or rearrange the softkeys on the terminal's main menu on the softkeys setup screen. Appendix
E, Softkey Mapping, provides a more detailed explanation of the softkeys.
When the softkeys setup screen opens, focus is on the softkey position numbers located above the
icons.
Two softkeys, INFORMATION RECALL and SETUP , are automatically placed in the softkey
setup. The default setting for the placement of these softkeys is in positions 9 and 10.
The INFORMATION RECALL and SETUP softkeys must always be assigned a position. They can be
moved or multiple copies of them can exist but there must always be at least one appearance of
them. They cannot be deleted. All other softkeys may be added or deleted as desired.
Adding a softkey to the home pages of the terminal does not automatically enable the softkey’s
function. Most softkeys must also be enabled in setup too. For instance, adding the UNITS
SWITCHING softkey does not automatically enable units switching – the units must also be
enabled in the Scale branch of setup. If a softkey has been added in setup but does not appear on
the home page, check that the setup parameters for that function have been enabled.
The following softkeys are available for assignment to the home page:
 None  Recall Info*  Target Start
 Alibi Memory  Repeat Print  Target Table
 Calibration Test  Reports  Task 1**
 Comparators  Reset Transaction Counter  Task 2**
 Custom Trigger 1  Setup*  Task 3**
 Custom Trigger 2  SmartTrac  Task List**
 Custom Trigger 3  Tare Table  Time & Date
 ID  Target  Unit Switching
 MinWeigh  Target Control  x10 Display
* Cannot be removed from home screen or edited.
** Only available when TaskExpert™ or an application is installed.
Press the UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT navigation keys to navigate among the softkey position
numbers. Softkeys can be added, removed, and positioned using the softkeys:
Edit
Changes the softkey in the selected position to another softkey or to none,
which leaves the softkey position blank. Editing a blank position does not move
the position of following softkeys.

Insert Inserts a softkey into a selected position. All other softkeys located at or after
that position increase position number by one.
Delete Deletes a softkey in a selected position. All other softkeys located at or after that
position decrease position number by one.
Clear Clears all softkey assignments except INFORMATION RECALL and SETUP
softkeys. These will be shown in positions 1 and 2 respectively.

3.8.1. Templates
The IND560x terminal utilizes five output templates (1,000 bytes in
size) to define the format of data output following a weighing operation.
An input template is also available to receive a string input (such as
from a bar code gun) and use it as data entry for ID 1, Tare, Tare ID or

3-48 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 64062161 | 09 | 11/2016
Configuration
Target ID. When the Fill-560 Application Software is installed, the input template can also be
assigned for Target Weigh-In or Target Weigh-out.
A template strings setup screen is also available to configure strings of characters that are
frequently used in templates.
3.8.1.1. Input
Use the Input Template to remove extra characters from an input string of data. Setup parameters
include:
Preamble Length – Defines how many characters are skipped at the beginning of an input string
before the desired data.
Data Length – Defines the maximum length of a string. All characters beginning after the preamble
through the data length selection are used as the input.
Postamble Length – Defines the number of characters (before but not including the termination
character) that will be stripped off the data string. All other data from the preamble length to the
termination character minus the postamble length are used as the input string. When using an input
that is always the same fixed length, this field remains blank.
Termination Character –+ Used to signal the end of the string input. The termination character can
be any ASCII control character. If None is selected, the three-second timeout feature terminates the
entry. In addition to None, selections available from the selection box include:
SOH STX ETX EOT ENQ ACK BEL BS
HT LF VT FF CR SO SI DLE
DC1 DC2 DC3 DC4 NAK SYN ETB CAN
EM SUB ESC FS GS RS US
Assignment – Determines how the input data should be used. Choices are:
ID1 Input populates the ID1 Shared Data variable.
Keypad Used in conjunction with ID Mode – data that would normally be entered using the
numeric keypad or on-screen alpha keys may be scanned in during an ID Mode
sequence.
Tare Enters data as a preset tare value
Tare ID Uses value as an ID lookup in the tare table
Target ID Uses value as an ID lookup in the target table
Target
Weigh-in
Uses value as an ID lookup in the target table and assigns it as the Active Weigh-in
target (Fill-560 feature only)
Target
Weigh-out
Uses value as an ID lookup in the target table and assigns it as the Active Weigh-out
target (Fill-560 feature only)
There is also a three-second timeout feature that tracks the amount of time between characters. If
this three-second time is exceeded, the string is considered terminated.

********************.
Format & Length
The Format & Length options are Default, Centered, Left, and Right. These describe the justification
of the data within the length of the field.
The Default value is fixed, and Length cannot be defined here.
For SD name and String data, the Centered, Left and Right formats are accompanied by a Length
field. After choosing the format, focus moves to the Length entry box. This value determines how
long the element will be – the data will be positioned within a string of the length entered. Refer to
the Notes on Format & Length, below.

64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 3-51
Leading Zero Fill
In the case of Right-formatted SDName data, Leading Zero fill may be enabled or disabled.
Normally, Leading Zero Fill will be disabled, which means spaces will be used to fill in leading
non-significant data. If enabled, Leading Zero Fill will fill in any leading spaces of the data with
zeroes. The following examples of 4 characters in output data defined as 8 characters long show
the use of Leading Zero Fill:
Leading Zero Fill disabled:
Leading Zero Fill enabled:
Notes on Format & Length
If data for an element includes more characters than the value entered for Length, the output data
will be cut off. For example, if the number of characters entered under format on the Output
Template Edit Screen is six, and data for a string that contains eight characters is entered, only six
of the characters from the data string will print. If data for a string that contains four characters is
entered, all of the characters from the data string will print.
The characters and alignment of the printed data are defined by the selected format:
Example 8-character string of ABCDEFGH in a 6-character element:
Center: Left: Right:
B C D E F G A B C D E F C D E F G H
Prints the middle six characters
from an eight-character string –
drops first and last characters.
Prints the first six characters from
an eight-character string – drops
the last two characters.
Prints the last six characters from
an eight-character string – drops
the first two characters.
Example 4-character string of ABCD in a 6-character element:
A B C D A B C D A B C D
Space Space Spaces Spaces
Prints all four characters from a
four-character string in a centered
position, leaving a space at the
beginning and a space at the end.
Prints all four characters from a
four-character string in a leftjustified position, leaving two
spaces at the end.
Prints all four characters from a
four-character string in a rightjustified position, leaving two
spaces at the beginning.

manuals search engine
64062161 | 09 | 11/2016 METTLER TOLEDO IND560x User's Guide 3-57
module with the Ethernet/COM2/COM3 option installed, serial ports COM2 and COM3 and
Ethernet connections Ethernet1, Ethernet2, Ethernet3 and EPrint become available.
NOTE: Always power up the ACM500 before turning on the power to the IND560x. This will
ensure that the IND560x will communicate correctly with the ACM500 and recognize all
installed options.
 Installing the intrinsically safe current loop interface option into the IND560x and using COM4
and/or COM5 directly. In this application, the COM4 and COM5 ports can be used to
communicate with the ACM200 safe area communication module or with an IND226x used as
remote display.
 Installing the fiber optic interface option into the IND560x and using COM4 and/or COM5
directly. In this application, the COM4 and COM5 ports can be used to communicate with the
legacy dual channel fiber optic converter, A100, 8624, or directly to another IND560x or Puma
terminal used as a remote display.
3.8.3.1. COM4 and COM5
As explained above, the COM4 and COM5 communication ports can be used as standard serial
ports directly or can be dedicated to communicate with the ACM500 module. The first decision to
make regarding connections to the IND560x is determining how these two ports will be used. The
Connections screen (Figure 3-18) shows the connection options for COM4 and COM5.

3.8.3.2. Reconnect Mode
The communication protocol between the IND560x and the ACM500 requires that the ACM500 be
powered up first. If the ACM500 experiences a power cycle, the message shown in Figure 3-20 will
display. In the past when this occurred, users were required to acknowledge this pop-up message
by pressing the ENTER key. Users were then further required to manually power cycle the IND560x
to re-establish communication between the terminal and the ACM500.
Figure 3-20: ACM500 COM Error Message
A new setting in v3.04 firmware and higher provides the user with two options to re-establish
communication automatically in the event of an ACM500 power loss. In setup, Communication >
Connections includes a new setting called Reconnect Mode. Available settings include Manual and
Automatic.
Manual When Manual is selected, the operator will be presented with two options when the
ACM500 communication error (Figure 3-20) is shown on-screen. Pressing ESC will
acknowledge and clear the error message, but no further action will be taken by the
IND560x terminal. If OK is pressed, the error message is acknowledged and the
IND560x will complete a power cycle in order to re-establish communication with
the ACM500.
Automatic If Automatic is selected, the ACM500 communication error pop-up message will not
display on-screen and the user will not be given a choice of when the IND560x will
go through a power cycle. Instead, once the IND560x detects that the ACM500 is

used in a single scale application, but sometimes an application requires multiple fields of data in
a cyclic data transfer. In order to accomplish this, two, three, or even four message slots can be
assigned for the output. As the number of message slots is increased, so is the length of the
message, because each slot requires enough memory to transmit a complete set of data. More
detailed information can be found in the IND560x Terminal PLC Interface Manual, which is included
on the documentation CD.
Choose the number of message slots from the selection box. Press ENTER when done.

4 Service and Maintenance
The IND560x terminal is designed to provide years of dependable operation.
However, METTLER TOLEDO recommends that – as with any industrial
measurement equipment – the IND560x terminal and the connected scale
system be serviced periodically. Timely, factory specified maintenance and
calibration by a METTLER TOLEDO service technician will ensure and document
accurate and dependable performance to specifications.
If unexpected problems do occur, METTLER TOLEDO recommends that service be done only by
qualified, trained personnel. To assist in this repair, record as much information as possible about
what has happened including any error messages and physical responses of the terminal and/or
scale.
4.1. Terminal Cleaning and Maintenance
To clean the IND560x terminal’s keypad and cover:
• Gently wipe the IND560x terminal’s keypad and cover with a clean, damp, soft cloth.
• Use water or mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents.
• Do not use any type of acids, alkalis or strong industrial solvents such as toluene or
isopropanol (IPA) that could damage the terminal’s finish.
• Do not spray cleaner directly on the terminal.
• Do not clean the terminal using high-pressure or high-temperature water.
• Build-up of dust layers must be avoided.
• Remove light dust deposits using a damp cloth with a gentle wiping motion.
• Do not use compressed air or vacuum to remove dust layers.
• Follow good housekeeping practices to keep the terminal clean.
Regular maintenance inspections and calibration by a qualified service technician are
recommended.

Service and Maintenance
WARNING
IF THE IND560x KEYBOARD, DISPLAY LENS OR ENCLOSURE IS DAMAGED, THE DEFECTIVE
COMPONENT MUST BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. REMOVE POWER IMMEDIATELY AND DO
NOT REAPPLY POWER UNTIL THE DISPLAY LENS, KEYBOARD OR ENCLOSURE HAS BEEN
REPAIRED OR REPLACED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN BODILY HARM AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
The IND560x is a rugged stainless steel enclosed instrument; however, the font panel is a polyester
covering over sensitive electronic switches and a lighted display. Care should be taken to avoid any
punctures to this surface or any vibrations or shocks to the instrument. Should the front panel
overlay become punctured, the IND560x should be taken out of service until the overlay can be
replaced.
4.2. Service
Only qualified personnel should perform installation, programming, and service. Please contact a
local METTLER TOLEDO representative for assistance.
In general, once the IND560x is installed, programmed, and calibrated for a given application, only
routine calibration service is required.
WARNING
ONLY PERMIT QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO SERVICE THE TERMINAL. EXERCISE CARE WHEN
MAKING CHECKS, TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS THAT MUST BE MADE WITH POWER ON.
FAILING TO OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN BODILY HARM AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
4.2.1. General Safety Guidelines for Service
When performing on-site service or maintenance, only carry out this work on the weighing terminal
in the hazardous area if the following conditions are fulfilled:
• The certification papers (conformity certificates, control drawing, manufacturer certifications,
etc.) are present and can be used to confirm the correctness and safety of the installation
• The intrinsically safe entity parameters and area approval of the individual components are in
accord with one another,
• The customer has issued a permit ("spark permit" or "fire permit")
• The area has been rendered safe and the owner's safety coordinator has confirmed that there is
no danger
• The necessary tools and any required protective clothing are provided (danger of the build-up
of static electricity)

4.3. Display Messages
4.3.1. Application Key Error
If, on power-up, the terminal finds that the hardware application key status has changed, a fault
message (Figure 4-1) will display. For instance, if the Fill-560 hardware key was added to a
standard IND560x, the fault would be displayed at power up.
Figure 4-1: Application Key Fault Message
Even though the ENTER graphic is shown, the ENTER key does not function. Two responses to this
error are possible:
• If the hardware key status was not changed on purpose, turn power off and determine what
caused the status to change. Fix the problem and apply power again. The terminal will retest
the hardware key status.
• If the hardware key status was changed on purpose by adding or removing a key, perform a
manual Master Reset – refer to Master Reset under Troubleshooting, below.
NOTE: Back up the terminal’s current setup parameters before the hardware key status is
changed. The original setup can then be downloaded to the terminal after the Master Reset has
been performed.
4.3.2. COM4 Error / COM5 Error
A “COM4 Error” and/or “COM5 Error” message will display in the system line of the IND560x
(Figure 4-2) if:
• The setting at Communication > Connections > COM4 or COM5 is ACM500, and the
IND560x does not register communication from the ACM500 when it is powered up, or
• Communication is lost between the IND560x and ACM500.
For troubleshooting assistance, refer to the Internal Diagnostic Testing section later in this chapter.

4.5.1.3.3. Statistics
Displays statistical information for the scale such as the total number of weighments, the number of
scale overloads, the peak weight weighed on the scale, total number of zero commands and failed
zero commands. These are very helpful when diagnosing scale problems.
4.5.1.4. Serial Test
Enables testing of the transmit and receive functions on serial ports COM1, COM2 and COM3 (if
installed in ACM500). COM4 and COM5 on the fiber optic and current loop interfaces of the
IND560x can also be tested in this manner with special conditions.
1. Place a jumper wire between the transmit and the receive terminals of the COM port to be tested
as shown in Figure 4-4.
2. Select the COM port (COM1, COM2, COM3) to be tested using the selection box for COM Port.
Only the ports installed are available for testing.
3. Press the START softkey and a data string is output repeatedly approximately once every
three seconds. The data is: [Testing COMx: nn] where “x” is the COM port and “nn” is an
incrementing value beginning at 00 and continuing to 99. Each transmission increments this
number by one.

4. The same data string that is transmitted displays as the receiving field. If another device is
connected to the receiving port, any ASCII data received displays in the receiving field.
5. To stop the serial port test, press the STOP softkey .

4.5.1.5. Discrete I/O Test
Provides a view of the status of the discrete inputs and allows enabling or disabling of the discrete
outputs for diagnostic purposes. Expand the Discrete I/O branch by pressing the RIGHT navigation
key. Choose if the test will be performed on the local (internal) discrete I/O option or one of the
remote ARM100 modules. Press ENTER when that branch is highlighted.
Next, a warning will display to remind the tester that the outputs can be turned on manually during
this test, so any control power to the discrete outputs should be removed.
WARNING
THE DISCRETE OUTPUTS OF THE IND560x TERMINAL WILL BE MANUALLY ENABLED
DURING THIS TEST. REMOVE OUTPUT CONTROL POWER SO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT
WILL NOT BE ENERGIZED BY MISTAKE. EXERCISE CARE WHEN MAKING CHECKS, TESTS
AND ADJUSTMENTS THAT MUST BE MADE WITH POWER ON. FAILING TO OBSERVE
THESE PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN BODILY HARM AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
When viewing the test screen, the input status will be shown at the top of the display and the output
status will be shown at the bottom of the display Figure 4-5). Focus is shown on Output #1 first.

Focus can be moved to any of the other outputs by using the RIGHT and LEFT navigation keys.
The two softkeys at the bottom of the page will either enable or disable the highlighted
output.
Note that when the Discrete I/O Test screen is exited, all outputs will be turned off again.
4.5.1.6. Network Test
Enables testing of the Ethernet programming/hardware/firmware in the terminal. The following tests
are run during this diagnostic process:
• TCP/IP Stack
• This IP Address
• Gateway address
Each step will indicate “Testing” during the test then indicate a Pass or Timeout status. If the status
is shown as Timeout, it indicates that the IP address or gateway address has not been programmed
in the terminal (refer to Communication | Network in Chapter 3, Configuration for information on
entering the IP and gateway addresses).

4.6.1. Web Server
The IND560x includes a built-in web server utility that provides valuable tools for examining the
operation of the terminal, its installed options and software. Information available in the Web Server
includes:
• System hardware and software configuration
• Resource utilization
• Scale statistics and data
Web server help can also be used for the following functions:
• Reading shared data variables, viewed either statically or dynamically
• Writing shared data values
• Remote terminal reset
The Web Server in the IND560x is accessed with a web browser via the Ethernet connection
installed in the ACM500. Access to the Terminal is provided by using its IP address. An IP address
can be manually assigned, or assigned automatically by the network, depending on how DHCP is
configured in setup at Communication > Network > Ethernet. If DHCP client is enabled, once the
terminal is connected to the Ethernet its IP address will appear in the Ethernet configuration screen.
After an IP address for the IND560x has been entered or automatically assigned using DHCP,
record the address and enter it as the URL in the browser.
If the connection was successful, the Web Server home page (Figure 4-6) is displayed.
