Setpoint Report
The MVS allows you to view the address and
channel number of the setpoints of any
channel in the system. Follow this procedure:
1. If in Auto Mode (Auto LED illuminated),
press the Auto/Man Key to put the MVS
in Manual Mode. The Auto LED turns off.
2. Use the Arrow Keys to scroll to the
desired channel.
3. Press the Menu Key to display the Main
Menu. The display shows:

Iout (current output)
Current output is typically used to retransmit
continuous weight data to a remote display or
PLC/Distributed Control System (DCS). The
current output setup functions are accessed
in this menu. The functions include adding
and deleting current outputs, and selecting
fail-safe, net/gross, and operating modes.
One current output can be assigned to an
STX channel through the current output
capability on the STX PCB. Additionally, up to
two current outputs can be assigned to an
STX channel through an optional Current
Output PCB in the MVS. The capacity of
each Current Output PCB is 8 current
outputs. The total number of current outputs
in the system is limited only by the number of
Current Output PCBs in the MVS.
The Descriptions section defines each of the
parameters. The Setting Up Current Outputs
on the Current Output PCB, Setting Up
Current Output on the STX PCB, and Current
Output Report sections provide the
procedures for using the MVS.
Descriptions
Selection of MVS or STX in the Iout Menu
determines the PCB for which the current
output is set up:
• MVS — current output is set up on one of
the two available current output channels
on a Current Output PCB in the MVS.
• STX — current output is set up on the
one current output channel on the
STX PCB.
Once MVS or STX is selected the setup is
similar. However, the Add and Delete menus
do not appear when setting up current output
on the STX PCB.
Set
This menu is used to select current outputs,
assign values to determine the points where
the transmitter outputs the currents, designate
those values as net or gross weights,
and define a fail-safe condition for the current
outputs. Set has four submenus:
