Chapter 8. MVS-STX Service Menu Deflt (default) This function is used to: • reset Gain, Res, and Digt for the STX to factory-set default values, or • set default values for Gain, Res, and Digt if you add an STX PCB to an MVS or add serial communications for an STX to the MVS. The defaults for gain, resolution, and active digits vary, depending on sensor type. Deflt selections and corresponding values are shown in Table 8-3.

Default Values Mode This function selects the operation mode — Analog or Digtal (digital). In analog mode, the STX PCB’s current output is controlled by the ‘analog engine,’ calibrated with switches on the PCB. In digital mode, the STX PCB’s current output is controlled by the ‘digital engine,’ calibrated using the MVS menu tree. The default is Analog. The selection for Mode applies only to the current channel. Filter Vibrations in a vessel can cause changes in the weight display and outputs, even though no material is moved, because the vibrations affect the vessel’s structural response. The Sentry Filter reduces display and output changes that can result from vibration. The principle behind the filtering follows. The A/D converter digitizes the signal coming from a sensor. The STX picks the first signal as a reference median; this value is used in calculating the displayed weight. As shown in Figure 8-2, the STX then compares following signals to the reference median, and recalculates the reference median when either of the following happen: • the number of successive signals above or below the median exceeds a triggering number • a signal falls outside of a user-defined window around the reference median When the STX recalculates the reference median, the displayed weight changes to correspond to the new reference median. Filter affects setpoints, current outputs, and serial output as well as the channel monitoring display. The selections for Filter apply only to the current channel. Filter has four submenus: Enabe (enable) Enabe turns the filter on and off. The default is Off. Step Step is a window of equal counts above and below the reference median. As shown in Figure 8-2, example 1, if a large signal change is detected that falls outside the window, the STX immediately moves the location of the reference median to that point. This allows the STX to adjust quickly to rapid material movement. The default is 15,000 counts. Counts Signal falls outside of Step envelope Counts 3rd successive signal on same side of median Reference Median Step Step New median = last signal New median = ref median + 0.8 x (ref median - last signal) Raw Counts Corrected Counts Example 1 — Qlfy=3, DSPfact=80% (0.80) Time Figure 8-2. Filter Function Examples 8-4 Example 2 — Qlfy=3, DSPfact=80% (0.80) Time
Qlfy (qualify) Qlfy is the triggering number of successive signals above or below the median signal value, but within the Step window. In example 2 in Figure 8-2, Qlfy is 3. When the third successive signal above the median (but within the Step window) is detected, the STX moves the location of the median value to that point (or a percentage of the distance from the old median as determined by DSPfact). This allows the STX to respond to definite trends in weight changes. The default is 3. DSPfact (DSP factor) DSPfact determines the magnitude of change from the old to the new reference median, for change triggered by Qlfy. In Figure 8-2 example 2, the STX moves the reference median 80% of the distance from the old median to the last signal (which triggered the change), based on a DSPfact of 80%. A value of 100% sets the new median to the last signal value; a value of 50% sets the new median halfway between the old median and the last signal value. Note that DSPfact does not affect the change caused by a signal falling outside the Step window, as shown in example 1 in Figure 8-2. The default is 80%. Trk (track) Tracking provides the ability to reject sensor drift and other related long-term errors while preserving the displayed and output weight’s stability and accuracy. Discrimination between material movement and sensor drift is accomplished by calculating the rate of change of Chapter 8. MVS-STX Service Menu the sensor input signal every ten seconds, and comparing this rate to a user-defined threshold rate. The STX stops tracking when the rate of change exceeds the threshold rate, indicating that material is actually moving. Additionally, discrimination between slow material loss (such as from a leak) or gain and sensor drift is accomplished by comparing the total drift to a drift limit. The STX limits the maximum correction to this limit, so tracking does not mask real material loss/gain. There are two aspects to tracking — zero tracking and material tracking. See Figure 8-3: • Zero tracking establishes a user-defined window around the voltage associated with zero live load. When the raw voltage falls inside the window (usually indicating a negligible amount of material in the vessel) and the rate of change is below the threshold rate, the corrected voltage and counts remain constant as those associated with zero live load, and the displayed weight remains at zero. The correction is done by the algebraic addition of a correction offset value to the A/D converter output. If the raw voltage falls outside the window on the negative side, the STX resets the zero calibration point to that raw voltage, and sets the window around the new zero calibration point. Unlike Zclmp (see Chapter 5, MVS-STX Display Menu), zero tracking affects setpoints, current output, and serial output as well as the channel monitoring display. mV Zero Window live load voltage Window Accumulated drift within Material Tracking drift limit Accumulated drift within Material Tracking drift limit Corrected voltage Raw voltage Drift within Zero Tracking Window Time Rate of change within threshold — material not moving Rate of Rate of change change within threshold exceeds — material not threshold — moving material moving Figure 8-3.
