siwarex m - how much is 1/4 d ?

[girevik]

Hello,

i have a question about using siwarex m weight module in Step 7. According to the manual, it seems like I get a true value in bit "status.zero" (in siwarex DB) when the current weight is less than 1/4 d, but how much is 1/4 d - what is this, and is there any way to change this value?

thanks!

still have not figured out the clear answer, so if anyone would explain what does "1/4 d zero" mean, this would be great..

thanks

Just a wild guess....

I don't about "status.zero" but....

I would imagine a 1/4d zero status bit would =1 after a "set to zero" command to the module and stay on until this wasn't true anymore.

Check the state of this bit against the state of the ->0<- LED on the front of the module

thanks for your reply, krk...

it looks like you are right, this bit is activated after the "set to zero" command.

so thanks again..

i just was mistakely thinking that it probably stay true everytime the current weight is less than certain value i.e. current weight is near zero (without set to zero command).

thanks
