5-1. Final discharge control
Final discharge control is a procedure to control discharge of raw material for each final from tanks such
as hoppers. One final can be accurately discharged by combining appropriately the control settings of
final/set point 2/set point 1/compensation, judging settings of over/under/go, and timer settings such as
comparison inhibit, judging and so forth. For weighing procedures, there are feed weighing and
discharge weighing, and for control procedures, there are simple comparison control and sequence
control.

10 Troubleshooting
10-1. Over scale display

Display Error name Error content/countermeasures
Signals that exceed the FC400 signal input range are
input. Confirm that the load cell output does not
A/D converter exceed the span calibration range and that the cable
input over connecting the FC400 to the load cell is not
disconnected. This may also appear if nothing is
connected to the load cell input on the terminal block.
Signals lower than the signal input range of the FC400
are input. Confirm that the load cell output is not
A/D converter below the span calibration range and that the cable
minus over connecting the FC400 to the load cell is not
disconnected. This may also appear if nothing is
connected to the load cell input on the terminal block.
Net weight value exceeds the net over setting value.
In order to return to a normal weight display from this
Net weight over over scale display, reduce the input signal from the
load cell until the over scale display disappears, or
change the net over setting value.
Gross weight value exceeds the gross over setting
value. In order to return to a normal weight display
Gross over from this over scale display, reduce the input signal
from the load cell until the over scale display
disappears, or change the gross over setting value.
Digital zero is executed with a gross weight exceeding
the DZ regulation value. Change the DZ regulation
