•remote display
•functions via digital inputs and outputs
As an additional external weighing point, a PR1720 can be connected to the DIOs card
Due to programmability (licence PR1750/10) writing individual applications or matching the exi-
sting ones is easy.
Program package 'Filtering and controlling' (licence) can be used for controlling continuous weighing
processes.

2.3 Operating concept
The PR1713 operation is menu-guided. For this purpose, the unit has a 'softkey'-functionality as with
PR1615. Below the display, there are three 'softkeys', which can be provided with 6-letter inscriptions
via the lower display line. The normal operation is very easy also without manual.
Keys for taring, untaring, zero setting, printing out, display of gross and net, three definable function
keys and a stop key are located below the softkeys.
15 keys for alphanumeric entry are located on the right side.

Status
All functions shall be accessible for the user with as few keys as possible. Thereby, selecting flexible
menus and submenus, finding an entry from a list and entry of alphanumeric texts must be possible.
The three modes of entry/selection for the different requirements are
•Menu selection with three soft-
keys: , and . Inscription text fields separated by small
triangles are displayed:
'clear
show
print'
•Selecting an entry from a list by
'scrolling' The actually selected function is displayed
with two arrows.

2.3.1 Operation via 'soft'-key
Each menu has a list of functions, which can be selected via softkeys.
Three functions are displayed at a time. Selecting a
function via 'softkeys' is displayed by two small triangles between
the inscription text fields (
).
If more than three functions can be selected, double tri-
angles are displayed.
Display of the next three selectable functions is by pres-
sing key 'more'.
A menu item can be left with 'quit'. The operation is continued at the next higher level.

2.3.2 Selecting from selection boxes
An entry in a variable list can be selected by scrolling. If necessary, this list can be limited
by preselection (e.g. all names starting with 'A').
In the display, this type of selection is shown by two special characters left and right from
the selected
!
text
!
. Consequently, the overall list can be scrolled.
As scrolling would require pressing too many keys
with very long lists, the list entry can be entered
directly with the alphanumeric keys. Thereby, only
as many letters of the list entry as required for
identifying it clearly is need being entered, or until
the number of possible remaining selections is sufficiently low. By entry of alphanumeric characters,
selection from the list is limited and marked by display of a cursor. The cursor position marks the
length of list limitation. However, the overall list entry is always displayed. 'delete' is used to delete
the last character of limitation, until all list entries are selectable again.
Example:

key 'A'

2.3.3 Editing with alphanumeric characters
In the alphanumeric entry mode, a cursor blinks in the entry field. Unless already active, this mode is
accessible by pressing a key from the right keypad of PR1713. Then, the softkeys are without im-
portance.
The arrow keys from the right keypad are used to shift the cursor. Entries and deletings act in
the cursor position.
An alphanumeric key has more than one
significations. After pressing for the first
time, the relevant first signification, e.g.
'A' is displayed in the cursor position. After pres-
sing for the second time, e.g. 'B' instead of 'A' is
displayed; 'C' is displayed after pressing for the third time, etc. After the last signification, the first
one is displayed again. The entry of a character is completed by pressing another character key, or the
arrow keys. The character is removed by pressing key 'del'.
If only numeric values are required for an entry,
letters are not selectable via the editor. Therefore,
values such as 555 can be entered only by pressing
the key successively three times and without using
the arrow key. A decimal point can be entered with
the comma key. If a value has a polarity sign, a pola-
rity sign can be entered by pressing the comma key
in the extreme left position.
With weight values, the unit can be scrolled using
the 'more' key. (g, kg, t, lb)
The single character editor can edit a longer cha-
racter field than the space available for the editor. In
this case, the display field is shifted right and left. In
the last position, the partial character display is re-
presented by special character '…'.
The 'backspace' key deletes the character before the cursor.
An entry can be completed with 'enter'. The changes are stored. The operation is continu-
ed at the next higher level..
The old value from before the change is displayed with 'quit'. By pressing 'quit', the ope-
ration is continued at the next higher level.

The sub-menus with identification (P) are programmed in IEC1131 and can be changed freely with a
programming option by the user.
This uppermost main menu level is fixed in the firmware.

, the fixed tare value can be selected, or the fixed tare number can be selected directly
by pressing the numeric keys. In addition to its number, each entry has its plain text name. The fixed
tare number is selected with 'enter'.
With the fixed tare value selected, the weight display can be
tared with a fixed tare value, the fixed tare value can be edi-
ted, the current gross weight can be loaded and printed out in
the fixed tare memory.
Pressing softkey 'tare' tares the scale with the fixtare value. The display returns to the main menu.
Softkey 'edit' can be used for editing the plain text name and entering the fixed tare weight di-
rectly. The display returns to the selection menu.
Pressing softkey 'weight' stores the current gross weight in the fixed tare memory. In the printout
the value is put in <parentheses>. The display returns to the selection menu.
Pressing softkey 'print' prints out one or all fixed tare
values. The display returns to the selection menu.
•An entry can be completed with 'enter'. The changes are stored.
•The entry is left with 'quit'. When editing a value, the old value is restored. With an unchanged
value, a jump back to fixed tare selection is made.

, the fixed tare value can be selected, or the factor number is selected directly by the
numeric keys. Apart from its number, each entry has a plain text name. The count is updated conti-
nuously. The count factor is selected with 'Enter' .
The properties of the selected factor can be changed, dis-
played or printed out.
By pressing softkey 'set' , a new factor is calibrated.
1) Discharge the hopper: empty bin or plattform and set to zero or tare,
2) Calibrate with a selected number of objects and enter this value. Thereby, the accuracy is the
higher the higher the calibration weight, similar to every calibration.
The display returns to the selection menu.
Softkey 'show' displays the calibration values. The display returns to the selection menu.
Softkey 'print' prints out one or all count factors. The dis-
play returns to the selection menu.
•An entry can be completed with 'enter'. The changes are stored.
•Pressing 'quit' leaves the entry. When editing a value, the old value is restored. With an unchanged
value, the old value is restored. With an unchanged value, a jump back to the fixed tare selection is
made.
