SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Omega system can consist of multiple rack units. Each rack unit consists of:
•A Bus unit.
•One power supply.
•One CPU module.
•Up to 8 weigher or I/O modules.
•Unused slots are covered by a dummy module.
CONNECTING POWER
The Omega system uses a 24VDC nominal power supply. The applied voltage should be between 18 and
36Volts.
Two power connections are provided. Both connections are wired identically to provide power to the next unit
in a multiple unit system.

CONNECTING A LAPTOP
A laptop for initial setup can be connected to the USB3 connection of the CPU module. This requires a USB-A to
Mini USB-B cable.
Alternately, a laptop can be connected to Ethernet 2.

CONNECTING TO THE FACTORY NETWORK
FIRST POWER UP
After applying power, the unit starts up. The OK led on the CPU lights up RED while in boot mode.
After a few seconds this LED blinks green in a heartbeat pattern to show that the application is running. After
approximately 1,5 minutes the SD/INT LED stops flashing, and the unit is ready.
CONNECTING TO THE OMEGA
ETHERNET
When the laptop is connected to the Ethernet 2 port, the Omega will supply an IP address. Open your web
browser (Edge, Chrome, Safari or Firefox) and type the address 10.1.2.1. This will open the Omega web
interface.
When connected to the Ethernet 1 port, the factory LAN must supply an IP address through DHCP.
USB
When the laptop is connected to the USB3 port, the PC will add a network adapter device over USB. Open your
web browser (Edge, Chrome, Safari or Firefox) and type the address 10.54.32.1. This will open the Omega web
interface.

This example contains:
•dual loadcell and digital io module
•Digital I/O module
•Analog I/O module
Only the loadcell inputs are used to show a weight.
When a weigher is shown as “------” the following things can be wrong:
•No loadcell is connected.
•The loadcell is Wired wrong.
•Weight is above the maximum load.
•Weight is below the minimum load.
•The channel is not calibrated.
Click on “Settings”, followed by “Easy Setup”

USING EASY SETUP TO CALIBRATE WEIGHERS
Now click on the “SETTINGS” for the “Dual Channel Loadcell Digital Outputs(1-1-1)” to start the setup for
channel 1 of the first card.
The display tab shows that this channel has no valid weight “-------”
The Weigher settings tab allows changing the maximum load, display step, decimal point position and the
weight unit. The weigher can be configured to show up to 3000 counts for certified installation or up to 10.000
counts for non-certified installations. Step sizes larger than 1 can be used to reduce the number of counts. Set
the maxload and decimal point accordingly.
