Introduction 1
1.0 Introduction
The 1280 Enterprise Series is a color touchscreen, programmable, multi-channel digital weight indicator/controller.
Manufactured with industrial-grade components, the 1280 is built to achieve top performance, even in harsh
environments. The 1280 features a Freescale i.MX6 microprocessor, Linux-based operating system and 1 GB
onboard memory (expandable with micro SD card). Configuration can be performed using the front panel, serial
commands or Revolution®scale software.
Custom programs can be written with iRite®, a domain-based programming language based off of Basic, Pascal
and Ada—empowering programmers to customize display widgets, store and retrieve data with the onboard
database, and utilize the 150+ built-in-functions. From tailored basic weighing to complex process automation, the
1280 delivers uncompromising speed for today’s most demanding applications as well as vast expandability for
future needs.

Introduction 11
1.11 Applications
The 1280 can be used in a variety of applications, including checkweighing, counting, recipe batching and truck
in/out. For these frequently used applications, the 1280 includes built-in programs that can be used as-is or
customized for specific needs. See the 1280 Technical Manual for more information on importing and exporting
built-in application programs.
1.11.1 Checkweigher Application
The checkweigher application is included with the 1280 standard firmware. This application is a static
checkweigher with a stored low and high weight associated with an ID. A digital output is activated based on the
status of the weight. The digital output stores the ID, weight, status (under, accept, or over) and time/date in a
database. The print key can be pressed to print the last transaction’s ID, weight, status and time/date. Two softkeys
are available: Item and Setup Menu.
Select an Item
1. Press the Item softkey.
2. System prompts Enter ID to Checkweigh. Enter a stored ID with associated low and high weights.
3. The ID, low and high weights are displayed and the system waits for the threshold to be triggered.
Checkweigh
1. When the weight exceeds the threshold weight, the indicator checks that an ID was selected. If an ID has not
be selected, the system does nothing. If an ID has been selected, the system waits for standstill and compares
the gross or net weight (whichever mode Scale 1 is currently in) against the low and high weights.
• If the weight is less than the low weight, the system displays Under and turns on the Under output.
• If the weight is more than the high weight, the system displays Over and turns on the Over output.
• If the weight is more than the low weight and less than the high weight, the system displays Accept and
turns on the Accept output.
2. A record will be stored to the database with the ID, the weight, the status (under, accept or over) and
time/date.

will remain; and all digital outputs will turn off.

•Display program name and version
•Display a weight widget

System Password “” Setup Password Allows an operator to change the password that is required for entry into the
Setup Menu. If the password is set to nothing, the system will not prompt
for a password when the Setup Menu softkey is pressed.

weight values.
Delete Items -Database Setup-
> Delete Items
Allows an operator to delete stored IDs that are no longer used.
Threshold Weight 100 lb Threshold Weight When the threshold weight is exceeded, the system checks if an ID has
been selected. If an ID has been selected, the system will wait for standstill
before reading the weight and categorizing it based on low or high weight.
Additionally, if the weight goes below the threshold weight, the system will
clear out the last weighment information and turn off the output.
Auto Print Feature Disabled Auto Print Allows an operator to enable/disable the auto print feature.
Digital I/O Testing -More-> I/O Test
Screen
Allows an operator to turn on or off digital outputs.
1.11.2 Counting Application
The 1280 counting application is included with the 1280 standard firmware. This application has two scales, one
for sampling and one for counting. Upon startup, the softkeys Sample Size, Scale Select, APW, Clear Tare and Setup
Menu are available.
Select Sample Size
1. Press the Sample Size softkey. The sample size will toggle to five pieces. If pressed again it will toggle to 10
pieces, then 20, then 50, then 100, then 200, then back to five.
2. Press Sample Size once to enter Sample Size Mode. Press a numeric key followed by the Enter key to enter any
number as the sample size (instead of toggling to one of the choices listed above).
3. Once the correct sample size is displayed in the softkey, press Enter to calculate theAPW based on the current
weight, current scale and current sample size. The number of pieces will display. This number is continuously
updated as the weight or scale selected changes.
Select Scale
1. Press the Scale Select softkey to switch between scales.
2. There are two scales available. Typically one is used for sampling (smaller capacity) and one is used for
counting (larger capacity). This application works the same for both scales, or if only one scale is used for
both sampling and counting. The piece count is always referencing the current scale that is displayed.
Enter APW
Press the APW softkey to enter a new knownAPW for the current part.
Counting Pieces
The number of pieces will display. This number is continuously updated as the weight, scale selected or mode
selected changes. This includes adding pieces or removing pieces, as well as going to a negative net as pieces are
removed from a net zero weight. For example, if a full box was placed on the scale, Tare was pressed to tare off the
weight to net zero, and then the count pieces were removed, the scale would display a negative number.
