Brief Description of the Chip Card Module
Introduction
The chip card module belongs to the family of seca electronic modules and is used to write data to and
to read data from chip cards. It works together with the extended display module which contains the
operating functions for chip card handling.
The following block diagram shows the most important function blocks of the module:
µC
SeSAM Bus
reset-
circuit
crystal
oscillator
chipcard contact
signal transmitter
Chip card contact
Lowering contacts are used for the card allowing 200 000 insertion cycles. It can communicate with all
memory cards with an extended I²C bus which have been configured according to the memory
structure defined by seca.
Power supply
The required voltage of 3V is supplied via the SeSAM bus.
SeSAM bus
The SeSAM bus connects the module to the other modules. On this bus the stabilized and non-
stabilized supply voltages are available. All relevant data is exchanged via a data and a clock pulse
line. The scale can be switched on or the module can signal that it wishes to send data via a special
start line.
Signal transmitter
The chip card module is equipped with a signal transmitter. It can be activated via software if the
display module used does not have a signal transmitter. A piezo diaphragm is used which is controlled
with a 4 kHz square-wave signal.
Reset circuit
If the supply voltage is applied or the start key is pressed for longer than 10 seconds, a reset signal for
the micro controller is generated.
Fault handling
If faults occur, the SeSAM bus initiates a fault message with the relevant fault code. Furthermore, each
fault message includes the number of the module type on which the fault has occurred and a code
which indicates how long the message is to stay on display and which displays are to be suppressed.
The module type for the chip card module is 5.
The module can generate the following faults:

30 General bus fault
32 Command buffer full
50 Rom checksum fault
52 Chip card not valid
100 Note, chip card saving
Time base
From the quartz’s 4.19MHz a time base is derived which controls all timed processes in the scale.
These are, for instance, various timeouts. If a clock module is connected, the seconds to the next full
minute are automatically counted up.
Data on the chip card
Default settings for the upper limit and the pre-tare function as well as the body height as the initial
value for the body mass index and the ideal weight can be stored on the card. Measured values for
subsequent evaluation at the PC can also be registered on the smart card.
Additionally, information about the chip card's owner can be stored on the card, which is required for
evaluation at the PC but is ignored by the scale.
Functions
The functionality of the chip card is programmed in the measured value detection module using an
EEPROM entry. This entry always takes effect if no other functionality is given by the chip card.
If you insert the chip card into the scale, the scale is started automatically. In addition, one of the menu
functions can immediately be displayed if required. The default setting retrieved from the card can be
edited in advance if required.
The chip card can also be used to restrict the functions of the scale to be used by the owner and it can
be determined which data can be saved at what time.

Servicing seca electronic modules
seca electronic modules allow you to measure the signals of the weight sensor and to display the
weight values resulting from this. Depending on the design of the scale, both functions can be
combined on one module or distributed on different modules.
The configuration and adjustment data is stored on the module to which the weight sensor will be
connected. If this module is replaced, the replacement module must be configured and adjusted. This
is done using a PC configuration program called “serva”. Modules that only perform display functions
can simply be replaced.
When accumulator batteries are connected to the relevant connections, these batteries are charged
by the power supply unit with a 40 mA trickle charging current. Therefore make sure never to connect
batteries to the connections provided for accumulator batteries as the batteries would be destroyed by
the charging current and run out.
If, instead of the original seca power supply unit, a power supply unit is used that supplies an output
voltage of more than 12V, the electronics can be destroyed. Warning: There are many 12V power
supply units that supply more than 12V if there is no sufficient load on them. Therefore make sure only
to use original seca power supply units. If the electronics module was damaged as a result of a wrong
type of power supply unit being used, it must be replaced. Electronics that were damaged in this way
will usually draw so much current from the power supply unit that the power supply unit will cease to
function after a short while.
Identifying defective load cells
If you assume that a load cell may be defective, it is not always easy, especially on scales with four
load cells, to determine which of them is faulty.
In many cases a digital multimeter will help.
Unsolder the load cells you suspect to be faulty one after the other and measure the resistance
between the different connecting leads. On load cells that are typically used in scales with four load
cells the reading should be approx. 1200Ωbetween the supply connections, approx. 1000Ωbetween
the outputs and approx. 850Ωbetween a supply line and an output line. For platform load cells which
are typically fitted in scales with just one load cell, the readings should be approx. 1/3 of these values.
It is even easier to determine which load cell is defective if an oscilloscope is available. As grounding
contact you can use the grounding connection of the power supply unit, battery or accumulator
battery. Use the measuring head to measure the operational amplifier’s output signal at pin 7 of the 8-
leg IC with the number 2051 or 1112 printed on it. Make sure to pierce the paint with the test probe.
On the oscilloscope you should now see recurrent ramps starting from a 2.5V line, the height of which
depends on the load on the load cells. When you press on a load cell, the corresponding ramp
increases. If load cells are defective, this is usually easy to identify. Some distort the signal to such an
extent that the ramps no longer start at 2.5V. If you press on all cells in succession you will see which
cell responds as it should and which cell causes an incorrect signal.

Description of the calibration mode for scales with modularDescription of the calibration mode for scales with modular
electronicselectronics
General:General:
Seca scales with modular electronics are fitted with a software-controlled calibration device
that is operated using the existing controls. This device can be used to recalibrate the
scales or to set the scales to different GAL values. During development of the calibration
device, special attention was paid to the following requirements:
• It must be possible to recalibrate the scales without any additional external
equipment/tools.
• It must be possible to calibrate the calibration device.
• It must be possible to recalibrate the scales without calibrated test weights.
• The calibration device shall be protected against inadvertent use.
Calibration counterCalibration counter
The scales fitted with the new, modular electronics are equipped with a calibration counter
allowing a software recalibration to be carried out according to the requirements for
calibrated scales. To carry out such a recalibration, the calibration counter setting can be
called up on the display of the scales and compared to the data given on the calibration
label mark (applies only for calibrated products). If the values are identical, the scales are
calibrated; whereas differing values match the situation of a broken calibration seal. Each
completed recalibration procedure is registered by the calibration counter, i.e. the number is
automatically incremented by 1.
Recalibrating the scalesRecalibrating the scales
Before the scales can be recalibrated, they must be switched to the calibration mode:
To do so, switch on the scales using the appropriate control. While doing so, simultaneously
press another control key (for example, the kg/lbs key). This causes the contents of the
calibration counter (i.e. the number of calibration procedures carried out so far) to be
displayed for five seconds (flashing).
During the 5 seconds the contents is displayed, press the kg/lbs key again and keep it
depressed (for more than 1.5 seconds) to switch the scales to the calibration mode.
If the kg/lbs key is not pressed within these 5 seconds, the scales are automatically
switched back to normal weighing operation.
When switched to the calibration mode, the scales first are in a decrementing state. This
state is indicated by a flashing "dec" that alternates with the currently measured weight.
Now place a test weight onto the scales. This test weight should have a weight of at least
25% of the maximum permissible load for the weight (we recommend a weight of approx.
66-75%). The weight shown on the display must match the test weight; otherwise, the
scales are maladjusted and the recalibration procedure must carried out in full length. To do
so, change the weight shown on the display using the kg/lbs key until it matches the test
weight.
If the value shown on the display differs from the test weight (if not, recalibration is not
required), estimate whether the required nominal weight is easier to reach by decrementing
or by incrementing. To toggle from the decrementing mode to the incrementing mode or
vice versa, press the kg/lbs key for more than 1.5 seconds (display indicates dec or inc).

Pressing the kg/lbs key for less than 1.5 seconds causes the weight shown on the display
to be increased or decreased by 10 g (depending on the mode currently selected). As the
resolution of the display is lower, the displayed value will not necessarily be increased or
decreased each time the kg/lbs key is pressed. Repeat the above procedure until the
displayed weight and the test weight match. Set the scales to the middle between two
division values by additionally incrementing or decrementing the value by n=d/(2*10). The
calibration process can now be completed by pressing the kg/lbs key for at least five
seconds. The scales compute and store a new linearity coefficient and will then be switched
off automatically. The scales are now calibrated. Remove the test weight.
Note:
To prevent improper calibration by improper use, a timeout control has been implemented
in the calibration mode, i.e. the time that passes until the next key is pressed must never
exceed five seconds.
However, this timeout control is only active for the phase when switching to the calibration
mode.
If, during this phase, 5 seconds have passed and no key has been pressed, the scales are
automatically restored to the weighing mode so that the procedure must be repeated.
To reduce calibration errors to a minimum, recalibration is only possible using a test weight
of more than 25% and less than 100% of the max. load; otherwise, “Er:0:15” will appear
on the display.
If the scales need to be set to a different GAL value, the displayed value must be matched
to the test weight value adapted to the GAL value correction.
Example of a recalibration procedure:
The selected test weight is 100 kg.
The current weight shown on the display is 99.7 kg (max. difference of 300 g).
In this example, you must switch the scales to the incrementing mode to carry out the
recalibration procedure. After the kg/lbs key has been pressed (for more than 1.5 seconds),
a flashing "inc" is shown.
Now increase the value by the first 10 g (by briefly pressing the kg/lbs key). After this has
been done thirty times, the value 100.0 (rounded!) appears on the display although the
internal measured value still is 99.95 kg (not rounded!).
To correct this rounding error, increase the value by another 10 g to get exactly 100.00 as
the calculated value.
Terminate the recalibration procedure as described above.

Summary of a typical recalibration sequence:Summary of a typical recalibration sequence:
Action carried out by the user Result
The scales are switched off. No values or characters on the display.
Press the kg/lbs key and keep it depressed
while simultaneously pressing the start key. The contents of the calibration counter is shown on the display for 5 seconds
(flashing).
Release both keys. The contents of the calibration counter is
shown on the display for 5 seconds
(flashing).
Press the kg/lbs key for more than
1.5 seconds within the next 5 seconds. The system switches to the calibration mode: first "dec" appears on the display (flashing)
and then the current weight (0.0 - also
flashing).
5 seconds have passed and no key has
been pressed. The scales are switched back to normal weighing operation.
Place the test weight onto the scales. The measured weight of the test weight
appears on the display (flashing).
Decide whether to decrement or to
increment:
Incrementing:
Press the kg/lbs key for more than 1.5
seconds.
Decrementing:
No action required as the scales are already
in the dec mode.
The incrementing mode is activated; "inc"
appears on the display.
No output on the display.
Decrementing or incrementing:
Again briefly press the kg/lbs key (for less
than 1.5 seconds).
The measured weight is decreased or
increased by 10 g. Please remember that
pressing the key does not always change the
value on the display due to the low display
resolution. Only the rounded value is given.
Repeat this step until the measured weight
matches the test weight (format: xx.0 kg). The display indicates the test weight (format: xx.0 kg).
To correct this rounding error, decrement or
increment the value five times by another
10 g.
The display output does not change the first
four times.
After the fifth time the value has been
decremented or incremented, the measured
weight appears; it now matches the test
weight.
The display indicates the exact test weight
(format: xx.00 kg).
Press the kg/lbs key for at least 5 seconds
until the system is switched off. The display does not show any characters or values any more.
