JPH0197820A - Electronic rate weigher - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain simply an electronic weigher for a specified country as occasion demands, by providing a setting means of inputting a specific password set for each country and reading specifications of the country coincident with the password out of a memory to use as specifications. CONSTITUTION:A weigher 1 constructed of a weight/electric signal converter such as a load cell is connected to CPU 2. In addition to RAM 3, a printing buffer 4, etc., a memory 5 wherein specifications for separate countries are set beforehand and a memory 6 for setting the specifications for a specified country are connected to the CPU 2. In the memory 5, the specifications of weighing, accuracy, unit prices, a tare clear system, etc. are stored in accordance with the specifications for each country. When the specifications for a desired country are read out of the memory 5 and transferred into the memory 6 by a keyboard 10 in this constitution, the weigher can e used simply as an electronic weigher for the specified country.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic toll scale that converts weight into an electrical signal to obtain a measured value.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In general, this type of electronic fare scale has its specifications set for each country of destination, and only has specifications for one country. Therefore, even if the RAM is cleared, the specifications for that country are automatically set during initial settings.

Problem that the invention attempts to solve: Resetting the electronic fare scale set for a specific Tagawa to another Tagawa means resetting the specifications for the new country, and the settings will be changed. It is extremely difficult and time consuming, subject to errors.

Measures to solve the problem A large number of specifications such as precision, weighing, etc. are set for each country, a memory is provided to store the specifications for each country, a specific password is set for each country, and in the specification setting mode Initial setting means is provided which reads the specifications of the country matching the password from the memory and sets it in the specification memory by inputting the password.

Just by entering a password in the action specification setting mode, the specifications of the country that match the password will be set, so you can easily set the scale for a specific scale as needed. An unspecified electronic fare scale is sufficient, and the destination country can easily reset it to its own country's specifications.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, a weighing section 1 is provided which is configured with a load cell or the like and converts the weight of an object into an electrical signal.
Connected to PU2. Connected to this CPU 2 are a program memory 3 made up of RAM, a print buffer 4, and a memory 5 in which specifications for each image are preset.
and a specification memory 6 in which specifications for a specific country are set.

Further, a ■/○ block 7 is connected to the CPU 2, and a thermal printer 8, a display device 9, and a keyboard 1O are connected to this I10 block 7, respectively.

The specifications set in the memory 5 differ depending on the country, but examples of this item include accuracy, weighing, range switching, unit price base, unit price/price. Decimal point position, unit price input method, unit price clear for 3 seconds, unit price auto clear, unit price save,
These include zero lamp lighting conditions, zero range, maximum display weight, presence or absence of motion detection, presence or absence of weight display lock, specifications after scanning, tare clear method, auto clear conditions, tare auto clear, tare save, tare setting, etc.

In such a configuration, a slide switch (not shown) is provided on the scale body to set various modes, and by operating this slide switch, the weighing mode, setting mode, and other modes are set. Now, if the slide switch is set to rPROMJ, it will be in setting mode. Then, the user presses the FROM key provided on the keyboard 10. With such operations,
First, the RAM clear mode is entered, and various RAMs are cleared. If the user presses the C key, the RAM clearing process ends, but when setting country-specific specifications, a password determined for each country must be entered. That is, this password is, for example, US for the United States, CA for Canada, and MX for Mexico.

Then, when rUSJ is pressed on the keyboard 10, the specifications set for the United States are read out from the memory 5 by the initial setting means, input into the specification memory 6, and set for the United States. Similarly, if you press rCAJ, it will be set for Canada, and if you press rMXJ, it will be set for Mexico.

After the specification settings for a specific country are set as initial settings in this way, the specification setting process is ended by operating the C key.

In addition, in implementation, specifications of a larger number of countries may be recorded in the memory 5, and the number of countries that can be recorded in the specification memory 6 may be increased by the initial setting means.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a memory in which a large number of specifications such as precision, weighing, etc. are set for each country, and stores the specifications for each country, and a specific password is set for each country. We have provided an initial setting means that, by inputting the password in the setting mode, reads out the specifications of the country that matches the password from the memory and sets it in the specification memory, so you can easily set the scale for a specific scale as needed. As a result, even if the electronic price scale is manufactured without specifications specified, it can be easily reset to the specifications of the country of destination at the destination, and the specifications can also be easily changed. It is something.
