Section 1: General Information

1.1. Description
The FB2550 is a modular designed instrument. The instrument is configurable and upgradable through the use of printed circuit modules, each of which will provide a specific scale or I/O functionality to the weighing system. The FB2550 instrument has three enclosure styles, desktop, panel mount, and rack mount. Each FB2250 instrument consists of five (5) main hardware components. These hardware components are:
Single Board Computer

This is the main instrument and graphical interface controller. The weighing application resides on the Single Board Computer (SBC). Communication between the SBC and the expansion modules are routed through the Expansion Board. Communications from the SBC to the Expansion Board is USB. On the expansion board, the communication is converted to 4 independent RS-232 ports which is the interface to each of the modules plugged in to the expansion board.
Multi-Function Board
This is the main user input controller board. This board will look like a USB keyboard input device when plugged in to the Single Board Computer (SBC) as well as provide a means for 20 mA output and redundant storage. The main functions handled by this board are: USB keyboard input, Keypad Matrix input and touch screen input. The output function for this board is 20 mA, a limited number of GPIO and redundant memory micro SD storage.
Expansion Board
The Expansion Board provides power and data communications lines to any expansion module supported by the FB2550. Each Expansion Board contains slots for four (4) modules. A maximum of two (2) Expansion Boards can be installed to provide a maximum of 8 expansion modules slots per instrument. Any FB2550 can be easily field upgraded with a second Expansion Board.
Expansion Modules
Expansion modules provide the physical connectivity between the FB2550 and all scale and peripheral I/O devices. There are two types of expansion modules; scale interface and I/O. The Scale Interface provides the communications interface to Fairbanks Intalogix Technology and Analog components. The I/O Output type expansion modules, Serial Port Expansion, 4-20mA, and Digital Relay, are limited to the installation of only two cards of this type per instrument. Each is an intelligent device, consisting of a processor, a communication node (RS-232), and non-volatile memory to store configuration or set-up data.
05/2011 8 51254 Rev. 1
Both Scale and I/O Expansion Modules will communicate with the Single Board Computer (SBC) via the Expansion board. The communications from the SBC to the Expansion board is USB which is then converted to four RS232 ports where the communication path continues to each of the expansion modules.

Footnote: Any combination of 8 modules can be installed however; the maximum is 8 modules with restrictions applying for the maximum number of module kit type.
Intalogix Power Supply and Communications Board

An Intalogix power supply and communications board has been designed specifically for the FB2550 instrument. This board will provide scale power and communications to the platform. Communications to this board will be via the Scale Interface Controller (SIC) module plugged in to the Expansion board.
Note: Any combination of 8 modules can be installed however, the maximum is 8 modules. Restrictions apply for the maximum number of module

FB2550 output data format to Gateway: The gateway will take a serial string and remap the data to the format needed for the field bus type installed per the register. The following is the definition of the serial string for one (1) scale. The scale ID is extracted from status word 0 and the data is placed in the appropriate field bus registers based on this scale ID. Status word data is sent as binary values MSB first over the serial channel. Weight data is sent as 6 characters representing a 6 digit decimal value (000000 999999). This decimal value represents the weight multiplied by the scale factor listed in command/status word 1 bits 0-2. The serial string is a fixed length of 57 bytes.

Note weight values sent over the serial channel will be represented in the field bus registers based on the settings of bits 14 and 15 in status word 0. If the data is set to be a 16 bit or 32 bit integer, then the register value will contain the integer value and the host must multiply this by the scale factor to get the actual weight. (If it is set to be a 16 bit integer and the integer value is greater then 65535 a value of 0 is placed in the register). If the data is set to be floating point, then the gateway will multiply the integer value received by the scale factor and place the resulting 32 bit floating point value in the register. In this case the host does not use the scale factor to interpret the value.

FB2550 input data format from Gateway The Gateway will send a string to the serial port reflecting data from the field bus. The following is the definition of the serial string for one (1) scale. The scale ID in the field bus register for Command word 0 for a scale must be set to the correct value (14) before data for that scale will be sent over the serial channel. If the scale ID is set to the correct value, any time any data for this scale changes the data will be sent out the serial channel. Command word data is sent as binary values MSB first over the serial channel. Weight data is sent as 6 characters representing a 6 digit decimal value (000000 999999). This decimal value represents the weight multiplied by the scale factor listed in command/status word 1 bits 0-2. The serial string is a fixed length of 105 bytes. STX character Command word 0 Command word 1 Command word 2 Setpoint 1 weight Setpoint 2 weight Tare Weight Display Message 1 Display Message 2 Display Message 3 CRC ETX character 1 byte, (02h) 2 bytes, (includes scale ID) 2 bytes, 2 bytes, 6 characters, 6 characters, 6 characters, 26 characters, 26 characters, 26 characters, 1 byte, 1 byte (03h)
Note weight values sent over the serial channel will represent data in the field bus registers based on the settings of bits 14 and 15 in status word 0. If the data is set to be a 16 bit or 32 bit integer, then the integer value in the register will be sent over the serial channel. (If it is set to be 16 bit the high order word will be ignored). If the data is set to be floating point, then the floating point value will be multiplied by the scale factor and the integer portion of this resulting value will be sent over the serial channel. In all cases if the resulting integer is greater then 999999, a value of 000000 will be sent over the serial channel. In all cases the scale must multiply the integer by the scale factor to determine the actual weight.
