Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a battery charge balance having different specifications set for each country.

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional electronic toll scale, in order to set different specifications for each country, each specification item is switched by a display switch or is input by a remote key or a panel key.

According to the problem to be solved by the invention, it is necessary for a human to perform setting work for all electronic toll scales, which requires a considerable amount of time, and
Occurrence of input errors is inevitable.

Means for solving the problem Specification item storage means for storing the contents of the stored specification items even when the power is turned off and for reading the contents stored in the weighing mode, as well as the price rounding method, date sequence or currency. The specification items such as symbols and status codes indicating the specific contents of these specification items are set, and a status table in which the status code for each specification item is set using the country code of each country as an index, Country code input means formed by the provided key operation section, status code calling means for calling the status code of each specification item corresponding to the country code based on the input country code, and called The setting means stores the status code in the specification item storage means.

By setting the status table in advance, you can store the status code for each specification item corresponding to that country code in the specification item storage means by entering the country code from the keyboard, and the setting operation is easy In addition, there is no input error.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the electronic charge balance 1 has a built-in CPU 2, and the contents of the CPU 2 are retained even when the power is turned off. The memory 3 and RAM (random access memory) 4 and ROM (read-on memory) 5
And are connected. The memory 3 is a non-volatile RAM or E
It is composed of an EPROM, a battery-backed-up RAM, and the like, and has an area for storing the contents of specification items in order to function as specification item storage means.

Further, the CPU 2 is connected to a scale unit 6 including a load cell, a printer unit 7 is connected via a printer controller 8, and a key operation unit 9 including a keyboard provided in the main body of the electronic fee scale 1 is connected. The display unit 11 is connected via the key controller 10 and the display unit 11 is connected via the display controller 12.

Then, the status table shown in Table 1 is set. That is, this status table is
NL (Netherlands), BE (Belgium), SA (South Africa), AU
(Australia) ……… country codes are arranged,
01 (SZR LP), 00 (SNT MN), 03 (SPi NT), 02 (S
iN TLK) ………… and other specifications are arranged. At the intersection of these country codes and specification items,
The status codes shown in the table are set.

That is, this status code defines the contents of the specification item for each specification item, and in Table 2, for the sake of convenience, specification item 08 (SPR CE) “price rounding”, 09
(SDA TS) "Date sequence", OA (STA Ni) "Simultaneous label unit simultaneous printing", OB (SMO NY) "Currency symbol" are shown only in four items.

For example, with status code 0, specification item 08 (SPR C
E) "Price Marume" content is "See date switch"
The contents of other specification items are not set.

For status code 1, specification item 08 (SPR CE)
The content of "Price Marume" is "4 digits below the last digit of the display."
Rounding off, 09 (SDA TS) "Date order" content is "year, month and day", OA (STA Ni) "Weighing label unit simultaneous printing" content is "No simultaneous printing", OB (SMO N
Y) The content of the "monetary symbol" is "f".

Furthermore, in status code 2, the specification item 08 (SPR C
E) The content of "Price Marume" is "4 digits below the last digit of the display."
After rounding down, the last digit in the display is 2 rounding down, 7 rounding down to 8 ", and the content of 09 (SDA TS)" Date order "is" Day / Month / Year ".
The content of OA (STA Ni) "Simultaneous label unit simultaneous printing" is "Kg printing next to weight", and the content of OB (SMO NY) "Money symbol" is "F". In this way, 16 types of status codes 2 from 0 to F are set in order.

In such a configuration, the specification for the destination country of the electronic toll scale 1 is set as shown in FIG.
That is, when the specifications are not set, but the weighing is performed, the setting is switched to a state in which the setting can be performed by a mode switch (not shown). Then, the status is displayed by the status display program. Next, the mode is changed to the gravity correction mode. In this mode, if the gravity correction data is keyed in and the mode is switched again, the data will be returned and the national mode display will be displayed. In this country-specific mode display, the keyboard is operated to key-in the data of each country's specifications, and when the mode is switched, the data is carriage returned and the display is the first status display. By keying in the data of the specifications of each country, the specification items shown in Table 1 are collectively input and stored in the memory 3 of each electronic charge balance 1.

For example, in the country specification mode display, if the country code input by the country code input means executed by keyboard operation is "NL (Netherlands)",
The specification items in the NL section are entered together. Where the second
Explaining some of the specification items shown in the table as an example, specification item 08 (SPR CE) “Price Marume” has the status code set to “1” in Table 1, so the specifications in Table 2 The content of the item "round down one digit below the display lowest digit" is called by the status code calling means, and the content is inputted and stored in the memory 3 by the setting means. Also, in 09 (SDA TS) "Date order", the status code is "2", so as described above, the status code calling means and the setting means
The content of the specification item "year" is called and stored. In addition, OA (STA Ni) "simultaneous printing of measurement label units"
Since the status code is "1", "no simultaneous printing"
The content of the specification item is called and stored. Further, in the OB (SMO NY) "monetary symbol", since the status code is "1", the content of the specification item "f" is called and stored.

In this way, an extremely large number of specification items can be collectively called and stored only by using the country code, so that it is possible to input in a short time.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, the present invention retains the contents of the stored specification items even when the power is turned off and reads out the contents stored in the weighing mode, and the price rounding method and date. A status table in which specification items such as order or currency symbols and status codes indicating the specific contents of these specification items are set, and the status code for each specification item is set using the country code of each country as an index. A country code input means formed by the key operation unit provided in the main body, and a status code calling means for calling a status code for each specification item corresponding to the country code based on the input country code, Since the status code that has been called is stored in the specification item storage means, the status code If the table is set in advance, the status code for each specification item corresponding to the country code can be stored in the specification item storage means by inputting the country code from the keyboard, and the setting operation is easy. At the same time, there is an effect that no input error occurs.
