R6: diagnostic register
Status byte SB2 is placed into register R6.
R7: command register
 | User code word For a command to be executed, it is first necessary for the user code word, 0x1235, to be entered into register R31. |
Command 0x0101: user calibration - offset
The KL3356 uses the entry 0x0101 in register R7 to compensate the user offset. The calibration value is entered in register R33.
The calibration value is taken account in weight measuring if bit R32.0 is set.
To execute this command, the user calibration must be active (bit R32.0 and R32.10 must be set)!
Command 0x0102: user calibration - gain
The KL3356 uses the entry 0x0102 in register R7 to compensate the user gain. The calibration value is entered in register R34.
The calibration value is taken account in weight measuring if bit R32.0 is set.
To execute this command, the user calibration must be active (bit R32.0 and R32.10 must be set)!
Command 0x0401: manual calibration mode
Manual calibration mode is enabled by entering 0x0401 into register R7. When the terminal has accepted the value, then setting
Output data word DataOUT1 can be used to change the operation mode of the KL3356.
Command 0x7000: Restore Factory Settings
Entering 0x7000 in register R7 restores the delivery state for the following registers:
R19: 0 | R40: 1800dec |
R8: terminal designation
The name of the terminal is contained in register R8. KL3356: 0x0D1C (3356dec)
R9: firmware version
Register R9 contains the ASCII coding of the terminal's firmware version, e.g. 0x3141 = '1A'. The '0x31' corresponds here to the ASCII character '1', while the '0x41' represents the ASCII character 'A'.
This value cannot be changed.
R16: hardware version number
Register R16 contains the hardware version of the terminal; this value cannot be changed.
R19: manufacturer scaling - offset
This register contains the offset of the manufacturer scaling. Manufacturer scaling can be enabled through R32.1 in the feature register.
R20: manufacturer scaling - gain
This register contains the gain of the manufacturer scaling (16 bit unsigned integer x 2-8 + 1).
Examples:
0x0080 (128dec) means factor 0.5
0x0100 (256dec) means factor 1.0
Manufacturer scaling can be enabled through R32.1 in the feature register.
R31: codeword register
- If you write values into the user registers without first entering the user code word (0x1235) into the code word register, the terminal will not accept the supplied data.
- If you write values into the user registers and have previously entered the user code word (0x1235) in the code word register, these values are stored in the RAM registers and in the SEEPROM registers and are therefore retained if the terminal is restarted.
The code word is reset if the terminal is restarted.

R38: scaling factor
This register contains the scale factor.
Examples:
0x0001 (01dec) means factor 1
0x000A (10dec) means factor 10
The scale factor can be enabled through bit R32.8 in the feature register.
R39: Measuring interval for reference signal
This register contains the measuring interval for the cyclic reference measurement. The unit is 100 ms (default: 3600dec = 360 s). The cyclic reference measurement can be enabled through bit R32.6 in the feature register.
This interval should not be chosen too small. With each measurement of the reference signal, the weight measurement value is temporarily invalidated (consider R0.2). With short measurement intervals, the number of measurements is significantly higher and therefore a low ratio of valid to invalid weight measurement values results with many reference measurements.
If cyclically invalid weight values have too great an influence on the application, the reference measurement and calibrations (calibration and forced calibration) can be switched off via the CB2.1 control bit. Then no reference measurement and calibration will take place permanently. However, it is recommended to reactivate the bit temporarily at a suitable moment, when no weight measurement is taking place, in order to achieve a higher measurement accuracy. If the time for the reference measurement/(forced) calibration interval has expired when the control bit is deactivated, a (forced) calibration and reference measurement is performed.
R40: Calibration interval
This register contains the calibration interval for the terminal's automatic calibration. The unit is 100 ms (default: 1800dec = 180 s). The automatic calibration can be enabled through bit R32.4 in the feature register.
This interval should not be chosen too small. With each calibration, the weight measurement value becomes temporarily invalid (consider R0.2). With short calibration intervals, the number of measurements is significantly higher and therefore a low ratio of valid to invalid weight readings results with many calibrations.
If cyclically invalid weight values have too great an influence on the application, the reference measurement and calibrations (calibration and forced calibration) can be switched off via the CB2.1 control bit. Then no reference measurement and calibration will take place permanently. However, it is recommended to reactivate the bit temporarily at a suitable moment, when no weight measurement is taking place, in order to achieve a higher measurement accuracy. If the time for the reference measurement/(forced) calibration interval has expired when the control bit is deactivated, a (forced) calibration and reference measurement is performed.
R41: Test interval
This register contains the test interval for the terminal's cyclic testing. This interval is always a multiple (default: 3dec) of the calibration interval (R40). The test interval when the terminal leaves the factory is therefore 10 x 180 s = 1800 s. The cyclic testing can be enabled through bit R32.5 in the feature register.
R42: nominal test value
This register contains the terminal's nominal test value.
During the production of the terminal, the actual test value is transferred from register 5 to the nominal test value register R42. This value provides information about a voltage resulting from an internal reference voltage source and a voltage divider.
During a calibration, the system checks whether the value is within the tolerance given by registers R42 and R43. This can be used to determine whether there is an internal defect (e.g. faulty analog switch).
This value may change slightly over time (due to ageing of the electrical components). If necessary, the actual test value of register R5 should therefore be transferred to register R42 from time to time. This can be done safely, because in case of an error the value will approach 0 or 65535.
R43: test tolerance
This register contains the test tolerance of the terminal (+/-).
R44: Forced calibration interval
This register contains the interval for the terminal's forced calibration. This interval is always a multiple (default: 3dec) of the calibration interval (R40). The interval for forced calibration when the terminal leaves the factory is therefore 3 x 180 s = 540 s.
If register R44 is set to 0 set, forced calibration is switched off completely.
With each forced calibration, the weight measurement value is invalid for the time of the calibration (consider R0.2).
If cyclically invalid weight values have too great an influence on the application, the reference measurement and the calibrations (calibration and forced calibration) can be switched off via control bit CB2.1. Then no reference measurement and calibration will take place permanently. However, it is recommended to reactivate the bit temporarily at a suitable moment, when no weight measurement is taking place, in order to achieve a higher measurement accuracy. If the time for the reference measurement/(forced) calibration interval has expired when the control bit is deactivated, a (forced) calibration and reference measurement is performed.
R45: threshold for reference voltage test
This register contains the limit for the reference voltage test. The unit is 1 mV. If the reference voltage is found to be below this limit, bit R0.14 is set in the status word.
R46: threshold for correction factor
This register contains the limit value for the correction factor. A correction factor for the differential signal is determined in the course of calibration. When measuring the internal reference, this results from the quotient of the reference and differential signal. To represent it more clearly, the result is normalized to 10000 (URef / UDiff x 10000), which means that 10000 corresponds to a factor of 1. In mapped calibration data, the correction factor is output in R5. If the difference between the correction factor and 10000 (10000 - correction factor) is greater than this limit, bit R0.15 is set in the status word.
R47: calibration stabilization - number of stable measured values
Default: 50
R48: calibration stabilization - tolerance for measurement stability
Default: 5
R49: manual calibration weight
Default: 2000 grams
