The Able Waste Weighing System (ablescale.au/) uses a Rinstrum R420 Indicator fitted with a Lua Module (M4223) to make it into a fully programmable indicator. Custom Lua scripting was done to track different types of waste, on-board data storage and data download onto a USB stick. In this case the different types of waste were Cardboard, Secure Paper, General Waste, Co-Mingled Recycle and Organics. The operation was as follows: R420 prompts the Operator to Load Bin. Once Bin is applied the R420 prompts the Operator to enter Waste Code Once entered the R420 displays the Code selected as confirmation of Code. If the Code was entered incorrectly the F1 Key is used to remove last weight. The Bin weight is then recorded minus a predefined tare weight. The R420 prompts the Operator to Remove Bin It then returns to Zero and prompts Load Bin again. Data is automatically saved on the Lua module When required a USB Stick Drive is used to collect the data. When the USB Drive is inserted the R420 automatically detects its presence and loads the Weight Data file to the USB Drive. The R420 displays Copying USB then Remove USB when the operation is complete. The Weight Data is now transferred to the USB for analysis. Information stored is Date, Time, Waste Code and Net Weight in a CSV file. New Waste Codes can be added or edited at any time via a separate file stored on the USB Stick, while the Weight Data is being sent to the USB the new Waste Codes are loaded back to the R420 and again with the same display of Copying USB then Remove USB when the operation is complete.
