The HopperScaleType defines the structure of an Object of the HopperScaleType. Figure 58 shows the hierarchical structure and details of the composition. It is formally defined in Table 116.

image073.gifAn Object of the HopperScaleType represents a hopper scale. It defines additional methods and properties required for managing the hopper scale. The CurrentWeight variable corresponds to the fill level of the hopper.

<Limits> defines a placeholder for individual additional limits that may be reached.

LimitMin: The current fill level falls below the allowed minimum level.

LimitMax: The current fill level exceeds the allowed maximum level.

LevelMax defines the maximum fill level where an action is necessary.

LevelMin defines the minimum fill level where an action is necessary.

The components of the HopperScaleType have additional references which are defined in Table 117.

The LevelMax/LevelMode defines with which condition the LevelMax and the current fill level (CurrentWeight) are compared.

The LevelMin/LevelMode defines with which condition the LevelMax and the current fill level (CurrentWeight) are compared.
