10. PROGRAMMING OF SERIAL LINE

COMMUNICATION

10.1 Symbols used

The following conventions are used to denote the characters used in
serial line communication.
✔ Normal characters are indicated with their usual symbols.
✔ Control characters appear in brackets and are written in uppercase.
For example:
<CR> indicates the carriage return character.
<SP> indicates the space character.
✔ Where necessary, the hexadecimal value of the character is given in
numbers and uppercase letters.
For example: <CR>(0DH) o $(24H).
✔ Variables are written in lower case between brackets.
For example:
<um>= unit of measurement.
This may assume the following values:
kg = kilogrammes
<SP>g = grammes
lb = pounds
<SP>t = tonnes
✔ Numeric fields are indicated with n and y, and may include initial
spaces, a decimal point and a minus sign.

2-9
 D400

10.2 Strings
The terminal has two serial output ports which may be used for the
connection of external devices, such as printers, personal computers,
PLCs, etc.. The user can choose the type of transmission protocol to be
used from among those already present on the terminal. The user may
also personalize the serial transmission parameters using the specific
menu (see par. 11.6.10 on page 2-62 ).

10.2.1 Cb (or Bilanciai) string

1st character $(24H) start string character

2nd character <s> s=stability

s=0 weight stable

overload)
3rd-7th net weight
character if the weight consists of more than 5
digits, the least significant digits will
not be transmitted;
8th character <CR>(ODH) end string character

The following protocols are available: Cyclic (see par. 10.3.2 on page
2-16 ), On request (see par. 10.3.3 on page 2-16 ), ACK-NAK (see
par. 10.3.1 on page 2-16 ).

ordering.

10.2.7 On request with address

Selecting this option disables the transmission of cyclic strings.
Uses remote commands followed by terminal identification number (see
par. 10.4.32 on page 2-28 ).

2-15
 D400

10.3 Protocols for cyclic strings

10.3.1 ACK-NAK protocol

The string is only sent on request of the user via the request

transmission key or from an external input (see par. 11.6.11 on

page 2-63 ). After transmission of the weight, the terminal behaves as
follows:
✔ if it receives the "ACK" character (06H) , it awaits a new transmission
request;
✔ if it receives the "NAK" character (15H), it sends the string again
because the previous transmission was not completed successfully;
✔ if it receives three "NAK" characters in succession, the terminal
displays the "NO ACK" message (transmission error).

10.3.2 Cyclic protocol

The selected string (see par. 10.2 on page 2-10 ) is transmitted
cyclically at a rate of 3 times per second.

10.3.3 On request protocol

The selected string is transmitted:

✔ either on pressing the request transmission key ;

✔ or on the activation of an input (see par. 11.6.11 on page 2-63 ).

2-16
 D400

10.4 Remote commands protocol

There are a number of serial line commands with which various
operations can be commanded from a remote device (PC, PLC etc.).

WARNING
Remote commands are only enabled if the extended string
format was selected during terminal configuration (see par.
10.2.2 on page 2-11 ).

WARNING
Remote commands are not executed if cyclic serial
transmission is in progress; in this case cyclic transmission
must be suspended with the command "EX<CR>" before
giving any other remote commands.

WARNING
Insert a delay of a few ms between the reply to a command
and the next command.

10.4.1 Reply to an incorrect command

??<CR><LF>
This reply string is sent:
✔ if the command syntax is incorrect;
✔ if the command cannot be executed.

2-17
 D400

10.4.2 Reply to a correct command

2-22
 D400
10.4.17 Request for transmission of the net weight and the
scale status
Xn<CR>
N.B.: the command sent is comprised of an uppercase X and lowercase
n (not to be confused with generic significance assigned to the
lowercase n described in par. 10.1 on page 2-9 ).
In the case of a positive reply, the terminal responds with the following
string:
n<SP><um><SP><s1><s2><s3><s4><CR><LF>
The characters s1, s2, s3 and s4 are ASCII characters the meaning of
which is explained in par. 10.4.8 on page 2-19 .

2-23
 D400

10.4.18 Request for transmission of net weight and scale

status with 6 bytes
YS<CR>

When the command is received, the terminal replies with the following
string:

n<SP><um><SP><s1><s2><s3><s4><s5><s6><CR><LF>

The meaning of the <s1>, <s2>, <s3> and <s4> bits is described in par.
10.4.8 on page 2-19 .
The meaning of the <s5> and <s6> bits is as follows:

<s5> bit 0 not utilised

bit 1 not utilised
bit 2 battery low indication
bit 3 Print made, weight acquired
<s6> bit 0 tare changed
bit 1 not utilised
bit 2 not utilised
bit 3 not utilised

The bit2 of <s5> is zero-set immediately after the 6 byte status

transmission.
The bit3 of <s5> is zero-set immediately after the CP remote command
has been received ( par. 10.4.22 on page 2-25 ). You can read the last
weight acquired by means of the PA command ( par. 10.4.21 on page
2-25 ).
The bit0 of <s6> is zero-set after the response has been transmitted to
remote command XT ( par. 10.4.7 on page 2-19 ) or YT ( par. 10.4.19
on page 2-25 ).
Remember that in multi-expansion terminals, the tare is rounded off to
the extension change but the changed tare bit is not altered (the
operator must ask for the tare whenever the extension changes; this
change can be checked through bit0 and bit3 of <s2>).

2-24
 D400

10.4.19 Request for transmission of the net weight, tare and

scale status with 6 bytes

10.4.30 Unlock keypad

UK<CR>
The keypad is unlocked.

10.4.31 Remote commands with checksum

Management of remote commands with checksum can be enabled
during the installation phase ( par. 11.6.9 on page 2-61 ).
Checksum mode increases security when the terminal and PC dialogue
with each other since the following precautions are taken:
✔ each remote command transmitted to the terminal must contain two
checksum characters in a dedicated position;
✔ each reply with data that the terminal transmits to the PC after a
remote command must contain two checksum characters in a
dedicated position.
The position of the two checksum characters is immediately prior to the
<CR> character..
Checksum calculation involves making the XOR (exclusive OR) of all the
characters in the string up to the first checksum character excluded. The
result is expressed by two hexadecimal characters.
An example of a gross weight transmission with checksum is given
below:

XB chk1chk2 <CR>

where, supposing that value 1A is obtained from XOR:

chk1 is the first checksum character ("1" or rather 31H)
chk2 is the second checksum character ("A" or rather 41H).

The terminal replies with the following string:

n<SP><um><SP>B chk1chk2 <CR><LF>

2-27
 D400

10.4.32 Remote commands with addressing

When using the string "On request with address" or if the RS485
communication interface is selected, the remote commands described in
par. 10.4 on page 2-17 will also have to include the number of the
terminal to be interrogated..
The system is comprised of one Master terminal (e.g. a PC) and a
number of Slave terminals (e.g. weighing terminals).
Each weighing terminal is identified by a unique "terminal number" (see
par. 11.6.9 on page 2-61 ).
In this way you can create a network of weighing terminals that can be
interrogated by the Master terminal.
The syntax of the remote commands has to be modified by the addition
of the two characters of the terminal number.
For example, the gross weight transmission command XB <CR>
becomes XB 01 <CR> to indicate that the request from the Master
terminal is addressed to the terminal number 01.
Similarly, in checksum mode the gross weight transmission command
becomes XB01 chk1 chk2 <CR>.
No reply will be sent by the terminal if there are checksum errors.

11.7 Test procedures

To access terminal function tests, press on power up and follow the

menu path:

select language>Terminal Tests>select test

11.7.1 Terminal Tests/Serial Ports

✔ Connect the "blind" connector to the ports.
The term "blind" connector denotes a connector that connects the inputs
to the outputs.
For RS232, TX with RX and CTS with RTS.
For RS422, TX+ with RX+, TX- with RX-.
(See drawings in the Consignment and installation chapter of the user
manual)

11.7.2 Terminal Tests/Inputs-Outputs

As in the serial port tests, you will need to prepare blind connectors that
connect the inputs directly to the outputs of the same number.
For example, connect input 01 with output 01. Refer to the Consignment
and installation chapter and Options chapter of the user manual for
these connections.

11.7.3 Terminal Tests/Keypad

Follow the instructions given on the display.

11.7.4 Terminal Tests/Terminal Configuration Report

If a printer port has been enabled through the relative menu, the terminal
configuration report will be printed via this port. If no port has been
enabled, connect a printer and a PC to the COM1 serial port with fixed
9600,8,N,1 configuration.
The overall setup of the terminal will be transmitted to it.

11.7.5 Terminal Tests/Analogue output

To calibrate the output voltage, connect a tester with 10V capacity to the
terminals. Adjust the output using the keys indicated on the display to
obtain a voltage reading between 0 and 10V.
To calibrate the output current, proceed in the same way using an
ammeter.
You can also select the Complete calibr. item of the menu to
calibrate both values (current and voltage)..

11.7.6 Terminal Tests/Battery
