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.
<SOH> indicates the character that starts the command in a CW
string (par. 10.2.9 on page 2-17).
<STX> indicates the character that starts the response in a CW string
(par. 10.2.9 on page 2-17).
<EOL> indicates the character that ends the response in a CW string
(par. 10.2.9 on page 2-17) and can be <CR> or <CR> <LF>.
✔ Where necessary, the hexadecimal value of the character is given in
numbers and uppercase letters.
For example: <CR>(0DH) or $(24H).
✔ Variables are written in lower case between brackets.
For example:
<um>= unit of measurement.
The values can be:
<SP>g = grams, g= grams in the case of the Checkweight string (par.
10.2.8 on page 2-15)
kg = kilograms
<SP>t = tons, t = tons in the case of the Checkweight string (par.
10.2.8 on page 2-15)
lb = pounds
oz = ounces
✔ Numeric fields are indicated with n and y, and may include initial
spaces, a decimal point and a minus sign.

2-9
 D430

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. 11.6.13 on page 2-89).

10.2.1 Cb (or Bilanciai) string

1st character $(24H) start string character

2nd character <s> s=stability

s=0 weight stable
s=1 weight not stable
s=3 weight not valid (negative or
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
2-25), On request (see par. 10.3.3 on page 2-25), ACK-NAK (see par.
10.3.1 on page 2-25).

2-10
 D430

10.2.2 Extended string

1st character $(24H) start string character

2nd-10th net weight with sign and decimal

character point (if present)

11th character <SP>(20H) space

12th-20th tare with sign and decimal point (if

character present)

21st character <SP>(20H) space

22nd-23rd <um> Unit of measurement

character
24th character <SP>(20H) space

25th character <s1> scale status

26th character <s2> scale status

27th character <s3> scale status

28th character <s4> scale status

29th character <CR>(0DH)

30th character <LF>(0AH)

The characters <s1>, <s2>, <s3>, <s4> are ASCII characters that must
be interpreted as hexadecimal values. Each character represents 4 bits
of different significance; for example, the incoming ASCII character "A"
must be interpreted as the hexadecimal digit "A";
1 0 1 0
bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0

2-11
 D430
When a bit assumes the value "1" the corresponding signal is "true"; the
significance of the signals is as follows:

<s1> bit 0 minimum weighment signal

bit 1 tare locked signal
bit 2 tare preset(1)/self-weighed (0) entered signal
bit 3 centre zero signal
<s2> bit 0 LSB weighing extension signal (ME only)
bit 1 weight stable signal
bit 2 overload signal
bit 3 MSB weighing extension signal (ME only)
<s3> bit 0 tare entered signal
bit 1 tare locked cancelled signal (ME only)
bit 2 weight not valid
bit 3 printing in progress
<s4> bit 0 approved instrument
bit 1 converter fault
bit 2 scale configuration parameters error
bit 3 not utilised

The following protocols are available: Cyclic (see par. 10.3.2 on page
2-25), On request (see par. 10.3.3 on page 2-25), ACK-NAK (see par.
10.3.1 on page 2-25), Remote commands (see par. 10.4 on page 2-26).

overload)
4th-8th net weight with sign;
character if the weight consists of more than 5
digits, the least significant digits will
not be transmitted;
if the value includes a decimal point,
the length of the string will be
increased by 1 character
9th character <CR>(0DH) end string character

2-13
 D430

10.2.4 Idea string

1st character <cis> cis=@(40H)

Start string character on pressing

cis=$(24H)
Start string character in other cases
2nd character <s> s=stability
s=0 weight stable
s=1 weight not stable
s=3 weight not valid (negative or
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

10.2.5 Cma
Reserved string, not to be used. Further information supplied on
ordering.

10.2.6 On request with address

Selecting this option disables the transmission of cyclic strings.
Uses remote commands followed by terminal identification number (see
par. 10.4.35 on page 2-40).

2-14
 D430

10.2.7 Customized string

The string composition can be customised straight from the terminal
(see par. 11.6.20 on page 2-102) or by using the "Dialogic" program.
In this case, contact the Manufacturer for further details.

10.2.8 Checkweight string

The length of the checkweight string can vary from 10 to 20 characters.
This variability depends on:
✔ the unit of measurement used to express the weight: if expressed in g
or in t, the unit of measurement only occupies one character in the
string; if expressed in kg, oz or lb, the unit of measurement occupies
two characters;
✔ type of protocol: if cyclic, the weight qualification character (instable,
overload, valid and stable) will be included.
For the sake of simplicity, only the example of a checkweight string
formed by 20 characters has been given, with the weight expressed in
kg, oz or lb and the cyclic type of protocol.

2-15
 D430

1st character <STX>

(02H)
2nd character <SP> (20H) Space if the weight is positive
o <-> Minus sign if the weight is negative
3rd-8th character weight

9th character <SP> (20H) space

10th-11th <um> unit of measurement (kg, oz or lb)

character As mentioned previously, if the
weight is given in g or in t, the unit
of measurement only occupies one
character (10th), in the string.
Consequently, the numbering of
the following characters will
decrease by one unit.
12th-13th <GR> or GR = gross weight
character <NT> NT = net weight
14th-17th <OVER> or OVER = ABOVE
character <ACPT> or ACPT = WITHIN
<UNDR> UNDR = BELOW
18th character <M> or M = weight instable
<R> or R = overload
<SP> (20H) SP = weight valid and stable
This character is only present if the
protocol is cyclic. The numbering of
the successive characters
decreases by one unit in all other
cases.
19th character <CR> (0DH)

20th character <LF> (0AH)

2-16
 D430

10.2.9 CW string
The CW string can only be selected in the Checkweight operating mode
and its length can vary from 15 to 17 characters.
This variability depends on:
✔ the unit of measurement used to express the weight: if expressed in g
or in t, the unit of measurement only occupies one character in the
string; if expressed in kg, oz or lb, the unit of measurement occupies
two characters;
✔ type of protocol: if cyclic, the weight qualification character (instable,
overload, valid and stable) will be included.
For the sake of simplicity, only the example of a CW string formed by 17
characters has been given, with the weight expressed in kg, oz or lb and
the cyclic type of protocol.

2-17
 D430

1st character <STX>

(02H)
2nd character <SP> (20H) space if the weight is positive
or <-> minus sign if the weight is negative
3rd-8th character weight

9th character <SP> (20H) space

10th-11th <um> unit of measurement (kg, oz or lb)

character As mentioned previously, if the
weight is given in g or in t, the unit
of measurement only occupies one
character (10th) in the string.
Consequently, the numbering of
the following characters will
decrease by one unit.
12th-13th <GR> or GR = or
character <NT> NT = net weight
14th character <O> or O = OVER = ABOVE
<A> or A = ACCEPT = WITHIN
<U> U = UNDER = BELOW
15th character <M> or M = weight instable
<R> or R = overload
<SP> SP = weight valid and stable
This character is only present if the
protocol is cyclic. The numbering of
the successive characters
decreases by one unit in all other
cases.
16th character <CR> (0DH)

17th character <LF> (0AH)

2-18
 D430

10.2.10 Piece number string

1st character $ (24H) character at the start of the string

2nd-7th character number of pieces

8th character <CR> (0DH) character that ends the string

10.2.11 Printed Data string

3 transmission modes are available:
✔ Single
The string is transmitted, after which the data are printed.
The On request (see par. 10.3.3 on page 2-25), ACK-NAK (see par.
10.3.1 on page 2-25) and On remote commands (see par. 10.4 on page
2-26) protocols are available. If the ACK-NAK protocol is selected, the
message "DATA NOT TRANSMITTED" will appear at the bottom of the
print in the event of a transmission fault.
✔ Spool
The data are printed, after which the string is transmitted. The only
protocol available is ACK-NAK (see par. 10.3.1 on page 2-25).
If there is a transmission fault, the string is memorized in an archive
instead of being transmitted. Whenever a weighing operation must be
transmitted, an attempt will first be made to transmit the strings at the
end of the archive, then the string pertaining to the current operation.
✔ Archive
The strings are memorized in an archive after a weighing operation.
Transmission takes place following the (<ENQ> (05H)) command. The
On request (see par. 10.3.3 on page 2-25) and ACK-NAK (see par.
10.3.1 on page 2-25) protocols are available.

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. 11.6.14 on

page 2-90). 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. 11.6.14 on page 2-90).

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.

10.4.1 Response times

Key
✔ CMD = Remote command
✔ ANS = Response to remote command
✔ tc = command time. Depends on the number of characters, the
number of bits per character and the baud rate.
E.g.: XB<CR>; with 3 characters, 8N1, 9600 then tc = 3,3ms
✔ trr = response delay time. It is always 2 characters or less.
E.g.: with 2 characters, 8N1, 9600 then trr <= 2,2ms
✔ tr = response time. Depends on the number of characters in the
response.
E.g.: if the response at XB<CR> is a string with 16 characters, 8N1,
9600 then tr = 17,6ms
✔ ta = waiting time between the end of the response and the beginning
of the next command. Must at least correspond to the time of 2
characters.
E.g.: with 2 characters, 8N1, 9600 then ta >= 2,2ms

10.4.2 Remote commands in the version for terminals with

several scales
If the terminal is for the version with several scales, the syntax of some
of the remote commands will change so as to indicate to which scale
reference is being made.
For example, to request the gross weight, the syntax will be changed in
the following way:
XBb<CR>
where b indicates the letter (A or B) of the scale in question.
For these commands, the syntax will be given between brackets
alongside the standard command.

the value to be entered must conform to the format of the data item.
Values for some of the general data cannot be entered (e.g. gross
weight, net weight, scale status, date, time, totals, etc.).

10.4.19 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>
n = 9 characters (see par. 10.1 on page 2-9).

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. 10.4.24 on page 2-36). You can read the last
weight acquired by means of the PA command (par. 10.4.23 on page
2-36).
The bit0 of <s6> is zero-set after the response has been transmitted to
remote command XT (par. 10.4.9 on page 2-30) or YT (par. 10.4.21 on
page 2-36).
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>).

10.4.34 Remote commands with checksum

Management of remote commands with checksum can be enabled
during the installation phase (par. 11.6.12 on page 2-87).
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>

n = 9 characters (see par. 10.1 on page 2-9).

2-39
 D430

10.4.35 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 2-26 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. 11.6.12 on page 2-87).
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.

11.6.21 Setup Menu/Personalizations/Backup-Restore

This submenu contains the file transfer functions of Backup and Restore.
The files are transferred using a program on a PC which allows the data
in the terminal memory to be saved in binary files. These files can be
subsequently transferred back to the original terminal or to another
terminal of the same model. It also is possible to connect two terminals
and transfer data directly from one to the other without using a PC (file
cloning).
Data transmission is normally performed via a free serial port. The
terminal configures the communication parameters automatically. The
selected port, transmission rate, etc. are indicated on the display
(normally COM1 4800, 8, N, 1). On completion of the backup-restore
operation, the previous parameter settings are restored.

Figure 11.1 - PC and terminal connection for Backup-Restore

(citi0629.gif)

2-112
 D430
To transfer files from the terminal to a Personal Computer proceed
as follows:
✔ use a communication program that contains the KERMIT transfer
mode for binary files (e.g. Windows Hyperterminal), and set the same
communication parameter settings as the terminal;
✔ connect the terminal to the PC using a serial line cable as indicated in
Figure 11.1 on page 2-112;
✔ if you want to transfer one file at a time, use the Backup function;

select the file to be transferred and confirm by pressing .

If you want to transfer all the files select Backup all.
✔ The transfer procedure now starts. Put the PC kermit reception mode.
The terminal and the PC will display the name of the file and the
percentage of data transferred.
✔ On completion of the transfer, if the Backup all function was used,
press ESC on the terminal to return to normal weight display mode; if
the Backup function was used, select the next file to be transferred (if
any) and repeat the procedure.
On completion of the operation, the binary files relative to the terminal
files can be found in the specific directory on the PC, for example
PRODFILE will contain the product file.
If there is already a file with this name in the directory, it will not be
overwritten but the new file will be saved with a number appended to the
filename, e.g. PRODFILE1.

2-113
 D430
To transfer files from a Personal Computer to the terminal proceed
as follows:
✔ go to the directory containing the previously transferred files;
✔ connect the terminal to the PC using a serial line cable as previously
described in the Backup procedure;
✔ select the Restore function on the terminal; this function allows you
to transfer one file at a time from a PC to the terminal;
✔ on the PC, select the Kermit mode send procedure for the file to be
transferred to the terminal;
✔ a message will be displayed informing you whether the transmission
was completed successfully.

CAUTION
The name of the file to be transferred must the same as that
of the previously received file. Filenames with added
numbers must be renamed.
For example, change the name of PRODFILE1 to
PRODFILE before transferring it.
The management of files on the PC is the responsibility of
the user.

✔ return to the submenu Restore to transfer further files and repeat

the procedure.
