9.4 BSI Data Structure
All new generation Flintec instruments launched on the market support the standardized command set BSI
data form, depending on the functionality of the instrument. This easy data format gives the reliable and
speedy interface advantages with communicating PLC or PC for process control or transactional
applications. You can expand your system with additional scales from Flintec without having to change your
application program base.
General Rules:
1.
Commands are only in CAPITAL.
2.
CHK (2 ASCII char) can be enabled or disabled from both command and response.
3.
Weight data is 8-byte with dot and non-significant zeros on the left.
4.
Address (2 ASCII char) will be located in the structure, if not 00.
Command format:
[ADR][COMMAND][CHK][CR][LF]
Response format with weight:
[ADR][COMMAND][STATUS][SIGN][WEIGHT][CHK][CR][LF]
Response format without weight / force
[ADR][COMMAND][STATUS][CHK][CR][LF]
