In case of negative weight, the first character from the left of the weight characters takes on the
value “-” (minus sign - ASCII 45).
In case of error or alarm, the 6 characters of the weight are substituted by the messages
found in the table of the SERIAL PROTOCOLS ALARMS section.
If
is set, the following string is transmitted to PC/PLC:
&TzzzzzzPzzzzzz\ckckCR
where:
&
................... 1 initial string character (38 ASCII)
T
................... 1 character of gross weight identification
P
................... 1 character of gross weight identification
zzzzzz
...... 6 characters of gross weight (48
57 ASCII)
\
................... 1 character of separation (92 ASCII)
ckck
........... 2 ASCII control characters or calculated considering the characters included
between “&” and “\” excluded. The control value is obtained executing the
XOR operation (exclusive OR) for the 8 bit ASCII codes of the characters
considered. Therefore, a character expressed in hexadecimal is obtained with
2 numbers that may assume values from “0” to “9” and from “A” to “F”.
“
ckck
” is the ASCII code of the two hexadecimal digits
CR
................ 1 character of end string (13 ASCII)
In case of negative weight, the first character from the left of the weight characters takes on the
value “-” (minus sign - ASCII 45).
In case of error or alarm, the 6 characters of the gross weight are substituted by the
messages found in the table of the SERIAL PROTOCOLS ALARMS section.
FAST TRANSMISSION VIA EXTERNAL CONTACT:
for BASE program, it’s possible to transmit the
weight, just once, even closing an input for no more than a second
(see section
OUTPUTS AND
INPUTS CONFIGURATION (BASE program)
).
CONTINUOUS WEIGHT TRANSMISSION TO REMOTE DISPLAYS PROTOCOL
This protocol allows the continuous weight transmission to remote displays. The communication
string is transmitted 10 times per second.
Following communication modes availables (see section
SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTINGS
):
-
: communication with RIP5/20/60, RIP50SHA, RIPLED series remote displays; the remote
display shows the net weight or gross weight according to its settings
-
: communication with RIP6100, RIP675, RIP6125C series remote displays; the remote
display shows the net weight or gross weight according to its settings
-
: communication with RIP6100, RIP675, RIP6125C series remote displays
