as a COM Port (
datprot,
when com1 is not RS485
)
You can configure the interface as a
COM port in either COM1 or UniCOM,
“Data Protocol” (
datprot
) menu item�
SBI communication
This is a simple ASCII interface�
Data output is configured under menu
items 6�1 and 6�3:
– Manual output of displayed value with
or without stability (menu items 6�1�1
and 6�1�2)
– Automatic output of displayed value
with or without stability (menu items
6�1�4 and 6�1�5) at intervals defined by
display updates� The number of display
intervals is set in menu item 6�3�
– Output of a configurable printout�
Output is linked to the “Printouts”
menu item
prtprot
), (see page 81
“Configuring Printouts”)
If you do not activate and configure a
user-definable data record, the printout
simply contains the current value
displayed on the display and control
unit (weight with unit, calculated value,
alphanumeric display)�
SMA communication
Standardized communications protocol
of the Scale Manufacturers Association
Data Input Format
(Commands)
You can connect a computer to your scale
to send commands controlling weighing
instrument functions and applications via
the interface port�
All commands use the same data input
format� They start with the ESC character
(ASCII 27) and end with a carriage return
(CR; ASCII 13) and a line feed (LF; ASCII
10)� The total length of a command is
anywhere from 4 characters (1 command
character between the start and end
described above) to a max� of 7 characters
(4 command characters)�
The commands listed in the following table
must each be supplemented with ESC ���
CR LF�
Example: The command character for
output is “P” (“output to Port”)� To trigger
this command, send the string: “ESC P
CR LF”�
