Appendix A

Communications Protocol

This appendix contains the cable pin assignments and command set 
description for the interface between the CubiScan 110-T and a host 
computer via a serial RS-232 connection as well as for the interface 
between the CubiScan 110-T and a network via an Ethernet TCP/IP 
connection.

“CubiScan 110-T Command Set” on page 57

 lists the commands in the 

CubiScan 110-T command set used for cubing and weighing and to set up 
the CubiScan 110-T for cubing and weighing. 

“CubiScan 110-T Command 

Set” on page 57

 lists the commands used to set up the CubiScan 110-T for 

TCP/IP communications with a network.

Serial (RS-232-C) Cable Pin Assignments 

The CubiScan 110-T serial ports use the EIA RS-232-C communications 
protocol. The data are serially transmitted ASCII characters.

The following table shows the serial connector pin assignments. All other 
pins are not connected.

The following table shows the parameters for asynchronous 
communications through the RS-232 serial cable.
