The Net-Scale must be configured to operate with the scale. This is done via entries in the
“NSC.INI”
file on the SD card. A operation without an INI-file is not possible!
FREQ=x
Frequency channel for communication with the scale (1-28)
DIMZ=kg
Dimension sign (double digits)
NKOM=0
Amount of decimals;
If this entry is deleted, the amount of decimals set at the scale is used
IPAD=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
IP address FIX (without DHCP)
MASK=255.255.255.xxx
Subnet Mask (without DHCP)
GATE=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Gateway
PORT
Port for the assignment of the service. Selectable from 1 to 65535
(Default port is 187, ensure that it does not collide with any other
service)
WDHL=1…5
Amount of communication attempts between Net-Scale and scale
ACT= 1.....16
(from firmware 2.12)
Activate communication to scales permanently
By entering the scale number in the INI file, a permanent connection is
established, independent of the configuration of the network interface.
A separate entry must be created for each scale.
This facilitates the integration of the Netscale in order to be able to use
commands such as "Register weight - 10" (see page 11) without
programming effort or to establish communication with an EHP large
display if no permanent IT connection of the network interface is
intended.
Note: When using a large display, the Netscale is limited to use with
one scale.
Table 2 - INI-file entries
The SD-card is mounted as an ftp drive as soon as the Net-Scale is power connected. If the SD card
is removed during operation, it must be mounted again. Therefore disconnect the Net-Scale from
power supply and reconnect it after a few seconds.
INI File must be named in capital letters (Dateiname: NSC.INI)!
