Communication and Getting started
4.1. Serial Interface
Communicating with the GLDM 64.1 is carried out e.g. via serial port RS 232.
The data format is the familiar 8/N/1 structure (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit).
Available baud rates via RS232 port are: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400 and 460800 baud.
Factory default:
115200 baud
4.2. Command Language
The command setup is based on a simple ASCII format (2 letters). This enables the user to setup the device,
get results or check parameters.
Example: Connect the GLDM 64.1 via the RS232 port to a PC / PLC system. You want to get the
identity, firmware version or net weight.

4.3. Baud Rate
For baud rate setup use command BR, see chapter 8.10.4.
Factory default:
115200 baud
4.4. Getting Started
You will require:
•
PC or PLC with a RS232 communication port.
•
One GLDM 64.1, connected to a load cell or scale.
•
A 12 to 24 VDC power supply capable of delivering approximately 0.75 W.
•
One or more GLDM 64.1
•
A suitable ASCII communication software
**
Refer to the wiring diagram in chapter 5.
**
You can easily communicate between a PC and a GLDM 64.1 using programs such as Procomm,
Telemate, Kermit, HyperTerminal or HTerm etc.
