10. PROGRAMMING OF SERIAL LINE

COMMUNICATION

10.1 Symbols used

The following conventions are used to denote the characters used in
serial line communication.
✔ Normal characters are indicated with their usual symbols.
✔ Control characters appear in brackets and are written in uppercase.
For example:
<CR> indicates the carriage return character.
<SP> indicates the space character.
✔ Where necessary, the hexadecimal value of the character is given in
numbers and uppercase letters.
For example: <CR>(0DH) o $(24H).
✔ Variables are written in lower case between brackets.
For example:
<um>= unit of measurement.
This may assume the following values:
kg = kilogrammes
<SP>g = grammes
lb = pounds
<SP>t = tonnes
✔ Numeric fields are indicated with n and y, and may include initial
spaces, a decimal point and a minus sign.

2-9
 D410

10.2 Strings
The terminal has two serial output ports which may be used for the
connection of external devices, such as printers, personal computers,
PLCs, etc.. The user can choose the type of transmission protocol to be
used from among those already present on the terminal. The user may
also personalize the serial transmission parameters using the specific
menu (see par. 11.6.14 on page 2-74 ).

 D410

10.2.8 Customized string

The string format may be customized using the program "Dialogic".
For further information contact the Manufacturer.

2-16
 D410

10.3 Protocols for cyclic strings

10.3.1 ACK-NAK protocol

The string is only sent on request of the user via the request

transmission key or from an external input (see par. 11.6.15 on

page 2-75 ). After transmission of the weight, the terminal behaves as
follows:
✔ if it receives the "ACK" character (06H) , it awaits a new transmission
request;
✔ if it receives the "NAK" character (15H), it sends the string again
because the previous transmission was not completed successfully;
✔ if it receives three "NAK" characters in succession, the terminal
displays the "NO ACK" message (transmission error).

10.3.2 Cyclic protocol

The selected string (see par. 10.2 on page 2-10 ) is transmitted
cyclically at a rate of 3 times per second.

10.3.3 On request protocol

The selected string is transmitted:

✔ either on pressing the request transmission key ;

✔ or on the activation of an input (see par. 11.6.15 on page 2-75 ).

2-17
 D410

10.4 Remote commands protocol

There are a number of serial line commands with which various
operations can be commanded from a remote device (PC, PLC etc.).

WARNING
Remote commands are only enabled if the extended string
format was selected during terminal configuration (see par.
10.2.2 on page 2-11 ).

WARNING
Remote commands are not executed if cyclic serial
transmission is in progress; in this case cyclic transmission
must be suspended with the command "EX<CR>" before
giving any other remote commands.

WARNING
Insert a delay of a few ms between the reply to a command
and the next command.

10.4.1 Reply to an incorrect command

??<CR><LF>
This reply string is sent:
✔ if the command syntax is incorrect;
✔ if the command cannot be executed.

2-23
 D410
10.4.17 Request for transmission of the net weight and the
scale status
Xn<CR>
N.B.: the command sent is comprised of an uppercase X and lowercase
n (not to be confused with generic significance assigned to the
lowercase n described in par. 10.1 on page 2-9 ).
In the case of a positive reply, the terminal responds with the following
string:
n<SP><um><SP><s1><s2><s3><s4><CR><LF>
The characters s1, s2, s3 and s4 are ASCII characters the meaning of
which is explained in par. 10.4.8 on page 2-20 .

2-24
 D410

10.4.18 Request for transmission of net weight and scale

status with 6 bytes
YS<CR>

When the command is received, the terminal replies with the following
string:

n<SP><um><SP><s1><s2><s3><s4><s5><s6><CR><LF>

The meaning of the <s1>, <s2>, <s3> and <s4> bits is described in par.
10.4.8 on page 2-20 .
The meaning of the <s5> and <s6> bits is as follows:

<s5> bit 0 not utilised

bit 1 not utilised
bit 2 battery low indication
bit 3 Print made, weight acquired
<s6> bit 0 tare changed
bit 1 not utilised
bit 2 not utilised
bit 3 not utilised

The bit2 of <s5> is zero-set immediately after the 6 byte status

transmission.
The bit3 of <s5> is zero-set immediately after the CP remote command
has been received ( par. 10.4.22 on page 2-26 ). You can read the last
weight acquired by means of the PA command ( par. 10.4.21 on page
2-26 ).
The bit0 of <s6> is zero-set after the response has been transmitted to
remote command XT ( par. 10.4.7 on page 2-20 ) or YT ( par. 10.4.19
on page 2-26 ).
Remember that in multi-expansion terminals, the tare is rounded off to
the extension change but the changed tare bit is not altered (the
operator must ask for the tare whenever the extension changes; this
change can be checked through bit0 and bit3 of <s2>).

2-25
 D410

10.4.19 Request for transmission of the net weight, tare and

scale status with 6 bytes

10.4.30 Unlock keypad

UK<CR>
The keypad is unlocked.

10.4.31 Remote commands with checksum

Management of remote commands with checksum can be enabled
during the installation phase ( par. 11.6.13 on page 2-72 ).
Checksum mode increases security when the terminal and PC dialogue
with each other since the following precautions are taken:
✔ each remote command transmitted to the terminal must contain two
checksum characters in a dedicated position;
✔ each reply with data that the terminal transmits to the PC after a
remote command must contain two checksum characters in a
dedicated position.
The position of the two checksum characters is immediately prior to the
<CR> character..
Checksum calculation involves making the XOR (exclusive OR) of all the
characters in the string up to the first checksum character excluded. The
result is expressed by two hexadecimal characters.
An example of a gross weight transmission with checksum is given
below:

XB chk1chk2 <CR>

where, supposing that value 1A is obtained from XOR:

chk1 is the first checksum character ("1" or rather 31H)
chk2 is the second checksum character ("A" or rather 41H).

The terminal replies with the following string:

10.4.32 Remote commands with addressing

When using the string "On request with address" or if the RS485
communication interface is selected, the remote commands described in
par. 10.4 on page 2-18 will also have to include the number of the
terminal to be interrogated..
The system is comprised of one Master terminal (e.g. a PC) and a
number of Slave terminals (e.g. weighing terminals).
Each weighing terminal is identified by a unique "terminal number" (see
par. 11.6.13 on page 2-72 ).
In this way you can create a network of weighing terminals that can be
interrogated by the Master terminal.
The syntax of the remote commands has to be modified by the addition
of the two characters of the terminal number.
For example, the gross weight transmission command XB <CR>
becomes XB 01 <CR> to indicate that the request from the Master
terminal is addressed to the terminal number 01.
Similarly, in checksum mode the gross weight transmission command
becomes XB01 chk1 chk2 <CR>.
No reply will be sent by the terminal if there are checksum errors.

Once red output01 and green output02 (or vice versa) have been
entered ( par. 11.6.15 on page 2-75 ), the following parameters must be
entered in order to manage the semaphore:

Weight variation
Traffic light timeout (sec.)

The following conditions may occur:

✔ If no weight variation is entered (weight variation 0), the green light

will come on when the weighing operation has terminated and will
remain on until the measured weight is more than the minimum
weight (20 divisions).
The red light will be on in all other cases.
✔ If the weight variation entered is different from zero, the green light
will remain on once the weighing operation has terminated, until the
weight on the scale changes in relation to the acquired weight by a
quantity lower than the set weight variation. As soon as the weight on
the scale differs from the acquired weight by at least the same
quantity as the set weight variation, the green light will go out and the
red one will come on.
For example, if the acquired weight is 5000 Kg and the set weight
variation is 250 Kg, the green light will go out and the red light will
come on when the weight on the scale reaches 4750 Kg because the
vehicle is driving off the scale (or reaches 5250 Kg because a second
vehicle is driving on to the scale).
✔ Neither light is on. You can select a maximum "on" time (traffic light
timeout) for the red and green lights regardless of the set weight
variation and the status of the operation.

The number of files and their functions may
vary according to the operating mode
selected. Each of these files can be
customized in order to optimise memory use
to suit the type of terminal application. The
customizing procedure allows you to vary the
size of each file by defining the number of

When a file exceeds the maximum permitted

size, the terminal will display a warning that
there is insufficient space available. In this
case, if you still wish to proceed, you will have
to reduce the size of the other files. Care must
be taken when reducing the size of a file, as
this could lead to the loss of data. If the size
reduction affects memory areas which contain

11.6.24 Setup Menu/Personalizations/Backup-Restore

This submenu contains the file transfer functions of Backup and Restore.
The files are transferred using a program on a PC which allows the data
in the terminal memory to be saved in binary files. These files can be
subsequently transferred back to the original terminal or to another
terminal of the same model. It also is possible to connect two D410
terminals and transfer data directly from one to the other without using a
PC (file cloning).
Data transmission is normally performed via a free serial port. The
terminal configures the communication parameters automatically. The
selected port, transmission rate, etc. are indicated on the display
(normally COM1 4800, 8, N, 1). On completion of the backup-restore
operation, the previous parameter settings are restored.

Figure 11.1 - PC and terminal connection for Backup-Restore

2-88
 D410
To transfer files from the terminal to a Personal Computer proceed
as follows:
✔ use a communication program that contains the KERMIT transfer
mode for binary files (e.g. Windows Hyperterminal), and set the same
communication parameter settings as the terminal;
✔ connect the terminal to the PC using a serial line cable as indicated in
Figure 11.1 on page 2-88
✔ if you want to transfer one file at a time, use the Backup function;

select the file to be transferred and confirm by pressing .

If you want to transfer all the files select Backup all.
✔ The transfer procedure now starts. Put the PC kermit reception mode.
The terminal and the PC will display the name of the file and the
percentage of data transferred.
✔ On completion of the transfer, if the Backup all function was used,
press ESC on the terminal to return to normal weight display mode; if
the Backup function was used, select the next file to be transferred (if
any) and repeat the procedure.
On completion of the operation, the binary files relative to the terminal
files can be found in the specific directory on the PC, for example
PRODFILE will contain the product file.
If there is already a file with this name in the directory, it will not be
overwritten but the new file will be saved with a number appended to the
filename, e.g. PRODFILE1.

2-89
 D410
To transfer files from a Personal Computer to the terminal proceed
as follows:
✔ go to the directory containing the previously transferred files;
✔ connect the terminal to the PC using a serial line cable as previously
described in the Backup procedure;
✔ select the Restore function on the terminal; this function allows you
to transfer one file at a time from a PC to the terminal;
✔ on the PC, select the Kermit mode send procedure for the file to be
transferred to the terminal;
✔ a message will be displayed informing you whether the transmission
was completed successfully.

CAUTION
The name of the file to be transferred must the same as that
of the previously received file. Filenames with added
numbers must be renamed.
For example, change the name of PRODFILE1 to
PRODFILE before transferring it.
The management of files on the PC is the responsibility of
the user.

✔ return to the submenu Restore to transfer further files and repeat

the procedure.
