UPD -update interval of continuos transmission

UPD command is used to set delay between transmissions in commands like SIR, SXIR that activate continuous mode.

Note: this is the delay between sending data after they have been processed. Since data are sent to the scale communication interface this means that there will be additional delay especially if using wireless connection like WIFI or Bluetooth. Same delay is guaranteed only on CPU level and therefore data will not come always with the same delay depending on interface used. Wired interfaces tend to have more constant delay then wireless ones.

Table 47

Command

Scale and applications parameters

Command RSD and SSD give you possibility to read all scale and applications parameters.

Each parameter has unique name and to which a corresponding value can be set. List of all available parameters are listed below in table with description, default value and range value.

Parameters are always in key=value pairs. For example 1D1=0.1 where 1D1 is parameter and 0.1 is it’s value. Parameters are separated with semicolon (;).

Single channel and multi channel

Single-channel and multi-channel operation

By default, the scale operates in single-channel mode (SAM=0). In this mode, each of the four ADC channels can be connected to a separate weighing platform. Each channel is treated as an independent scale and may have its own metrological parameters, including capacity, scale division, calibration, filter settings, zero settings, and weighing unit.

Single-channel mode should be used when:

each ADC channel is connected to a separate weighing platform;

every platform requires its own calibration and metrological settings;

only one load-cell signal is required for each scale;

compatibility with the standard acquisition and calibration procedure is required.

In multi-channel mode (SAM=1), two, three, or four ADC channels are combined into one logical scale. The number of active channels is selected with the SAC parameter. Each active channel is sampled continuously, and its individual raw ADC value and signal in millivolts can be read using the QASIX or ADCX command.

The active channel signals are summed to obtain one composite ADC value. This composite value is used for the normal whole-scale calibration and mass calculation. Therefore, only one metrological configuration and one standard scale calibration are required for the complete platform.

Multi-channel mode is especially useful when several load cells support the same platform, tank, hopper, or silo.

Advantages of multi-channel operation

No external junction box is required.
Each load cell can be connected directly to a separate ADC channel.

Individual load-cell monitoring.
The ADC value and millivolt signal of every load cell can be monitored separately.

Simplified fault detection.
A damaged, disconnected, overloaded, or drifting load cell can be identified more easily because its signal is available independently.

Better installation diagnostics.
Individual channel readings can reveal uneven loading, mechanical obstruction, incorrect wiring, or poor load distribution.

One calibration for the complete platform.
Although every load-cell signal is measured separately, their combined signal is calibrated as one weighing system.

Optional eccentricity correction.
Differences between load cells and position-dependent weighing errors can be compensated using individual channel correction factors.

Flexible channel count.
The same system can be configured for platforms using two, three, or four load cells. Using fewer channels also reduces the time required to acquire a complete measurement frame.

Typical applications

Multi-channel mode is recommended for:

four-load-cell platform scales;

three- or four-point silo and hopper weighing;

tank weighing systems;

systems where individual load-cell diagnostics are required;

installations where an external analogue junction box should be avoided;

platforms requiring electronic eccentricity or corner-error correction.

The main difference is that single-channel mode provides up to four independent scales, while multi-channel mode combines up to four individually monitored load-cell signals into one calibrated scale.

RSD – get all parameters

Get all scale and applications parameters. This is very usefully not just to get current values but also you can store them as backup of your scale configuration. To restore values you just simple replace first character R with S and send it to scale.

Table 48

Command
`RSD`		Query all parameters.
Response
`RSD;<param1=value>;<param2=value>;…`		All parameters.
Example		—
`↓`	`RSD`
`↑`	`RSD;1D1=0.1;1D2=;1D3=;1M1=1000;1M2=;1M3=;1U=g;1ZT;…`

Parameter query (=?) – get one parameter value

If you need to retrieve only one parameter value you can use this command.

Table 49

Command
<parameter>=?	Query parameter value.
Response
`<parameter>=<value>`	Parameter and it’s value.
Example
`↓`	1D1=?
`↑`	1D1=0.1

SSD – set parameter(s)

This command is used to set scale and applications parameters. Please note that after changing parameter values in storage they are not applied immediately. To apply new values you must either reboot scale or execute command IS to apply new settings.

Table 50

Command
`SSD;[parameter1=value]; [parameter2=value2];…`	Set on or multiple parameters values.
Response
`SSD;[parameter1=@1];[parameter2=@1];…`	Successfully set application parameter(s). SSD command does not return parameter value but it return success status which can be: @1 – parameter changed successfully @-1 – parameter does not exists @-2 – not allowed ASCII value or character @-3 – not valid scale parameter

IS – initialize scale

Table 51

Command
`IS`	Initialize scale with new parameters
Response
`IS˽A`	Scale initialization finished. Note: scale initialization will take few seconds to finish.

GCAL – get calibration data

Table 52

Command
`GCAL=<scaleNo>`	Get calibration data of selected scale. If <scaleNo> parameter is set to 0 you will receive calibration data of all scales.
Response
`GCAL=<sZP=value>,<sxW=value>, <sxA=value>,<sxF=value>,…`	Calibration parameters: s – is scale number x – is consecutive number ZP – zero points W – load A – ADC points F - factor

CAL – SCALE calibration

Response
`CAL=@<status>,<channel>,<repNo>,<point>, <load>,<adcPoints>,<factor>`		Calibration response; see the Status parameter below.
Example of calibrations
`↓`	`CAL=0,0`
`↑`	`CAL=@S,1,0,0,0.00,0,0 CAL=@C,1,1,0,0.00,8517076.76,0 CAL=@C,1,2,0,0.00,8517075.26,0 CAL=@F,1,2,0,0.00,8517075.98,0`

Table 54

Parameters	Description
`<point>`	Calibration point number 0-8 (0 is zero calibration).
`<load>`	Weight that is placed on the scale load receptor. In case point is zero load must be 0. Load must be less or equal to scale maximum.
`[requireStable]`	By default stable weight during calibration process is mandatory otherwise calibration will not finish and error will be returned. In case you would like to store calibration even, if stability is not achieved you must set [requireStable] to 0 and calibration will be stored regardless of weight stability.
`<status>`	Status represent current status of calibration with @ followed by status character which can be: S - calibration started C – calibration of point in progress F – calibration finished E – calibration error (unstable weight, ADC points less than previous point etc.)
`<channel>`	Channel represent scale on which calibration is being executed – 1-4.
`<repNo>`	Calibration requires stable weight therefore there will be up to 10 repetitions. If stability is not reached in 10 repetitions calibration will fail unless require stable parameter was set to 0. If stability is achieved before 10th repetition calibration will finish sonner.
`<adcPoints>`	Signal from load cell expressed in points
`<factor>`	Factor that was calculated for this point and provided load.

DCAL – Delete calibration

Table 55

Command
`DCAL=<point>`	Delete calibration point 0-8. If point is 99 it will delete all calibration points.
Response
`DCAL=A,<point> DCAL=E,<point>`	Calibration point deleted successfully. Deletion of calibration point failed (wrong point).

Multi channel

By default scale works as single channel which means each channel can be connected to different platform and have different metrological data such as capacity, readout, filter etc.. Scale has four channels. In multi channel you can connect up to for load cells or platforms and get from every load cell ADC points and mV which is especially useful if you do not want to use junction boxes and monitor each load cell separately/platform while having only one calibration.

SAM – Scale ADC mode

Metrological data – scale parameters

Metrological and calibration data are stored in parameters described in the table below.

Note: you can manually send any parameter to scale via any connection interface to which you set scale. Important is that you follow proper structure and start the command with SSD. See example below the table.

Input and outputs

Inputs

In order to use digital inputs you must first configure them as by default all inputs are disabled.

Each digital input has two modes:

On/off
Counter

In on/off mode digital input acts as switch. If function is set it will also trigger function execution (e.g. zero scale, tare scale, etc) otherwise you can use it as you wish by monitoring it’s status.

In counter mode digital input will increase counter value each time the state of input is high. Counter value is also stored so even after module reboot it is still available. Off-course you have possibilities to set and reset counter value.

SIF – get or set input configuration parameters

SIF command is used to setup input mode which can be on/off (classic input mode) or counter.

Frequently asked questions

Which interfaces support CSCP?

CSCP can be used through the device interfaces configured for the protocol. The same command structure is used; match the connection settings before exchanging commands.

How do I back up and restore scale parameters?

Read the parameters with RSD and save the response. To restore them, replace its initial R with S to form SSD. Apply the stored settings with IS or restart the scale.

How do I distinguish check counting from checkweighing?

PMC sets limits for the number of pieces; PMW sets limits for weight. Read counting data with PCSX and checkweighing data with CWX. PMI reads the current target and tolerance settings.

What is the difference between SOT and SOF?

SOT reads or changes output states. SOF reads or changes the assigned output functions. SOT,00=99 reads all states; SOF,00=99 reads all functions.
