If you have the correct communications parameters set in the BC-Wedge software, you should be able to see a weight reading in the text box labeled "Input Data From Scanner" when you press the Print button on your scale. "The parallel port is a 25-pin female (socket) connector. I happen to experiment with ESP8266 boards using the Arduino IDE which has a Serial Monitor function so I used that. 0000006156 00000 n This section will contain a list of all COM ports that are installed on your PC. After you install BC-Wedge, run it and select the COM port for your scale from the COM Port drop down list in the main BC-Wedge window. 0000008020 00000 n 0000116877 00000 n 4 years ago. HUn6}W* cw6)u Note that if everything is OK then the serial number of your scales should be shown in the SerialNumber Tag. The PS range of scales from Mettler Toledo (PS90, PS60, PS30, PS6L, PS3L) supports a USB connection. Turn to factory-trained experts for professional installation of industrial bench scales and portable scalesto ensure proper operation from day one. Toledo PS60-5155 150lb Flat Top. Requires custom software on the computer. RS232 cables come in two varieties called "Modem Cables" and "Null Modem Cables". Also, you want to make sure the cable is connected correctly to . 0000005185 00000 n So we have now proven that the hardware is working and that we can communicate with the scales and receive responses. The scales correctly responded with a serial number of 2422747, all good so far. First step is to connect the RS232 convertor into the scales and connect it to your computer (Im using a windows based PC but this will work on a Mac or Linux machine as well). All of the Mettler Toledo scales use a communication protocol called MT-SICS (Mettler Toledo Standard Interface Command Set) which is detailed here. If everything is working correctly, you should see the weight value appear in Excel. Is it worth it?? If your scale has a USB connection then you would need to determine what connector is on the scale. You may want to contact the manufacturer of the scale to find out if it uses a Modem or a Null Modem cable before making a purchase. 0000007092 00000 n (The "Flow Control" option and the "Scanner Beep String" can be ignored.) If your scale has a USB connection but does not come with a driver or if you fail to install the driver, then it will not be possible to read in data from the scale using off-the-shelf software tools (like the BC-Wedge software wedge) and you will need to contact the scale's manufacturer to find out what software tools they have that you can use. You can also have data go into the workbook(s) when you want. Note: If you want just the weight values (without leading spaces or the units) to be stacked in a column in Excel automatically each time you press the Print button, check the checkbox labeled "Filter Out Non Numeric Characters" and select the word "{DOWN}" from the "Postamble Keystrokes" dropdown list in the BC-Wedge window. If that does not work then can you describe in more detail exactly what you are seeing? This connection is ideal for use with ERP-Scale as ERP-Scale supports the USB HID . You could have a button in the workbook that you click on when you want a reading or you could have the weight values read in at a regular time interval or when you press a button on the scales. If your scale has a RS232 port but your PC only has USB ports, you can purchase a RS232 to USB converter cable at any computer or office supply store for under $25.00. 0000129584 00000 n Since the majority of scales I have come across in factories (and the set of scales I have sitting on my desk) only have RS232 ports Im going to concentrate purely on RS232. 0000159883 00000 n Try setting the Number Of Data Bits to "7", and the Parity to "Even" and then try each different Baud Rate until you see data that contains weight values that match what is on the scale's display. 4 0 obj Modem cables have the wires in the cable running straight through and Null Modem cables have the transmit and receive lines crossed in the cable. Virtually all of the weigh scales I have come across have either an RS232 port or both an RS232 port and an ethernet port. 0000008831 00000 n 8E2+1BG(Ia I8Ci$RBonto]5BbYc 4g>wioZ9Z))Y$uiK.
