  • Page 27: Configuration

    Configuration Methods The 720i indicator can be configured by using the front panel keys to navigate through a series of configuration menus or by sending commands or configuration data to an indicator serial port. Configuration using the menus is described in Section 4.1.3 on page 22.

  • Page 28: Serial Command Configuration

    4.1.3 Front Panel Configuration By default, the 720i is configured to use the installed single-channel A/D as the source for Scale 1. To configure the 720i for serial scale support, use the Config submenu under the Scales menu. For example: to configure a serial scale, set the serial input function (SERIAL menu) for Port 4 (or Port 7, if using a serial expansion card) to SCALE or INDUST (see Section 4.2.2 on page...

    The commands listed in Table 11-12 can be used to create and maintain databases in the 720i. Except for the db.delall command, all of the database commands require an extension to identify the number of the database within the memory card and the slot number of the memory card.
  • Page 103 DB.DATA. <CR> The 720i responds with the entire contents of the database. Returned data is cell-delimited with the pipe character (ASCII 124) and row-delimited with carriage returns (ASCII 13). For example, the following command could be used to return the contents of database 1 in the onboard memory: DB.DATA.1#0<CR>...
  • Page 104 The db.schema command is used to get or set the structure of a database. DB.SCHEMA. <CR> The 720i responds to the command above by returning the following: <Max Records>,<Current Record Count>, <Column Name>,<Data Type>,<Data Size>,...<CR> The <Column Name>, <Data Type>, and <Data Size> elements repeat for each column in the database.

    12.1.1 Option Card Diagnostic Errors Option cards are detected by the 720i at power-up. If the current indicator configuration requires an option card but that card is not detected at power-up, an error similar to the following is displayed:...

  • Page 107: Using The Hardware Command

    The HARDWARE serial command can be issued to verify that all installed cards are recognized by the system. The HARDWARE command returns a string of card type codes. The first digit represents the single-channel A/D of the 720i; the second digit represents the card, if any, installed in the expansion slot: HARDWARE=3,4 Table 12-2 lists the card codes returned by the HARDWARE command.

    12.1.5 Using the XE Serial Command The XE serial command can be used to remotely query the 720i for the error conditions shown on the front panel. The XE command returns a decimal number representing any existing error conditions. For multi-scale applications, the value returned by the XE command represents all error conditions, if any, present on all configured scales.

  • Page 110: Serial Scale Interface

    Serial port 4 or the expansion port can be configured for serial scale input. The serial scale function allows other scale indicators to send gross, net, or tare weight data to the 720i. Once a serial port has been configured to accept scale data, the data format can be customized to match the data stream sent by that indicator.

  • Page 114: Data Formats

    Demand Output Serial Data Format When demand mode is configured for the serial port (STREAM parameter set to OFF), the 720i uses a data string formatted for a basic ticket printout. The particular ticket format printed depends on the indicator configuration.

  • Page 115: Digital Filtering

    Appendix If the initiating device address matches the port address of an 720i on the RS-485 network, that indicator responds. For example, with demand outputs, or in response to a KPRINT command, the responding indicator uses the format shown in Figure 12-3.
