INSTRUMENT COMPATIBILITY

Utilizing the Auto-Learn feature, the SB500 display can be driven by the following Cardinal
weight indicators and by most weight indicators from other manufacturers. Should
configuration be required, Cardinal provides the Smart Configuration software for serial
updating of the display.
Current Models:
180, 190, 204, 200, 212/212X, and 825
205, 210, 210FE, 212G/212GX, 225 (with USB)
Legacy Models
204S, 215, 220, 777 Series, 778 Series and 788 Series
205, 210, 210FE, 212/212X, 212G/212GX, 225 (without USB)
The display interface can auto-learn most serial protocols (automatically selects input
protocol). The interface auto detects baud rates between 2400 and 19200 baud with the
following settings:
Baud rate
Data bits
Parity
Character format
One user protocol can be entered into the display using the serial port and Cardinal software.
The SB500 display has been designed to be linked or daisy-chained to other SB500 displays
allowing multiple lines of weight data to be displayed while being driven by a single serial port
on the weight indicating instrument. Typical applications might consist of three displays
showing Gross, Net and Tare weights from a single indicator or four displays showing the
weight from each of three platforms and a total weight also from a single weight indicator.
Special application software is required in the indicator for multiple displays, and is not part of
the SB500 display.
