This manual may occasionally make reference to Trade Use settings of the 5200. Only properly marked Trade Certified versions of the 5200 can be used in Legal for Trade applications. Trade Certification is available only on 5200 instruments with software Versions 1.0 and above.
The extended protocol allows for complete calibration and control of a multi-drop network of up to 32 5200 instruments. This protocol is used by the View5200 program to calibrate and configure the 5200 instruments. The Viewer TEST tab can be used as a convenient terminal to test the 5200 communications.

Indicates that the command was either not understood or could not be performed. Specific queries cause the 5200 to respond with the data requested by the query. For example, if the 5200 was setup with address 4 it would respond with 04 to the ADR? query. 2.3.3. Parameters The following rules apply to parameters: •...
60000 the 5200 operation is blocked and it must be returned to the factory. Note that the 5200 does not check to see if the new data is different from the old data before incrementing the Trade Counter, so sending IAD1,6000 will increment the counter even if the 5200 is already setup with a fullscale of 6000 kg.
0 to 1 (0: Off, 1: On) calibration during motion The 5200 performs an automatic temperature calibration to ensure that changes in ambient temperature do not affect accuracy. During this calibration no new data is received. The time taken for this calibration depends on the sync frequency according to the following formula: 6 / sync frequency (seconds).
The ADR command is used to assign the instrument address via the communications network. The following procedure can be used if a 5200 (with a known serial number) and an unknown (or not unique) address is attached to a multi-drop network.

Status Information Latched The 5200 contains both current and latched error status flags. The latched errors are only cleared by resetting the instrument (ie. using the RES command or powering off). The response string is four hexadecimal characters representing the 16 error bits.

Rinstrum - 5200 Communications Manual Rev 1.2 The status bits are additive. For example, if the load cell cable is disconnected and therefore neither sense line is connected, the resulting status setting will be 00C0 (0040 + 0080). The numbers add in hexadecimal as follows:...
