  • Page 5: Introduction

    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.

  • Page 8: Overview

    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: •...
  • Page 9: Termination

    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.
  • Page 10: Command Details

    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).
  • Page 11: Adr: Set Address

    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.
