Most scales can also be configured to output data at stability so you could data go into the workbook automatically when the scale stabilizes.Basically, you can make it work whatever way you want. Leave the software running. In this series of blogs I will discuss the hardware options, the software options and how to configure DMC. 0000008286 00000 n

/O (A[Q]w]xa;Z&K. So we have now proven that the hardware is working and that we can communicate with the scales and receive responses. My code is below If your scale has a USB connection then you would need to determine what connector is on the scale. Connect your Balance RS232 port to your PC RS232 (if you do not have an RS232 port on your PC you can use a RS232 to USB adapter). Download and install the Mettler Toledo SerialPortToKeyboard (as of March 2017 can be found here ). 0000010087 00000 n
So the first challenge is how do I get the data from the scales into the corporate network so that it can be passed to DMC, so far I can see 3 hardware options. Through tailored configuration of your equipment, we can optimize its performance and functionality with: Literature: White Papers, Guides, Brochures. The steps below will show you how to connect your scale to a PC and identify what port the scale is connected to and also how to input weight readings directly into Microsoft Excel. eBF()cw>\{#,+G8fz365p. Click the Test Scale button to test the scale and settings. Would it be possible to do this using multiple scales with one PC? 0000004818 00000 n
I have modified the original blog to highlight that this means its not currently supported by DMC but also added it here incase you had already read part 1. Optimizing your industrial bench scale's and portable scale's capabilities is important to achieve operational efficiency and top performance.

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). Contact Mettler Toledo Tech Support for help downloading and installing. Start->All Programs->Mettler Toledo->MTOPOS-EUS Driver->MTOPOSAdmin Do not "Run as Administrator" the Admin program. Note: If your scale connects directly to a USB port or if you are using a RS232 to USB converter, make sure that the scale or the converter is connected to the PC and that it's device driver is installed before looking in the Device Manager. 0000159883 00000 n
Now configure the Baud rate (Speed) of the RS232 to be as fast as possible (19200 in my case) Please note that the length of the RS232 cable effects the reliable speed of communication. Download and install the Mettler Toledo SerialPortToKeyboard (as of March 2017 can be found here). For productive use I would always consider using a commercially available SDK as this will include support or use an open source project that has a support option available. In this example, we will use a product called BC-Wedge from TAL Technologies, Inc.. 0000071871 00000 n
Some of the more expensive and capable scales also support a communication command set called Shared Data Server (SDS) but for this blog I will only cover MT-SICS as its the most wide spread. HiApologies for being pendant, but the instruments discussed above are BALANCES, they measure mass. 4 0 obj
This is the software version installed in the scales. Typically the driver is provided on a CD with the cable and you normally install the driver first before you connect the cable to your PC for the first time.

Mettler Toledo XPE204 (though all newer Mettler Toledo Balances should work). Writing a 1 (or true) to this tag will send a command to the scales to read the Stable Weight, this means that the scales will wait until the weight has stabilized before sending the data. So, as mentioned in part 1 I am going to use a RS232 to USB convertor. Reply 0000009863 00000 n
Now configure the scales so that the interface is in Dialog mode and not Print mode, this allows the scale communicate using the RS232 interface rather than only sending data when the print button is pressed. Use your balance and send data (depending on settings of your balance data may automatically get sent). Connect your Balance RS232 port to your PC RS232 (if you do not have an RS232 port on your PC you can use a RS232 to USB adapter). Repeat this for the ReadWeightImmediateRepeat tag and place something onto your scales and you will see the Weight tag increase in value. 0000100697 00000 n
A scale is typically a device that that has a spring in it and its output is a function of spring-stretch and it measures weight.

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. Amazon.com also sells them for around $10. The first thing to check is that COM 5 is set as the port for the Mettler Toledo 8213 in PostalMate. A serial device server is a small piece of hardware that allows you to connect a RS232 / 422 / 485 device and connect it to your network. Both are correct.cheersBlindphoton (Bill)BSc, MRACS, Chartered Chemist, Reply The settings are based on the default communication settings of the PS scale.

The USB ports on a PC are always Type A USB ports therefore if your scale has a Type B USB port, you would need to get a USB cable that has a Type A connector on one end and a Type B connector on the other. In any case, if you were to us a software product like WinWedge from TALtech (www.taltech.com/WinWedge), you could configure the software to send the command out the RS232 port at a regular time interval so that you get much more precise control over the timing of the weight values. This box is actually a rebranded fanless PC running embedded Windows 10 with custom software. I am still investigating why. According to the MT-SICS documentation you send the character @ to reset the scales and it should respond with the serial number of the scales. SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud now supports process industry scenarios as well as discrete industry scenarios, in the 2111 release it is planned (Subject To Change) to release a weigh and dispense capability, so what does that mean when it comes to machine integration? You may need to read the users manual for the scale or contact its manufacturer to learn exactly how it works. Contact Mettler Toledo Tech Support for help connecting. on Introduction. If your scale does not have a Print button, it does not necessarily mean that you cannot send weight data to a PC. Virtually all of the weigh scales I have come across have either an RS232 port or both an RS232 port and an ethernet port. This is the RS232 port of my Mettler Toledo scales. You can learn about other features available in the BC-Wedge program by selecting Help - Index from the BC-Wedge main menu. Typically they convert the serial messages into unsolicited TCP socket messages which are supported by PCo but not by DMC. This should start the server and display the following: Now open UAExpert and press the + icon in the tool bar to add a new server, Now double click the Add server text and enter localhost:4335.

So, as mentioned in part 1 I am going to use a RS232 to USB convertor. In a few months, SAP Community will switch to SAP Universal ID as the only option to login. Because of this, you should be able to send weight values directly into any program that you can type data into - including database programs, shipping software, or just about any other Windows program. You also have better control over when to start and stop the data outputs.I would recommend looking in the user's manual for your particular balance the learn what options are available in the balance and also what commands it responds to.If you have questions, feel free to give me a call at 215-496-0222Just as for Tom or anyone in support if I am not available.
