2.1.2. Hardware - Typical Overview
The typical hardware in a system that the MultiWeigher software will interface to, consist of a
personal computer, multi-port serial to Ethernet device server and several scales, indicators,
checkweighers or other weighing equipment.
There is a practical maximum limit of 255 scales that can be connected at any one time in a
single weight data capture system. The scales MUST be capable of either transmitting
weight data by manual print button, transmit continuously or the MultiWeigher software can
command-request the weight data from the scale if this function is available in the scale.
The personal computers will be set at a particular IP address and Subnet mask on the
network so it is important to set the Ethernet device server in the same IP and Sub mask
range.
The Ethernet device server allows for the scales to be set as different serial port data
formats i.e. 7, e, 1 or 8, n, 1 on the same network, these settings in the Ethernet device
server can either be configured using the Network Enabler Administrator software or by
using Windows Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
