50 DC-788 Operation Manual
Data about an ID Code is only transmitted if an ID Code has been recalled from the scale’s memory.
The data transmitted (if present in memory and unless modified by the specifications discussed
below) is as follows:
1) ID Code
2) Set Point
3) Gross Weight
4) Net Weight
5) Unit Weight
6) Tare Weight
7) Quantity
8) Total Quantity
9) Status
10) Part Number
11) Part Name
12) Inventory
13) Scale Number
14) Date and Time
Specifications can be set to turn on and off the transmission of certain data fields in different
combinations:
• SPC11, Bit 3 - Tare Weight in the Text of RS-232C
• SPC11, Bit 2 - Unit Weight in the Text of RS-232C
• SPC11, Bit 1 - Gross Weight in the Text of RS-232C
• SPC11, Bit 0 - Quantity in the Text of RS-232C
• SPC12, Bit 3 - Date & Time in the Text of RS-232C
Additional Parity:
If needed, additional parity can be added to the RS-232C data string. It is set in SPC10, Bit 0 -
Additional Parity Code in Text of RS-232C (0: No; 1: Yes). Note that if the additional parity is equal
to 0DH, 0AH, or 00H, it will be automatically changed to 1DH, 1AH, or 10H.
LF:
A Line Feed (“LF”) must be added at the end as a transmission termination code.
Data Transmission Examples
Example 1:
If the following are true: Net Weight = 3.456
Tare Weight = 1.200
Unit Weight = 1.5000 (kg/1000 pcs)
Quantity = 2304
Weight Status = Stable
(with header codes and without additional parity)
The data transmission will be as follows:
Status Flag: 0x42
Weight Condition Flag: 0x42
0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0
0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0
