Rice Lake 880 Performance Series Indicator/Controller Technical/Service Manual - Manual (Page 105)

Appendix 99
Example:
To send the XG#1 command from an ASCII terminal to an indicator at address 65 (decimal) on the
RS-485 network, use the format shown in Figure 10-2.
• The keyboard equivalent for the start-of-text ( STX ) character is CONTROL-B (see Table 10-10 on
page 105).
• The indicator address (65) is represented by an upper case “A”.
• The carriage return (CR) character is generated by pressing the
ENTER
key.
Therefore, to send the XG#1 command to the indicator at address 65, enter the following at the terminal: 
<C ONTROL -B>AXG#1<CR>
The indicator will respond with <STX>A 1234.00 lb<CR><LF><ETX><CR>, gross weight and units. See
Section 6.0, for other commands that can be used.
10.7 Custom Stream Formatting – Input/Output
The format of the streamed data can be configured for the COM, USBCOM, Ethernet Server and Ethernet Client
ports individually through the front panel using the tokens in Table 10-6. Configuration is available for stream
input/output tokens through EDP commands only; no front panel access is provided.
Format Identifier Defined By Description
<P[G | N | T]> STR.POS
STR.NEG Polarity. Outputs the positive or negative polarity label for the current or
specified (Gross/Net/Tare) weight on the source scale. Possible values are
SPACE, NONE, + (for STR.POS), or – (for STR.NEG)
<U[P | S | T]> STR.PRI
STR.SEC
STR.TER Units. Outputs the primary, secondary, or tertiary* units label for the current or
specified (Primary/Secondary/Tertiary*) weight on the source scale.
<M[G | N | T]> STR.GROSS
STR.NET
STR.TARE Mode. Outputs the gross, net, or tare label for the current or specified weight
(Gross/Net/Tare) on the source scale.
<S> STR.MOTION
STR.RANGE
STR.OK
STR.INVALID
STR.ZERO Outputs the status for the source scale. Default values and meanings for each
status:
STR.MOTION M In motion
STR.RANGE O Out of range
STR.OK <space> OK
STR.INVALID I Invalid
STR.ZERO Z COZ
<B [–]n,…> See
descriptions
below Bit fields. Comma-separated sequence of bit field specifiers. Must be exactly 8
bits. Minus sign ([–]) inverts the bit.
B0 - Always 0
B1 - Always 1
B2 Configuration =1 if even parity
B3 Dynamic =1 if MODE=NET
B4 Dynamic =1 if COZ (center of zero)
B5 Dynamic =1 if motion
B6 Dynamic =1 if displayed gross or net weight is negative
B7 Dynamic =1 if out of range
B8 Dynamic =1 if secondary/tertiary*
B9 Dynamic =1 if tare in system
B10 Dynamic =1 if tare is keyed
B11 Dynamic =00 if MODE=GROSS
=01 if MODE=NET
=10 if UNITS=TERTIARY*
=11 (not used)
