Scoreboard (continuous)
The scoreboard output is an externally available signal designed to drive a numeric overhead
display board or a computer's RS-232 input.
The transmitted signal has the following characteristics:
Fixed 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
Baud rate is configurable under EE-3, see calibration section.
Transmitted data: xxxxxx<cr><lf>
The xxxxxx field will vary in length depending on the length of the number and could contain a
decimal point and/or a minus sign.
This represents the NET, GROSS, or PEAK weight, whichever is currently shown on the
PW800 display. The data is repeatedly sent out about once a second.
If your PW800 is specially fitted with a RS-232 output connector, the pin-out is as follows: Pin 2
= TXD, and pin 7 = GND. See the following pages for some example connections.
The scoreboard is designed to work with Intercomp's S400 (4 inch) and SA2000 (2 inch)
scoreboards. The following describes how to configure the S400 or SA2000 to work with the
scoreboard output.
The above diagram is the S400 switch pack layout, The SA2000 has pack C below B. The
switch is to the right for on and to the left for off.
