Configuring the Interface
Configure the UniCOM universal data
interface for connection of either a
peripheral device or a second weighing
platform/digital compact scale by
selecting the corresponding settings in
the operating menu. The diagram on
the left shows the relevant section of
the operating menu.
RS-485/422 Interface
If the PCB is configured for use in the
RS-422 operating mode, you can select
menu item "SBI" and "XBPI-232".
Analog Interface
You can configure the following para-
meters in the operating menu:
– Output value (menu line 8-12):
8-12-1: Net value (factory setting)
8-12-2: Gross value
– Error display (menu line 8-13):
8-13-1: High level (20 mA)
(factory setting)
8-13-2: Low level (0/4 mA):
5 V on this interface during
operation.
– Output mode (menu line 8-14):
8-14-1: zero to max. load
(factory setting)
8-14-2: min./max. values
– Output of min./max. values
(menu line 8-15):
8-15-1: min. (0/4 mA) input in kg
8-15-2: max. (20 mA) input in kg
Profibus Interface
In the UNICOM menu, under PROFIB
set the bus address (0 to 126; factory
setting: 126).
Ethernet Interface
Enter the required numbers in the
UNICOM menu under Ethernet >
Source IP, Ethernet > ListenPort, etc.
Under "Source name" you can enter
letters and numbers. Enter up to
15 characters.
Port numbers
Range: 0 – 65535
Because many of the ports up to 49150
are already allocated, we recommend
using numbers higher than 49150.
This does not apply for Modbus/TCP,
as port number 502 is used here (see
the operating instructions for the field
bus module).
