This protocol allows to read the weighted values of spools in the scales
produced by ALYA Poprad. It can be used when several scales are connected to a
line, since it contains the scale addressing.
For communication with one scale, you may use a simpler protocol
ALYA Gina.
ALYA Spool enables to send a request to several scales (they may be selected by
the station parameter Scales).
Each scale can send a response in the format <STX><váha><tara><materiál><stanovište><návin><ETX><CRC>,
where:
- <STX> start byte (02H)
- <váha> 7 bytes for material weight, e.g. " 23.00"
- <tara> 6 bytes for tare, e.g. " 0.00"
- <materiál> 4 bytes for material code, e.g. "0000"
- <stanovište> 4 bytes for number of stand, e.g. " 331"
- <návin> 1 byte for package. 1=full package, 0=non-full package
- <ETX> stop byte (03H)
- <CRC> check sum
Example of response:
<STX> 23.00 0.000000 3311<ETX>2
The address of I/O tag is number of stand, on which the weight was measured.
Communication line configuration
- Communication line category: Serial, SerialOverUDP Device Redundant
Communication station configuration
- Communication protocol: ALYA Spool
- Station address is not important.
Configuration dialog window -
tab "Protocol parameters".
They influence some optional
parameters of protocol.
Table 1
| Parameter | Meaning | Unit | Default value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wait Timeout | Timeout between the reading response until it is completed. | ss.mss | 00.050 |
| Wait First Timeout | First timeout for reading response after sending a message. | ss.mss | 00.100 |
| Max Wait Retry | Number of retry reading the response until it is completed. | - | 4 |
| Retry Count | Number of retry requests in case of error in communication. | - | 2 |
| Scales | Scale addresses separated by comma that will be requested. The scale
address is a capital letter. In periodic data reading, KOM process tries to
communicate with all configured scales and reads the values from them. Example: A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P |

I/O tag configuration
I/O tags: AI
I/O tag address - number of stand.
I/O tag value is a weight of spools measured on the entered stands.
