This protocol enables to read the weighted values from scales produced by ALYA Poprad.
It can be used only when connecting one scale to a line, since it does not
contain an addressing of scale.
For communication with more scales, you may use ALYA SPOOL
protocol.
Note: to get the communication started with a specific device, signals DTR and RTS had to be set to ON, therefore communication line SerialOverUDP Device Redundant with MOXA Nport-5110 converter set to UDP mode could not be used (UDP mode does not support setting DTR and RTS to a fixed value). Instead, the converter NPort-5110 had to be switched to Real COM mode and Serial line had to be configured.

They influence some of optional parameters of protocol.
Table 1
Key word | Full name | Meaning | Unit | Default value |
---|---|---|---|---|
WT | Wait Timeout | Delay between the readings of response until it is completed. | ms | 100 millisec. |
WFT | Wait First Timeout | First waiting on response after sending the call. | ms | 100 millisec. |
MWR | Max Wait Retry | Number of response reading retry until it is completed. | - | 6 |
RC | Retry Count | Number of call retries if some error in communication occurs. | - | 2 |
Possible I/O tag types: AI
Addresses of I/O tags:
Note: Providing that a scale sent a message, which means that the platform is not stabilized yet, the values of NET and TARA has an invalid value.
