Binary Formats
Format Data Order
0 4 Byte (binary) CRLF MSB before LSB(=00H)
2 2 Byte (binary) CRLF MSB, LSB
4 4 Byte (binary) CRLF LSB(=00H) before MSB
6 2 Byte (binary) CRLF LSB, MSB
8 4 Byte (binary) CRLF MSB before LSB(=Status)
ASCII Formats
Format Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3
1, 3 Weight (8) CRLF
5, 7 Weight (8) , Address(2) CRLF
9, 10 Weight (8) , Address(2) , Status (3) CRLF
11 Weight (8) , Address(2) , Extended Status (3) CRLF
Values in brackets signify the number of characters in the fixed length response.
The weight format is the sign (space or minus), followed by 7 digits 0 to 9 including
the decimal point if used.
The binary formats are useful for PLC communications in applications where
conversion of the ASCII weight string is not possible. The binary outputs can
generally be used directly by the PLC.
