Hi, Simon.

You have a set of serial port functions available in the Xbase-Tools-library (part of the prof. subscription, otherwise available as an add-on). All you need in addition are the communication parameters (baudrate, handshake a.s.o.) and the data format transmitted, which should be documented in the data sheets of the scales. Serial communication is quite simple. You need to open the port and permanently ask for new data coming in, receive the data and transform them as needed.

Hi Tom,

I've collected informations about my project (I hope )

1 - xBTolls Serial set
- I have identified in this order
. Com_Open()
. Com_init()
. Com_read()
. Com_close()

- what are the syntaxe and real order ? Can I have a piece of code ?


2 - INDICATORS
- We ha 2 models of indicators ( BCIN-100M from www.epel-ind.com and IDé400 from www.masterk.com)
. BCIN - 100M (see attached data format_BCIN_0)
. Data format 1 + 8 octets
. Transmission 9600, parity NONE, Bits 8

. IDé 400 (see attached data_format_ide400_0 and data_format_ide400_1

How to proceed ?

I think that thoses informations will help you to help me.

N.B If necessary, I can send the technical documentation in my possession.

Regards
Simon

You can get a connection with TeamViewer_Setup for me to connect to the PC which is connected weightBridge
Try to do a very a small program that I designed to test the door and see what you sent me.
