ADVANCED USE MANUAL DD700
1 PREMISE FOR THE ADVANCED USER MANUAL
This manual is dedicated to customising the terminal to adapt it to the weighing system that it is part
of. It also contains descriptions of software controls to interface with
PCs, PCLs and hosts in general.
WARNING
Customisation does not affect the weighing functions in any way, however, if not implemented
correctly they can jeopardise operation of the entire system. Only use qualified and expert
technicians to modify the functions described in this section.
1.1 Legend
The following manual applies to operations present in different models defined at time of purchase.
Below the notation in this manual.
*
Model "1" operation: Single weighing, Sum weighing, Double
weighing, Loading extraction, Unloading extraction and double
weighing.
**
Model “2” operation: standard, Sum weighing, piece counter,
manual selector, Weighing check and Multi operator.
***
Model "3" model see "1" with selection management scale "A" or
"B" to the exclusion.
If you do not specify anything, it means present in all models.

ADVANCED USE MANUAL DD700
2 COMMUNICATION PROGRAMMING ON SERIAL
LINES
2.1 Symbols
The symbols employed to describe the characters on serial line are provided below.
Normal characters are described by simply providing their symbol.
Control characters are between brackets and expressed in capital letters.
For ex.:
<CR> stands for carriage return.
<SP> stands for the space character.
<SOH> marks the character at the start of commands for CW(**) strings
<STX> marks the character at the start of responses for CW (**)strings
<EOL> marks the character at the end of responses for CW(**) strings and can be <CR> or <CR>
<LF>.
If necessary the hexadecimal value of the character is provided in numbers and upper case
letters.
For ex.: <CR>(0DH) or $(24H).
The variables are provided in lower case in brackets.
For ex.:
<um>=unit of measurement of weight. This can be in the values:
<SP>g = grammes, g= grammes for weight check strings(**) kg = kilogrammes
<SP>t = tonnes, t = tonnes for weight check strings(**)
lb = pounds oz = ounces
With n and y number fields are provided with spaces at the beginning, decimal separator and
minus sign.
2.2 Strings
The terminal has two serial outputs on board plus 2 optional cards that can be used to connect
external devices such as printers, personal computers, PLC and so forth. The user has the
possibility of choosing the type of output protocol from the standard ones provided on the terminal.
The user also has the option of customising data serialisation from the menu.

ADVANCED USE MANUAL DD700
2.2.6 On request with address
By selecting this option cyclical string transmission is disabled.
Remote commands are used followed by the terminal identification number.
2.2.7 Customised string
It is possible to customise the composition of the string directly from the terminal or using the
"Dialogic" program.
In the latter case, contact the Manufacturer for information.
2.2.8 Checkweight string (**)
The “Verifica Peso” (checkweight) string can only be selected in Verifica Peso/(checkweight) mode,
and can have a length varying between 18 and 21 characters.
This variation depends on:
the unit of measurement used to express the weight: if it is expressed with g or t, the unit of
measurement in the string only occupies one character, if it is expressed in kg, oz or lb the unit
of measurement occupies two characters;
type of protocol: if it is cyclical, there is a weight qualification character (unstable, overload, valid
and stable).
For simplicity, only the example of the checkweight string comprised of 21 characters is provided
below, where the weight is expressed in kg, oz or lb and the protocol is cyclical.

characters decreases by one unit.

2.2.9 CW String (**)
The CW string can only be selected in Verifica Peso/(checkweight) mode, and can have a length
varying between 15 and 17 characters.
This variation depends on:
the unit of measurement used to express the weight: if it is expressed with g or t, the unit of
measurement in the string only occupies one character, if it is expressed in kg, oz or lb the unit
of measurement occupies two characters;
type of protocol: if it is cyclical, there is a weight qualification character (unstable, overload, valid
and stable).
For simplicity, only the example of the CW string comprised of 17 characters is provided below,
where the weight is expressed in kg, oz or lb and the protocol is cyclical.

ADVANCED USE MANUAL DD700
2.2.11 Printed data string
This string can be enabled as an alternative to "CSV weighed Management" (Setup \
Personalizations\Operating Mode\ Weighing \ Management Weighing CSV).
There are 3 possible data transmission modes:
Single
The string is sent, then the data is printed.
On request, ACK-NAK, and With remote commands are the available protocols. If the ACK-NAK
protocol is selected and there is a transmission failure, "DATI NON TRASMESSI" (DATA NOT
SENT) will appear at the bottom of the printout.
Spool
The data is printed, then the string is sent. ACK-NAK is the only available protocol.
If there is a string transmission failure, instead of sending it, it is saved in an archive. Every time a
weighing operation is sent, the strings in queue in the archive will be sent first, followed by the string
relative to the current operation.
Archive
Following the weighing operation, the strings are saved in an archive. Transmission is carried out
through the command (<ENQ> (05H)). On request and ACK-NAK are the available protocols.
