3. Introduction and Specifications
The all-in-one Digital Amplifier DAD 141.1 is a universal device for any weighing, filling or loss-in-weight
operation and for force measurements with strain gage sensors. The DAD141 is for DIN (TS35) rail mount.
To grant the quality and allow legal weighing the DAD141.1 is OIML R-76 approved (pending) and meet the
MID E2 requirements to EMC.
The standard device includes all the communication facilities needed for industrial weighing, control and
registration, i.e. analog current or voltage output (0/4…20 mA, 0…5V, 0…10V, -5V…+5V and -10V…+10V),
Ethernet, RS 422/485 and logic I/O’s for direct control of valves or bars etc.
The device can be controlled either by the front keys, via RS 422/485 port or Ethernet port. 2 logic inputs and 3
logic outputs make complex control functions easy. The 3 logic outputs can be controlled external, too.
The device features fullfills multi-drop communications capability and can be programmed via a straightforward
ASCII command set. It is theoreticaly possible to connect 256 nodes on a network using the type of RS485
transceivers the DAD 141.1 use. The addressing allow 255 units (1 to 255).

4. Communications and Getting started
4.1. Serial Interface
Communicating with the digital amplifier DAD 141.1 is carried out via serial RS 422/485 port.
The data format is the familiar 8/N/1 structure (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit).
Available baud rates of RS 422/485 port are as follows: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200 baud.
Factory default: 115200 baud
4.2. Command Language
The command set of the DAD 141.1 is based on a simple ASCII format (2 letters). This enables the user to
setup the device, get results or check parameters.
Example: DAD 141.1 is connected via the RS 485 port to a PC / PLC system. You want to get the identity,
firmware version or net weight.
Remark: In this manual means: “_“ Space in the setup command and ““ Enter (CR); sending of a linefeed
(LF) is not required and will be ignored by the device if neccessary.

4.3. Baud Rate
For baud rate setup use command BR, see chapter 10.10.3.
Factory default: 115200 baud
4.4. Getting Started Via RS422/485
You will require:
PC or PLC with a RS 422/485 communication port
A load cell / scale with test weights or a load cell simulator
A 12-24 VDC power supply capable of delivering approximately 200mA for each DAD 141.1
and load cell(s)
One or more DAD 141.1
A suitable ASCII communication software **
Refer to the wiring diagrams in chapter 5.
**
You can easily communicate between a PC and a DAD 141.1 using programs such as Procomm, Telemate,
Kermit, HyperTerminal or HTerm etc.
Additional the powerful software DOP 4 with graphical user interface and oscilloscope function for the operating
systems Windows XP/Vista/7/8 is available.
Hint:
A download of a new firmware version can be done with the software H&B programmer 3.0 (or later). The
download can be done via RS485 at a baud rate of 115200 or via Ethernet interface.

Modbus TCP, embedded in TCP/IP packages, protocol binary data, TCP port 502
The factory default TCP/IP address of DAD 141.1 is 192.168.0.100. You can change the address in the
menu 8.6 (chapter 7.10) via front panel or via the command NA (network address).
In case you have your DAD 141.1 connected in a LAN (local area network), which offers additional WLAN
(wireless local area network) access, we offer you the Smartphone App ‘AnDOP’ for OS Android.
This ‘State Of The Art’ software offers you an easy access to the DAD 141.1 like:
- Display of gros, net and average value
- Proceed a calibration
- Change of setup
- Data recording of static & dynamic measurements
- Recorded data showing as graph.
4.6. Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU
The DAD 141.1 supports both, Modbus RTU (via RS422/485 port) and Modbus TCP (via Ethernet port).
Modbus TCP, embedded in TCP/IP packages, protocol binary data, TCP port 502
Modbus RTU (binary data).
For Modbus communication please use the separate manual. In this manual you find only for each command
the corresponding Modbus Index. In case of no index, the command is not available for Modbus use.

Colour code of standard Flintec load cells
5.3. Load Cell Connection
The load cell wiring should be made carefully before energizing to avoid damages to the amplifier and the load
cells. The input resistance of the load cells that you want to connect should be ≥50 Ω (ohms).
In case of using a load cell / scale with 4 wire cable, you have to short-circuit (bridge) the pins 1 & 2 and 6 & 7.
Remark: Please don’t shorten the 4 wire cable of a load cell, as the cable is part of the factory calibration
(signal & temperature compensation).

Setup or changes of calibration can only be performed with an
open seal switch (28). Changes lead to get a new TAC value of
+ 1.
Running a legal for trade application needs the jumper
connected to the switch pins and a seal. A broken seal shows
up changes of calibration, which are not allowed.
Protected commands see next page.
The serial port supports two protocols:
-ASCII (characters) and
-Modbus RTU (binary data).

5.8. Logic Inputs & Outputs
The DAD 141.1 offers 2 isolated logic inputs and 3 isolated logic outputs.
The 2 inputs can e.g. get the function act as the ZERO or TARE button, see chapter 10.8.1.
The 3 outputs act as switches for setpoints with hysteresis, switch behavior etc. Several bases can be used like
net weight, peak weight value or average value, see chapter 10.9.x.
5.9. Analog Outputs
The DAD 141.1 offers 2 isolated analog outputs for current
and voltage. For your application you can choose one of the
six modes like:
4to 20mA / 0 to 20mA
0to +5V / 0 to +10V
-5 to +5V / -10 to +10V.
