3.Command Overview
3.1Commandsand Queries
Acommand consistsof three ASCII-characters(eg IDN).
AqueryconsistsoffourASCII charactersand endswithaquestion
mark(e.g. IDN?).
3.2Responses
The 5100 respondswith0CRLF toindicatethatacommand hasbeen
accepted or?CRLF toindicatethatthe command waseithernot
understood orcouldnot be performed.
Specificqueriescausethe 5100 torespond withthe datarequested by
the query.(e.g.The 5100 wouldrespond with4 CRLF toaADR?
Queryif it wassetup withaddress 4)
3.3Parameters
Acommand orquerycan be followed byone ormoreparameters.
Parametersareeithernumeric(e.g. 3000)orstrings(e.g. “Fred”).
String parametersaredelimited byquotecharacters(‘“’ASCII 34).
Theyaretaken literallysothat “AbCd”isnot the sameas“abcd”.
Numericparametersarevariableand leading and trailing spacesare
ignored. Asaresult 003 03 and 3areidentical.
Parametersareseparated bythe commasign (‘,’ASCII 44).
Parametersmaybe left outcompletelysothatitispossibletochange
one parameterwithoutaltering the others.ForexampleIAD1,,2;will
change the position of the decimalpoint only.
3.4Termination
Termination charactersaresenttodefine the end of acommand, query
orresponse.
Permissibletermination charactersare‘;’(ASCII 59), LF (ASCII 10),
CRLF (ASCII 13 10),LFCR (ASCII 10 13).E.g.ADR?;isthe sameas
ADR? CRLF
The 5100 always uses CRLF asthe termination of itsresponses.
3.5TradeCounter:
All trade relevantfunctionsareguarded bythe trade counter.Thereis
no differenceinchanging settingsviathe communicationsinterfaceor
viathe frontpanel.If the counterreaches60000 the 5100 operation is
blocked and it must be returned tothe factory.
Notethatthe 5100 doesnotcheck tosee ifnewdataisdifferentfrom
the olddatabeforeincrementing the Trade Counter,sosending
IAD1,6000 will incrementthe countereven ifthe 5100 issetup witha
fullscaleof 6000 kgalready.
It ispossibletoblock all changestotrade relevantparametersby
setting aFull Setup Passcode.If suchapasscode hasbeen settrade
parameterscan onlybe changed viathe serialportafteraPCD
command hasbeen sent withthe correct passcode.

ParameterDetails
Parameter Description Range Default
1 Address 0.. 31 31
2 SerialNumber “0000001”
.. “9999999” “xxxxxxx” factoryset
Each5100 mustbe assigned aunique address toenablethe implementation
ofamulti-drop network.Thisaddress can be setusing the digitalsetup
menusasdescribed inthe ReferenceManual.It isalsopossibletousethe
networkitselftosetthe unitaddresses.The ADDRESS COMMAND isused
toassign the unit address viathe communicationsnetwork,
Beforethe address ofaunitcan be changed the unitmustbe selected to
respond tocommands.The SELECTCOMMAND (see Sect4.39 pg 34)is
used toselectaunit. If the currentaddress ofthe unitisknownusethisto
selectthe unit, ifnotissue the S99;command toselectall units.To
distinguishbetween unitsofthe sameaddress usethe serialnumber
parameterofthe ADDRESS COMMAND.The serialnumberisunique to
eachunitand onlythe unitwiththe matching serialnumberwill respond to
the ADDRESS COMMAND.If neitherthe currentaddress norserialnumber
ofthe unitsisknown,turnoff all the unitsinthe networkand then turnon one
unitatatime.The combination ofS99;and ADR command will then allow
eachunit tobe configured.
Example1:
Change address of unit from1to2
S01;Select unit 1
