CONTINUOUS FAST WEIGHT TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL
This protocol allows the continuous transmission of the weight at high update frequencies. Up to 300
strings per second are transmitted with a minimum transmission rate of 38400 baud.
Following communication modes available (see SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTINGS section in
instrument manual):
communication compatible with TX RS485 instruments
communication compatible with TD RS485 instruments
If  is set, the following string is transmitted to PC/PLC:
xxxxxxCRLF
where: xxxxxx ............. 6 characters of gross weight (48 57 ASCII)
CR.................... 1 character return to the start (13 ASCII)
LF..................... 1 character on new line (10 ASCII)
In case of negative weight, the first character from the left of the weight characters takes on the value “-”
(minus sign - ASCII 45).
In case of error or alarm, the 6 characters of the weight are substituted by the messages found in the
table of the ALARMS section (see the instrument manual).
If  is set, the following string is transmitted to PC/PLC:
&TzzzzzzPzzzzzz\ckckCR
where: &...................... 1 initial string character (38 ASCII)
T...................... 1 character of gross weight identification
P...................... 1 character of gross weight identification
zzzzzz .......... 6 characters of gross weight (48 57 ASCII)
\...................... 1 character of separation (92 ASCII)
ckck............... 2 ASCII control characters or calculated considering the characters included
between “&” and “\” excluded. The control value is obtained executing the XOR
operation (exclusive OR) for the 8 bit ASCII codes of the characters considered.
Therefore, a character expressed in hexadecimal is obtained with 2 numbers that
may assume values from “0” to “9” and from “A” to “F”. “ckck” is the ASCII code
of the two hexadecimal digits
CR.................... 1 character of end string (13 ASCII)
In case of negative weight, the first character from the left of the weight characters takes on the value “-”
(minus sign - ASCII 45).

Specifications and dimensions are subject to change without notice and do not constitute any liability whatsoever.
In case of error or alarm, the 6 characters of the gross weight are substituted by the messages found in
the table of the ALARMS section (see the instrument manual).
FAST TRANSMISSION VIA EXTERNAL CONTACT: it’s possible to transmit the weight, just once, even
closing an input for no more than a second (see OUTPUTS AND INPUTS CONFIGURATION and SERIAL
COMMUNICATION SETTINGS sections in instrument manual).
CONTINUOUS WEIGHT TRANSMISSION TO REMOTE DISPLAYS PROTOCOL
This protocol allows the continuous weight transmission to remote displays. The communication string is
transmitted 10 times per second.
Following communication modes available (see SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTINGS section in
instrument manual):
-: communication with RIP5/20/60, RIP50SHA, RIPLED series remote displays; the remote display
shows the net weight or gross weight according to its settings
-: communication with RIP675, RIP6125C series remote displays; the remote display shows the
net weight or gross weight according to its settings
-: communication with RIP675, RIP6125C series remote displays
The instrument sends the following string to the remote display:
&NxxxxxxLyyyyyy\ckckCR
where: &...................... 1 initial string character (38 ASCII)
N...................... 1 character of net weight identification (78 ASCII)
xxxxxx ............. 6 characters of net weight or PEAK if present (48 57 ASCII)
L....................... 1 character of gross weight identification (76 ASCII)
yyyyyy............. 6 characters of gross weight (48 57 ASCII)
\ .....................1 character of separation (92 ASCII)
ckck ................. 2 ASCII checksum characters calculated considering the characters between “&”
and “\” excluded. The checksum value is obtained from the calculation of XOR
(exclusive OR) of the 8-bit ASCII codes of the characters considered. This obtains
a character expressed in hexadecimals with two digits that can have the values
from “0” to “9” and from ”A” to “F”. “ckck” is the ASCII code of the two
hexadecimal digits
CR.................... 1 character of end string (13 ASCII)
In case of negative weight, the first character from the left of the weight characters takes on the value “-”
(minus sign - ASCII 45).
If  has been set, the decimal point at the position shown on the instrument's display can also be
transmitted. In this case, if the value exceeds 5 digits, only the 5 most significant digits are transmitted,

while if the value is negative, no more than the 4 most significant digits are transmitted. In both cases,
however, the decimal point shifts consistently with the value to display.
If  has been set, in addition to what stated in  protocol, the instrument transmits the
prompt  every 4 seconds in the gross weight field, if on the instrument, it has been carried out a net
operation (see SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE (NET/GROSS) section in instrument manual).
In case of weight value is under -99999, the minus sign “-” is sent alternated with the most significant
figure.
In case of error or alarm, the 6 characters of the gross weight and net weight are substituted by the
messages found in the table of the ALARMS section (see the instrument manual).
ASCII BIDIRECTIONAL PROTOCOL
The instrument replies to the requests sent from a PC/PLC.
It is possible to set a waiting time for the instrument before it transmits a response (see

The Netherlands 11/75 http://www.top-sensors.com
Specifications and dimensions are subject to change without notice and do not constitute any liability whatsoever.
If the zeroing works correctly the instrument sends the zeroed weight value (“000000”).
The calibration values are stored permanently in the EEPROM memory and the number of
allowed writings is limited (about 100000).
8. REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHT)
After the tare zero-setting, this function allow the operator to check the calibration obtained by using
sample weights and correct automatically any change between the displayed value and the correct
one.
Load onto the weighing system a sample weight, which must be at least 50% of the Full Scale, or make so
that that the instrument measures a corresponding mV signal.
The PC transmits the following ASCII string: $aasxxxxxxckckCR
where: s....................... calibration command (115 ASCII)
xxxxxx ............. 6 characters to indicate the value of sample weight
Possible instrument responses:
-correct reception: &aaxxxxxxt\ckckCR
-incorrect reception or full scale equal to zero: &&aa?\ckckCR
where: t....................... character of gross weight identification (116 ASCII)
xxxxxx ............. 6 characters to indicate the value of current weight
In case of correct reception, the read value has to be equal to the sample weight.
Example: calibration of the instrument no. 1 with a sample weight of 20000 kg:
query: $01s02000070(Cr)
response: &01020000t\77(Cr)
In case of correct calibration, the read value has to be “020000”.

12. CHECK-SUM CALCULATION
The two ASCII characters (ckck) are the representation of a hexadecimal digit in ASCII characters. The
check digit is calculated by executing the operation of XOR (exclusive OR) of 8-bit ASCII codes of only the
string underlined.
The procedure to perform the calculation of check-sum is the following:
-Consider only the string characters highlighted with underlining
-Calculate the exclusive OR (XOR) of 8-bit ASCII codes of the characters
Example:
character
decimal ASCII code
hexadecimal ASCII code
binary ASCII code
0
1
t
48
49
116
30
31
74
00110000
00110001
01110100
XOR =
117
75
01110101
-The result of the XOR operation expressed in hexadecimal notation is made up of 2 hexadecimal digit
(that is, numbers from 0 to 9 or letters from A to F). In this case the hexadecimal code is 0x75.
-The checksum is made up of the 2 characters that represent the result of the operation and XOR in
hexadecimal notation (in our example the character "7" and the character "5").

MODBUS-RTU PROTOCOL
The MODBUS-RTU protocol allows the management of the reading and writing of the following registries
according to the specifications found on the reference document for this Modicon PI-MBUS-300
standard.
To select the MODBUS-RTU communication see SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTINGS section in
instrument manual.
Check if the Master MODBUS-RTU in use (or the development tool) requires the disclosure of registers
based on 40001 or 0. In the first case the registers numbering corresponds to the one in the table; in the
second case the register must be determined as the value in the table minus 40001. E.g.: the register
40028 shall be reported as 27 (= 40028-40001).
Certain data, when specifically indicated, will be written directly in the EEPROM type memory. This
memory has a limited number of writing operations (100000), therefore it is necessary to pay particular
attention to not execute useless operations on said locations. The instrument in any case makes sure that
no writing occurs if the value to be memorised is equal to the value in memory.
The numerical data found below are expressed in decimal notation; if the prefix 0x is entered the
notation will be hexadecimal.
MODBUS-RTU DATA FORMAT
The data received and transmitted by way of the MODBUS-RTU protocol have the following
characteristics:
-1 start bit
-8 bit of data, least significant bit sent first
-Settable parity bit
-Settable stop bit
FUNCTIONS SUPPORTED IN MODBUS
Among the commands available in the MODBUS-RTU protocol, only the following are utilised for
management of communication with the instruments; other commands could be incorrectly interpreted
and generate errors or blocks of the system:

Specifications and dimensions are subject to change without notice and do not constitute any liability whatsoever.
Interrogation frequency is linked to the communication speed set (the instrument stands by for at least 3
bytes before starting calculations an eventual response to the interrogation query). The  parameter
present in the SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTING section in the instrument manual, allows the
instrument to respond with a further delay and this directly influences the number of interrogations
possible in the unit of time.
For additional information on this protocol refer to the general technical specifications PI_MBUS_300.

COMMUNICATION ERROR MANAGEMENT
The communication strings are controlled by way of the CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check).
In case of communication error the slave will not respond with any string. The master must consider a
time-out for reception of the answer. If it does not receive an answer it deduces that there has been a
communication error.
In the case of the string received correctly but not executable, the slave responds with an EXCEPTIONAL

ANALOG OUTPUT SETTING
Write the weight into registers “Weight value corresponding to the Full Scale of the analog output H”
(40045) and “Weight value corresponding to the Full Scale of the analog output L” (40046), otherwise
write the weight into registers “Weight value corresponding to ZERO of the analog output H” (40043) and
“Weight value corresponding to ZERO of the analog output L” (40044). Once the value has been written,
save it to EEPROM by sending command 99 from Command Register.
REAL CALIBRATION COMMANDS (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)
-Unload the system and reset to zero the displayed weight value with the command 100 “TARE WEIGHT
ZERO SETTING for calibration” of the Command Register.
-Load a sample weight on the system and send its value to the registers 40037-40038.
-To save the value send the command 101 “Sample weight storage for calibration” to the Command
Register.
If the operation is successfully completed, the two sample weight registers are set to zero.
In order to correctly set the sample weight, consider the value of the Division register (40014).
Example: to set the sample weight to 100 kg and the division is 0.001, then the value to enter is
100000 (100 / 0.001 = 100000).
