Alerting is not available for unauthorized users, OPC UA Companion Specification for Weighing, Use a RS232 to USB adapter and connect it to a PC/MAC/Raspberry PI. If your scale has a USB connection but does not come with a driver or if you fail to install the driver, then it will not be possible to read in data from the scale using off-the-shelf software tools (like the BC-Wedge software wedge) and you will need to contact the scale's manufacturer to find out what software tools they have that you can use. Integrating Mettler Toledo Weigh Scales to SAP Digital Manufacturing When the scales are Tared this tag will display the Tare Weight. Download and install the Mettler Toledo SerialPortToKeyboard (as of March 2017 can be found.

BC-Wedge works by tricking your PC into behaving as if the data coming in the COM port is coming in from a keyboard.

Get scale weight over serial from Mettler Toledo Rice Lake scale (optional). 0000071871 00000 n 2 I am using Mike O Brien's HID Library to connect to digital scale, Device opens successfully then displays device attached & removed messages perfectly. 0000100697 00000 n 0000005584 00000 n on Step 2. 0000007137 00000 n Mettler Toledo XPE204 (though all newer Mettler Toledo Balances should work). Of the 3 options I have presented, my personally preference based on scalability, reliability, security and supportability would have been the official Mettler Toledo hardwarebut since it follows the OPC Weighing Companion Specification which exposes the weight values as attributes to a tag it is not supported by DMC. I.e., before running the Admin program, right-click on the Admin Program and select the Properties option. So the first challenge is how do I get the data from the scales into the corporate network so that it can be passed to DMC, so far I can see 3 hardware options. Would it be possible to do this using multiple scales with one PC? Thanks for reading this blog, the next one will be released soon. All RS232 to USB converter cables require a driver to be installed in Windows in order for the cable to work. The tag is automatically reset to 0 (false) by the software. 0000008786 00000 n Please note that some BT devices require authentication via a PIN code before communicating the services available from them. Connecting a Mettler Toledo analytical balance/scale to a PC through RS232 Disclaimer: I've already read this 3-year-old post I'm trying to use a Mettler Toledo AB204-SRS connected to an old WinXP PC (although I could always install Debian on it and work more confortably) through the serial port. 0000001172 00000 n 0000001067 00000 n depends on the manufacturer and the device, for Mettler-Toledo devices it is called"SPP data". m/mS!mkSho4v=Li9//*q,A!2DsLDA (e>m. 0000008286 00000 n Once you are able to see data appear correctly in BC-Wedge, leave it running in the background and launch Microsoft Excel and put the cursor in a cell where you want your weight values to go and press the Print button on the scale. stream If you have multiple accounts, use the Consolidation Tool to merge your content. Thefollowing screen shots show the settings for theInternet Protocol TCP / IP. I already set the parity to even, data bits to 7 and changing baud rate but still the data it send to pc is different from the weight displayed in scale. SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud now supports process industry scenarios as well as discrete industry scenarios, in the 2111 release it is planned (Subject To Change) to release a weigh and dispense capability, so what does that mean when it comes to machine integration? 0000008225 00000 n If you want to follow along with this blog then install NodeJS, Visual Studio Code and UAExpert onto your local machine. 0000116901 00000 n Cost I really struggled to come up with a negative about this approach based on the documentation but out of the 3 options it will be the most expensive. 0000059024 00000 n This tag shows the unit of measure for the Tare Weight. If your scale does not have a Print button, it does not necessarily mean that you cannot send weight data to a PC. ReadWeightImmediate Read Write Boolean, ReadWeightImmidiateRepeat Read Write Boolean, SerialPortConnected Read Only Boolean. Start->All Programs->Mettler Toledo->MTOPOS-EUS Driver->MTOPOSAdmin Do not "Run as Administrator" the Admin program. Receive a globally accepted qualification service at installation for industrial weighing systems. This mode is normally meant for updating a display that is connected directly to the balance.Another option is to configure the balance so that it outputs a weight when you send a command to the balance through the RS232 port.A typical command is just an upper case P followed by a carriage return character (ASCII 13) although different manufacturers use different command sets. endobj The steps below will show you how to connect your scale to a PC and identify what port the scale is connected to and also how to input weight readings directly into Microsoft Excel. Note: If your scale connects directly to a USB port or if you are using a RS232 to USB converter, make sure that the scale or the converter is connected to the PC and that it's device driver is installed before looking in the Device Manager. Most scales can also be configured to output data at stability so you could data go into the workbook automatically when the scale stabilizes.Basically, you can make it work whatever way you want. 0000164391 00000 n 0000008831 00000 n 0000014855 00000 n Pls help, Question x[[s~_Jx2#[NN]6N'%R&$ -vVb]^Uy`? Turn to factory-trained experts for professional installation of industrial bench scales and portable scalesto ensure proper operation from day one. One of the more common integration questions I receive is how to integrate weigh scales into the SAP environment and since the most common brand I typically see is Mettler Toledo I thought it would be good to look at a few integration options before the floodgates get opened. Finally type node mtserver replacing PORT and BAUD with your values. My personal set of requirements for this software are as follows: Because of these requirements I selected an open source javascript library called Node-OPCUA that is executed using NodeJS and used Visual Studio Code as my development environment. Writing a 1 (or true) to this tag will send a command to the scales to read the Immediate weight regardless if it is stable or not. PDF Installation and Operating Instructions METTLER TOLEDO RS232 Option This should add the new server to the list of available servers, expand the node and select None as the security settings by double clicking it. This value is the raw character string returned by the scales. Note: This tutorial assumes that your scale or balance has a "Print" button that will transmit weight values to a PC. %PDF-1.4 % Would I need Winwedge if I had multiple scales or could I still use BC Wedge? Modem cables have the wires in the cable running straight through and Null Modem cables have the transmit and receive lines crossed in the cable. trailer << /Size 377 /Info 258 0 R /Encrypt 261 0 R /Root 260 0 R /Prev 491817 /ID[<067304a661481a37c2ebbc4d92b24607>] >> startxref 0 %%EOF 260 0 obj << /PageMode /UseOutlines /ViewerPreferences << /CenterWindow true >> /Names 263 0 R /Outlines 265 0 R /Metadata 257 0 R /Pages 249 0 R /PageLayout /SinglePage /OpenAction 262 0 R /Type /Catalog >> endobj 261 0 obj << /Filter /Standard /R 2 /O (A[Q]w]xa;Z&K.
