20 XLR-6, XLR-8 and XLR-12 Installation Instructions
4 Communicating With the Remote Display
The XLR display automatically selects which type of communications protocol is being
used. When connecting to Avery Weigh-Tronix or Digi-Star equipment, the display will
automatically translate the display information correctly. No configuring of the display
is required. There are no adjustable settings for this display.
When transmitting weights to the display the annunciator character located on the left
hand side of the display will clearly display a G for gross weight or N for net weight. For
Digi-Star equipment the annunciator character will also flash L when loading
ingredients.
When the display is displaying alpha numeric text messages, the annunciator character
is not displayed.
The bar graph located across the bottom indicates how close you are to target when
loading product. This is displayed as % of target weight.
4.1 Computer Control Protocol
If the display information is sent from alternate equipment using RS-232, then the
equipment’s baud rate must be set to 9600 no parity and 1 stop bit (9600 N81).The
display will attempt to analyze and display the weight information automatically.
Custom applications may communicate to the display using a simple command
protocol that allows applications to make full use of all of the displays features.
All commands sent to the display must terminate with a CR character ASCII 13.
NOTE: When connecting to non-Avery Weigh-Tronix equipment, 12V must be applied
to the remote power pin 7 on the connector.
