15.2.4 Multi-Connection Mode
A maximum of 26 UW/UX series balances can be connected to one personal computer at the
same time. This is called “Multi-Connection mode.” To use the balance in this mode, prepare
RS-232C cables in the number of balances connected, and the optional IFB-102A RS-232C
Interface.
Connecting Method
Example for connecting 10 units of UW/UX series balances to one personal computer is
shown in the diagram below.
Assignment of Identification Name
In this example (10 balances connected to one computer), assign the identification name in
lower-case alphabets.
Since 10th character of alphabet is “j,” assign “j” to the balance closest to the personal
computer, “i” to next closest balance, and so on, back to “a.”
Setting to Multi-Connection Mode
1. Adjust the communication menu settings of all
the balances to the specification of the personal
computer, and then, turn off the power to all
balances.
2. Start supplying the power to the whole system.
Wait until all balances display OFF.
3. Send “[α] <delimiter>” from the personal
computer. α is the name of the balance next to
the personal computer. In the example above,
lower-case “j.” This command is valid only one
time after turning the power ON.
Respective balances automatically enter the
Multi-Connection mode and the mass is
displayed.
On this process, the name smaller than the sent
command by one, i.e. “[i] <delimiter>”, is returned.
