FT-111, User Manual Rev. 2.0.0, June 2022 Page 39 of 137
7 RS232 AND RS485 DATA OUTPUTS
FT-111 Weighing Terminal has 2 x RS 232, RS 485, USB, and Ethernet standard interfaces. In this section, you
will find the data structure of different type of the data outputs via these serial ports. If you transmit ASCII
codes of P(print), Z(zero), T(tare) or C(clear) letters to the serial port of FT-111; it will act like the related key is
pressed.
7.1 CONTINUOUS DATA OUTPUT
Continuous data output of the instrument is transmitted in the following data structure. The serial ports of
FT-111 are suitable for bi-directional communication.
CR (Carriage return) and LF (Line feed) codes can be enabled or disabled from response.
CHK (Checksum) can be enabled or disabled from both command and response and only continuous data
output can be programmed for more than one interface.
The data format of continuous data output is:
