Configuring the Data Interface as a COM Port
(datprot)
You can configure the interface as a COM port in either COM1 or UniCOM,
“Data Protocol" (datprot) menu item.
SBI communication This is a simple ASCII interface.
Data output is configured under menu items 6.1 and 6.3:
– Manual output of displayed value with or without stability (menu items 6.1.1
and 6.1.2).
– Automatic output of displayed value with or without stability (menu items
6.1.4 and 6.1.5) at intervals defined by display updates. The number of display
intervals is set in menu item 6.3.
– Output of a configurable printout (menu item 6.1.7). Output is linked to the
“Printouts” menu item (datprot), (see page 96 “Configuring Printouts").
If you do not activate and configure a user-definable data record, the printout
simply contains the current value displayed on the display and control unit
(weight with unit, calculated value, alphanumeric display).
