Data Field Descriptions 
The following data fields are used. 
som 
BW100 start of message, ASCII character = STX (Hex Value = 02). 
DEVICE 
Identifies the BW100 to which the message applies. The device is a 2 character number 
that equals the Unit I.D. code, (P761). ASCII characters = 00 to 15. 
MT 
Identifies the 2 character message type transmitted, ASCII characters: 
50 = material flow rate 
51 = material load 
52 = belt speed 
53 = totalizer 1, internal 
54 = totalizer 2, internal 
READING 
Contains the measurement value in the engineering units of measure selected during 
BW100 programming. The number of bytes in this data field varies dependent upon the 
reading value. Up to 8 ASCII characters including the decimal point may be transmitted. 
UNITS 
Three ASCII characters identify the totalizer engineering units (MT=53 and MT=54). The 
first character is always a space. The remaining characters may be: 
t = tonnes 
T = tonnes 
LT = long tonnes 
kg = Kilograms 
lb = pounds
