Communication series with Mettler Toledo 205 XS

Hey guys,.

I'm in the process of establishing a communication series between my PC and a microphone Mettler Toledo (XS-205) balance. The Balance is connected via an RS 232 cable to the adapter USB TU-S9, then to the PC. I do not see the port in the MAX of NOR and via the test Panel, I put the configuration of the communication according to those of my balance:

BD rate: 9600

Bit\Parity: 8 / no

Stop bits: 1

Handshake: no

EndofLine: LF

CharSet: Ansi\Win (only within the balance)

Continuous mode: OFF ("");

now, the fact is that if I try to query the command * IDN? \n I get as a response

1: write operation (* IDN? \n)

Back County: 6 bytes

2: read operation
Back County: 17 bytes
S\sS\s\s\s-0.0006\s\sg\n

with an error in the data returned (Hex 0xBFFF006C). I also tried to use the script provided by the site OR Mettler-Toledo scales, but I get all the data and at the end of the routine, I get error VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) timeout expired before the operation is complete.

Everyone as an indication of what's going on? Thank you much for the help

See you soon!

Thank you guys for the quick responses.

my mistake. Mettler Toledo balances does not accept the SCPI standard commands, but they have their own defined standardized command.

Thanks anyway

  • Interfacing with Mettler Toledo IND560

    Hey everybody,

    I'm trying to get a scale (Mettler Toledo IND560) to work with a VI I have already created. It is connected by a serial connection 9 pins which is managed via a conversion Series / USB.

    It gives me a little trouble, and all I found through research is a pilot to balance work with a server of the OLC. I personally don't have access to one, and I was wondering if there is a simple step that I'm just missing.

    Thanks in advance!

    I think that you may need to be more specific.  Exactly how long do you have?  And exactly where are you stuck?

    The first thing you will need is the manual for the device.  Reading in place on their suggestions to communicate with the device.  They must specify the parameters of connection (for example, baud rate, etc).  And they could describe a specific high level protocol, you need to follow to get the data.

    And then to start with LabVIEW and serial communication, you will need to make sure that you have installed NI-VISA.  Then use built-in LabVIEW example Finder.  Take a look at this VI to go:

    Material input and output > series > basic writing and reading series

  • LabVIEW with Mettler Toledo Balance through. Help!

    I design a VI that will take a measure of weight and this chart. I thought of her so that I have a stop button and a chart. What I need now is a zero and Tare button. It would be nice to get the correct format on how to use this range of Mettler Toledo device so any info would be great.

    Later on the road, I would like to add a timestamp to every second and a test for each identification number.

    I've tried everything! Help, please. I'm new to LabView and would hear all the advice I can get.

    Thank you

  • communication series with VISA

    I'm trying to communcate with a power supply via a serial connection.  Communication works very well in Hyperterminal and putty, but I can't seem to run in labview.  It times out when trying to read the data.

    Hyperterminal parameters are the basis of everything and it works fine

    9600 baud

    8 data bits

    no parity

    1 stop bit

    no flow control

    Send "VOLT?" with CTRL + J for line break

    Returns under the voltage at the output of the UUT.

    I wonder if I send you the incorrect order in labview.  Any help would be great.  I have attached the VI, it's my first try at comms series so it's pretty baisc and I do not know I'm missing something

    You are not sending the line break.  You send only "Volt"?

    Make a right click on the string constant, visible display style and make \codes show.  Then enter \n at the end.  Now you send VOLT? with the line break.

    In addition, remove the shift regsiters on the son of reference and error.  (A single time-out error will keep your VI to run again until you stop and restart the VI)

    And put a close VISA outside the loop.

  • Communication series with ANSI emulation

    I have a mass flow of gripper controller that uses a connection set to read/write.  I have the connection works in hyperterminal, but we are updating our computers and do not use more serial ports.  I have a cable USb232 and now trying to establish the connection through labview.  There are several required specific hyperterminal settings to get the device to communicate that I can't find in the settings of labview.  The device requires:

    1. 19200 bauds, 8 bits, no parity, no flow control (not a problem, can adjust these settings)

    2 terminal emulation must be set to ANSI

    3. under the ASCII Configuration

    Send line with line breaks ends is NOT enabled

    The echo typed local characters is turned on

    Add RSS to finish lines is running

    When I connect through the serial.vi base, I get a time-out error and do not have all the data of the device.  In hyperterminal, the news on the device are questioned by sending 'A' to the device.  Any help for this communication device would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Problem solved, I just to activate the writing of the end and read with characters of endpoint and the hexadecimal value on D.

  • Communication series with visa, need help

    IM G-codes(which is a string in this case) sending to my Board of Directors, Im using the structure of the event choose sent a code that, when sending as string constants program runs without problems, but when Im getting the format string to string program dosnt sent the code in this case, but its present when events change (so in other cases it works too previous)

    problem can be seen in the performance of climax too

    I will ask once again: do you need to send a character of endpoint with your order?

    Your 4 character button events 'home' have all orders ending in the line.  Other events are not.  My guess is that the unit does not recoginize newline character he received a valid full command until he got the line.

    PS: Those who touch terminals that belong in their boxes of the discipline concerned.

  • Communication series with Miteq switching system

    Hello

    I am trying to contact a Miteq redundant switching system 1:8 for high power amplifier.

    My VI gives me an error of framing. I have already read the thread on the mistake of framing posted here and made sure my port is configured to match the settings of the device.

    (Data bits - 7; Parity - same, baud rate (9600) equipment is silent about data flow and the stop bits, (I guess NONE and 1.0 respectively)

    I use a laptop with a USB port. I have a USB-serial cable of NOR. I use an IC -? 855 RS232-RS485 converter because the system is RS485. I already checked the pinout for the port that I use a fact a connector corresponding Tx + in the converter with Rx +; TX - Rx-; and the other two wires are connected as well.

    I opened MAX and tried to write directly to the VISA driver, but I get an error as well.

    I do not know if the manual is just, he is a former switch and someone could have changed the port connections.

    Y at - it a trick to know what is the link?

    I'd appreciate any thoughts here

    Thank you very much

    Hi Jeff,

    I can't open the link you sent, but we finally thought that the problem is the connection of broaching. Me not according to the manual or any document we have.

  • Writing of multiple orders with communication series

    Hello

    I'm quite familiar with the basics of LabVIEW, but I'm new to communication series with VISA. I had no chance of finding a solution to my problem, but it is similar: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/VISA-read-write-to-serial-port-Unable-to-impelement-multiple/td-p/93....

    I am able to send a command and read the response with the device, but I can't send several commands to change the settings of the device. For example, I send 'F' to the device to read the current operating frequency and read the response (22). But if I send 'f' to the device to change the operating frequency, read the answer ('send frequency... (''), then send my desired frequency (120), I get no response.

    The default frequency at the opening of the port of the unit is 22. I would like to change the frequency to 120, then read the current operating frequency to ensure that it was indeed changed.

    I'm confused about the format of data to be sent in LabVIEW. In MatLab, it works fine if I send 'f' as a character (fwrite), followed by the desired integer frequency. However, in LabVIEW, it seems that the number I want to send is not read correctly. I have tried to cast the integer to a string and read that the slash code, hexadecimal, normal code, all I could think about.

    Help, please

    This give a try. Press the button "Prepare", followed by the 'Set Freq' button. You need to configure your serial port properly first well.

  • Communication series

    Hello

    I'm using communications series VISA in my vi to communicate with the hardware. My laptop has two COM COM1 and COM2 ports. I'll be using VISA configure a serial port to set specific Com Port.

    COM port will be indicated by using the name of resource VISA. I should know the status of com before another operation takes place. IE say I chose com2 on behalf of the resource for the COM port configuration, but I connected the hardware serial cable on COM1. How can I know the difference? I tried the line of the error checking, but unfortunately his does give no error since the COM1 is present in the laptop.

    Thanking you,

    sushmith

    Hello

    The idea would be to write * IDN? (or you can select the order based on the expected answer your device connected to COM port) command individually, to the COM port

    This should return the identification of the unit (or a known response) of the device connected to the COM port when trying to read the data for the number of available bytes to the port.

    If the returned string is empty (or not the expected answer) then that would mean that no device is connected to the COM port.

  • Communication problem with the printer

    I'm trying to print on a printer Lexmark 1200 series of a Toshiba laptop. Laptop computer identifies the printer is the printer is displayed in the control panel. Whenever I try to print even if I get a message that says: "communication problem with the printer. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Nick,

    1. What is the exact model of the printer number?

    2 is this problem limited to any specific application such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word etc.?

    It seems that some of the 1200 Series printers is not compatible with Windows 7. You can enter the number of exact model and research for more information.

  • Management communication series through liaison camera card

    I have a card OR cameralink and want to handle the integration of a camera time using the controls of the camera series.  Is it possible to place orders of series using other software like MatLab (heresy I know)...

    My experience using MATLAB is absent, but if you can call the C API for IMAQ, then you should be able to do.  You can take a look at the help of the reference of the NOR-IMAQ function and specifically examine the functions of Communication series under features low level.

    You need NI-VISA. If you are using a National Instruments serial port card or device, then you also need OR Serial. All software can be found in the Technical Support page.

    Obviously, you have also the runtime for the software development environment itself as well. For example, for LabVIEW, you need to the LabVIEW Run-Time.

    Do you have to doublecheck your serial line?

    It's a straight or crossover cable?

    the handshake is correct?

    This is probably the way to check and balance in the right mode to be read by a pc?
