Example of connection
RS-422 RS-485
The polarity (A, B) of the host computer signal depends on the computer model.
Check the technical manual of the computer.
Data format
The data format for the RS-422/485 is the same as the RS-232C except the following:
When used with the function setting “5if 1” (RS-422) or “5if 2” (RS-485), set a
different address to each scale using the function setting “adr##”. ((##=01 to 99)
Start all commands with “@##” (## is the address of the scale to send a command).
All replies from the scale start with “@##”.
The format after “@##” is the same as the RS-232C, both in commands and replies.
When used with the RS-485 interface (function setting: “5if 2”), note the following:
• When sending commands continuously, leave an interval of 500 ms or more
between commands.
• Do not use stream mode (function setting: “prt 0”) when sending commands.
Commands will not be received correctly and will be invalid.
