7. POWER CONNECTIONS

There are 3 methods for OS2X to get power supply.

Method 1: Use the attached communication line to connect Aclas ECR as below picture.

Customer can self-define the length of communication line, if the line is too long,

customer can cut one end of crystal head short and follow the connection mode below to

make a new one.

Method 2：If the external device or PC is attached with D9 interface, customer can use a

D9-4P communication cable with USB interface from Aclas to get power supply.

Connect the OS2X with the external device as below picture. If supply power is

available from the D9 interface of external device, there is no need to connect with other

power supply.

Method 3： If you purchased USB line, you can follow below picture to connect OS2X

and other terminal with USB port.

Note: To set the communication between the OS2X and the external device that has USB

interface, users should install USB virtual serial port driver first. Please refer to related

chapter for details.

8. POWER ON/OFF

Power on: press the key to power on after soft turning off.

Power off: press the key to power off.

9. KEY EXPLANATION

: This key is to adjust the „WEIGHT‟ column to zero value.

Place the scale level steadily, if there are digits displayed on LCD when there is nothing on the

platter, you can press this key to adjust to zero.

Press this key and hold it for 1.5 seconds to turn on or turn off the backlight.

: This key is used to deduct the packing weight.

If you need to deduct the packing weight, put the container or wrapper on the scale first, and

then press this key to enter weight- deducting state. Then, take off the container and put the

commodity into the container and then place the packed goods on the pan again, now, the LCD will

display the net weight. Remove the merchandise and press this key, the scale will return to normal

weighting state.

Press this key and hold it for 1.5 seconds to enter into the unit switch function. Press the key

“ ”to shift the unit and press the key “ ” to confirm or exit the setting status.

: Press this key and hold it for 1.5 seconds to soft turn off the scale.

There is “stable” mark on the display

screen. When the weight is stable, the

triangle indicator will light which means it

is in the normal weighing status, at this

time you can put commodity on the platter

to sell.

STX ID CMD PARA PGNO LEN SUM

0xAB 0x00000000 0x8000 0xXX00 0 0x00 X

Default the baud rate is 9600bps when power on. When the command is received successfully, change

baud rate by parameter PARA1.

XX = 0x01 : 115200 bps

XX = 0x02 : 57600 bps

XX = 0x03 : 38400 bps

XX = 0x06 : 19200 bps

XX = 0x0C : 9600 bps

STX ID CMD PARA PGNO LEN SUM

0xAB 0x00000000 0x8001 0xXX00 0 0x00 X

Default frequency is sending 10 times measuring result in each second actively. When the

command is received successfully, change the frequency according to parameter PARA1.

XX = 0x0A : 10Hz

XX = 0x09 : 9Hz

XX = 0x08 : 8Hz

………

XX = 0x01 : 1Hz

XX = 0x00 : send measuring result passively, at this time you can achieve the measuring

result via the command “read measuring result”.

6．Read measurement results:

STX ID CMD PARA PGNO LEN SUM

0xAB 0x00000000 0x8002 0x0000 0 0x00 X

When initiative sending frequency is set as 0, achieve the measurement results: via this

command.

Please refer to note 1 about the returned data analysis.

7．Zero command：（successful response 0x800E，failure response 0x800D）

STX ID CMD PARA PGNO LEN SUM

0xAB 0x00000000 0x8003 0x0000 0 0x00 X

STX ID CMD PARA PGNO LEN SUM

0xAB 0x00000000 0x8004 0x0000 0 0x00 X

Sensor starts tare device after sending this command.

9．Start or stop preset tare device：（successful response 0x800E，failure response 0x800D）

STX ID CMD PARA PGNO LEN SUM

0xAB 0x00000000 0x8005 Tare 0 0x00 X

Sensor starts or stop preset tare device after sending this command.

The range of tare is 0~ the maximum tare value allowed.

When tare is 0, it will stop preset tare device. When tare is not 0, it will start preset tare

device.

10． Change measuring unit：（successful response 0x800E，failure response 0x800D）

STX ID CMD PARA PGNO LEN SUM

0xAB 0x00000000 0x8006 0xXX00 0 0x00 X

The default unit is kg when power on, when command is received successfully, change

the unit according to the parameter PARA1.

XX = 0：standard unit（kg）

19

XX = 1： standard unit（g）

XX＝6：British unit（pound）

XX＝7：British unit（ounce）

Note 1：

The sensor returned the measured results of data format:

1．Data

STX ID CMD PARA PGNO LEN SUM

0xAB 0x00000000 0x8002

0x8300 0xXXXX 0 0x00 X

When adopting 0x8002 command achieve measurement results，answering CMD is

0x8002.

When sensor is set for the certain frequency and sent measurement results automatically,

CMD is 0x8300.

2．Data in data area

Flag Mode Unit Decimal Digit Net Value Tare Value Gross Value

0 1 2 3 4,5,6,7 8,9,10,11 12,13,14,15

Flag: Bit0: 0 means weight is unstable 1 means weight is stable

Bit1: 0 means weight is in its range. 1 means weight is beyond the range.

Bit2: 0 means have startup to zero. 1 mean haven‟t startup to zero.

Bit3: 0means the current weight is more than the minimum weighing range

1 means the current weight is less than the minimum weighing range

Bit4: 1 the current OP box is soft unlock 0 the current OP box is not soft unlock

Bit5: 1 the current OP box hardware is unlock 0 the current OP box hardware is not

unlock

Bit6: 1 the lowest order of the result is always zero. 0 the lowest order of the result maybe

not zero.

Bit7: retain

Mode: 0：It stands for net weight weighing mode, at this time, tare and gross weight

column not transmission.

1：It stands for tare weighing mode.

2：It stands for Pre-set tare weighing mode.

Unit：

0： "Gram",

1： "kg",

2： "Tonne",

13： "Ounce",

14： "Pound",

15： "Kilo pound (kip)",

Decimal digits

Each weight value occupies 4 bytes, high-order in the front, and low in the rear. The highest Bit is the

sign bit. For example:

Flag Mode Unit Decimal Digit Net Value

0x01 0x00 0x01 0x03 0x80,0x00,0x04,0xD2

20

When receive the above data, it means: weight is stable, net weight weighing model, unit

kg, 3 decimal places, symbol is negative, -1.234 kg.

Flag Mode Unit Decimal Digit Net Value

0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00,0x00,0x04,0xD2

When receive the above data, it means: weight is unstable, net weight weighing model, unit

g, 0 decimal places, symbol is positive, 1234 g.
