4.2 Command format

Commands are not case-sensitive, so either format can

be used.
Every command sequence must be completed with an
end character. Use either a line feed (LF, ASCII 10 =
0xAhex) or a semicolon (;) for this. If an end character is
all that is sent to the DIS, the DIS input buffer is cleared.
Each command consists of the command shortform, one
or more parameters and the end character. Parameters
in round brackets are mandatory, parameters in pointed
brackets (<>) are optional and can be omitted.

20 I2551-2.0 HBM: public DIS2116

 DIS command set

Important
The brackets themselves are not entered, they are only
used for marking.

All texts must be enclosed in quotes, preceding zeros are

suppressed in numeric input.
Responses are output as ASCII characters and end with
crlf (CR = Carriage Return, ASCII 13 and LF = Line
Feed, ASCII 10).

Example: MSV?;
You can output a measured value with this command.

All ASCII characters v20hex (20hex= blank) can be used

between the command shortform, parameters and end
characters. The following characters can be used for
commands and parameters:
Blank, +, -, . (point), , (comma), " (high double quotes), 0
… 9, A … Z, a … z.
For an input text (string, e.g. PST command), the input
range comprises 0x1Fhex (blank) to 0x7Ehex (~). Always
enclose text in high double quotes (").

Important
When you send a query, you must wait for the response
before sending the next command.
When you send an input command, you must wait at
least 10 milliseconds before sending the next query or
entry.

DIS2116 I2551-2.0 HBM: public 21

DIS command set

4.3 Responses to commands

Important
The response times indicated for the commands do not
include the times for transmission over the interface, i.e.
they do not include the transmission time of the com­
mand to the DIS, or the transmission time of a response
from the DIS.

4.3.1 Responses to entries

Important
It does not matter whether the input is valid or invalid,
there is no response to entries.

Tip
So after making an entry, you should use a query to
check the correct execution.

22 I2551-2.0 HBM: public DIS2116

 DIS command set

Example

Sent Significance
ASF3; Sets the filter to level 3.
After sending the command you must wait
for at least 10 milliseconds before sending
the next query.
ASF?; Queries the last input command.
Now wait for the response before sending
the next query or the next command.

Important
If the parameter is a legal-for-trade parameter and legal-
for-trade mode is switched on, this parameter is not
changed and the response to the command is ?crlf.
Also see section 5.7,
Commands for legal‐for‐trade applications, page 110.

4.3.2 Responses to parameter queries

For a parameter query, simply add a question mark to

the command. The responses are output as ASCII char­
acters and end with crlf (cr = carriage return, ASCII 13
and lf = line feed, ASCII 10). The output length of a re­
sponse is always the same for every command.

Example

Send query: ASF?;

DIS response: 03crlf

DIS2116 I2551-2.0 HBM: public 23

DIS command set

Important
When you send a query, you must wait for the response
before sending the next command.

4.3.3 Responses to incorrect or unknown

commands

The DIS responds with ?crlf when a command is incor­

rect or unknown.

4.4 Output types for measured values

The response to measured value queries (MSV?) is a

7‐digit measured value plus a sign and a decimal marker,
followed by a blank, 4 characters for the unit, and the end
character.

Command DIS response Number of

bytes
MSV? "00010.50ƕkgƕƕcrlf 14 + 2

4.5 Password protection parameters

DIS password protection includes important settings for

the characteristic curve of the scale and its identification.
Commands with password protection are only activated
once the password is entered. Unless the password is
entered by the SPW command, correspondingly protec­
ted input commands will not be executed. A query is al­
ways possible.

Stop bit: 1
Baud rate: 1200 (9600) … 115200 baud
The DIS interface is an asynchronous serial interface,
that is to say, data are transferred bit by bit, one after the
other and asynchronously. Asynchronous means that
transmission works without a clock signal.
A start bit is set before each data byte. Then come the
word bits (D0 … D7), and, depending on the setting, one
parity bit for the transmission check and a stop bit.

As the data are transferred serially, the speed of trans­

mission must match the speed of reception. The exact
baud rate of the receiver is synchronized with the start bit
for each character transferred. Next come the data bits,
which all have the same length. When the stop bit is
reached, the receiver goes into the wait state until it is
reactivated by the next start bit. The number of bits per
second is called the baud rate.

When you change the baud rate of the COM1 interface,
the baud rate in the connected load cells changes auto­
matically, the change is saved power failsafe in the load
cells and a bus scan is run at the new baud rate.

5.2 Scale characteristic curve and output

scaling

The DIS is only suitable for operation with digital load

cells, e.g. type C16i. With these load cells, a factory
characteristic curve is stored in the load cell for the DIS
to work with. With the factory characteristic curve, an
unloaded digital load cell delivers a measured value of 0
and one loaded with the maximum capacity delivers a
measured value of 1000000 (internal) digits. So this fact­
ory characteristic curve in the load cell should not be
changed.
Internal digits are converted into units of weight, e.g. kg, t
etc., via a user characteristic curve with the commands
LDW and LWT.

Function Command
Adjusting the scale characteristic curve LDW, LWT

5.2.2 Adjusting the scale characteristic curve with

maximum capacity

You can adapt the DIS characteristic curve (user charac­

teristic curve) to meet your requirements with the com­
mand pair LDW/LWT. You can also use the CWT com­
mand to set the characteristic curve with partial load.

Important
The entry of a user characteristic curve is only permitted
when not in legal-for-trade mode (LFT = 0).

Action Command sequence

Enter password, e.g. SPW"000";
Loading with scale zero load LDW(P1);
Loading with scale max. capacity LWT(P1);

Important
The characteristic curve commands LDW and LWT must
be entered or executed in the following order:
first LDW and
then LWT.
The input data are only offset when both parameters
have been entered or measured.

Once the scale has been adjusted, the range LDW →

LWT is assigned to the number range 0 to 1000000.

Important
Should the LDW/LWT adjustment not be carried out with
100% of the load, you must enter the CWT value (calib­
ration weight) first.

There are two ways to perform a zero balance:

1. Adopting the zero point of the user characteristic
curve with LDW (response time < 4.2s):
► Unload the scale.
► Adopt the zero point with the command LDW.
The transducer electronics measure the zero load of
the scale (input signal between ±3 mV/V) and store
the measured value, only offsetting it once the para­
meter for LWT is entered.
2. Manual entry of the zero point of the user character­
istic curve via LDW (response time < 20ms):
► Use the command LDW<zero point> to enter the
value for the zero point of the scale.
The value entered is stored, but only offset once the
parameter for LWT is entered.
Deactivate the user characteristic curve with LDW = 0
and LWT = 1000000.

The LWT value is not converted via NOV.

Important
Should the LDW/LWT adjustment not be carried out with
100% of the load, you must enter the CWT value (calib­
ration weight) first.

There are two ways to perform a nominal value adjust­

ment:
1. Adopting the nominal value of the user characteristic
curve with LWT (response time < 4.2s):
► Load the scale with maximum capacity.
► Adopt the measured value with the command LWT.
The transducer electronics measure the maximum
capacity of the scale (input signal between ±3 mV/V),
store the measured value and offset it against the
value for LDW to a new characteristic curve.
2. Manual input of the nominal value of the user charac­
teristic curve via LWT (response time < 1.5s):
► Use the command LWT<nominal value> to enter the
value for the nominal value of the scale, see example
below.
The entered value is stored and offset against the
value for LDW to a new characteristic curve.

Example: manual input of the nominal value

► Use the command SPW to enter your password.
► Use LFT0 to set the legal-for-trade switch to not legal
for trade.

► Unload the scale.
► Query the measured value (MSV?).
► Enter the value as the LDW value.
► Load the scale with maximum capacity.
► Query the measured value (MSV?).
► Use the command LWT<maximum capacity> to
enter the measured value for the maximum capacity.
The entered value is stored and offset against the
LDW value.
► Protect the new characteristic curve with TDD1.

The LWT value is offset in accordance with the entered

CWT value (partial load value as a percentage of the
maximum capacity).

Calibration weight

Important
In legal-for-trade mode, you have to carry out the partial
load calibration with a load of at least 20% of the nominal
value.

With P1 = 1000000 (= 100 %), you deactivate partial load

calibration.

Example
The scale characteristic curve LDW/LWT of a scale
should go as far as 15 kg = 15000d. But there is only a
10kg balancing weight available for the adjustment.
Proceed as follows:
► Set the CWT value to 666667 for the adjustment (cor­
responds to 66%).
► Set the NOV value to 15000 for the adjustment.
► Perform an LDW/LWT adjustment.
After the adjustment, 10000 digits at 10kg and
15000digits at 15kg are output as the measured val­
ues.
► Set the digit/increment to RSN5 and the decimal point
to DPT3.

60 I2551-2.0 HBM: public DIS2116

 Individual command descriptions

With a maximum capacity of 15kg, this gives 3000d

(= nLC) as the number of divisions and 15.000 as the
display value.

Important
After an adjustment, the LDW and LWT values can be
read out. They correspond to the parameters that would
be produced in an adjustment with the maximum capa­
city (and not with the partial load). If you need to enter
the values for LDW and LWT again later on, you must
first enter CWT = 1000000 and then the LDW value that
has been read out, and finally, the value read out for
LWT.

Use ENU"kg"; to set the unit to kg.

NOV
You can use the NOV value to scale the output
measured values. The output of ASCII measured values

5.3 Linearization settings

With the DIS, you have the opportunity to reduce the lin­
earity deviation of the scale. The DIS works with a 3rd
order polynomial. Two additional points between dead
load (LDW) and maximum capacity (LWT) must be used
for this correction.
Only use the commands after adjusting the scale with
LDW, LWT, NOV:
S Measured value of the correction: LIM
S Weight value for the correction: LIN
Overall, four value pairs are required to calculate the
coefficients for a 3rd order polynomial:

Weight Measured value Note

0 0 Dead load removed
LIN1 LIM1 First point
LIN2 LIM2 Second point
NOV NOV Maximum capacity

The two additional points must fall in the range between

0 and NOV. The following two conditions must also be
met:

Example

Characteristic curve of the unloaded scale = 0, that of

the scale loaded with maximum capacity = 10,000kg
(10000).
The linearity deviation should be compensated at 2.5kg
and 7kg.
Enter the command LIN1,2500 (2.5kg) and use com­
mand LIM1; to acquire the measured value for the 2.5kg
load.
Then enter the command LIN2,7000 (7kg) and use the
command LIM 2; to acquire the measured value for the
7kg load.

Setting the linearization

► Use the command SPW to enter your password.
► Set the legal-for-trade switch (LFT) to 0.
► Adjust the scale (LDW, LWT, NOV, …).
► Reset any other linearization values that may be
present: LIN1=LIN2=LIM1=LIM2=0.
► Load the scale with the first weight (point 1).
► Enter the LIN1 value (weight without decimal point).
Two options are available for the LIM1 value:
a) Query the measured value (MSV?) and enter it as
the LIM1 value (weight without decimal point,
LIM1,<MSV value>;).
b) Measure the LIM1 value directly (LIM1;).
► Load the scale with the second weight (point 2)
► Enter the LIN2 value (weight without decimal point).

1 The bandwidths and properties of the filter depend on the connected
transducers and are described in the relevant manuals.

The cut-off frequency of the filter determines the settling

time. The higher the filter index, the better the filter ef­
fect, but also the longer the settling time when the weight
changes. Choose as low a filter setting as possible, so
that a steady measured value (standstill) can be
achieved at a constant weight.
The mean-value calculation influences the overall settling
time of the DIS. The settling time also depends on the
mechanical construction of the transducer, the dead load
of the scale and the weight to be weighed.

5.7 Commands for legal‐for‐trade

applications

In legal-for-trade mode, the commands are used to mon­

itor changes to legal-for-trade parameters via the calibra­
tion counter.

Function Command
Legal-for-trade switch (selecting legal-for- LFT
trade mode)
Calibration counter TCR

The parameters inhibited in legal-for-trade mode are:

GCA, GDE, CWT, LDW, LWT, NOV, RSN, MRA, MRB,
MTD, ENU, DPT, LIN, LIM, ZSE, ZTR, LFT, TCR.
When the legal-for-trade switch is activated with a value
greater than zero, you can no longer make changes to
legal-for-trade parameters. First you have to enter the
password (DPW, SPW) and deactivate the legal-for-trade
counter with LFT0.

Important
Every LFT change increases the calibration counter
(TCR), which cannot be reset, by 1.

Tip
After calibration, set LFT to a value greater than zero.
Then read out the calibration counter and note the value
on the type plate of the scale.

110 I2551-2.0 HBM: public DIS2116

 Individual command descriptions

Legal for trade

LFT
Legal-for-trade switch: selects legal-for-trade mode.
Every LFT status change increases the calibration
counter (TCR) by 1.
In legal-for-trade mode (LFT u 0), parameter entry is
inhibited for the following commands:
GCA, GDE, CWT, LDW, LWT, NOV, RSN, MRA, MRB,
MTD, ENU, DPT, LIN, LIM, ZSE, ZTR.
This means that every change to these parameters for
legal-for-trade applications can be detected by the calib­
ration counter TCR, which cannot be reset.

Print identification counter

PID
Delivers the current print ID or the results for a particular
print ID in binary or ASCII format, according to choice.
The print ID is the identifier of a measurement in the alibi
memory (SD card). With each printout (PRT), the current
measurement in the alibi memory is archived and the
print identification counter is incremented by one. The
counter stops when the SD card (alibi memory) is full.
The maximum counter reading is 9999999. An error
message is output at this counter reading and the
counter stops. This situation can only be remedied by
HBM Service.
