 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF WEIGHING INSTRUMENTS

The cell cable must be individually led to its panel input (from one side or the other of the panel) and
not share a conduit with other cables; connect it directly to the instrument terminal block without
breaking its route with support terminal blocks.

Use “RC” filters on the instrument-driven solenoid valve and remote control switch coils.

Avoid installing the instrument in a panel containing inverters; if inevitable, use special filters for the
inverters and separate them with sheet metal partitions.

The panel installer must provide electric protections for the instruments (fuses, door lock switch, etc.).

It is advisable to leave the equipment always switched on to prevent the formation of condensation.

 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

- The cell cable must not be routed with other cables (e.g. outputs connected to remote control
switches or power supply cables), but must follow its own path.
- Any cable extension connections must be carefully shielded, observing the color code and using
the cable of the type supplied by the manufacturer. Extension connections must be made by
welding, either through back-up terminal blocks or via the junction box supplied separately.
- The cell cable must have no more conductors than those used. In the case of an unused multi-
conductor cable, connect the remaining wires to the negative pole of the cell power supply (N. 1).
- The cell cable shield must be connected to terminal 1 (- cell power supply) or to ground.
- For connections with 4-wire cells, jumper terminal 1 with 4 and 2 with 3.
The cell power supply voltage is 4 VDC and is protected against temporary short-circuiting.
The load cell cable must be connected to terminals 1...6 of the relevant terminal block.

 INSTRUMENT COMMISSIONING

Switch on the microprocessor and wait five minutes for all the components to have a stable
temperature. Check that the instrument indication is positive and that it increases when a weight force
is applied on the container. If the indication is negative or the instrument displays an error message,
check the connection of the load cells and their correct positioning (direction of load).

 INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION VERIFICATION

If you need to check the instrument calibration, for example, when you first use it, proceed as directed.
Make sure the system is unloaded and the instrument indicates zero. Apply a significant quantity of product
to the system (at least 50% of the maximum quantity to be weighed) and check that it is correctly indicated.

- If the difference is not significant but is in the order of 1–2 %, correct it (see section KEYPAD
CORRECTION OF THE INDICATED WEIGHT).
- If there is a significant difference (greater than 1–2%) make sure that this is not due to mechanical
issues and check the electrical connections and direction of load of the load cells again. Check
that the currently set theoretical calibration meets the application characteristics by referring to the
section THEORETICAL CALIBRATION.
- If necessary, make a real calibration by sample weight, referring to the section REAL
CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS).

KEYPAD CORRECTION OF THE INDICATED WEIGHT

If the instrument indicates a different value to the weight of the product that is applied to the system,
it is possible to correct the weight by means of a simple calibration with a sample weight:

Referring to the section REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS), adjust the parameter
WEIGHT CALIBRAT.  WEIGHT CALIBR., by applying a sample weight of at least 50% of the
maximum quantity to be weighed.

- 13 -
 PROGRAMMING OF SYSTEM PARAMETERS

INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION

WARNING: The calibration procedures described in this section may require accessing the “WEIGHT
CALIBRAT”menu, which can be password protected: CALIBR. PASSWORD [1001]. (see section
FUNCTIONAL PARAMETERS).

THEORETICAL CALIBRATION

In the submenu “WEIGHING CONST.” you can find the items for theoretical calibration without the
need for a sample weight, of course we always recommend checking the calibration performed with
a known quantity of product.

WEIGHING CONST.  L.CELLS CAPACITY [1102] (kg, integer values only), load cell full scale.
Example: If there are 3 load cells with a nominal capacity of 300 kg set 900 for this parameter.

WEIGHING CONST.  L.C.SENS. [mV/V] [1103] (mV/V), load cell rated output (default 2.0000 mV/V).
Example: Set the average load cell rated output to 4 decimal places (for load cells with 2 mV/V rated
output set 2.0000; whereas, for 3 load cells with different rated output, for example 1.9800 mV,
1.9600 mV, 1.9900 mV, set 1.9766 mV).

WEIGHING CONST.  DIVISION VALUE [1106] (divisions), instrument resolution with decimal point
if required.

WEIGHING CONST.  PRE-LOADED TARE [1105] Setting theoretical zero, prior to calibration.

To confirm the entered settings and activate the theoretical calibration, go to the “WEIGHT
CALIBRATION” submenu and select THEORETICAL CAL. The “DONE” message will confirm that
the set calibration has been activated.

- 14 -
 REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)

The “WEIGHT CALIBRAT.” submenu contains the items for calibrating with a sample weight.

Calibration with a sample weight is not an alternative to theoretical calibration, but requires the
theoretical calibration to have been performed correctly, in particular the full scale value
WEIGHING CONST.  L.CELLS CAPACITY [1102] overall will be considered as the
maximum weight limit that can be entered during the calibration procedure with a sample weight.

Proceed with the system in an idle condition and without any load to calibrate 0 using the item:
WEIGHT CALIBRAT.  ACQUIRE ZERO, “Zero calibration (zero signal acquisition)” and confirm.

Afterwards, for the load, apply a sample weight of at least 50% of the maximum quantity to be weighed.
Select:
WEIGHT CALIBRAT.  WEIGHT CALIBR., “Calibration of full scale with sample weight”.

The device display will prompt you to confirm the load by pressing “ENTER” and to indicate the
corresponding value of the representative quantity of the sample.

For greater weighing accuracy, 5-point linearization can be performed using different sample weights.
Select:
WEIGHT CALIBRAT.  LINEARIZATION, “Weight linearization procedure”.
During the linearization procedure, the device display will prompt you to confirm the weight and to
indicate the representative sample quantity for at most 5 times. A smaller number of points can be
entered by interrupting the procedure with the “ESC” key.

- 15 -
 WEIGHING PARAMETERS

PARAMETERS  FILTER FACTOR [1301], you can set a value between 0 and 9 (default: 4).
The digital weight filter can be increased or decreased. In the first case, the display weight response
is slowed down, which allows absorbing oscillations or vibrations of the weighing system. In the
second case, a faster response of changes in weight is obtained.

With the filter = 0 there is the minimum digital filter intervention.

With the filter = 9 there is the maximum digital filter intervention.

PARAMETERS  STABILITY FACTOR [1302], you can set a value between 0 and 4 (default: 2).
The stable weight condition is indicated by the relevant symbol ‘(S)’ on the LCD screen, this condition
can be determined more or less accurately and more or less quickly. Maximum accuracy is achieved
by setting the stability value to 0.

WEIGHT ZERO-SETTING

You can zero-set the weight to correct small zero displacements of the instrument in the following ways:

- From the condition of awaiting commands, by pressing the >0< key. Refer to section LED
FUNCTION AND KEYS.
The gross weight zero-setting command is not executed under the following conditions:
▫ Unstable weight (weight does not stabilize within the preset time set by PARAMETERS 
STABILITY FACTOR [1302]).
▫ Gross weight greater (positive or negative) than the automatic zero-setting threshold set in
PARAMETERS  ZERO BAND [div] [1306] (max 200 div).
- By activating zero tracking at power-on via PARAMETERS  INITIAL AUTOZERO [1304]. When
the instrument is switched on, if the displayed weight is less than the value programmed in this
item, the display will be reset to zero. Setting the value 0 disables the function. To perform zero-
setting, the weight must be stable: if the weight does not stabilize within 3 seconds of switching
on, the automatic zero-setting function will not be performed.
- By activating zero tracking for small variations via PARAMETERS  ZERO-TRACKING [1305].
You can set a value between NO/0.5d/1d/2d (Divisions per second). When the scales are unladen,
the instrument automatically corrects small and slow weight changes from the scales zero, the
corrections made are canceled when the instrument is switched off, the maximum correction limit
is the automatic zero-setting threshold. Setting the value 0 disables the function.

- 16 -
 SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE (NET/GROSS)

The semi-automatic tare can be performed in the following ways:

- From the condition of awaiting commands (see section LED FUNCTION AND KEYS) proceed as
follows:
Short press >T<: semi-automatic tare activation.
Long press >T< (2 seconds): cancellation of the set tare.

- By closing one of the available inputs by programming the relevant parameter: INPUT / OUTPUT
 FUNCTION INPUT (1-2) in semi-automatic tare mode.

Once the semi-automatic tare is activated, the device will continue to show the gross weight from the
main screen. To display the net weight, the data displayed must be switched via the VIS button until
the net weight is displayed (see section DISPLAYS AND ERROR MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY).

INPUT PROGRAMMING

The instrument has two optoisolated inputs.

To activate an input, the contact with the common terminal must be closed. Use the shortest possible
connection cable.

N. Terminal block, Serial ports, Inputs, Power supply 12P

16 Input 1
17 Input 2
18 Input common

The behavior when the contact is closed is programmable using the following parameters:

INPUT / OUTPUT  FUNCTION INPUT 1 [1401], Function selection of input 1. Selectable values:
Semi-automatic tare (Tare), Motor for SAFETY function (Motor), weight data transmission (Txd).

INPUT / OUTPUT  FUNCTION INPUT 2 [1402], Function selection of input 2. Selectable values:

 Output load selection
The setpoint is compared to the gross weight of
SINGLE
the instrument.
The setpoint is compared to the total load value
TOTAL of the weighing system. In this case the
sum/difference protocol must be active.
The setpoint is compared to the value of the
difference of the loads in the weighing system.
- In the case of 2 instruments, it indicates the
difference between load A and load B.
- In cases where the number of instruments
DIFFER.
exceeds 2, it indicates the difference
between the minimum load and the
maximum load of the weighing system. In
this case the sum/difference protocol must
be active.
The setpoint is compared with the total partial
load value (A+B in the case of instrument
PAIR address A or B, C+D in the case of instrument
address C or D). In this case the sum/difference
protocol must be active.

The sum/difference protocol (TOTAL, DIFFER, PAIR) can be activated for multi-instrument
configurations. (see section CONFIGURATION OF MULTI-INSTRUMENT WITH
MULTIPLE WEIGHINGS).

- 21 -
 SERIAL PORTS PROGRAMMING

The instrument has the following serial ports:

- COM1: RS232 for data transmission.

- COM2: RS485, for summing connection with other units, repeater and data transmission.
- COM3: RS485/RF for summing connection with other units, repeater and data transmission via
on-board RF module (optional). The menu items for its configuration are only available if the
module is installed.

Through the RS485 serial port it is possible to connect several instruments to each other and activate
the sum/difference protocol to evaluate the load detected by the different devices and to activate the
setpoints available accordingly. (see section CONFIGURATION OF MULTI-INSTRUMENT WITH
MULTIPLE WEIGHINGS).

 LIFE COUNTERS CONFIGURATION

One of the life control functions of the system can be enabled. The first one, called ‘Safety’, counts
the number of lifts detected and saves the system operating time. The second one, called ‘Overload’,
allows configuring a maximum of 3 progressive weight thresholds and records the threshold count as
well as the maximum peak reached. The counts can be reset with the relevant command.
The two modes of operation are mutually exclusive and can be activated or deactivated via the menu
item FUNCTIONAL PARS.  SAFETY FUNCTIONS [1003].
The related configuration menus are shown or hidden depending on the setting of this parameter.

SAFETY COUNTERS  OPERAT. COUNTER [1702], lifting operation counter (motor input
active). Increased value with variable frequency, according to the formula (CS / FS) ^ 3.
CF = Load raised.
FS = Rated capacity of the lifting system.
Value: 0÷999999

SAFETY COUNTERS  OPERATIONAL TIME [1706], System operating time (motor input active).
Value expressed in the format “HHHH:MM:SS” for total hours less than or equal to 9999, or
“HHHHHH:MM” for total hours greater than 9999.

SAFETY COUNTERS  SYSTEM CAPACITY [1708], rated capacity of the lifting system (password
protected 2792). Value: 0÷<capacity>.

SAFETY COUNTERS  RESET COUNTERS, counter reset procedure (password protected 1687).

OVERLOAD  SETPOINT 1 [1802], setting threshold of overload 1. The threshold values must be
progressive, otherwise the setting will not be accepted. Set this parameter to 0 to override overload
threshold control. Value: 0÷<capacity>.

OVERLOAD  SETPOINT 2 [1804], setting threshold of overload 2. The threshold values must be
progressive, otherwise the setting will not be accepted. Set this parameter to 0 to override overload
threshold control. Value: 0÷<portata>.

OVERLOAD  SETPOINT 3 [1806], setting threshold of overload 3. The threshold values must be
progressive, otherwise the setting will not be accepted. Set this parameter to 0 to override overload
threshold control. Value: 0÷<portata>.

OVERLOAD  HYSTERESIS [%] [1807], setting the overload hysteresis value. Value expressed as
a percentage of the capacity value. This parameter is used to determine the end threshold of the
loading procedure.
The loading procedure is determined by exceeding at least one overload threshold. The procedure
ends when the gross weight decreases to the threshold determined by the hysteresis value
(SETPOINT 1 - hysteresis). Value: 0÷100.

- 24 -
OVERLOAD  COUNTER 1 [1809], Overload 1 threshold counter display. Only the counter for the
maximum threshold reached during the loading procedure is increased. Value: 0÷999999.

 CONFIGURATION OF MULTI-INSTRUMENT WITH MULTIPLE WEIGHINGS

It is possible to compose a multi-instrument system of up to a maximum of 4 devices interconnected

with each other in RS485 or via an optional on-board RF module.

Available configurations:
- A+B = 2 Instruments
- A+B+C = 3 Instruments
- A+B+C+D = 4 Instruments

RS485 SERIAL CONNECTION

With reference to the section SERIAL PORTS PROGRAMMING and to the section OUTPUTS
PROGRAMMING, acting on each instrument, configuration involves the following steps:

- Connect terminal 12 to the corresponding terminal 12 of each instrument, and terminal 13 to the
corresponding terminal 13 of each instrument.
- Make sure you have set the same number of decimal places, correct accordingly. WEIGHING
CONST.  DIVISION VALUE [1106].
- Enable the Sum-Difference protocol: SERIAL PORTS  COM2 PROTOCOL [1507], value SUM / DIF.
- Differentiating each instrument, set its address according to the solution that is being created:
SERIAL PORTS  COM2 ADDRESS [1508]: A, B, C, D.
- Enter the total number of devices required using the parameter SERIAL PORTS  SUM UNITS
NUMBER [1509], value: 2 – A + B, 3 – A+B+C, 4 – A+B+C+D.
- Complete the serial port configuration by suitably setting the baud rate (SERIAL PORTS  COM2
BAUD RATE [1505]) and frame format (SERIAL PORTS  COM2 FRAME FORM. [1506]).

Once the communication between the various instruments has been set, it will be possible to view the
sum / difference value on the display of each instrument (see section VIEWING ON THE DISPLAY).

Finally, configure the desired setpoint behavior for each instrument, in particular act on the parameter
INPUT / OUTPUT  OUT (1-3) LOAD SEL., in order to determine the behavior of the output as a
function of the weight values considered.

- 26 -
 RF CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)

The multi-device connection can also be made via an on-board RF module (optional). If the module
is installed, its configuration items are shown in the SERIAL PORTS menu.

With reference to the section SERIAL PORTS PROGRAMMING and the section OUTPUTS
PROGRAMMING, acting on each instrument, configuration involves the following steps:

- Set the same RF-CHANNEL on each instrument that you want to connect using the
parameterSERIAL PORTS  RF CHANNEL SEL [1514].
- Make sure you have set the same number of decimal places, correct accordingly. WEIGHING
CONST.  DIVISION VALUE [1106].
- Enable the Sum-Difference protocol: SERIAL PORTS  COM3 PROTOCOL [1512], value
SUM/DIF.
- Differentiating each instrument, set its address according to the solution that is being created:
SERIAL PORTS  COM3 ADDRESS [1513]: A, B, C, D.
- Enter the total number of devices required using the parameter SERIAL PORTS  SUM UNITS
NUMBER [1509], value: 2 – A + B, 3 – A+B+C, 4 – A+B+C+D.
- Complete the serial port configuration by suitably setting the baud rate (SERIAL PORTS  COM3
BAUD RATE [1505]) and frame format (SERIAL PORTS  COM3 FRAME FORM. [1506]).

Once the communication between the various instruments has been set, it will be possible to view the
sum / difference value on the display of each instrument (see section VIEWING ON THE DISPLAY).

Finally, configure the desired setpoint behavior for each instrument, in particular act on the parameter
INPUT / OUTPUT  OUT (1-3) LOAD SEL., in order to determine the behavior of the output as a
function of the weight values considered.

 SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS

SLAVE PROTOCOL

Communication is always initiated by the PC. Transmit the described commands as ASCII strings. On
each generic command received correctly and, with an address corresponding to that of the device,
an acknowledgment of receipt is sent:
- In the case of a successful command: & & a a ! \ ck ck CR
- In case of a command received but with an error: & & a a ? \ ck ck CR

where:
- & & = 2 c. of string start (38 ASCII)
- a a = 2 c. of instrument numeric address
- ! = 1 c. of ok (33 ASCII)
- ? = 1 c. of ko / error (63 ASCII)
- \ = 1 c. of separation (92 ASCII)
- ck ck = 2 c. of check-sum (see section CALCULATION OF CHECK-SUM)
- CR = 1 c. of string end (13 ASCII)

If the command requires the device to return additional information such as a weight value, the specific
answer will be described in the relevant section.

On each request received via serial protocol during a fault condition among the listed ones, the device
will respond with a warning concerning the fault:
- Load cell nominal capacity exceeded = & a a s s O-L s t \ ck ck
- Incorrect load cell connection = & a a s s O-F s t \ ck ck

where:
- a a = 2 c. of instrument numeric address
- s = 1 c. separator (32 ASCII, space)
- t = type of data required by the command received

SETTING SETPOINT FROM PC

The PC must transmit the following string: $ a a x x x x x x y ck ck CR

where:
- $ = 1 character of string start (36 ASCII)
- aa = instrument address
- xxxxxx = 6 setpoint characters
- y = A (setpoint 1)
- y = B (setpoint 2)
- y = C (setpoint 3)
- ck ck = 2 check-sum characters (see section CALCULATION OF CHECK-SUM)

The setpoints set in this way are volatile, save them if you want to keep them after the device has
been restarted.

- 28 -
 SAVING SETPOINT TO E2prom MEMORY

The PC-programmed setpoints are saved in RAM volatile memory and lost when the instrument is
switched off. To save them as final, send the following command:

The PC must transmit: $ a a M E M ck ck CR

PC READING OF WEIGHT, SETPOINT AND PEAK (IF PRESENT)

The PC must transmit: $ a a j ck ck CR

where:
- j = a (setpoint 1)
- j = b (setpoint 2)
- j = c (setpoint 3)
- j = t (gross weight)
- j = n (net weight)
- j = p (peak)

In the case of correct reception, the instrument responds: & a a x x x x x x j \ ck ck CR

The first character from the left of the weight takes the value " -" (minus sign – 45 ASCII) in the case
of a negative weight, e.g. -00082.

ZERO-SETTING WEIGHT FROM PC

The PC must transmit: $ a a Z E R O ck ck CR

In the case of a request for zero-setting above the maximum resettable value, the response is: & a a # CR

The zero-setting will also be maintained after the instrument is switched off

SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE AND SWITCHING FROM GROSS WEIGHT TO NET WEIGHT

The PC must transmit: $ a a N E T ck ck CR

- 29 -
 SWITCHING FROM NET WEIGHT TO GROSS WEIGHT

The PC must transmit: $ a a G R O S S ck ck CR

READING DECIMAL PLACES AND NUMBER OF DIVISIONS

The PC must transmit: $ a a D ck ck CR

In the case of correct reception, the instrument responds: & a a x y \ ck ck CR

where:
- a a = instrument address;
- x = number of decimals;
- y = division value.

In the case of a fixed zero, the field “ y ” takes the following values:
- '6' for division value = 10;
- '7' for division value = 20;
- '8' for division value = 50;
- '9' for division value = 100.

- 30 -
 REPEATER/REPEATER C PROTOCOL

Baud rate 1200/115200, string transmitted 10 times per second.

The following string is transmitted in this protocol:

& ‘N’ <NET> ‘L’ <GROSS> ‘\’ <CK> CR
& N x x x x x x L y y y y y y \ ck ck CR

where:
- & = character of string start (38 ASCII)
- N = a net reference character (78 ASCII)
- x x x x x x = 6 ASCII characters of net or peak weight right justified (4857 ASCII).
- L = a gross weight reference character (76 ASCII)
- y y y y y y = 6 ASCII characters of gross or peak weight right justified (4857 ASCII)
- \ = 1 c. of separation (92 ASCII)
- ck ck = 2 check-sum characters. See section CALCULATION OF CHECK-SUM.
- CR = 1 c. of string end (13 ASCII)

The first character from the left of the net or gross weight takes the value " -" (minus sign – 45 ASCII)
in the case of a negative weight.

If the protocol “Repeater C.” is selected, the net weight, gross weight or peak will include the decimal
places separated by a point.

The total number of characters available includes any “.” or “-” symbols.
If the maximum number of characters is exceeded:
- in case of positive weight the value “^^^^^^“ is transmitted
- in case of negative weight the value “_ _ _ _ _ _ “ is transmitted

- 31 -
 CONTINUOUS WEIGHT TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL

This protocol is used for continuous transmission, usually to the repeater panel.
Protocol compatible with RIPLED5100 repeater.
Baud rate 1200/115200, string transmitted 10 times per second.

The following string is transmitted in this protocol:

STX <STATUS> <WEIGHT> ETX <CK> EOT

where:
- STX = start of text (02 ASCII)
- <STATUS> = character coded as per table below (bit = 1 if condition = True)

Bit 7 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0

0 0 1 1 Tare Minimum Stable Zero
Entered Weighing Weight Center

- <WEIGHT> = field composed of 8 ASCII characters with the weight value justified right.
- Under conditions of weight above maximum capacity, it takes the value: “^^^^^^^^^“.
- In conditions with a negative weight greater than 9 divisions, it takes the value: “_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _“.
- EXT = End of text (03 ASCII).
- <CK> = 2 check-sum characters (see section CALCULATION OF CHECK-SUM).
- EOT = End of transmission (04 ASCII).

- 32 -
 SUMMING PROTOCOL

The following string is transmitted in this protocol:

STX <ID> <NET> <GROSS> ETX <CK> EOT

- STX = start of text (02 ASCII)

- EXT = End of text (03 ASCII)
- EOT = End of transmission (04 ASCII)
- <ID>: instrument identifier; can be ‘A’ (41 ASCII value) or ‘B’ (42 ASCII value) or ‘C’ (43 ASCII value)
or ‘D’ (44 ASCII value).
- <NET> and <GROSS>: are fields with 6 ASCII characters with values between “0” and “9” (30 hex
and 39 hex), with no spaces or decimal points. In the case of negative weight, the first character
of the <NET> and <GROSS> field is "-” (2Dhex).
- <CK>: see section CALCULATION OF CHECK-SUM.

SINGLE TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL

String transmitted in case of activation of an input set to “Txd” operation. This transmission is
performed on each serial port that is set to “None” or “Slave” operation.

<ADDRESS> <STATUS> <WEIGHT> ETX <CK> EOT

- <ADDRESS>: instrument identifier; it is the ASCII character obtained by adding 80 h to the

address number (for example, address 1: <Ind> = 80 h+ 01 h = 81 h).
- <STATUS> = character coded as per table below (bit = 1 if condition = True).

Bit 7 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0

Tare Minimum Stable Zero
0 0 1 1
Entered Weighing Weight Center

- <NET>: fields composed of 8 ASCII characters with the weight value justified right.
- Under overweight conditions, the field takes the value: “^^^^^^^^”.
- Under underweight conditions, the field takes the value: “_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _”.
- Under weight read error conditions, the field takes the value: “ O-L ”.
- ETX: end of text; data string end character (value 03 ASCII).
- <CK>: see section CALCULATION OF CHECK-SUM.
- EOT = end of transmission (04 ASCII).

- 33 -
 CALCULATION OF CHECK-SUM

The check-sum consists of 2 ASCII characters (ck ck) obtained by following this procedure:

- For the calculation, consider only the significant characters in the string between the delimiter
characters, excluding the delimiter characters. For example, all the characters between
STX<…>ETX.
- Calculate the EXCLUSIVE OR or (XOR) of the ASCII character codes:
- the binary operation XOR gives the result 1 when the number of 1 of the operands is odd, otherwise
it gives the result 0.

Example:

character code Decimal ASCII code Hexadecimal ASCII code Binary ASCII
0 48 30 00110000
1 49 31 00110001
t 116 74 01110100
XOR = 117 75 01110101

- The result of the XOR operation expressed in hexadecimal notation is composed of 2 hexadecimal
digits (i.e. numbers 0 to 9 or letters A to F).
- The check sum consists of the 2 characters representing the result of the XOR operation in
hexadecimal notation (in our example the character "7" and the character "5").

Examples of calculated check sum: $01t75<CR> (address 1 weight required, slave protocol).
