IDC Series - Counting Scale

IDC Printing –Setup and Operation

IDC counting scale results printed using OX-2130D to permanent labels

Overview.

The IDC series counting scale from Intelligent Weighing Technology Inc (IWTI) is equipped with a

single DB9 serial port for use with a printer for hardcopy report or to Windows computer for e-

recordkeeping. IDC may be configured with limited RS232 settings, print formats for line or special

label printer, and an option for auto print setting in association with the accumulation function.

This document is an addendum to the IDC user manual intended to clarify feature setup and print

operation for dealers and users. “Print” is used here to mean “weigh and/or count data with

descriptive labels” sent from IDC over RS232 to either a printer or to a computer COM port.

IDC print configuration setup is detailed step by step. Examples are provided of all IDC print format

configuration settings. Refer to each printer manual for printer setup and operation.

Document revision history

This first release addendum is expected to apply to all IDC series shipped in 2014 to present –

including all earlier firmware back to at least U237-C. Contact IWTI Applications with IDC serial

number to verify date of shipment or for assistance in verifying firmware on any IDC.

Compatible IWTI Printers

Compatible line printers, label printers (and media supplies) are available from IWTI, including printer

models OIP-100, OTP-200, and OX-2130D, as described below.

OIP-100 is legacy impact RS232 line printer that prints using inked replaceable ribbons on normal “2”

roll paper (receipt), either single or dual ply (for original and copy).

OTP-200 is modern thermal RS232 line printer that prints using heat (not inked ribbons) on normal 2”

roll thermal paper or a special 2” thermal roll “liner-less” self-adhesive media for removable labeling.

OX-2130D is a thermal RS232 label printer that prints using heat on right sized nominal 2”x2” white

permanent thermal labels rolls with backing. IDC label format ONLY supports OX-2130D label printer.

Required RS232 cables for IDC scale to printer - are included with IWTI printers

Any IWTI printer purchased with IDC series counting scale with be configured, tested, and shipped

with all serial cables from scale to printer. See later in document for standard configuration.

Any IWTI printer purchased later for use with IDC scale previously purchased can be shipped with

tested cable for use with IDC scales, if printer purchase order is clearly marked “Configure for IDC”.

IDC configuration check or reset may still be required at install due to user settings changes.

Required RS232 cables for IDC scale to computer - are optional and availabe

Normally most RS232 bulkhead connectors on scales are DB9F and are wired to allow a normal

DB9M to DB9F straight-through cable to connect to DB9M serial connector on a Windows computer,

or DB9M connector on RS232 to USB adapter –for newer computer. This is not the case for IDC.

The IDC RS232 DB9F port requires a “null modem” (pin 2 to 3 crossed) wired connection for

computer communications. Null modem adapters (available from IWTI or other commercial sources)

may be added to “straight through” DB9M-DB9F serial cables for IDC use with computers.

Limited options for using non-IWTI printers with IDC

Non-IWTI line printers whether supplied by dealer or user may also work with IDC if careful

consideration is made of cabling requirements and minimum printer specifications. IWTI may provide

limited technical dealer or user support for third-party printer integration with IDC at its sole discretion

but in all cases, serial cabling will be the responsibility of the dealer or user.

Non-IWTI label printers whether supplied by dealer or user are not expected to work with IDC. The

IDC label print (page) format is permanently encoded in IDC firmware, and is programmed only for

the special label printer commands, and label media size supplied as option for IDC. There is no

IWTI, dealer, or user option for changing the IDC label format for use with any other label printer.

Configuring and Connecting - IDC for use with IWTI RS232 Printer

If you have purchased a IWTI printer with the IDC then the basic configuration is already completed.

With both IDC printer and printer powered off –connect the DB9M cable end to the IDC DB9F (at the

back left side of IDC) –then connect the DB9F end of the cable to the DB9M cable already connected

to the printer.

Do not connect the printer cable to the IDC using the DB9F connector closest to front at left side. That

DB9F connector for connecting the load cell of an external scale external –not RS232

IWTI printers are typically factory configured by default for RS232 settings as follows: Baud: 9600

baud, Data bits: 8, Parity: none, Stop bits: 1. The standard practice in IWTI pre-ship configuration for

scales sold with printers is change RS232 setting on scale to match default printer settings of 9600,8,

N,1. If a scale was purchased with printer, this configuration will have already been done by IWTI. If

the printer was purchased later for use with existing IDC, then the printer will be checked and set to

9600,8,N,1 - if not already. The IDC will then need to be checked to be sure it is still set to the IDC

default of 9600,8,N,1.

Note: Default IDC RS232 setting is 9600,8,N,1 for most recent units. The current IDC manual

incorrectly states the RS232 default is 4800,8,N,1.

Detail

The scales to printer cable is a DB9

For use with MBS software on a Local Server by COM port, the AJ-MBS scale settings are factory

default, except for output, which is set to continuous. The RS232 settings are all factory default,

except for baud rate, which is set to 9600.

See page 2 for Configuring AJ-MBS scales to MBS software by COM port using:

1) AJ-MBS serial cable with DB9F, 2) Windows computer with DB9M COM or added DB9M by

RS232-to-USB adapter - connected to powered USB, and 3) Compatible MBS COM based

software set to match AJ-MBS scale COM port.

a. Computer administrator rights are required to install VCOM driver (if needed) and optional CTS test

software.

AJ-MBS scales also work with cloud based MBS software using a hardware or software wedge.

See TD104b-Cloud for AJ-MBS scale setup for use with cloud based MBS software.

i. Set parameter 71. o.c. to value 1 (Output: Continuous at all times)

ii. Set parameter 72. b.L. to value 4 (for Baud rate: 9600)

1. See Appendix A for detailed instruction for setting scale.

b. Then press key to save setup - scale will return weigh mode in seconds.

c. The scale and scale serial port are now set to…

i. Continuous, Baud:9600, Parity:N, Databits:8, StopBits:2, FlowCont:None

2) Step 2 - Connect the Scale to Computer by COM port.

a. With scale unplugged from power, unplugged from computer, and computer off

i. Turn on computer - continue when Windows initialized –with view of desktop.

ii. If RS232-to-USB adapter will be used –install driver - if not already done so.

1. RS232-to-USB adapter operation may be validated with optional CTS software and

loopback connector. See Appendix B for validation using CTS software.

iii. If you are not sure of the computer COM or VCOM port used for adapter.

1. check in Device Manager - Control Panel in Windows

b. Connect scale to computer using AJ-MBS serial cable.

i. Scale should be powered off and unplugged before connecting to computer

ii. Using AJ-MBS serial cable - connect scale DIN5 connector to DB9M on computer.

c. Plug in scale power cable and turn on scale.

i. The scale initializes, a weight value is seen on the scale display, the scale output is continuously

and automatically sent over the AJ-MBS serial cable and the RS232-to-USB adapter (if used) to

the to the connected computer COM port.

d. Optional - Step 2.d –Validate scale to computer by COM link (see Appendix B).

i. Scale to computer by COM link can be validated with CTS Software and loopback device.

1. Before Appendix B testing, power off scale, but leave scale connected to computer.

2. Upon returning from Appendix B, close CTS software –if not already done.

3) Step 3 –Using Scale with MBS Software by COM.

a. If returning to this step, after CTS COM testing in Appendix B, check that CTS is closed.

b. Setup MBS software COM link –following MBS software manufacturer instructions.

i. Set the COM/RS232 setting in MBS software to match scale

1. Set the scale model for emulation as recommended by your scale supplier.

2. Same COM port number as for scale in step 2.a.iii above.

3. Same RS232 settings as for scale in step 1.ci., Continuous,9600,N,8,2

c. The MBS software should now be ready for use with the scale.

i. The weigh entry fields in the MBS software will be continuously updated with weight.

d. If scale weigh data is not seen in MBS software…

i. Proceed to Appendix B for CTS Test 1 and CTS Test 2 –if not already done so.

ii. If scale to MBS software link by COM is still not working –contact your service provider
