ALYA Gina
Slovensky
EnglishALYA Gina communication protocol
This protocol is used to read the weighted values from scales produced by ALYA Poprad. It can be used only when a single scale is connected to a line since it does not contain addressing of the scale.
For communication with more scales, the ALYA SPOOL protocol may be used.
Category of communication line: Serial (RS-232 or RS-422), SerialOverUDP Device Redundant
Parameters of the serial line:
Baud rate: 2400 Baud
8 data bits
1 stop bit
Parity: Odd
Note: to get the communication started with a specific device, the DTR and RTS signals had to be set to ON, therefore the SerialOverUDP Device Redundant communication line together with a MOXA NPort-5110 serial server set to the UDP mode could not be used (the UDP mode does not support the setting of DTR and RTS signals to a fixed value). Instead, the MOXA NPort-5110 serial server had to be switched to a Real COM mode and a Serial line had to be configured.
Communication protocol: Alya Gina
The station address is unimportant.
Station protocol parameters
Communication station - configuration dialog box - "Protocol parameters" tab.
They influence some of the optional parameters of the protocol.
Table 1
Keyword | Full name | Meaning | Unit | Default value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
WT | Wait Timeout | Delay between the readings of response until it is completed. | ms | 100 millisec. |
WFT | Wait First Timeout | First waiting on a response after sending the request. | ms | 100 millisec. |
MWR | Max Wait Retry | The number of response reading retry until it is completed. | - | 6 |
RC | Retry Count | The number of request retries if a communication error occurs. | - | 2 |
Possible I/O tag types: AI
Addresses of I/O tags:
NET - net weight of the load
TARA - tare - the weight of the packaging
Note: If a scale sends a message, which means that the platform is not stabilized yet, the NET and TARA I/O tags will have invalid values.
