2.6.6 Micro USB Device Communications

The Micro USB port, J7 connector, is intended to be connected to a PC only. It appears as a Virtual COM Port and is assigned a “COMx” designation. Applications communicate through the port like a standard RS-232 communications port.

With the PC and LaserLight3 powered on, connect a USB cable from the PC to the micro USB connector (J7) on the LaserLight3. A new COM Port designation is assigned for each physical USB port the LaserLight3 is connected to on the PC.

WARNING: Use a grounding wrist strap to protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working inside the enclosure or on the front door.

For example, if the PC has four physical COM Ports with two are in use, they most likely are designated COM1 and COM2. When connecting the LaserLight3 to a USB port on the PC, it is assigned the next available port designation, or in this case, COM3. When plugging into the same physical USB port on the PC, the port designation is again COM3. If plugging into another physical USB port on the PC, it is assigned the next available designation, in this case COM4.

Use Windows application to be used with the LaserLight3, such as Revolution, to see which ports are available.

Configuration of the Micro USB port is done in the USB sub-menu under Communication in Setup mode. If Remote In is set, other features (such as sending EDP commands) are disabled.

The port can be configured as either a demand port for EDP commands and printing, or as a data streaming port (Remote In parameter).

NOTE: This port is not a host port and is not intended to be connected to other devices such as keyboards, memory sticks or printers.

NOTE: If a computer application has an open communications connection through the Micro USB device port and the physical cable connection is interrupted, a soft reset (short J30 momentarily) must be performed on the LaserLight3 or the power must be cycled to the LaserLight3; the connection in the computer application must be disconnected and then reconnected before it continues to communicate with the LaserLight3.

For the Micro USB device port, it does not matter what the settings are for Baud, Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bits in the computer software. The port communicates in the same way regardless of these settings.

2.6.7 Ethernet TCP/IP

The LaserLight3 features Ethernet TCP/IP 10Base-T/100Base-TX communication using the J8 connector (Section 2.7 on

page 21), and can support two simultaneous connections, one as a server, the other as a client.

Through an Ethernet network, software applications can communicate with the LaserLight3 using the EDP command set (Section 7.0 on page 74), or data can be streamed continuously from the LaserLight3, or printed on demand.

The Ethernet port supports both DHCP and manual configuration of settings such as the IP and netmask. In addition, the TCP Port number, and the Default Gateway can be configured using the Ethernet sub-menu of the Ports setup menu. For more information on configuring the Ethernet port see Section 5.2.1.3 on page 60.

Physical connection to the LaserLight3 Ethernet port can be made directly from a PC to the LaserLight3 (AdHoc Network), or through a network router or switch. The port supports auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cable configuration, allowing either straightthrough or crossover cables to be used. See Figure 2-15 for the pin assignments for the J8 connector.

See Table 2-6 and Table 2-7 for the pin assignments when connecting a RJ45 Ethernet cable to the J8 connector. There are two Ethernet wire standards (T568A and T568B). If the type of cable is unknown, use the wiring option in Table 2-6. The autosensing feature of the Ethernet port allows either of the wiring options to function. Trim unused wires.

4.0 Remote Display Configuration

This section describes how to configure LaserLight3 as a remote display.

NOTE: Configuration occurs, after unpacking (Section 2.1), wiring is complete (Section 2.5), and Setup mode access (Section 2.7.2 on page 22) is configured.

When configuring the LaserLight3 as a remote display, set the Display Type parameter then define Auto-Learn or Manual Mode. Auto-Learn mode (Section 4.2.2) attempts to parse weighment data from the connected indicator. In the event a parsed data format is unknown, Auto-Learn mode activates and attempts to rectify weighment data. If it is unable to parse the weighment data, Manual Mode must be used to configure how data is displayed (Section 4.3 on page 40).

4.1 Configure Display Type

When configuring the display, the Dsplay (Display) Type parameter must be set. Set the parameter as Legacy (annunciators along the bottom, allows specific serial commands and external switches), Standard (annunciators along the right side) or Cardnal (replicates score board or message board displays) (see Section 5.2.3 on page 63 for definitions).

4.2 Automatic Configuration

LaserLight3 provides three functions that attempt to automatically set remote display parameters:

• Automatic Baud Configuration (Section 4.2.1 on page 37)

• Auto-Learn (Section 4.2.2 on page 38)

4.2.1 Automatic Baud Configuration

The automatic baud configuration feature automatically sets the serial communication protocol (RS-232, RS-485/422 and 20 mA current loop) parameters. Automatic baud configuration searches for serial communication settings (baud rate, bits and stop bits) until it finds and sets parameters that establish a serial connection.

NOTE: Prior to activating automatic baud configuration, current Baud, Bits, and Stop Bits parameter values can be recorded from the Serial menu to later verify and compare value changes.

Figure 4-2 displays the menu path to the Baud parameter.

4.2.2 Auto-Learn and Data String Recognition

Auto-Learn examines the data stream sent from the connected indicator and determines the data settings and format used by the indicator. Auto-Learn is capable of recognizing several common data string formats used in the weighing industry. AutoLearn is enabled when the Trigger parameter for a communication protocol (RS-232, RS-485/422, 20 mA current loop, Ethernet or Wi-Fi) is configured as RmtIn (Remote In).

NOTE: Only configure one communication protocol as RmtIn (Remote In). If more than one communication protocol is configured as RmtIn (Remote In), LaserLight3 uses the first communication protocol configured with RmtIn (Remote In) that occurs in the system menu:

• RS232-1

• RS232-2

• 20mA

• RS485/422

• Ethernet Server

• Ethernet Client

• WiFi

For example, if RS232-2 and WiFi were set as Remote In, RS232-2 would be used as it appears before WiFi in the list above.

NOTE: For Auto-Learn to function properly, data must be sent using one of the predefined stream data formats (Section 9.5

on page 97).

NOTE: Auto-Learn mode may be bypassed by using Manual Mode. For more information about Manual Mode see

Section 4.3 on page 40.

Figure 4-3 provides a flow chart that displays each communication protocol Remote In parameter.

Remote Display Configuration

If Remote In parameter is enabled, LaserLight3 attempts to learn the incoming data steam when it is powered on, when the data stream starts or when the data stream is paused and restarted. In order for the Auto-Learn to function, the incoming data stream must be supported (Section 9.5 on page 97).

NOTE:

Access to Setup mode parameters

(see Section 2.7.2 on page 22)

are required to access the Remote In parameter.

1. Enable Remote In parameter for the required communication protocol:

• For RS-232, RS-485/422 or 20 mA current loop, navigate to Setup ▼ Comm ▼ Serial ▼ Communication protocol ▼ Trigger.

• For Ethernet Client, navigate to Setup ▼ Comm ▼ Serial ► ... ► Ethernet ▼ Mac ID ► ... ► EthClnt ▼Echo ▼... ▼Trigger.

• For Ethernet Server, navigate to Setup ▼ Comm ▼ Serial ► ... ► Ethernet ▼ Mac ID ► ... ► EthSrvr ▼Port ▼... ▼ Trigger.

• For Wi-Fi, navigate to Setup ▼ Comm ▼ Serial ► ... ► Wi-Fi ▼ Enabled ► Trigger.

NOTE: See Section 5.2.1 on page 57 for more details about communication parameters.

2. Press . The configured parameter displays.

3. Press and until RmtIn (Remote In) displays.

4. Press to confirm the parameter configuration.

5. Press to exit the menu.

6. One of the following occurs:

• Data displays

• NODATA display (no data is received)

• OvrRng (Over Range) error displays

• Dashes (no port is configured as a remote input)

NOTE: If NODATA appears, this represents that data is not received from the indicator and to verify connection from the indicator to LaserLight3.

If OvrRng (over range) displays after the Auto-Learn process parses data, then the weighment value sent is beyond the capabilities of the display (six characters). Setting WgtBeg (Weight Begin) and WgtEnd (Weight End) parameters in Manual Mode frequently resolves character quantity issues (see Section 4.3.2 on page 41).

NOTE: If LaserLight3 does not match a data format, it automatically attempts to parse the weight, units, mode, status and weight data out of frame. At a minimum weight, unit and mode data are required. If a valid weight cannot be found, Manual Mode (Section 4.3 on page 40) must be used to configure LaserLight3.

4.3.2 Configuring Manual Mode Parameters

After Manual Mode is enabled, many parameters must be configured. Manual Mode parameter configuration differs from most other parameters found on LaserLight3. Instead of selecting from a list of predefined values, most Manual Mode parameters are configured by:

• Selecting characters from a parsed data string (Section 4.3.2.1)

• Using a text string editor to edit a text string (Section 4.3.2.2 on page 43)

Figure 4-5 displays a menu path to the Manual Mode parameters.

4.3.2.3 MnlMode (Manual Mode) Parameter Configuration

Cursor selection and text string parameters are contained in Manual Mode configuration. This section provides a general guide of how to configure Manual Mode parameters. For information about hows to configure each parameter and menu paths, see

Section 4.3.2.1 on page 41 and Section 4.3.2.2 on page 43.

1. Navigate to Setup ▼ Comm ►...►Remote ▼ Manual ▼ MnlMode ► MnlMVal ► AnchrSq.

2. Press . The AnchrSq (Anchor Sequence) parameter configuration displays.

3. Configure AnchrSq parameter.

NOTE: The AnchrSq is a text string parameter that defines the repeating anchor point in a text string. This point can be any repeating characters at front or end of the text string. The repeating character must reoccur in the same position across all received data strings. In addition, there are additional constraints that must be adhered to when configuring this parameter:

• Non-printable characters must be entered in hex code and placed inside “< >” brackets (see Section 9.3 on page 94).

The exceptions are carriage return <CR> and line feed <LF>.

• Several data strings end with termination type characters: <CR>, <LF>, <CR><LF>, <02> (STX) or <03> (ETX)

Figure 4-10. AnchrSq Parameter Configuration Example

4. Configure cursor selection parameters (Section 4.3.2.1 on page 41):

4.1 Set WgtBeg as the start of the weight and WgtEnd as the end of the weight.

Figure 4-11. WgtBeg and WgtEnd Configuration

4.2 Set UnitBeg as the start of the unit and UnitEnd as the end of the unit.

Figure 4-12. UnitBeg and Unitnd Configuration

NOTE: In this example there is only one character for the unit, Lb (L), therefore the same character is selected for both the UnitBeg and UnitEnd parameters.

4.3 Set MdeStr as the start of the mode and MdeEnd as the end of the mode.

Figure 4-13. MdeStr and MdeEnd Configuration

NOTE: In this example there is only one character for the Mode (M), Gross (G), therefore the same character is selected for both the ModeBeg and ModeEnd parameters.

4.4 Set StatBeg as the start of the status and StatEnd as the end of the status.

NOTE: If there is no status displayed, the character for status may be blank. If the status character location is unknown, a simulator can be used to input a status and cause the character to populate.

4.5 Set PolBeg as the start of the polarity and PolEnd as the end of the polarity.

Figure 4-15. Polarity Configuration

NOTE: The character for positive polarity may be a blank character as some data streams do not define positive polarity with a positive (+) symbol. If polarity character location is unknown, a simulator can be used to apply a negative weight value to the scale and populate the negative (-) character onscreen.

In this example there is only one character for Polarity, therefore the same character is selected for both the PolBeg and PolEnd parameters.

5. Configure UnitDef (Unit Definition), ModeDef (Mode Definition), StatDef (Status Definition), PolDefs (Polarity Definition) sub-parameters as described in Section 4.3.2.2 on page 43.

NOTE:

By default each parameters. Each parameter must contain the same quantity of characters. If more characters are required, ensure the same quantity is used across the parameter group. If required, use leading spaces to increase character quantity (for example, _G).

4.4 Demand Print String Displaying

The indicator and LaserLight3 remote display can be configured tor display a demand print string. Demand print display is set up using Auto-Learn when the HoldWt (Hold Weight) parameter is turned on (see Section 5.2.6 on page 67). It can also be set up manually by configuring the parameters of the remote display and indicator. Using Auto-Learn, ensure HoldWt is on and continuously push the print button on the indicator to acquire a demand print display.

4.5 Serial Commands

The LaserLight3 has the ability to receive commands, display messages, or use digital I/O. Commonly used serial command scenarios, include:

• When interfaced to an indicator which has a configurable serial string, the print ticket format can be configured, allowing the user to press Print on the indicator and send a message which temporarily interrupts the streamed weight display. The length of time the message displays is defined by the MSG TM (Message Time) parameter in the Config menu (Section 5.2.6 on page 67).

• If the LaserLight3 remote display is interfaced with a programmable smart indicator, a user program can be written allowing the user to send messages. The user can send one message to temporarily override the streamed weight display.

• The remote display accepts serial commands to return the current time and date or to set the time and date to a new setting. This information can be used in conjunction with user programs in the indicator and remote display to ensure both have the same time and date settings.

4.5.1 Remote Display Command Format:

The following is an example of serial command format or message formatting commands: |<AA><CC>|<Data>!

Where:

| = Pipe character (Ox7C) AA = Two byte address, ASCII digits (0-31) CC = Two byte command, ASCII characters | = Pipe character (Ox7C) Data = Data depending on command ! = Exclamation point character (0 x21)

NOTE: Commands, GT, ST, DI, DO, GV, and the feedback results are not displayed on remote display. Display message commands must not be sent faster than once every second.

Command Description Example

DM Display message <Data> is a six character message |00DM|HELLO !

Alternative command |00DM HELLO !

GT Get time and date; Information gathered is sent back to the indicator; Ensure both remote

display and indicator match

ST Set time and date

NOTE: Two spaces are required between time and date entries. Time must be entered in a 24-hour format.

DI Read digital input levels and returns a hex representation of 0 - F (0 - 15) of all active

digital inputs bits. Digital Input bits follow:

• Digital input bit 1 = 1

• Digital input bit 2 = 2

• Digital input bit 3 = 4

• Digital input bit 4 = 8

NOTE: The returned value must be converted from hex to decimal. For example, all bits turned on would be a hex value of F (15 in decimal).

Parameter Description

Dsplay (Display Type) Changes how information is presented on the display with three parameters.

Bright configures the intensity of brightness displayed. Ambient light sensor detects light or brightness similar to a human eye. These parameters configure how the ambient light sensor adjusts the brightness on the LaserLight3:

Day – Select brightness during day; Brightness is set from 1–6 (16.67–100%) of full brightness; light sensor

averages measured ambient light continuously over a 5-second time span; Day values = % of maximum brightness; Settings: 1, 2, 3, 4 (default), 5, 6

Night – Select brightness during night; Brightness is set from 1–6 (16.67–100%) of full brightness; light sensor

averages measured ambient light continuously over a 5-second time span; Night values = % of maximum brightness; Settings: 1, 2, 3, 4 (default), 5, 6

DayLVL – DYLVL is The ambient brightness threshold at which the display changes from night to day mode and

vice versa; Settings range between 1 through 10 with 1 requiring less intense light to change to day mode and 10 requiring more intense light to change from night to day mode; Select the daylight level at which the display switches to DAY brightness mode; This may require some trial and error, due to the unique lighting conditions of the environment; Settings: 1, 2, 3, 4 (default), 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Intnsty – Brightness is set from 1–6 (16.67–100%) of full brightness or as DayLVL (uses Day, Night and DayLVL

parameters to automatically adjust brightness for day and night); Settings: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (default), DayLVL

Type sets a predefined arrangement of information on the display;

Standard (default) – sets display with about 5 in weight digits with annunciators stacked on the right side Legacy – sets display with about 3.75 in weight digits with annunciators along the bottom. This configuration also

provides functionality for serial commands or digital inputs to function with traffic symbols (see Section 4.5 on page

50 and Section 4.6 on page 54)

Cardnal – Replicates Cardinal indicator display for message board and score board modes. These modes typically include a stop and go function that is controlled from the Cardinal indicator (see Section 9.7 on page 102)

6.0 Revolution

The Revolution utility provides a suite of functions used to support configuration, calibration, customization and backup of the LaserLight3 software. Calibration values and scale configuration can both be saved and restored to the LaserLight3 using Revolution.

NOTE: For system requirements and software download visit the Revolution product page on:

https://www.ricelake.com/products/revolution-scale-software/.

6.1 Connecting to LaserLight3

Connect the PC serial port to a LaserLight3 comm port, then click Connect in the toolbar. Revolution attempts to establish communications to the LaserLight3. If communication settings need to be adjusted, select Options… from the Tools menu in Revolution.

Downloading to the LaserLight3

The Send Configuration to Device function in the Revolution Communications menu allows a Revolution configuration file (with or without scale calibration data) or ticket formats to be sent/downloaded to a connected LaserLight3 in Setup mode.

The Send Section to Device function in the Communications menu allows the download of only the currently displayed object, such as a scale configuration.

Because less data is transferred using the Send Section to Device, it is typically faster than a full configuration download, but there is an increased possibility the download fails due to dependencies on other objects. If the download fails, try performing a complete download using the Send Configuration to Device function.

Uploading Configuration to Revolution

The Get Configuration from Device function in the Revolution Communications menu allows the existing configuration of a connected LaserLight3 to be saved to a file on the PC. Once saved, the configuration file provides a backup which can be quickly restored to the LaserLight3 if needed. Alternatively, the file can be edited within Revolution and sent back to the LaserLight3.

6.2 Saving and Transferring Data

NOTE:

6.2.1 Saving LaserLight3 Data to a PC

Configuration data can be saved to a computer connected to the selected port. The PC must be running a communications program such as PROCOMMPLUS When configuring the LaserLight3, ensure the values set for the baud and bits parameters on the serial menu match the baud

rate, bits and parity settings configured for the serial port on the PC. To save all configuration data, first put the communications program into data capture mode, then

Setup mode and send the DUMPALL command to the LaserLight3. The LaserLight3 responds by sending all configuration parameters to the PC as ASCII-formatted text.

6.2.2 Downloading Configuration Data from PC to LaserLight3

Configuration data saved on a PC or disc can be downloaded from the PC to an LaserLight3. This procedure is useful when a number of LaserLight3s with similar configurations are set up or when an LaserLight3 is replaced.

To download configuration data, connect the PC to the selected port as described in Section 6.2.1. Place LaserLight3 in Setup mode and use the PC communications software to send the saved configuration data to the LaserLight3.

Revolution has a module to save and transfer data. It is the preferred method over using ProComm or similar.

7.0 EDP Commands

The LaserLight3 indicator can be controlled by a personal computer connected to one of the indicator communication ports. Control is provided by a set of commands which can simulate front panel key press functions, return and change setup parameters, and perform reporting functions. The commands provide the capability to print configuration data or to save data to an attached personal computer. This section describes the EDP command set and procedures for saving and transferring data using the communication ports. The EDP command set is divided into several groups.

When the indicator processes a command, it either responds with a value (for reporting commands, or when querying parameter settings), or with the message OK. The OK response verifies the command was received and has been executed. If the command is unrecognized, the indicator responds with ?? invalid command. If the command cannot be executed in the current mode, the indicator responds with ?? invalid mode. If the command is recognized, but the value is out of range or an invalid type, the indicator responds with ?? followed by the type and the range.

7.1 Key Press Commands

Key press serial commands simulate pressing keys on the front panel of the indicator. These commands can be used in both setup and Weigh mode. Several of the commands serve as pseudo keys, providing functions which are not represented by a key on the front panel.

For example, to enter a 15 lb tare weight using serial commands:

1. Type K1 and press

2. Type K5 and press

3. Type KTARE and press

Enter (or Return). Enter.

Enter.

Kn This command acts like pressing numbers 0 (zero) through 9 KLOCK=x In Weigh mode, this command locks specified front panel key; x = KPRINT, KUNITS, KTARE, KGROSSNET, KZERO,

(example: to lock the Zero key, enter KLOCK=KZERO)

KUNLOCK=x In Weigh mode, this command unlocks specified front panel key; x = KPRINT, KUNITS, KTARE, KGROSSNET, KZERO,

(example: to unlock the Print key, enter KUNLOCK=KPRINT)

TEST.KEYPAD Allows testing of the keys on the keypad. To Test keys:

• Input TEST.KEYPAD=ON to enter test mode

• Push keys on keypad

• Input TEST.KEYPAD=OFF to exit test mode

NOTE: The LaserLight3 must be setup mode to use this function.

Use the Revolution configuration utility (Section 6.0 on page 72) to store a copy of the LaserLight3 configuration on a PC before attempting battery replacement. The LaserLight3 configuration can be restored from the PC if data is lost.

NOTE: When LaserLight3 is opened, the CPU board is presented with the text oriented upside down. This section reflects the orientation of the CPU board when viewed in an open LaserLight3 enclosure.

WARNING: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to federal, state and local regulations.

IMPORTANT: Use anti-static protection for grounding and to protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working inside the LaserLight3 enclosure. Procedures requiring work inside the LaserLight3 must be performed by qualified service personnel only.

For example, enter the following string of format tokens to recreate the standard RLWS stream format as a custom stream format: <2><W7.><M><S><CR><LF>

<2> Sends ASCII character 2, or STX. Sends the Polarity character. <W7.> Sends 7 weight digits, no leading zeros, with a floating decimal point as needed. Sends the Units. <M> Sends the Mode. <S> Sends the Status. <CR> Sends a Carriage Return. <LF> Sends a Line Feed.

9.6.6.2 Custom Stream Format Tokens

Format Token Defined By Description

<P[G | N | T]> STRM.POS#n

STRM.NEG#n

<U[P | S]> STRM.PRI#n

STRM.SEC#n

<M[G | N | T]> STRM.GROSS#n

STRM.NET#n STRM.TARE#n

<S> STRM.MOTION#n

STRM.RANGE#n STRM.OK#n STRM.INVALID#n STRM.ZERO#n

<UID> UID Unit ID number – specifies the unit identification number as an alphanumeric value up to 8 characters long <###> -- To send an ASCII character; ### is a number 0 to 255; for example: <2> sends the ASCII character 2, Start

XXXX -- To send literal characters; XXXX represents literal characters to include in the string by not including < >;

See descriptions below Bit fields. Comma-separated sequence of bit field specifiers; must be exactly 8-bits;

B0 -- Always 0 B1 -- Always 1 B2 Configuration =1 if even parity B3 Dynamic =1 if MODE=NET B4 Dynamic =1 if COZ B5 Dynamic =1 if standstill

Polarity – specifies positive or negative polarity for the current or specified (Gross/Net/Tare) weight on the source scale. Possible values are SPACE, NONE, + (for STR.POS#n) or – (for STR.NEG#n)

Units – specifies primary or secondary units for the current or specified weight on the source scale

Mode – specifies gross, net or tare weight for the current or specified weight on the source scale

Status for the source scale – default values and meanings for each status:

• STR.MOTION#n M In motion

• STR.RANGE#n O Out of range

• STR.OK#n <space> OK

• STR.INVALID#n I Invalid

• STR.ZERO#n Z COZ

of Text (STX) and the token <13> sends a Carriage Return

for example: SCALE<W7.><CR><LF> will stream “SCALE 1234 L” with a weight of 1234 pounds

minus sign ([–]) inverts the bit
