[U2] Serial to Ethernet device from Mettler Scale to Unidata/Universe
Hello, Has anyone used a Serial to Ethernet Device between a Mettler Scale ( PS60 ) and their Unidata / Universe System? We are running Unidata on a Unix machine. What I would like to do is network a scale in our receiving department. The Serial to Ethernet device would be set up as a server. The Unidata Unix machine would connect via a socket to the Serial to Ethernet device, pass W* to the Mettler Scale ( give me the weight ), the scale would then pass back the weight through the Serial to Ethernet device. If someone has done this and can provide any feedback, that would be spectacular. And if you know of a serial to Ethernet device that works well, please let me know.

Re: [U2] Serial to Ethernet device from Mettler Scale to Unidata/Universe
I have not communicated with the type of device you are thinking of using but I would suggest that if there is no specific reason to connect to the scale via Ethernet you could hook it to your Unix box serially and read/write via the !ASYNC (aka !AMLC) subroutine.

Re: [U2] Serial to Ethernet device from Mettler Scale to Unidata/Universe
There are lots of reasons... How far is the device?We span an 11 floor set of buildings where the UV box is, plus 3 dozens other buildings across a radius of upwards of 100 miles. With serial the farther you go, the slower you have to set it. Or are you going to put in short hauls to get overt distance/speed limits? How about cabling costs? When they want to move the scale, you're going to pay to move the point to point cable again? Ethernet drops tend to be everywhere. The most that has to happen is an IP change. When it doesn't work, then what... cable itself? Connector? With a serial over ethernet, I instantly know if the device server is up and running. A potential problem is localized to at the device. Plus I get to use the included full hardware control cables - off the shelf not custom made. So I've got access to DTR, DSR, CTS, etc. signals. They're molded so I don't generally worry about them breaking. And if I ever suspected one was, I'd grab another and swap it out. Moving away from PtoP serial drops was one of the smartest moves we ever made. To the OP: Digi's are nice (use some for fax modems)... I'd also suggest Lantronix as an alternative. Specifically the UDS-1100 for single port or UDS-2100 for a 2 port. They run about $125 $175 respectively. They are rock solid. In a dozen years, I can could the failed devices on one hand.

Re: [U2] Serial to Ethernet device from Mettler Scale to Unidata/Universe
I concur. I have several pack/ship automation lines with PS90's running on the PS One serial servers set to server mode. I can only help with theory on the code since it's on D3. I wrote a live network scale input prompt that polls the scale for weight changes and displays the changes while waiting for a keystroke. I can only share pseudo code but I'll help where I can.

Re: [U2] Serial to Ethernet device from Mettler Scale toUnidata/Universe
No experience with a scale, but we've been using the Digi Portserver II 16 at 5 locations for around 10 years now. I buy them used on eBay. They cost almost nothing used (here's one for $36: http://www.ebay.com/itm/digi-portserver-II-16-network-port-server-withou t-power-cord-/160774286373?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item256ee4ec25 ) and last forever, with the exception of the external power supply. I don't think I've ever had the box itself go bad. Fortunately the engineers that designed the box had the good sense to make the power supply an external component. You can get a new power supply at CDW for around $100. We use the Portservers for dumb terminals, serial printing, and uploading data from portable Symbol barcode scanners. They're physically located next to the gateway routers and make use of the existing CAT5 wiring to get the serial signal to the local workstations. If you use the standard modular RJ45 to DB9 or DB25 ends on a CAT5 cable, and Xon/Xoff flow control, the wiring is as follows: DB9: pin 2 - red, pin 3 - green, pin 5 - yellow DB25: pin 2 - green, pin 3 - red, pin 7 yellow I always keep a couple of reference connectors in my pencil drawer in the event someone in one of the warehouses needs to make a new one. You'll need to install tty driver software on the server for any device aside from a dumb terminal (terminals can initiate a telnet session), and you can get the driver from Digi's site. -John -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of George Hammerle Sent: Friday, May 04, 2012 4:54 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Serial to Ethernet device from Mettler Scale toUnidata/Universe Hello, Has anyone used a Serial to Ethernet Device between a Mettler Scale ( PS60 ) and their Unidata / Universe System?
