[B] Addressing Parameters for Block Tags |
B1 |
Address of a Slave on the network |
B2 |
Address of a Master on the network |
B3 |
Code of a function. For more information, please check the next table |
B4 |
Parameter of a function. For more information, please check the next table |
The B3 parameter indicates a function to request from a device. Each type of function requires a type of complement, which is specified in the B4 parameter. The available functions for Alpha devices are listed on the next table.

Reading and writing |
Checks and writes a Slave's cut level, only for 3104/7 models. When reading, returns a Slave's cut level. When writing, writes the value of Elements in the respective SetPoints. For example, for two SetPoints, Element 0 (zero) receives SetPoint1 and Element 1 (one) receives SetPoint2. For three SetPoints, Element 0 (zero) sends SetPoint1, Element 1 (one) sends SetPoint2, and Element 2 (two) sends SetPoint3. NOTE: The size of a Block Tag must never be greater than the number of SetPoints, both when reading and when writing |
6 |
Reading and writing |
Checks and writes the configuration of programmed SetPoints. For example, to read SetPoints, the answer is formed by Element 0 (zero) containing Lock1, Element 1 (one) containing Lock2, and Element N containing LockN + 1. When writing these SetPoints, the B4 parameter must be filled in with a value in the format XYZZ, in which X indicates a relay logic, Y indicates that recording must be performed in volatile memory (zero does not write to volatile memory and one writes to volatile memory), and ZZ indicates the hysteresis. The values to write are the values of Block Elements. In case of error, sends a signal error. NOTE: The size of a Block Tag must never be greater than the number of SetPoints, both when reading and when writing |
8 |
Read-only |
Requests weight and general status. Possible values for Elements are 0: Returns a display weight, 1: Returns the tare, 2: Returns an overload alarm, 3: Returns a saturation alarm, 4: Returns the detection of a weight movement, 5: Returns a local change of parameters via display or keyboard, 6: Passing through cutting level 0 (zero), 7: Passing through cutting level 1 (one), 8: Passing through cutting level 2 (two), and 9: Passing through cutting level 3 (three). NOTE: Except for display's and tare's weight, all other parameters assume values 0 (zero) or 1 (one), which indicate a device status |
11 |
Reading and writing |
Checks and writes a weight's range, only for 3107 models. When reading, possible values for Elements are 0: Returns a 4mA or 0mA weight, 1: Returns a 20mA weight, and 2: Returns 0 (zero) for net weight or 1 (one) for gross weight. When writing, the B4 parameter must be configured with value 0 (zero) for net weight or 1 (one) for gross weight. Possible values for Elements are 0: Sends a 4mA or 0mA weight, 1: Sends a 20mA weight, and 2: Sends 0 (zero) for net weight or 1 (one) for gross weight. In case of error, sends a signal error |
12 |
Read-only |
Returns accumulation values. Possible values for Elements are 0: Returns the accumulated value, and 1: Returns the last accumulated weight |
14 |
Read-only |
Returns accumulation data. Possible values for Elements are 0: Returns the accumulated total, 1: Returns the number of totals, and 2: Returns the average weight |
18 |
Reading and writing |
Checks and writes programmed SetPoints, only for 3108 models. When reading, possible values for Elements are 0: Receives SetPoint1, 1: Receives SetPoint2, and N: Receives SetPointN + 1. When writing, the B4 parameter must be configured to 0 (zero) to not write to volatile memory or to 1 (one) to write to volatile memory. Possible values for Elements are 0: Sends SetPoint1, 1: Sends SetPoint2, and N: Sends SetPointN + 1. NOTE: The size of a Block Tag must never be greater than the number of SetPoints, both when reading and when writing |
20 |
Reading and writing |
Checks and writes a flow range, only for 3108 models. When reading, possible values for Elements are 0: Receives a sample fee, 1: Receives a 4mA or 0mA flow, and 2: Receives a 20mA flow. When writing, possible values for Elements are 0: Sends a sample rate, 1: Sends a 4mA or 0mA flow, and 2: Sends a 20mA flow. NOTE: All data must be carefully filled in |
21 |
Read-only |
Flow and status requests, only for 3108 models. Possible values for Elements are 0: Returns a display flow, 1: Returns a flow measurement alarm, 2: Returns an overload alarm, 3: Returns a saturation alarm, 4: Returns a weight movement detection, 5: Returns a local change fo parameters via display or keyboard, 6: Passing through cutting level 0 (zero), 7: Passing through cutting level 1 (one), 8: Passing through cutting level 2 (two), and 9: Passing through cutting level 3 (three). NOTE: Except for display flow, all other parameters assume values 0 (zero) or 1 (one), which indicate a device status |
81 |
Reading and writing |
Checks and writes calibration parameters. When reading, possible values for Elements are 0: Returns the number of decimal places, 1: Returns the step number, 2: Returns the calibration weight, 3: Returns the maximum capacity, 4: Returns autozero, 5: Returns a digital filter, and 6: Returns the tare. When writing, possible values for Elements are 0: Writes the number of decimal places, 1: Writes the step number, 2: Writes the calibration weight, 3: Writes the maximum capacity, 4: Writes autozero, 5: Writes a digital filter, and 6: Writes the tare |
1000 |
Read-only |
Performs a reading according to N4 parameters described next, only for 3102 and 3105 models. Possible values for Elements are 0: Returns a display weight, 1: Returns a display tare, 2: Returns the saturation of a converter, 3: Returns an overhead, 4: Returns a weight movement, 5: Returns SetPoint1's lock, 6: Returns SetPoint2's lock, 7: Returns SetPoint3's lock, 8: Returns weighing from SetPoint1, 9: Returns weighing from SetPoint2, and 10: Returns weighing from SetPoint3. NOTE: The responses from all parameters, except for the N4 parameter equal to 0 (zero) and N4 equal to 1 (one), are unique |
