1 IntroductionIn weight measurements the demands on the readability and maximum capacity of weigh modules and balances from less than one microgram up to several hundred tons. To meet these and other requirements, METTLER TOLEDO offers an extensive range of weigh modules and balances. Many of the weigh modules/balancesand scales used have to be capable of integration in a complex computer or data acquisition system. Toenable you to integrate weigh modules and balances in your system in a simple manner and utilize their capabilities to the full, most weigh modules and balance functions are also available as appropriate commands viathe data interface.

Standardization of the commandsAll new METTLER TOLEDO weigh modules and balances launched on the market support the standardizedcommand set "METTLER TOLEDO Standard Interface Command Set" (MT-SICS), which is divided into 4 levels,depending on the functionality of the weigh modules/balances:

MT-SICS level 0: Basic Command set, e.g. weighing cell. MT-SICS level 1: Elementary command set, i.e. weigh modules or balances without integrated

applications. MT-SICS level 2: Extended command set specific for a weigh modules or balance family. MT-SICS level 3: Application-specific command set, e.g. MT-SICS for piece counting or per

cent weighing.

A particular distinguishing feature of this concept is that the commands combined in MTSICS level 0 and 1 areidentical for all weigh modules and balances. Both the simplest weighing balance and a fully expanded weighing work station recognize the commands of MT-SICS level 0 and 1.

What do the commands of MT-SICS level 0 and 1 offer?You can use the commands of MT-SICS level 0 and 1 to perform the following operations via the interface:

● Request weighing results.● Tare and preset the tare weight.● Zero the balance.● Identify MT-SICS implementation.● Identify the weigh module orbalance.● Cancel Commands.● Control the display.● Control the keys for operation of the balance.

The commands of MT-SICS level 2 and 3You can naturally use the data interface to exploit all functions available with your current weigh module/balance or application. These additional functions are collected in the commands of MTSICS level 2 and 3. Whencreating your software application, please note that whereas the commands of MTSICS level 2 have been specially tailored to your weigh module/balance family, the commands of MTSICS level 3 apply to your weighingapplication and can not be supported by every METTLER TOLEDO weigh module/balance. In the enclosure withthis manual, you can see what commands are supported by your weigh module/balance and application.

Version number of the MT-SICS Each level of the MT-SICS has its own version number which can be requested with the command I1 (page 28)from level 0.

You can use the command I1 (page 28) via the interface to request the MT-SICS level and MT-SICS versionsimplemented on your weigh module/balance.Please make sure that the versions implemented on your weigh module/balance agree with those listed above.

8 Introduction

Additional documentation on data interface Settings of the interface such as baud rate, number of data bits, parity, handshake protocols and connector pinassignment are described in the operating instructions of the optional interface and the peripheral instrument orcable in question.

Data Exchange with the Weigh Module/BalanceEach command received by the balance via the data interface is acknowledged by a response of the weighmodule, balance to the transmitter.Commands and balance responses are data strings with a fixed format, and will be described in detail in thecommands.

The existing commands that are available can be called up using the I0 (page 27) command. Please take notethat some of the commands work only via the built-in RS232 interface.

1.1 Command FormatsCommands sent to the weigh module/balance comprise one or more characters of the ASCII character set.Here, the following must be noted:

Enter commands only in uppercase. Nevertheless, units have to be capitalized properly.V The possible parameters of the command must be separated from one another and from the

command name by a space (ASCII 32 dec.)."text" The possible input for "text" is a sequence of characters (8-bit ASCII character set from 32 dec.

to 255 dec.)...CR LF Each command must be closed by CR LF (ASCII 13 dec., 10 dec.).

The characters CR LF, which can be inputted using the Enter or Return key of most entry keypads, are not listed in this description every time, but it is essential they be included for communication with the weigh module/balance.

1.1.1 Language Conventions

Throughout this manual, the following conventions are used for command and response syntax:

< > Triangle brackets indicate that you must specify a value for the enclosed parameter. The brackets are not sent with the command string.

[ ] Square brackets indicate that the enclosed expression is optional and can be omitted. Thebrackets are not sent with the command string.

a..b Intervals or ranges are represented using the "dot-dot" notation indicating the set of numbersfrom a to b including a and b.

Ü Commands sent to the weigh module/balance.Û Response of the weigh module/balance.

Example Command to balance which writes Hello into the balance display:

Ü DV"Hello" The quotation marks " " must be inserted in the entryÛ DVA Command executed successfully

The command terminator CR LF is not shown.

1.1.2 Response Formats

All responses sent by the weigh module/balance to the transmitter to acknowledge the received command haveone of the following formats:

● Response with weight value ● Response without weight value ● Error message

1.1.2.1 Format of Responses with Weight Value

1.1.4 Tips for Programmer

NoteThis reference manual covers the MT-SICS commands for weigh modules/balances. As the weigh modules/balances can differ based on model and software version, not all the MT-SICS level 2 and 3 commands areusable on every model. We therefore recommend using the I0 (page 27) command to get an overview of allcommands that are supported by a particular balance.

Planning the use of MT-SICS CommandsInvestigations of various applications have shown that the vast majority of all system solutions can be handledwith the commands of MT-SICS level 0 and 1. This means for you: if you restrict yourself to the commands ofMT-SICS level 0 and 1, you can expand your system with additional weigh modules, balances from METTLERTOLEDO without having to change your application programs.

Command and ResponseYou can improve the dependability of your application software by having your program evaluate the responseof the weigh module/balance to a command. The response is the acknowledgement that the weigh module/balance has received the command.

CancelTo be able to start from a determined state, when establishing the communication between weigh module/balance and system, you should send a cancel command see @ (page 15) to the weigh module/balance. Whenthe balance or system is switched on or off, faulty characters can be received or sent.

Parameter Values After Switching the Weigh Module/Balance On/Off The commands of the standard command are saved on the permanent memory of theweigh module/balance.This means that all values changed via the interface are saved when the weigh module/balance is switched off.

Several Commands in SuccessionIf several commands are sent in succession without waiting for the corresponding responses, it is possible thatthe weigh module/balance confuses the sequence of command processing or ignores entire commands.

METTLER TOLEDO DeltaRange Balances and Weigh ModulesIf the fine range of DeltaRange balances has been exceeded at the time of transmission, the weigh module/balance sends a weight value as balance response in which the tenth character is a space.

Update Rate and TimeoutThe update rate for repeated commands and the duration of the timeout (time-limit function) depend on theweigh module/balance type; see technical data of the weigh module/balance in question.

Carriage Return, Line FeedDepending on the platform, CR LF is not just a "new line" (Java: "newLine()" or C/C++ "\n"):

Platform ‘New Line’DOS/Windows CR LFMacintosh CRUnix LF

Nevertheless, all commands have to be closed by a CR LF (dec: 13, 10; hex: 0D, 0A).

Quotation Marks " "Quotation marks included in the command must always be entered. If a quotation mark is located within thestring, it may be escaped by a backslash (\):

Ü DV"place 4\"filter!"

Û DVA Balance display: place 4" filter!

13Introduction

14 Introduction

Weight Unit of Weight Value – Unit 1It is always essential to consider the weight unit that is to be used to display weighing results. Depending onwhere the results are output, the balances offer the possibility of selecting a particular unit see M21(page 67). This enables the displayed unit and info unit to be shown on the terminal. Unit 1 is used to outputthe weighing results via an interface (host) on the basis of MT-SICS commands. The weight values and thedisplayed unit can only be output by means of the SU commands.

Digit [d]A digit refers to the smallest numerical increment a balance can display – this is also referred to as the/balance’s readability. E.g. a MS205 has five decimal places; its digit is 0.01 mg. The digit is sometimes usedas a generic unit.

USB interface of the balanceIf the Microsoft Windows® USB driver is used

Please make sure the balance will not be switched off, is not disconnected from the power and the USB cable isnot disconnected during an established USB connection. Otherwise the connection is broken and can not bereestablished easily. To reestablish the connection you need to restart the PC or deactivate and reactivate theconnection using the device manager.

Binary Coded Multiple SelectionsSome parameters that allow multiple selections are binary coded: Each possible selection is represented by onebit, the corresponding parameter equals to the decimal interpretation.

Responses may easily be interpreted by converting the decimal number to binary again.

2 Commands and Responses

@ – Cancel

Description@ can be used to achieve the same effect as disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply, which emptiesthe volatile memories. The purpose of this command is to initiate a command sequence.

SyntaxCommand@ Resets the weigh module/balance to the condition

found after switching on, but without a zero settingbeing performed.

ResponseI4VAV"<SNR>" Serial number is emitted; the weigh module/balance is

ready for operation.

Comments● All commands awaiting responses are cancelled.● Key control is set to the default setting KV1.● The tare memory is not reset to zero.● The cancel command is always executed.● If the balance is on standby, it is switched on.● The emitted serial number corresponds to the serial number of the terminal (if one is present), see I4

(page 31).

ExampleÜ @ CancelÛ I4VAV"B021002593" Weigh module or balance is "reset", its serial number

is B021002593

15Commands and Responses


C0 – Query/Set Adjustment Settings

DescriptionC0 can be used to define the type of adjustment. Other commands are required to actually trigger the adjustment procedure and define the adjusted weights.

SyntaxCommandsC0 Query of the current adjustment setting.C0V<Mode>V<Weight> Set the adjustment setting.

ResponsesC0VAV<Mode>V<Weight>V"<Value>V<Unit>"

Weight value and unit specify the value of the weightfor an external calibration requested from the user viathe display, see C1 (page 18). The unit correspondsto the factory setting of unit 1 (page 14), e.g. gram(g) with standard balances or carat (ct) with caratbalances respectively. With internal adjustment, neither weight value nor unit appears.

C0VI Command understood but currently not executable(balance is currently executing another command,e.g. taring).

C0VA Adjustment setting set successfully.C0VL Command understood but not executable (incorrect

parameter; certified version of the balance).


0 Mode = ManualThe adjustment can only be triggered manually.A change in the ambient conditions has no influenceon the initiation of the calibration procedure.

1 Mode = Auto, status display AutoCal or Cal not activatedWhen a considerable change in the ambient conditions is determined, the status display AutoCal or Calwill be activated; this means the balance will ask foradjustment.

<Mode> Integer

2 Mode = Auto, status display "AutoCal" or "Cal" flashesThe sensors built into the balance have determined aconsiderable change in the ambient conditions. Thebalance requests an adjustment or at least a test, seeTST (page 131) x commands.

0 Internal weight<Weight> Integer1 External weight

<Value> Float Weight values specify the value of the weight for anexternal calibration requested from the user via thedisplay or interface, see C1 (page 18).

<Unit> String The unit corresponds to the factory setting of unit 1(page 14), e.g. gram (g).

Comments● Setting <Mode> = 1 and <Weight> = 0 corresponds to the menu setting "ProFACT" / "FACT" under

"Adjust/Test". <Mode> = 2 can not be set.

● The value of the external weight can be changed in the menu of the balance under "Adjust/Test ", see Operating Instructions or with M19 (page 65).

● Use C1 (page 18) to start an adjustment defined with C0.● C2 (page 19) is independent of C0.● C0 must be reset manually; @ (page 15) has no effect.

ExamplesÜ C0 Query of the current status and setting of the adjust

mentÛ C0VAV2V1V"VVV100.000Vg" Current setting of mode is "Auto". The ambient condi

tions of the balance have changed so much that thebalance requests an adjustment (<Mode> = 2) withthe external weight (<Weight> = 1). The adjustmentis initiated with the command C1 (page 18) andrequires a weight of 100.000 g

3 What if...?Tips from actual practice if the communication between the system (computer, PLC) and the balance is notworking.

Establishing the communication Switch the weigh module/balance off / on.

The balance must now send identification string I4 (page 31), e.g. I4VAV"0123456789".

If this is not the case, check the following points.

Connection For RS232 communication, at least three connecting lines are needed:

● Data line from the weigh module/balance (TxD signal). ● Data line to the weigh module/balance (RxD signal). ● Signal ground line (GNDINT).

Make sure that all these connections are in order. Check the connector pin assignment of the connectioncables.

Interface parameters For the transmission to function properly, the settings of the following parameters must match at both the computer and the balance:

● Baud rate (send/receive rate) ● Number of data bits ● Parity bit

Check the settings at both devices.

Handshake For control of the transmission, in part separate connection lines are used (CTS/DTR). If these lines are missingor wrongly connected, the computer or balance can not send or receive data.

Check whether the weigh module/balance is prevented from transmitting by handshake lines (CTS or DTR). Setthe parameter "protocol" for the weigh module/balance and the peripheral device to "No Handshake" or "none".The handshake lines now have no influence on the communication.

Characters are not displayed correctlyIn order to display ASCII characters >127 dec., ensure that 8-bit communication is taking place.
