SAP-Scales weighting Interface (RS232)

[joseluis_alvarezalvarez]

Dear experts,

once a production declaration is performed in MIGO trx, we would need to read the weight from the scales through an interface. For that purpose we will be using a custom tab in MIGO with a custom button to trigger the weight reading from the scale, that value will be captured in a custom field into the same custom tab as well.

The scales are connected to intranet through RS232.

I am not really familiarized with this kind of interfaces, is there any way to read that information and write it in the MIGO field using the mentioned custom button and without any third party software? (TCP socket connections or something similar?). Do you know which would be the steps for that implementation?

Thanks a million,

kind regards,

Jose

Hi Anil,

thanks a million by your answer! it is really useful!!

just one question please, it is mandatory to have the the PC and the weightscale physically connected by cable?

I mean, right now the scale information is being sent by RS232 to the PCs through our intranet and the PCs in that intranet are capturing the data when necessary. Is it possible to go through the same approach without that physical cable connection? (but connected through the intranet).

We would like to continue using a TCP connection (reading the information from an IP address and a port) as working right now.

Thanks a lot!

kind regards,

Jose.
