SAP PCO Socket Connection VS Terminal (telnet).

[pablosilva80]

Hi All,

We're trying to process an scale (mettler toledo IND560) message using PCo notifications. How should I configure the subscription item / notification so that the received message is captured as using the Terminal?  Is there any documentation we should be aware of?

input: telnet 10.2.11.53 1701

output: 53 Read for user

There is the possibility to send authentication commands (user admin), as well as commands to get the data (read wt0101) without the need to customer specific logic in agent?

Many Thanks,

Pablo Silva

Hi Steve,

The scale (IND560) need to be with ePrint connection.

There was no problem setting the PCO.

Many thanks for the tips.

Hi Pablo,

What is the requirement to use a Telnet terminal interface to read the scale? It supports a variety of other methods of generating a weight message on demand, and the Socket Agent could receive the demand message as a notification.

Can you provide the exact model number of the scale?

Regards, Steve

No, telnet is just example.

All connections that do via sockets (pco or developed by me) returns the message:

53 Ready for user

Modem Scale:

All connections requesting credentials for access

Exemple: user admin

Thanks.

Hi Pablo,

I think you are using the default CICS mode of the scale.

There should be another manual available for the IND560 that describes  how to set the scale up for demand printing. once that is done, the scale will output a string with whatever is defined in the demand template, based on the demand printing triggers that you have defined, and PCo can receive that string directly. Depending on how you have formatted the template, you may be able to parse the string in a PCo Output expression and extract the values you need for PCo to send to the destination.

Hi Steve,

Read the document and found that not use SICS.

Hi Pablo,

Have you been able to receive a weight string yet?  It may depend on the template that you have selected, and the trigger that you use (button, stable weight, etc.)

Regards, Steve

I have not received any weight yet, so I get the message "53 Ready for user".
The trigger is fired in stabilizing the Score.

However PCO can not read the data without authenticating (I think). I am trying to contact the Support mettler toledo.

Thank you Steve.
