MT-SICS - Mettler Toledo

1 IntroductionTo enable you to integrate your Halogen Moisture Analyzer in your electronic data system ina simple manner and utilize their capabilities to the full, most Halogen Moisture Analyzerfunctions are available as appropriate commands via the data interface.Standardization of the commandsAll new METTLER TOLEDO balances and Halogen Moisture Analyzers support thestandardized command set “METTLER TOLEDO Standard Interface Command Set” (MT-SICS), which is divided into 4 levels, depending on the functionality of the equipment:• MT-SICS level 0 Command set for the simplest balance, e.g. weighing cell• MT-SICS level 1 Extension of the command set for standard balances, i.e. balanceswithout integrated applications• MT-SICS level 2 Extension of the command set family• MT-SICS level 3 Application-specific commands as independent command set,e.g. MT-SICS level 3 for Halogen Moisture Analyzers HR73, HG53and HB43A particular distinguishing feature of this concept is that the commands combined in MT-SICS level 0 and 1 are identical for all balances and instruments. Both the simplestweighing balance and a Halogen Moisture Analyzer recognize the commands of MT-SICSlevel 0.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 ofthe Halogen Moisture Analyzer via the interface:• request weighing results (raw data),• zero the balance,• identify MT-SICS implementation (version number),• identify the Halogen Moisture Analyzer (serial number),• reset the Halogen Moisture Analyzer,• control the display.6 METTLER TOLEDO MT-SICS HB43 Reference Manual
