I have not communicated with the type of device you are thinking of
using but I would suggest that if there is no specific reason to connect
to the scale via Ethernet you could hook it to your Unix box serially
and read/write via the !ASYNC (aka !AMLC) subroutine. Ahh the joys of
serial communication.

Hello,
Has anyone used a "Serial to Ethernet" Device between a Mettler Scale ( PS60 ) and their Unidata / Universe System? We
are running Unidata on a Unix machine. What I would like to do is network a scale in our receiving department. The "Serial to
Ethernet" device would be set up as a server. The Unidata Unix machine would connect via a socket to the "Serial to
Ethernet" device, pass "W*" to the Mettler Scale ( "give me the weight" ), the scale would then pass back the
weight through the "Serial to Ethernet" device.
If someone has done this and can provide any feedback, that would be
spectacular. And if you know of a serial to Ethernet device that works well,
please let me know.
