I am trying to read the weight from a Rice Lakes 720i scale using a TCP driver. The message is reading strange data. Has anybody done this before?
Show how the device/device connection is configured and show an example of the data you are getting and the data that you expect to receive.
The device is connected through a TCP driver. It is reading an array of ASCII characters, but it varies in length between 17 and 19 bytes. I believe the weight is the 3 spaces and 2 0s between the letters.
Show the TCP driver configuration for this connection. Based on the first image it looks like the driver is not capturing the end of a message correctly, which is likely a config error.
If the length varies, you must configure a delimiter in both your scale and Ignition.

Do as pturmel said above, configure a delimiter.
Check to see if the scale is using a delimiter by default, and add that to the Message Delimiter field in the driver config, and change it to be character based for the delimiter type.
Is this scale going through a serial to ethernet converter or is it using an onboard ethernet connection?
I got the delimiter to work, thank you guys.
