and transmission protocols

BOBE-Industry-Electronic interfaces electrically adjust the ports on a range of measuring devices produced by different manufacturers and convert the various protocols to a single unified format.

Data formats

Each instrument manufacturer has his own idea of the most reasonable measured data transmission. The result is, unfortunately, a great variety in existing data formats and transmission protocols.

In many cases, even individual instruments by the same manufacturer greatly vary in the data transmission method.

An interface has the task to electrically adjust the instrument interfaces and to know the various protocols and convert them into a uni format. BOBE Industrie-Elektronik's interfaces distinguish four different instrument groups: Digimatic, OptoRS232, RS232 and Sylvac SY4 (old). The MultiRS232 (Multiport) group is combination of OptoRS232 and RS232.

Depending on the interface group, various transmission protocols are processed:

Digimatic

The following instruments can be connected to interfaces with the Digimatic interface, original cables of the measuring instrument manufactures:

  • All instruments with Digimatic interface (Mitutoyo, Marposs, PAV and Kröeplin) (instruments which are to be fed externally can only be processed by the C Box.)
  • Mahr Exd typs and Extramess 2000 inductive micrometer.

OptoRS232

The following instruments can be connected to interfaces with OptoRS232, original cable "SIMPLEX" of the measuring instrument manufactures:

  • Standard OptoRS232 instrument
  • Sylvac manual instrument
  • Helios manual instrument
  • Mahr manual instrument
  • Tesa Digico 10 clock
  • Various Bowers instruments
  • Various Preisser instruments
  • Various FMS instruments
  • TESA Hite level measuring instrument
  • Tesa DigitCal OptoRS232
  • Tesa digi-cal capa µ system
  • Tesa micromaster capa µ system
  • Tesa TTD20/60 (with OptoRS232 card)
  • Mahr 1085 clock
  • Mauser digital 6

MultiRS232 (Multistecker)

(use cable with the designation B00xx)
The following instruments can be connected to interfaces with Multi RS232 interface, the name of cable are "B0xxx":

  • Tesa Digit micrometer screw with TTL-RS232 interface
  • Tesa DigitCal caliper with TTL-RS232 interface
  • Tesa Digico 1/2 and Compac clock with TTL-RS232 interface
  • All instruments listed under OptoRS232 (original "SIMPLEX" cables can be used)
  • All instruments listed under RS232
