Kern & Sohn IoT (Internet of Things)

Many of the Scales and Balances available from Kern & Sohn are Internet Ready. The IoT line includes a wide range of different typers of scales and balances. The following is a descriptipon of the interface.

Industry 4.0: Kern Universal Port The integrated KERN Universal Port (KUP) allows the connection of external KUP in- terface adapters such as RS-232, USB, Bluetooth, WiFi, Analogue, Ethernet etc. The outstanding advantage here is that the KUP interface adapters are simply plugged in, i.e. retrofitting interfaces is conveniently possible without opening the scale housing or complicated installation. The interface adapters enable convenient transmission of weighing data to networks, PCs, smartphones, tablets, laptops, printers etc. In addition, control commands and data inputs can also be sent to the scale via the connected devices. With the KERN KUP-13 extension box, up to three KUP interface adapters can be operated in parallel on the scale

KERN Communication Protocol (KCP)

The KCP permits searching and remote control of the balance using external control devices or computers. For a detailed description of KCP KCP Reference manual
