Supported connections and devices

Scale Monitor supports following connections with a scale:

1. USB, RS-232 or RS-485 – limited to Windows devices
2. Bluetooth LE – limited to Android and Windows devices
3. CloudScaleLink – supports all devices

We often get question when do we need CloudScaleLink module?

CloudScaleLink is essential when you want Ethernet or WiFi connection with scale or you need to connect with your scale from any device.

You need CloudScaleLink module in the following scenarios:

1. Ethernet/WiFi Connectivity:
   • If you want to connect your scale over Ethernet or WiFi rather than using a USB, RS-232, or Bluetooth connection. Unfortunatly, if scale already has Ethernet/WIFI interface you can not use it due to the lack of support for cloud protocol MQTT which is required for Scale Monitor connection.
2. Any device access:
   • CloudScaleLink enables remote access to your scale, allowing you to monitor and manage it via web browser no matter which operating system you are using. When you connect scale via CloudScaleLink module you can access this scale from Android devices, Mac and iOS devices, Windows devices, Linux/Unix even from smart TV that has web browsers.
3. Integration with Cloud Services:
   • If you require integration with cloud-based applications and services for data logging, analysis, or reporting. CloudScaleLink facilitates seamless communication between your scale and cloud platforms such as Scale Monitor, enabling advanced data management and analytics capabilities.
4. Enhanced Monitoring and Control:
   • For applications that demand real-time monitoring and control of scales across a network. CloudScaleLink provides robust connectivity options that support sophisticated monitoring solutions with integrated diagnostic and debbuging tools.
