General Measure Technology Co. Ltd. (China) - Reliable communication between weighing instruments and control systems is essential in modern industrial environments. To support system integrators and automation engineers, a new tutorial is available explaining how to connect the General Measure GMT-X4 weighing controller with Modbus Poll using the Modbus TCP/IP protocol.

The GMT-X4 is designed for flexible industrial integration and supports a wide range of communication interfaces, including serial communication, CAN, Ethernet-based Modbus TCP/IP, and multiple industrial fieldbus protocols such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP and CC-Link IE. This versatility makes it suitable for both standalone applications and complex automation systems.

The published tutorial focuses on Ethernet communication via Modbus TCP/IP and demonstrates how to configure the GMT-X4 network parameters and establish data exchange with Modbus Poll software. It also shows how to verify correct communication by monitoring network indicators and comparing weight values between the instrument and the PC software.

Rather than serving as a quick reference, the guide provides a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough accompanied by a demonstration video, making it especially useful for commissioning, testing and troubleshooting during system setup.

For engineers and technicians who need practical guidance on integrating the GMT-X4 into a Modbus TCP/IP network, the complete tutorial and video are available on General Measure website, where all configuration steps are explained in full detail.
