RAVAS Weighing Server

The RAVAS Weighing Server runs on a Windows computer in the same network as the RAVAS scales. It finds the scales, stays connected to them and collects their weights, parameters and logs, and indicators in RDC mode push their weights to it. Its web interface and REST API give access to all scales in one place, and it takes over from the RAVAS Data Collector (RDC) and the RAVAS Integration Server (RIS).

• Installation: requirements, installing, updating and uninstalling
• Getting started: the license, accounts, the web interface and the settings
• Services and features: what the server does in the background
• API: the REST API and the legacy routes
• Maintenance and troubleshooting: logs, backups and common problems

Terms

• Indicator: the RAVAS weighing electronics with a display, which the server talks to over the network.
• Scale: a weighing instrument with its indicator. The API and parts of the web interface call it a device.
• ASCII and RedBox: the two protocols the server talks to scales with. ASCII is used by RAVAS indicators with an xPico Wi-Fi module, RedBox by RAVAS RedBox devices.
• Managed: a scale the server keeps connected at all times.
