Waste Management Module – Serial Data Enhancements

We’ve introduced several improvements to the augmented argument resolver used in the Waste Management module to enhance flexibility, compatibility, and data handling when reading card IDs from serial data.

Key Enhancements

• Configurable Card ID Parsing
  The augmented argument resolver can now be configured to read a specific portion of the received serial data as the card ID.

  

• Serial Data Filtering
  Added new filters to allow accepting or rejecting incoming serial data based on:

  • First character
  • Last character
  • Data length

How It Works

To properly configure card ID extraction from serial data, follow these steps:

1. Serial Data Format
   Specify whether the incoming serial data is received in Hex or ASCII format.

2. Serial Data Minimum Length
   Define the minimum allowed length of the serial data so the system can reject incomplete or invalid inputs.

3. Serial Data Accepted Length
   Set the accepted data length to ignore serial data that is too short or too long.

4. Serial Data Starts With
   Configure the character or byte that indicates where the system should start collecting the container/card ID.

5. Serial Data Ends With
   Define the character or byte that marks the end of the container/card ID.

6. ID First Character Index
   Set the index of the first character/byte of the ID to align with the system’s counting logic.

7. ID Length
   Specify the length of the card ID so the system can correctly extract and validate the data.

Configuration Note

• To read the entire serial data as the card ID:
  • Set ID First Character Index to 1
  • Leave ID Length empty
