Integrating Cole Parmer - Measuring Device with Tulip, Connected via Ethernet

Hi Amit,

Thanks for sharing the model and manual links. From the TB-800-1000 documentation, it looks like the balance uses a serial command protocol that can also run over Ethernet as a virtual COM port or TCP stream. It doesn’t appear to support Modbus TCP natively.

To point you to the right setup, could you confirm a few details?

  • Will it connect to a PC running Tulip Player or a Tulip Edge Device (Edge IO or Edge MC)?

  • Is it using DHCP or a static IP, and on the same subnet as Tulip?

  • Do you just need to read weight data, or also send commands like tare or zero?

If it’s a simple readout, the Generic TCP or Serial (Player Only) driver should work depending on where it’s connected. Once you confirm the connection type and goal, I can outline the right driver and configuration steps.
