8.1 Serial Interface
2 additional serial interfaces ( for weighing board interfacing ) can be added to BX 6 in
addition to standard COM1. One of the outputs of optional serial interface card is RS232,
and the other one can be selected as RS232, RS485 or 20 mA ASCII CL. 012 parameter
should not be selected as 2 ( hardware handshake ), for programming the second
optional data output as RS232C. Up to 32 instruments can be connected with RS485
output.
The settings of interfaces is being made in Serial data 1 ( par 01- ) and Serial data 2
( par 02- ) parameter groups. The pin configuration of the optional D25 female serial
interface connector is given below.
