Posted 29 May 2018 Hey all, im looking for some way to convert ASCII msg from rfid reader send through rs232 to CC-Link, I've found AJ65 from mitsu and some converter from Anybus, but I would like something much smaller... changing readers for some CC-link compatible is most likely out of question (unless reader will be cheaper than converter), because they are legacy HW with hundreds of them instaled Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 May 2018 (edited) So you are looking for a RS232 port on CC-Link right? https://www.cc-link.org/sch/c020?CL=1&prodId=PD10100418&menuSeqNo=2 Edited 29 May 2018 by Gambit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 May 2018 Thank you and yes, something like this, but I should have mentioned that we are company in central europe, so mitsu's AJ65 is proly better choice in need of spare parts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 May 2018 FX5UC + FX5-232-ADP Add a CC link card if you can't use CC-Link IE. Probably bigger than you'd hope but you can't always get what you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 May 2018 AJ65 is better solution imo https://www.cc-link.org/sch/c020?langSeqNo=2&CL=1&prodId=Prod191 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 May 2018 Probably. The FX route has advantages and disadvantages. Have you got hundreds to do or just one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 May 2018 hundreds are instaled on the factory floor... we are using them as loging device, on new projects we are replacing local FX3GEs with Rs with remote IOs, Those readers are some real burden :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 29 May 2018 I find AJ65 a pain to use and document so I tend to stick to an FX with CC-link slave. Everyone is happy working on an FX. It looks like that is not an option though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
