My project that I am trying to complete is to use a Starrett digital contact style indicator gauge to send data to a Omron CJ1G CPU-42H using an SCU21-V1 (version1.3) serial communications card using PMCR instruction. This is not the first time I have done this type of project, however it has been a while since I have done something similar but with a Mahr Federal indicator gauge. I have determined that the Starrett gauge which is connected to a Multiplexer that only 4 wires (Pwr, Gnd, CTS, TXD) are used to transfer data when mux/gauge is connected to a "windows PC" using Terminalv1.9b software to communicate. "Note-Gauge sends data continuously once data button on gauge is pressed". However, when I connect to the omron PLC SCU port#1 I have yet to see data from gauge to be displayed in the data memory associated with the PMCR instruction, however if I open CX-Protocol I can perfom a trace and see a chart consisting of what looks like receive of hex data. I do not understand trace or know how to use it as a tool. A little help here is needed. Also I need someone to help me confirm the cx-protocol macro that I wrote to see if it is correct in seeing data. Gage data seen in windows PC Terminalv1.9b software looks like: "040,  +0.6576, NRM, 01" which is in Full comma-delimited format (NNN, SRRRRRRRRR, SMMM, SCC<CR><LF>) NNN-Reading Number, RRRRRRRRR-GAGE READING, MMM-MODE(MIN, MAX, TIR, NRM), S-SPACE, CC-Channel Number . My cx-protocol macro for receiving gage data is: (W(1),3)+","+&(W(2),2)+"."+&~(W(3),4)+","+(W(5),3)+","+(W(6),2)+CR+LF . The gauge sends data using communication protocol parameters: 9600-Baud , Parity-None, Bits-8, Stop Bit-1. My current wiring from "Starrett gauge multiplexer to Omron SCU21 Port#1" is: #2(TXD) MUX to #3(REC) Omron SCU, #9(PWR 8.6vdc) MUX to #8(DTR) Omron SCU, #5(GND) MUX to #9(Common) Omron SCU, #7(CTS) MUX to #4(RTS) Omron SCU. Please also someone confirm my wiring here. Any help with this is very much appreciated.
