Connect NS5 To a Load Cell Controller

3 posts in this topic

I have a NS5 connected via Com Port 1 to a CJ1M One of our Compactors has a Load Cell Controller that measures the weight of bins of metal Does anyone know of it is possible to send data from the Controller to the NS5 using Com Port 2. It would be used to display the weight as displayed on the Controller Many Thanks

Probably is the good idea to obtain one CJ1W-SCU41 module, it has one RS232 and one RS485. I suppose this Load Cell Controller has RS485? then you use cx-protocol to make a communication between cj1 and load cell controller. I suppose it is possible to use send and recieve comands from ladder and use built in com port in CJ1 to read data from load cell controller (or it is already used for comm with NS5? then SCU41is a must).

Many Thanks Tashinz, The SCU41 route sounds more plausible. The controller is 12 years old so just has RS232 but SCU will handle. Kind Regards
