Hi all,
I have a Globalsat GPS receiver (NMEA 0183) which I have been told is capable of connecting to a PLC using RS232.
It has 4 cables:
+5VDC
0V
TX
RX
I have connected up to my RLC CSMSTRSX and configured the port as raw serial and as 4800/8/N/1. The TX of the GPS is connected to the RX of my RLC device.
However I only get junk coming in the string. I have been on the Globalsat forum and some people suggest connecting my 232 common to the 0V. Which I do not want to do.
Anyone have any ideas?
thanks
