Hello,
We have a Sartorius CP scale connected via RS232 to the PLC. All was working well but when the scale was replaced with a newer version (still of Sartorius CP series), the reading on the PLC has changed. A reading of zero grams is read as -2.016 g on the PLC. What could be the possible reason for this? The scale installed now is not a direct replacement of the old one since we couldn't find the old model. Could there be a possible issue on the pin connections of the RS232 cable? We've connected only three pins for both devices, Tx, Rx, and GND.
But when the old scale is put back, the reading is OK again.
Can someone please assist us?
Thank you & best regards,
