Hello Everyone,
I am trying to connect a A&D EK-6100i Weigher to my Micro 800 PLC and read the current weight. For now I have managed to connect the weigher to my pc through serial and read weight.
I have set up the weigher settings as
I changed the PLC serial port settings as well.
But I have been looking and looking. I cant figure out how to read ASCII character that is send from the weigher and store it into a PLC variable. I tried using ARL instruction block but couldn't configure it properly.
Would anyone be able to help?
