A&D BM-252 - 16 Standard Input and Output Interface; RS-232 C Interface

84 BM series
16. Standard Input and Output Interface
16.1. RS-232C Interface
The balance is a DCE device. Connect the balance to a personal computer (DTE) using a straight
through cable.
Transmission system : EIA RS-232C
Transmission form : Asynchronous, bi-directional, half duplex
Transmission rate : 10 times/second or 5 times/second (same as data refresh rate)
Data format : Baud rate : 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 bps
Data bits : 7 or 8 bits
Parity : Even, Odd (Data bits 7 bits)
None (Data bits 8 bits)
Stop bit : 1 bit
Code : ASCII
D-Sub 9 pin assignments
Pin No. Signal name Direction Description
1 - - No connection
2 TXD Output Transmit data
3 RXD Input Receive data
4 - - No connection
5 SG - Signal ground
6 DSR Output Data set ready
7 RTS Input Request to send
8 CTS Output Clear to send
9 - - No connection
Signal names of the balance side are the same as the DTE side with TXD and RXD reversed.
