Interface Port
Purpose
The indicator is equipped with the
following data interfaces:
– Standard COM1 and COM2 interfaces
– optional: UniCOM universal data
interface (see “Accessories”).
Both interfaces can be configured in
the Setup program (see “Configuring
the Combics”) for different input/out-
put functions. For example, you can
connect a printer, Alibi memory, PC,
remote checkweighing display, or
second weighing platform to a COM
port, or configure the port for control
command input (e.g., for using a foot
switch). The optional UniCOM interface
can be used for Profibus-DP, RS-232,
RS-485 or RS-422 communication, or
as a voltage/current (analog) interface.
A bar code scanner or an external
rechargeable battery pack can be
connected to the female UniCOM port.
Features
– CISL3 indicator (IP44 protection):
Connect via a 25-contact D-Sub
female connector. If you wish to
connect a second device to an interface
port, a T-connector is required (see
“Accessories”).
– CIS3 indicator (IP67 protection):
Route the connecting cable from the
peripheral device to the indicator via
a cable gland.
! Warning When Using Pre-wired
RS-232 Connecting Cables
RS-232 cables purchased from other
manufacturers often have incorrect
pin assignments for use with Sartorius
weighing systems. To prevent malfunc-
tions and defects, be sure to check the
pin assignments against the chart in
this manual before connecting the
cable.
