5.2 Connecting the FLOWSIC600 to a PC or laptop
5.2.1 Connecting the FLOWSIC600 via RS485 / RS232 cable
The FLOWSIC600 serial interface conforms with the RS485 standard. An RS485 /RS232
cable and a 1:1 interface cable (pin 2 – pin 2 and pin 3 – pin 3) are required for data
transfer to PC or laptop (see
Figure 54). Because MEPAFLOW600 CBM, the operation and
diagnosis software for the FLOWSIC600, does not support RTS/CTS data transfer, the
adapter must be able to distinguish between transmission and reception mode
automatically. We, therefore, recommend the use of a serial interface set available from
SICK.

(also see
pg. 246, Figure 110)
Interface sets for the connection of the FLOWSIC600 with a PC via serial or
USB-interface can be ordered from SICK. See
pg. 124, Table 17.
*Possible terminals for the RS485 connection are:
● 33 (+) and 34 (-)
● 81 (+) and 82 (-)
If necessary, the RS485 ports can be assigned to a specific bus address (Reg.
#5020 "DeviceBusaddress"). The service port always has the bus address "1".
