Interface Port
Purpose
There are two interface ports available
with the Combics indicator:
– Standard COM1 data interface (built in)
– UniCOM universal interface (optional)
These two interfaces can be configured
in the Setup program (see “Settings”)
for different input/output functions,
such as connection to a printer, Alibi
memory, PC, checkweigher, second
weighing platform, or for control
command input (for example, using
a foot switch). The optional UniCOM
universal interface can be used for
RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422 communica-
tion, or as a voltage/current interface
for analog output. A bar code scanner
(Combics 2 only) or an external battery
pack can be conneced to the female
UniCOM port (on CIS1 and CIS2 models,
use the corresponding terminal screws).
Features
Built-in standard COM1 port and
optional UniCOM universal port:
– CISL1 and CISL2 indicators
(IP44 protection):
Connect via a 25-contact D-Sub female
connector.
If you wish to connect a second
peripheral device to the same interface
port, you will need to use a T-connector
(see “Accessories”).
– CIS1 and CIS2 indicators
(IP65/67 protection):
Route the connecting cable of the
peripheral device via a cable gland
into the indicator. Then connect the
free ends of the cable using the
terminal screws .
If you wish to connect a second
peripheral device to the same interface
port, use a separate cable gland to route
the connecting cable of this device into
the indicator and connect the free ends
of the cable using terminal screws.
! Warning When Using Pre-wired
RS-232 Connecting Cables:
The pin assignments in the RS-232
cables purchased from other manu-
facturers are often incompatible
with Sartorius scales. Check the pin
assignments against the chart before
connecting the cable, and disconnect
any lines that have a different assign-
ment. Failure to do so may damage
or even completely ruin your scale
and/or peripheral device.
