Product Data Memory Data Interface
Data Interface
Purpose
Signum -3-Ex scales have an intrinsically safe data interface which can be connected to a computer (or any other
peripheral device) using a barrier (e�g� YDI05-Z)� You can use a computer to change, start and/or monitor functions
of weighing instruments and application programs� The data interface is also used for the control lines of the
“Checkweighing” application program�
! Warning when using pre-wired connecting cables:
Cables purchased from other manufacturers often have pin assignments that are not permissible for use with Minebea
Intec devices� Be sure to check the pin assignments against the chart in this manual before connecting the cable, and
disconnect any lines identified differently from those specified by Minebea Intec� Failure to do so may cause malfunction,
damage or even completely ruin your weighing system and/or peripheral device(s)�
