Serial (RS-232) Communication
This section describes how to communicate with a CubiScan 125 via a serial cable. Complete the
following steps to communicate using a serial connection.
1. Place the computer close to the CubiScan 125.
2. Route the RS-232 serial cable through an opening in the base so it cannot be crushed, bent, or
pulled loose. Make sure that the cable does not interfere with gate movement or the scale.
3. The CubiScan 125 control box is located just behind the touchscreen. Connect one end of the
serial cable to the computer, and the other end to the CubiScan 125 controller. Tighten the
screws (two on each connector) to secure the cable in place. If the computer’s serial port is not
a 9-pin port you may require an adapter (not supplied).
The computer should now be able to communicate with the CubiScan 125. For information on the
serial cable pin-outs, refer to
“Serial (RS-232-C) Cable Pin Assignments” on page 57
