I'm trying to set up a serial connection between an APX scale display (4 channel display) and BRX. The APX Display has 3 comm connections, 1 & 2 are for RS232 and comm 3 is for RS422/485. Comm 3 has a 5 pin connector, with terminals marked as RxA,RxB,TxA,TxB and Grnd. What is the correct way to connect this to the BRX onboard serial 3 pin connectors? I have tried many different combinations but none have worked.
Concerning the rs232 comm ports, I have used a streamin instruction to read the scale display values, which works well. But it only streams in 1 channel value, and I need to read all 4 channels. Can rs232 be used to poll the APX for all the values at once with a MRX instructrion? Does rs232 also use a slave id? (I can't find any config settings on the APX for master/slave or for id/address).
