Hi list

I need to read data from GEOFLO 2 flow computer (Smith meter) into a PLC (Modicon micro).

I assembled the RS-232 cable and set all parameters according to literature but the PLC fails to read data.

The GEOFLO has D-15 connector and the Modicon micro has RJ-45 connector

I'll highly appreciate any wiring scheme and other tip regarding such connection.


best regards

Check the wiring of your pin-outs on your RS-232 cable...and you might want to get the Black Box catalog and look for a nullmodem.
