Interfaces
PW20i load cells are delivered as required with an RS-232, RS-485,
CANopen or DeviceNet interface. The ground reference for all interface
signals is based on the power supply ground of the PW20i load cell (GND1).

The RS-232 interface is suitable for a point to point connection (one PW20i
load cell to one interface). Only the signals RxD (Receive Data), TxD
(Transmit Data) and GND1 are required.
For communication with an external device, the TxD line must be connected
to the RxD of the PW20i and vice versa.
