Hello,
I am currently working on a project using a P1AM PLC, an arduino based PLC, to communicate with a Keyence 452F camera controller. I would like the controller to relay measurements to PLC and would like the P1AM-100 PLC to send inputs when the camera system should trigger. On the Keyence controller, it can use a RS-232C to communicate with a PLC. Is this possible to do so? If so, how would one tackle this form of communication with arduino code?
This https://www.sparkfun.com/products/449 might be a good option - then just send serial signals that are converted to 12v through it and you should be good to go
Would you happen to know any guides in how to code this?
I am currently trying to find the correct wire configuration from the Keyence to the P1AM system. I have the pin configuration for all the components; the Keyence, the potential cable I will purchase, the RS232 Shifter, and the P1AM. Can someone view screenshot below to confirm if all the proper communication channels are properly linked. I am not confident in how the the RS232 shifter is connected to the TX and RX port. Also I am not too confident if the RSOut is supposed to be connected to the input or output from keyence. Same thing applies for the RSIn.
