I have an application, using a D2-260 CPU, where I need to read two weights coming from a dual-channel scale that transmits ASCII continually. Do I use an H2-SERIO?

H2-SERIO - SERIAL MODULE, 3 RS-232 PORTS, FOR USE WITH WINPLC & H2-EBC100
Is the information coming in on two separate serial lines? If so check out the F2-CP128 BASIC module.

Yes - the information will come in on two seperate serial lines. I am not familiar with the F2-CP128 but will check it out. Thanks!

Using the BASIC module you'll be able to listen to the two lines, receiving the ASCII, do the ASCII -> Numeric conversion and send the converted information directly into the CPU's memory. The BASIC programming is fairly easy.
