Serial Communication S1 Controller To PR1 GRV-CSERI-4

[Craig_Robertson]

Is this the proper syntax for a communication handle where a S1 controller is the main controller that is talking to a groovEpic PR1 used as just a brain to bring in serial communication from a scale using the GRV-CSERI-4 Module?

I don’t think it is possible to use the CSERI module directly from another controller.

As a work around, enable Node-Red and install the node-red-contrib-serialport node and import the flow I have at this post:

RS232 and RS485 SERIAL ADAPTERS FOR RIO

I received the cable I ordered, it is a DTECH DT-5119 (The model # is on the package, but not on the device). It supports 4-wire RS-422 and 2-wire RS-485 capability. I’m only testing RS-485. Comes with a DSUB-9 to terminal block break out which is nice. Got it for under $17, so definitely on the cheap side. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076WVFXN8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Unfortunately, I could not test it in my RIO because the USB port is plugged up with conformal …

You will need to configure the TCP port and serial port in the flow and open the TCP port you pick on the firewall of the EPIC.

This will allow you to create a TCP connection from the S1 to the EPIC which will relay the communication to the serial port.
