The RS232 Communication Error occurs when the AX Series balance cannot exchange data with a connected computer, printer, barcode scanner or laboratory software.
Possible Causes
1.) Incorrect baud rate.
2.) Wrong parity or stop bit settings.
3.) Loose or damaged RS232 cable.
4.) Incorrect COM port selection.
5.) External software configuration mismatch.
6.) Communication port damage.
Troubleshooting Procedure
1.) Verify the RS232 cable connection.
2.) Confirm baud rate settings on both devices.
3.) Verify parity, data bits and stop bits.
4.) Select the correct COM port.
5.) Restart both the balance and connected device.
6.) Perform a communication test.
7.) Replace the cable if necessary.
Prevention
1.) Use high-quality RS232 cables.
2.) Secure cable connections.
3.) Verify communication settings after configuration changes.
