Hello,
I need to display the status of some sensor into the display. currently I use indicators which powered up with 24VDC. Please see attached the picture of these indicators.

Can I send 5 volt input to RS-232 port and via GUI indicate the status of sensor (On or OFF).
If I can, how should I interface the 5 volt input to RS-232????

Thanks for your help,
Farzad

Hi Farzad,

You can make use of MAX232 Drivers/Receivers to provide serial communication between the sensor and end user. You can also integrate it with MCUs for more efficient sensor indication management.

You can refer to some projects provided below.

Hope it helps.

Best,
Neil

Neil,
many thanks for suggestion. I used Galil PLC RIO47300. I connect 52 of my system signals to input of these PLC and via computer RS232 read the status of the signals(on or off).

The system works fine now.
Thanks again for your help,
Farzad
