( UCL-510 : http://www.gemssensors.com/Products/Level/Continuous-Transmitters/Ultrasonic/UCL-510 )

what I need is help in how can I drive this sensor with the compact field point I mean I need some wiring diagram do connect the sensor to the computer.

another questions:

If you install and run the software referenced on the data sheet for the UCL-510, it has a wiring diagram for a sample installation. It would be up to you to substitute the various alarm horns or the 4-20ma loop to your PLC inputs. It seems that the has a lot of programmable flexibility through the USB interface. The white and green (RX TX) wires are used for the programming. This thread may be better placed in the HOMEWORK area of the forum.
