Ok so I finally got some data from the Scanner into the PC. Here are the answers to the left over questions:

1: I have the advanced version, which doesn't support RS422 output. I just assumed that thanks to me misreading the manual.

2: The data can be read through the programming interface indeed, there's at least an tutorial on the standard version which also applies to the advanced version: www.sharprobotica.com/2010/11/serial-communications-with-sick-s300-standard/comment-page-1/

It is able to do the same as the cob_sick_s300 just for the programming interface per rs232

Ok so I finally got some data from the Scanner into the PC. Here are the answers to the left over questions:

1: I have the advanced version, which doesn't support RS422 output. output for any SICK S300 which was produced earlier than 2012. I just assumed that thanks to me misreading the manual.not knowing that there was a change, since 2012 all S300 versions support RS422.
