This might sound silly but where are you setting your baud, flow control, data/stop bits, and parity settings at? If this is only being set in Cimco software do you need to echo the same settings in device manager. As soon as I disconnect the terminal session, the CNC machine errors. al., which ties up the port so that Cimco cannot send the file. The machine throws the same error unless I'm connected to the COM port through PuTTY et.

What gives?ĮDIT: To rule out the onboard serial port, I also tried a Keyspan USA-19HS adapter.

I have confirmed via multimeter that on both the Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines that the DSR 12V signal is being sent constantly.

I also know the settings are correct because they match what the Win7 PC has:įlow control: XON/XOFF (software control) This alarm indicates that the Data Set Ready signal is off." I know the pinout is correct because I'm using the same cable with both the Win7 and Win10 machines (both are Precision T3600). If the remote computer is not ready, the CNC machine will error with "086 I/O DEVICE INTERFACE" which Google tells me " Before you can send a file, you have to "prep" the CNC machine, which somehow lets the CNC machine know that the remote computer is ready to send the file. The software that sends the NC files is called Cimco Edit. Run the CNC for use as a CMM or Computer Measuring Machine.Ī little known fact is that people should only give information, if they know what they are talking about.I have a CNC machine (controlled by a FANUC Series 16-W controller, if that helps) that we send NC files through RS-232 from a computer.

It's about being able to run the CNC machine with the laptop and How to wire the RS-232 to the LAN 45rj - nine pin connector on the laptop and what software to use to make it happen.Īlso I wish to have the ability to use a Microsoft sidewinder joy stick that uses another connection a """" A Game Port """"" another failed attempt to make things easier. It is not about keeping the past alive or saying whitch standard is better or worse than another. I am also with a laptop that I want to talk to a CNC machine by way of rs-232 (25 Pin serial) and the LAN connection on the laptop. You may just consider buying the product and just shairing back to this thread the way they comuncate and the wireing of the plug or at least the fact that the conversion from serial to lan a valid solution. the plug combines both the software to connect and the plug with samples.Īlthough I would like to have this setup, I am trying to make it myself rather than buying it. The way this manufacturer communicates with the product is by the rs-232 port on the camera and the Ethernet connection. You mite get some ideas from reading this manual. It's only been in the last couple of years, but I've finally seen a number of these devices offered with USB ports instead of serial RS232 in some cases, RS-232 versions have been discontinued. Maybe it's just "ain't broken, don't fix it" or simple inertia. Maybe USB components are more expensive, maybe it's the need to interface with legacy devices that would be expensive to redesign maybe it's what the engineers know. At least one manufacturer of accessibility devices (a braille embosser) has stated to us that they don't recommend RS232-to-USB adapters because they have had (unspecified) problems with them. RS232-to-USB consumer adapted will sometimes work, sometimes not. Until not too long ago, all of the above were still mainly RS232 devices, and a common headache has been finding a way to plug those in a modern laptop. My most direct experience comes from amateur astronomy and accessibility computer accessories for the visually-impaired. RS-232 has been the preferred interface for custom-build devices, scientific instruments, and low-production devices far long after everybody started using USB for mice and high volume consumer devices. Not so easy: there is a lot more than mice and printers out there. Oh, yes that might seem like a ludicrously obvious statement - "duh! nobody's been using Serial for a decade now". You should seriously consider USB as an interface for your project. The USB port has been starting to take over the duties of RS-232 for the last few years.
