![]() ![]() Anything, anything than trying USB to serial. If your laptop has its serial cable occupied by a mouse or another device, get a PCMCIA card an run a new com port from that. Get a serial cable and bag the USB to serial conversion. There is not one credible individual that I know of that views how Win2k and upwards for MS operating systems that does not know that because of ACPI compliance all com ports are scanned at startup (one of the first things that ntdetect does), that exceptions can be made in special cirucmstances as boot.ini parameters, and that using USB devices, (not even supported at all in the original release of Win95, Win98, Win98SE, NT (not even today), Win2k, or XP) is an unproductive way to try and do something as immediate as workstation to machine tool serial communications and control. Tell your boss to get a new machine tech. ![]() Get a parallel connector (on your laptop) to parallel connector (on your machine) cable. I have a hard time believing that there is not some way to make it work, but I can't seem to figure it out. that my boss talked to said that windows XP just will not work for sending to machines. I think the general software is called terminal software like TeraTerm, Puttty and others like it? Trying to watch videos on this and not finding what I'm looking for in these videos."Also a machine tech. What software is recommended for doing this? So I want to connect my PLC to my computer via USB / RS-485 serial converter and use software to see what my PLC is sending. ![]() Instead of wasting time in front of a customer I want to make sure that I'm sending the string structured as the manual states. Usually I put the two devices that I need to connect next to each other, make the physical connection, check parameters, read the manual for how the device(s) want the communication structured and I'm usually able to get them talking within reasonable time.īut I am being thrown a curve ball this coming Thursday, need to be able to send an ASCII string to a device while on a customer location for demo purposes.
