RS232 Cable Problems
RS232 Cable Problems
(OP)
For people who are using RS232 for Data transfer
Please stick to pin configuration when attaching the cable. 90% of the time, LSK error or DR signal off error comes due to improper soldering or wrong pin configuration.
25 pin on machine side and 9 pin on PC side.
I've attached the pin configuration for reference.
If data transfer is not occurring(LSK error)
1. Settings might be a problem: Check the software settings, Baud Rate Stop Bits, etc. It should match the machine parameters
2. Rs232 cable might be a problem: Always stick to pin configuration and check the cable for continuity.
3. Port problem on the machine side or PC side.: This happens very rarely but cannot be ruled out.
Also try using a USB to RS232 converter for better reliability.
