Parity Error sending file to Mitsubishi Meldas control

[Brad St.]

We have just had to replace a pc here that was DNC'ing to our Mit's via RS232 just fine. It had two integrated serial ports but our newer HP needed to have a pci card with 2 ports added to do the job.

 

I've read up and searched on the subject here as well as I could but we are either missing something or the card is crap.

 

With the FIFO buffers full open on the interrupt and receiver options full open we get the longest response time out of the file send before the machine gives a parity error.

 

With the FIFO turned off the file send doesn't seem to register the machines trigger for the file send.

Any Ideas anyone, please keep in mind all file settings were copied over from the previous pc that worked. The only thing that has changed ideally is the port.

Ok, I'll give credit where it's due...

 

Thanks Roger Peterson for listening again =)

 

Looks like we have a cheap serial card here and our great MC Rep has come through again.

 

So Roger, is that worth a beer or maybe two?
