Fryer Lathe RS-232 Hook up

[tonypitzer1@abxair]

Does anyone have a Fryer Lathe with a touch 2000 control? If so do you have it hooked up to a RS-232 connection? If so can you give me some help?

It shouldn't be any different from anything else. I always do my RS-232 cables as follows: On both ends, jumper pin 4 to pin 5, and jumper pins 6, 8, and 20 together. Pins 2, 3, and 7 are wired straight through, though you may need to swap 2 and 3. Only 2, 3, and 7 need to be wired to the cable, but connecting pin 1 to the shielding helps.

Just be sure to connect pin 1 to the shield on the machine side only.

 

You don't want to have 2 frame grounds.

 

On the PC side (9 pin connector), "pin 1" is the connector shell.

Most 25 to 9 pin adapters do not ground pin 1 to the shell.
