HEY, PEOPLE.

 

IS THERE A MAX LENGHT FOR RS-232 CABLE

GOING FROM PC TO CNC MACHINE ?

 

HAS ANYBODY EVER HAD GLICHES OR PROBS

WITH A LENGHT OVER 100 FEET ?

I assume you mean RS-232 and no, I have my cable going 150, and no problems. What software are you using? DNC?

 

Also, drob the caps lock, when typing in caps people will think your YELLING.

Please don't yell, we can hear you fine. (Posting on the internet with all caps is seen as yelling). Anyway back to the question, everything earthly (RS-232 included) is finite (meaning it has a limit), now, where that limit lies will depend on several factors. Quality of cable, quality of connectors, quality of connection, proper installation, Baud Rate, no RFI (Radio Frequency Interference), and other things play a part in what you can actually acieive. But for the most part 100 ft is within the acceptable range depending on baud rate. If memory serves, that kind of a range you're probably looking at aroung 4800 I believe unless you're shielded with no RFI and using Gold COnnectors straight through no breaks then you shoudl be asble to get it up to at least 9600 if not higher..

We are using a cable that is running over 200' at a baud rate of 19,200 bps.

It is specific to the place .

EDM ,other sources of electric noise always can give your probs.

The longer the worse.

Good connectors ,right cabling ,shielded twisted pair cable always help .

If you have probs ,downrate your baud rate.

If you can ,set the parity check

I have one machine that has a RS-232 cable that ran over 150 feet. And I kept hearing they whine about the slowness of the commnication.

 

so, I go ahead and purchase a RS232-Ethernet and plug a blue wire to any of the switch and it works great since.

Sorry for the yelling.

 

Were seting up using MC 9.1

We just wanted to be sure the long cable

would'nt be a problem.

thanks for all the info.
