I am working on a project to back up software for a number of machines for a client, and am having problems connecting to SIMOVERT MasterDrives and an OP27 panel.
For the SIMOVERT connection, I am using cable 9AK1012–1AA00 with Drive Monitor, connected directly to my laptop. I have also tried fabricating my own cable based on the Drive Monitor documentation:
PC-----------------X103
2-RX---------------7-TX
3-TX---------------2-RX
5-GND-------------1,5,9-GND
For the OP27 connection, I have tried an RS232/TTY adapter cable, as well as a cable I fabricated based on cable 6XV1-440-2KH32 (I have also tried swapping RTS and CTS pins with no luck):
PC-------------OP27
2-RX-----------TX---4
3-TX-----------RX---3
5-GND---------GND-15
7-RTS----------RTS-10
8-CTS----------CTS--5
When attempting to connect, I configure the com port and baud rate in the respective software to match what is in Device Manager.
Can anyone give me pointers on what I may be doing wrong, or what steps I need to take that I may have missed?
