This is maddening. I'm developing a new application where a 1769-L32E with a 1769-ASCII module is communicating with a Tegam micro-ohmmeter.
Everything works great with a PC terminal connected to the ASCII module. When I connect the two together for real, the ASCII module sends the commands to the Tegam correctly but when the Tegam responds the ASCII module only shows receiving a CR character. The RxID updates showing that it did receive.
I've verified my cable. I've built an RS232 sniffer and connected the terminal - the correct message appears there. I've pumped the message through my interface cable with the terminal and the ASCII module receives it correctly. I've examined the messages with the terminal in hex mode and there are no funny extra characters. I've checked my Baud Rate on the module. I've set it to Include Delimiter $R. I've followed all the instructions in the Rockwell manual - this is how I got it working with the terminal.
For some unknown reason the ASCII module won't recognize what the Tegam sends out its TX pin.
Suggestions? Time to get the scope out?
Thanks
