Sorry, couldn't resist...
Anyhow, I'm trying to marry up a Unitronics M90 with a Yaskawa SGDH servo drive using host commands to initiate indexes and monitor faults, yadda yadda.
Now here's my specific question :
The M90 can do a number of variations on the RS232 protocol, regarding parity and such, but this much is etched in stone: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.
The Yaskawa's RS232 is pretty inflexible : 1 start bit, 7 data bits (ASCII) and 1 stop bit.
My question is simple - will this combination work? I don't know much about ascii encoding, but I know 1+7=8 (I think), so will it have an effect, or is there a way I can work around the difference in software?
Thanks!
