I'm having an issue trying to connect a 5/05 serial port to a parallel printer. I am currently connected to a serial printer using 2-3,3-2 and 5-5 from plc DB9 to printer DB9. With this configuration, everything works great. So I know the code is correct.
I have the same printer with a parallel port that I need to use in place of the serial printer. I purchased a Serial to Parallel converter from B & B Electronics Model 232SPS2. The converter is set for 9600 baud,Xon/Xoff, 8 data bits, No parity, serial to parallel conversion. The converter is a 25DB connector on the serial side so I wired the PLC to conveter as 2-3, 3-2, 5-7. When I sent the ASCII string the data light blinks on the printer but nothing happens.
Any ideas?
