I'm working on a pet project in my "spare time" at work.

BACKGROUND
My first major control system uses (all stepper motors)...

I have just finished a blog post in which we have installed a USB-485M adapter. Here is some of the post... The USB-485M is a 2-wire USB to RS-485 serial communication adapter for RS485 use. It does not require an external power supply or complicated...

I am currently having issues getting the 260 and 05 to communicate. I have them networked through a pair of TransNET900s and the MRX & MWX messages seem to be making it to the 05 from the 260 but there is no response back from the 05. The radios are about 3/4 of a mile apart with an unobstructed line of site. DL260 Comm Setup: Port: 2 Protocol: MODBUS Time-out: Base x 5 RTS On Delay: 10mS RTS Off Delay: 10mS Station: 1 Baud: 9600 Stop Bits: 1 Parity: ...

So we have tried many ways using many products. (modbus IAP devices) so we are reaching out to others in the field. We have a legacy system running an ASCII type protocol, but the Baud rates is 1200, e, 7, 2. N...

Hi everyone, I'm playing with a Do More processor by sending commands to STP-DRV-4850. I'm trying to decide whether or not to have my program process each ACK/NAK whenever I send a command out to the drive. One thought would be to work off the success bit for each STREAM...

I have a controller that lost its programming. We went through and reloaded the controller but the Serial IO network did not come back online. This Serial IO stuff is a bit out...

Hey All, I really need help. I am trying to print a label using a DL05 or DL06 connected to a serial label printer. Zebra uses EPL or ZPL language depending on which model you a...

Hello, I've an odd situation with the F2-UNICON device. In my test setup, I can transfer data from the RS-485 network to the F2-UNICON and out the RS-232 port; however, sending through the RS-232 port, the d...

Hi there, I've been commissioned to write an embedded Linux component of a larger, more complicated machine and I'm having real trouble reading data from an Automation Direct "Click" PLC. The PLC was programmed by someone-not-me to send an ASCII string over a serial connection every time a button was pushed. My code would then read said data from t...
