RS 232C connecting problem for Movemaster RV-M1 Robot
Posted: Sat 18 May , 2013 9:08 am
Hello.
I'm just started working with RV-M1 robot at my university for my thesis.
I can connect it in parallel port, but since I need to use the feedback position from the robot, I need a serial connection.
The problem is, I can't connect my robot with the serial cable I purchased from local store.
I had used the original program and the program from the denford robot
Just want to make sure, the serial cable is from DB25-DB9, right?
And I just need to turn off the teaching box, setting the com port at the drive unit and match it with the com port setting at the PC, then connect the DB25 to drive unit and DB9 to serial port.
Or is there is special configuration for the cable?
Can someone post the proper connection from DB25-DB9 that used in this robot. I read on the manual there is signal respond requirement. Is it important and how to set it if I make my own connector.
I'm totally new to robotics and there are noone with experience with this robot in my university.
Thank you for your reply.
