Connecting your PC to the machine tool’s
controller
To connect your computer to your machine tool’s controller, carry out the
following (see Figure 2.5):
1. Remove the RS232C cable [1] and 9 to 25 pin adapter [2] from the
RETROSCAN carrying case and remove all wrapping.
2. Identify the type of serial port on your PC.
Note...
If the serial port on your PC is 9 pin, the RS232C cable should be
connected to your computer via the 9 to 25 pin adapter [2] supplied.
3. Where necessary, connect the RS232C cable [1] and 9 to 25 pin
adapter [2] together. Ensure all connection retention screws are fully
tightened.
Note...
The RS232C cable/9 to25 pin adapter should normally be connected to
the COMM1 serial port on your PC. Where this is not possible, and
therefore the COMM2 serial port is to be used, it is important to
remember that your TRACECUT system will need to be configured for
use with this port. For instructions on how this is achieved, refer to your
TRACECUT on-line help.
4. Connect the RS232C cable/9 to 25 pin adapter, as applicable, to the
COMM1 serial port on your PC. Ensure that connection retention
screws are fully tightened.
5. Connect the remaining end of the RS232C cable [1] to the RS232 port
on your machine tool’s controller.
