Hello!
I've been reading the posts because i have a similar problem.
I'm doing a school work and is basically reviving a fanuc 0M machine by connecting it to a PC via Rs232. My objective is simply to upload or download programs to the fanuc.
After reading the post i double checked my cable that i made a few days ago ( because there was none ) based on the machine's manual.
I took a picture of the manual but it was a bit too artistic so i made a connection diagram. The connecting pins have nothing to do with the suggested by Dan Fritz and the manual is from 1986!
I can't receive anything from the machine so i'm thinking could it be the cable?
From the pdf i saw that i'm connecting 2-3 and 3-2 witch doesn't seem logic.. but its the connection diagram...
Can the cable described work?
for the port configuration:
"first parameter page marked "I/O"." -> Need a little help here also. Where is the first parameter page?
Thanks for all the help!
