Looking for a little help with a connection issue.
I have a Partner V machine with a Cent. IV control, with a DNC box that was originally supplied on the machine.
I'm trying to make a cable. DB9 on computer to DB25 on machine. The common combination of pins does not seem to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Please help I need to start making chips

When all else fails use a DB9 to DB25 cable and a null modem connector. At least, that will get you up and running. Serial communications are a crap shoot on a Milltronics. sometimes they work and sometimes you have to fiddle around with them.

I use a serial modem cable 9 pin to 25 pin, but I used to hook mine up with a
straight cable with a Null modem adapter. Parameter #86 sets up the port.
2320=110 baud, 2321=300 baud, 2322=600 baud, 2323=1200 baud. I think
they may also be entered as 0000,0001,0002 and 0003. The last number sets
the baud. I've never been able to go faster than 600 on my machine.

I got the communications working, thanks for the help.

I still need to find a mastercam post file for the Centurion 4 control.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It sounds like you are very farmilair with this control.
