If it names the pin out designations as standard RS232 then it should be easy to convert over from 25p to 9 pin in order to make up a cable.

Does anybody have a schematic diagram for a RS 232 cable for a Roland Modela MDX 15 milling /scanning machine ?
The producer treats that cable as "optional" and their local representative doesn't wanted to be disturbed by such a "small" problem.
They have a diagram in the manual, but it is only for the 25-male pins end of the cable and they asssume one has to connect the 9-female pins end according to the RS 232 standard.
Before trying that, I hope that someone here has a reliable diagram for both ends of that cable.
Thank you in advance,
Radu

Thanks Scanbooster! Just found this thread after messing around for quite a while with different cables. Roland rep said to buy a USB parallel cable - which I did. Couldn't get that to work but made a cable with your pinouts and I have a scan underway right now.
Thanks to cnczone for keeping these posts live for so long.
Hi
I was wondering if since you have a Roland you might be able to post or email lemamquais@gmail.com some photos of how the wire is routed through the pulleys to move the cutting head (not the spindle to motor belt but the x,y and z positioning wires). I would really appreciate it if you could do this!
Thanks in advance!
