Serial and Parallel Cable Lengths

Featured Replies

Posted

Serial cables should not be longer than 75 feet (25 meters).


Parallel cables should be no longer than 25 feet (8 meters)*


There are alternatives for using serial based machines with longer lengths such as using a LAN to serial adapter.  


 


*Parallel machine connections are not officially supported and we can not guarantee this connection type will work correctly in all environments.  Please contact your distributor for additional information.


I need to connect my embroidery machine  Tajima Neo 1 back up through the serial port, but my computer only has lan or USB connections. I bought a serial to USB adapter, but it won't recognize ANY ports- it comes up blank when trying to specify a port. What do I do?!?!?

I have Wilcom E3


I have serial cable hooked up from computer - used to use floppy's - the embroidery  design is in the queue but is not received by the embroidery machine.  It will only show disks -


Is there a setting on the machine that I should set?  Dip switch or??? 


It does not give me any selection on the machine screen for direct cable - only says /disk.


My embroidery machine Brother BAS 416


Thanks

Does anyone know how to set up the serial cable connect via the software?  I can get it to recognize the machine but it won't send anything to it.  I get an error of "fff".


This is with the Creator X software.


Thanks


I don't know which machine you would like to connect but I can give you the information for Tajima serial machine connection.

You may not able to find any same cable in the market. Wiring is not a standard connection.

What gives you the error message "ff", the machine of software?
What machine (model) to connect to?
