Hey all, greetings from Australia :) This cable works perfectly on our standard Fx1n's but we have a few automatic strapping machines with a FX1n-20BMT-NI plc card, (also goes by the part number PM-20BMT-002.) We had one of the inputs on a card fail, so we bought another, the original has an eprom socket from which the program can be swopped the new does not. We would also like to hook up our lappies to the strappers when they are giving trouble to assist with troubleshooting. Anyone have any ideas I might try? I am about to do the pin7-8 jumper and give that a good.
