E1012 HMI and Custom FT90 serial printer

6 posts in this topic

For an application with a FX1s we have used MAC E100 and MAC E150 with a Custom FT190 printer with serial connection (not only one but for a total of ten installations). Now we can't find another MAC of the same type, but we have many problems with the equivalent MAC , E1012. The cable from RS232 HMI and printer have diffrent pin (inverted 2 and 3 and changed 7 with 8) but in E Designer the project is the same. In mitsubishi there isn't an answer for this problem. We have received only a suggest from Custom, to connect 6 and 8 together on the RS232 panel. Other elements : printout system signal on HMI, without a value during the printing, on the HMI we don't see any signaling of error, with or without connection on RS232 (phisical cable connected or not). Others test to check the application and solve the problem ? Best regards MAC E 100/150 FT190 2-------------------------- 3 3-------------------------- 2 7-------------------------- 4 5-------------------------- 7 MAC E1012 FT190 2-------------------------- 2 3-------------------------- 3 6-| 8-|------------------------- 4 5-------------------------- 7

Are you sure that your diagrams for the E1000 are correct? If you contact Custom again, you can say that the E1000 uses a standard computer serial port with the same pinout as a normal computer. I guess they have many computer installations, so the E1000 will be exactly the same.

Try to remove latch between 6-8 and insert a latch between 1-4-6 instead. The E1000 series uses a PC port and 1-4-6 should be latched if not in use together with HW handshake.
