Re: Okuma LB15 - OSP5000 / DNC / Serial transfer.
The 5000L “green screen” had different settings for communication than the 5000L-G and you are correct in that it did not have the same communication capabilities.
I’m able to reliably do 9600 baud all the time using software handshaking. Limitations seem to be long distances and noises, so a well shielded cable is important. I’ve done up to 19200 even but 9600 seems best if reaction times by hardware is slow.
Normally 5 and 6 would be crossed for hardware handshaking. Always jumper 6,8,20 on Okuma end.
Glad to hear you have it working.
Experience is what you get just after you needed it.
