Hi all,
Walked up to the machine the other day and couldn't load programs from my laptop. I'll receive "wrong program data" when attempting to read in a known working programs. Checked the cable, checked the output from the serial port, checked adapters. Seems like the serial port circuit could be failing in the control. Voltage on the I/O board was 5V at the test points but I didn't check at the RS232 receiver/transmitter/controller ICs explicitly. This same setup has worked for the last 8 months. Next steps will be checking serial inputs/outputs on a scope.
Anyone have any experience with these symptoms?
Thanks.
