Yup. Works great now. Funny thing. It wasn't working and then I went to the serial port monitor and it starting working. It could be I had a bad connection on the RJ connector and bumped it coincidentally. It would be nice if Red Lion updated their documentation for other Unitronics controllers. I'm using the Red Lion DSPLE000 which works great for converting Unitronics protocol to just about any other device you'd want to talk to. Price isn't bad either at around $600 CDN (for how powerful it is).

Hi, I'm trying to get a Unitronics V570 to communicate to a Red Lion Data Station Plus over RS232. The documentation seems to only talk about RS485 and Ethernet, but Red lion Crimson lets me set up the driver on the RS232 port. Unfortunately, I need the RS485 on the Red Lion for something else... Cabling: RED LION RS232 V570 Port 2 RX (2) - (3) TXD TX (5) - (4) RXD GND(3) - (5) GND On the Red Lion, I set it up for PCOM ASCII protocol 9600,8,N,1 On the Unitronics, I do a COM INIT on Power Up for COM2. They just don't talk. I see the transmit light blink on the Red Lion, but nothing on the receive. Anybody else tried this successfully? Thanks for your time, Rob
