DIYDan Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 I have a JZ20-J-R31-Z and a PC with a DB9 Female serial port. I fancy the making a serial programming cable for it, because I can. I see the Jazz Jack inside the case is just a standard 10 pin IDC motherboard header, see image below. https://ibb.co/74tfYJ3 I have an drawing of the pins 1 to 9 on the DB9 and pins 1 to 10 on the Jazz jack 10 pin IDC header, see below. https://ibb.co/fGthgVH After a bit of internet research I believe pins 2 (RxD < TxD), 3 (TxD > RxD), 4 (DTR > Power), 5 (Signal Ground) & 7 (RTS > Power) are used on the DB9 but not sure where these connect to on the Jazz IDC header, I see the DB9 to RJ11 is 2-3, 3-4, 4-6, 5-2+5, 7-1. Does anyone have any ideas on the IDC side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2022 kratmel Posted June 3 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted June 3 Hi you must know that Jazz 10pin is not RS232 compatible. Jazz PRG module must be used for programming. Jazz PRG offer all needed option: -level shift from RS232 to ttl (max 3221 used); -galvanic isolation via two optocoupler ; -RX and TX signal conditioning via logic buffer (NC7SZ58 chip) with 3.3V logic level; -some add-on elements connected to Jazz connector pins (i do not know about how it managed by Jazz plc); -power cirquit for max3221 power from RS232 port. P.S. - on 10pin connector present logic level 3.3V signals. 3.3V power pin and 24VDC from PLC power input. If you connect any 3.3V pin to 24VDC - PLC can be damaged! P.P.S - I build my own "Jazz PRG with USB port" and galvanic isolation. But i have standard Jazz PRG and Jazz PLC on table for experiments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
