Seb - How do you respond so fast?! The love controller has a -995 option, which is RS232. But, there are 2 controllers and there's no addressing for the rs-232 version from what I saw. I thought maybe you could daisy chain them, but seems you can only address the RS-485 version.
On the Automation direct GS2 VFD, that was nice because it had a rs-485 or rs-232 option selectable. PS - what reader do you use for this mailing list to get the ">" inserted? I simply have been using gmail and recall posts a long time ago on better readers, but I couldn't find it when I searched? Also, I think one of the reader will keep the posts in one thread.

Might the mesa smart > serial RS-422 be able to work someway? A lot of modbus devices will accept RS232. I run modbus from LinuxCNC to a couple of VFDs over USB-to-RS232 adapters, inexpensive & works great. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
