xw6600 Workstation - Serial Port problems

I want to add a standard RS232 9 pins (serial) port on my HP xw6600 workstation.

Due to the current expansion I have only x 8 PCIe and PCIe x 16 available on the motherboard slots.

I tried two dedicated PCIe Searial maps (PX-235 BrainBoxes and SatrTech BY - 1 S 552) and caused both the PC go into a continuous re-start cycle, i.e. the PC through the BIOS and rebooting itself before loading the operating system.  I tried to disable the interface Serial Port built into the BIOS, but it made no difference and cars (s) should be removed.

I noticed that the motherboard has an onbard Serial Port adapter, but I don't know what hardware is required to present this port at the rear of the workstation (cable and plate back I guess), or even if it can be used for this purpose.

If someone added a serial port to the device, I'd be interested to know how they did it.

Thank you.

That's what you're looking for. It is a connector standard seial that connects to the head set to edge out motherboard to an empty slot on the back of your pc. There are many on the market. You should be able to find a room for @ $6-8, 00 USD to any electronic parts store. If you activate the serial port in the BIOS, coupled with the installation of a configuration like this, you should have what you are looking for.

  • Visa set up serial port problem

    Hi all

    I use the RS-232 port to communicate with the instrument. At the moment the device is not their so I shorted pins 2 and 3 of the connector connected to the COM2 port, so that what ever I'm transmitting, I I'll be back. Using Hyperterminal I am able to verify that whatever i write, he's coming back.

    But when you use a Labview 7.1 I am tring to connect first by configuring the using VISA CONFIGURE SERIAL PORT.vi serial bus

    with the following parameters

    Visa resource name = ASRL2::INSTR (port COM2 because)

    Baud rate = 2400

    Data bits = 8

    Parity = None

    Stop bits = 1.0(Equal to 10)

    Flow control = None

    End of reading at the end of character = True

    Up VISA is in error. The error code is 1073807202

    The procedure described above is similar in the read/write of Visa examples provided...

  • Serial Port problems - carriage return and use as an executable file

    Hello

    I developed an application to send a few simple commands on the serial port and read the corresponding answers of a device that I am in communication with.  I have been using logical Port to watch the line TX of the serial port.

    By using the Visa configure Serial Port I set the stop character property allow true and used the hexadecimal value D trying to make the termination a carriage return characters.  When I sent the order, I'll send the cmd followed by Enter.  No matter if this property is set to true or the hexadecimal value is set to D for carriage return or line break is, the serial port would always send a line break.

    Then I got crafty and the string constant under normal display to hexadecimal display.  The ONLY way I could send a carriage return was manually putting 0x0D after ordering.  So my question is, why the Visa set up the Serial Port is not working correctly, and is there a better way to send a carriage return?

    My next issue is facing the construction of executable files.  I'm using LabVIEW 8.2 and wrote this program for another employee to use on his laptop computer.  I did install runtime Labview 8.2 and led to the executable that I generated.  I did-> the executable by clicking Tools build the executable.  The problem I noticed was that the executable would open and will work perfectly, but it would not send any data the serial port.  I then ran the executable on my laptop (which contains the full version of LabVIEW 8.2) and the serial port has worked well.  I guess my question is... Are there plug-ins that must be installed to use the serial port with the Labview runtime engine?  Or y at - it a step that I failed to do?

    Thank you

    Gary Still

    Not immerse in the first issue. The Knight will probably be galloping until shortly.

    For your second question, after building the executable, you must build the installer and includes support for the VISA. VISA is required for serial communication, and it does not accept American Express.

  • VMware Workstation - Serial Port limit

    Hello

    I need to create a VM in Windows XP Pro that can access all ports eight series provided by a card PCI Express 8 serial ports that is installed at the breast of the host machine.  I think that VMware Workstation v7 (that we currently use) has a limit of four virtual ports.  Is anyone aware of another product VMware that would allow me to do what I have to, or is it a lost cause (i.e. what I must go and install XP directly on the host machine - yeuch)?

    Thanks in anticipation for any help or advice.

    Glen

    Currently, there is no VMware product with the support of more than 4 serial ports.

  • Serial port problem

    I am trying to transfer my software on my computer to my embroidery machine computer, I get a message "no link to serial port.  Someone suggested it was Windows, but I don't know if it's my computer or my enbroidery machine.  I have Windows XP on my computer.

    I missed the part where you said it was the first time you tried to connect to the embroidery machine.

    Yes, it might be the cable (or any other material, either on the computer or the embroidery machine).

    Most computers today have only a serial port physical port, where COM1 and its shared COM3.  COM2 (and its shared COM4) are the remains of the time where everything connected by the serial port and computers had two of them.

    As far as I KNOW, the only way for you to get COM2 (and other COM ports) would be to add the device to your computer.  You should not need to do unless the serial port of your computer is broken (unlikely): http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=serial+pc+card&x=0&y=0

  • Communication serial port problems

    Hello.  I'm trying to control a pressure controller MKS Instruments 651 via RS - 232 c.  Right now, I just try to establish a basic communication with the device on the serial port.  I can connect to the device with hyperterminal of windows using the following parameters:

    Bits per second: 9600

    Data bits: 8

    Parity: None

    Stop bits: 1

    Flow control: no

    Once I log in, I'm in file--> properties, settings tab and click the button settings ASCII.  I need to check the following boxes (not ticked by default) for communication any occurs:

    Send line ends with line breaks

    The echo locally typed characters

    Add line breaks to incoming line ends

    Force incoming data to 7-bit ASCII

    Once I got it, I can communicate with my device via hyperterminal.  What I want to do now is to use LabVIEW to control the unit, so I need to be able to send and receive data through the connection RS-232 using LabVIEW.  I have been using the basic series write and read vi, but I get no response from my camera.  Looking at the block diagram for the basic reading/writing, I saw that allow termination Char has been wired to false, so I changed to a control and set it to true.  I also changed the termination to a control tank and assign 0xD for the CR.  I can't always get a response from the device.

    I guess I'm still not put in all for the serial port configuration correctly.  Can anyone give me some suggestions on what else to change to match my hyperterminal settings?  Thank you!


  • Problem: read bytes to serial port

    Hello, I need to communicate with an external device with serial port. I have to write a command to my device string, and then it should play with 64 bytes of data. I built a function of READING-WRITING and I use it in a loop (I have to read a lot of 64-byte block)

    Sometimes, I have the following problem:

    (1) I have send the command string, I wait with "Bytes to the serial port" whereas I have more then 60 bytes, then I read.

    (2) sometimes happen that the read function cannot read all 64 bytes, so the net for cycle, I have in the receiver buffer mor than 64 and the program to stop working. (does not work well)

    I need to be sure that after writing the command I have 64 bytes, so I red all the 64 bytes so the next loop for, I have the buffer of the empty receiver.

    I enclose my writing reading function. Please refer to the block diagram (there are a few notes).

    Thank you

    In no place in your program see the VISA configure the Serial Port. It's always a good idea to include this that even if you use the default settings. I suspect this is one of the default settings which is wrong with you. By default, playback is set to end when a character is considered. This means that if you have a 10 hex (ASCII LF) in your stream, playback stops until the specified number of bytes is read. Put in a VISA set up the Serial Port and connect a constant False to the stop character allow entry.

    B.Regards,

    Hussain SF

    Hi Hussain SF,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. You get no matter what error code/message when connecting to the serial port PCI?
    2. What is the brand and model of the computer/motherboard?
    3. What card has been inserted in the PCI slot?

    PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect. It's an industry standard bus to connect devices to a computer.

    A serial port is a serial communication physical through transfers of information inside or outside a bit at a time. The term "serial port" usually identifies hardware more or less conforms to the RS-232 standard, designed to interface with a modem or a similar communication device. The serial port used to be widely used to connect to a variety of devices external and is essentially a two-way communication port. There are still devices using a serial port connection. These are often marked as RS232 and would include devices such as TELEVISION receiver cable boxes.

    The PCI of Simple Communications controller is a generic label given by Windows for PCI cards installed in a PC when the drivers for the device are not installed.

    You probably received this error because you have not installed the driver for your PCI device.

    If your computer came with a motherboard driver disc, put the CD in and install the chipset drivers from Device Manager browse the CD. This would update the drivers for those devices.

    Steps to follow:

    a. right click on the entry in the Device Manager and select Properties.

    b. in the driver tab updated some drivers.

    c. Select Browse my computer for driver software.

    d. click on browse and look for DVD player option.

    e. follow the instructions on the screen and restart the computer after installing the drivers.

    If you don't have the motherboard drivers CD then please download and install the drivers for the chipset of the manufacturer's Web site and see if it helps.

    Get back to us with all the information and results of proposed suggestion. We will be happy to help you.

  • Problem using the serial port with windows 7

    Hello

    I have a modem of SIM cards (used to update remote controller of the electronic gate) that connects to my computer via the serieal port (COM1).

    The modem comes with its own piece of software that worked fine on my old computer with windows 7 (I had a similar problem, but then I just need to update the driver).

    I now have a new computer and I am unable to connect using the modem (I think I'm using the latest drivers for the serial port).

    Is it possible that I need an older version? If so, how can I get a?

    My motherboard is a GIGABYTE H81M-D2V.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    AVI

    Hi Avi,

    Thank you for the update on the issue.

    The UART, or Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter, is a characteristic of your microcontroller useful to connect serial data (text, numbers, etc.) to your PC. The unit switches incoming parallel information (in the microcontroller/PC) to series data that can be sent over a communication line.

    According to the description you provided it seems that your modem isn't connecting with your Windows 7 computer, then I would contact Duetech Berès your modem manufacturer, so that they provide you with the steps to set it up.

    Get back to us after contacting them and please get back to us with your question was last updated.

    Hi David,

    The error is because you don't have to specify the 'fileOperation' in the VirtualDeviceConfigSpec to add serial ports. The virtual machine correctly, reconfigure if you remove the following line:

    > fileOperation = > $fileOp,

    In addition, properties "pipeName" and "end point" of "VirtualSerialPortPipeBackingInfo" are strings. Thus, instead of

    > my $endPoint = VirtualSerialPortEndPoint-> new ('server');

    > my $vdpName = VirtualDevicePipeBackingInfo-> new (pipeName = > $pipeName);

    You simply do:

    > my $endPoint = "server."

    > my $vdpName = $pipeName;

    Hope the above helps you to resolve the error.
