eisy won't connect to PLM

[frank]

1: What is the correct color wiring and connected to where?

2: Unable to connect to PLM

3: right now I have the ethernet cable (gold or clear colored) connected to the side of the eisy. This is connected to the USB adapter which then connects to the PLM via the blue USB to Serial 2413S ver 2.1.

Assuming you bought the Serial PLM Kit

eISY USB-A Port <-> USB to RS-232 Converter <-> D-Sub to RJ45 Adapter <-> Ethernet Cable <-> Serial PLM RJ45

PLM must connect to the eisy via USB. I'm not sure what color wiring has to do with that. It can be any color of USB cable you have.

As @elvisimprsntr shows the path of cable and converter if you got the converter from UDI be sure you follow the pin out for the serial PLM kit.

 

There is only one network jack on the eisy. That is ONLY for wired network connection. That is NOT where the PLM should connect. That's a change from the ISY994 that used a network cable to connect to the ISY994. But the PLM 2413S is a serial connection. There was another cable in the PLM box originally that had a network cable at one end and serial DB9 connector at the other end. Many did not keep that (or didn't realize it was tucked away in the packaging) and so need to go through the adaptor process and then DB9 to USB convertor cable to concect to the eisy.

It will not work. As your assembly is doing.

The RJ45 serial connector on the PLM is not the standard serial port signals found on the USB to serial adapter.
