Heinz,

Do you have the correct pins tied together in the 15 pin D-shell to enable serial?  I think for RS-232 you need to pull pin 5 low, which they suggest doing by tying to pin 2.  For RS-485, you also need to pull pin 6 low.  Caveat: I haven't tried this yet, but I did have this in my notes as part of the next project.
     Greg

P.S. My instruction manual is supposedly A73501860 Issue B

Subject: [External] Support for Edwards nXDS 10i

Hi Techies,

We are trying to commission an Edwards scroll pump nXDS 10i with streamdevice via serial communication and streamdevice.
We have a protocol description with serial 9600 baud and Ascii communication like "?V808\cr”

But unfortunately with these settings nothing happens on the link.

There is a Windows-Programm whitch runs with 38400 baud and binary communication protocol ( named Modbus?).
This works.

Does anyone have such a pump in operation?
Are there different protocol variants?
Do we have the wrong documentation?

Danke Heinz
