Moving DASD and Controller to a New Machine
If the server is the same brand, it should be OK. You don’t really need to move the backplane – just the drives and controller. If you are trying to mount the physical cage into a new box, you may not have success. In this case, you may be better off doing a data migration. [...]

Stop bit problem: USB to Serial Converter attached to motion controller, unable to set for 7-E-2
This may seem like a silly response, but since the 7-E-2 setting is the default, can it be changed? While I find dealing with serial communications on PLCs to be a pain in the butt, I’ve never had to deal with odd settings like that one. Good luck!

SPAM

By this I mean avoid names like “johna, johnb, ajones, asmith” etc. I used to use bobk and got flooded with the [...]
