What RS232 baudrate do you use?

[Petro]

What baudrate do you use in your plant?
Is there a reason you have chosen that speed?
Are some machines set up at different speeds? which ones and why?

[rocketcheese]

Actually 1200 baud....
It´s all that my old machine can handle! ( Emcoturn 340 with Sinumerik 810T )

i did dnc since 1989.ive connected over 1000 cnc machine tools in different types.

normally different cnc has different default baudrate.

fanuc default is 4800
siemens default is 9600
dynapath 10 is 1200

For RS-232 length and baud go hand-in-hand.

I've also found that different types of wire will improve speed over long distances.

I normally use 9600 because it works fast enough for what I'm am sending and recieving, and it seems to work everytime. Newer RS-232 works much better than the old RS-232. (Anyone convert tape readers to RS-232? If you do... I'm sorry)

I once worked on some timeclocks that I had to slow to 600 baud due to the distance (over 1000 feet).

Interesting... if you look at computers, memory, CPU's; funny how RS-232 is still around while other aspects of computers have changed and come-and-gone. (8 inch floppys, MFM drives) Am I showing my age?

I think 9600 is enough fast.
In Fanuc you can go to system page and then push right Arokey three times and see what is default baudrate and if you want you can change it.

I'll use 19.2 if the controller will handle it, but I prefer 4800 or 9600 for compatability reasons. The older machines won't handle the faster baud rates.

On deferent machine i use deferent baud rates

[saublin]

sinumerik 810 - 1200
sinumerik 3m - 4800
fanuc 10m - 2400
fanuc om - 9600

FOR ME I RULED THE SPEED TRANSMISSION FOR A 9600 has FANUC OMD and its works well
