Serial Cable Connection
If the Welding Power Source you are trying to connect to has a serial port and your computer also has a
serial port that is a DE-9 male connector (a nine-pin connector also referred to as a DB9), you can connect
to the Welding Power Source with a nine- to 25-pin serial cable. The serial port on the Welding Power
Source is a DB-25 female connector (25 pins).
Figure 2.1 Serial Cable Connection
This cable is available at Lincoln Electric automation division as part number AD1207-2. It is also available
at various electronics retailers and online stores by searching for the keywords “DB9 to DB25 modem
cable”.
If your computer does not have a serial port, you will need to purchase a “USB to Serial” adapter that
converts one of your computer’s USB ports to a serial port. If you are using a “USB to Serial” adapter, make
sure the drivers for the adapter are properly installed.
