I need to trouble shoot an industrial grinder that is being run by an embedded computer that only has one9 pin serial port(no monitor,no keyboard, no mouse). I need to know how to connect to and communicate with the embedded computer using my laptop(which has both usb and serial ports). The machine is a completely custom built machine. I have a serial cable i just don't know how to access the embedded computer using the serial port.
Thank you for any helpful responses
 
this might be a tough one for anyone here to help you with, since its a custom machine. however i would try using a null modem between the 2 computers and try using PuTTy or something to talk between the computers... of course it will be all CLI.. as far as baud rates i have no idea.
 
Normally when programming machine tools you need to have specific software on the laptop to connect to the machine, even then it just transfers the programme across.
