Hi, I am trying to run my 1984-5 Triac via BobCad/Cam on my PC but I do not have the required RS232 cable.
I have bought the connectors to make up a lead, and I am unsure of the pin layout.
Any one have any idea?
Thankyou

try also
https://www.denfordata.com/downloads/dos/triac.zip

this may help testing your 232 connection.

You may also find the manuals for the triac here, though I've not checked.

Hi Andy, thankyou for that info - but on the Triac it is a 7 pin DIN connector, and not the same as the Orac sadly.
Although I could have done with that info you gave me for a freinds Orac :D

sorry for the missleading info!
In the manuals dowload section is the scanned manual for the triac- there are connection details there
