So i have a parker SSD drive that im running a 7.5hp blackmax motor to turn a set of wire handling drums. Most of the configuration happens on the touch pad of the drive. however there's one small detail i need to change on the drive that needs to happen on the background software. I have parker's software to do this, and it literally takes thirty seconds to draw a line between two blocks to reconfigure what one of the outputs is telling my plc. the cable the provide to connect to this software is basically a telephone jack to a DE9. they said they don't have one that goes to USB yet, because that means they have to change the drives to accept usb and its too much work because rs232 isn't completely phased out yet. however, looking at their cable, its just a telephone wire, with telephone connectors at each end, (and yes i did plug it into my desk phone and it works just fine) and the de9 end of the plug, just has a telephone jack in the back. so its an adapter of sorts. my serial to USB adapter does not work, as i've seen online, that's very common. I have no slot to try an rs232 card. is there a usb to phone jack adapter for this type of communication or some other way I can guarantee a DE9 to USB adapter will work? or any out of the box ideas that i can try, anything, even if it doesn't work, will get me closer to talking to my drive.
