Hello everyone, im working with IFM CR0020 controller via RS232 protocol where im trying to connect it to my PC but, every time when im using the maintenance tool to identify the device i get the error "The baud rate could not be determined" i have tried to change the cable of RS232 with different types but the error presist, any idea how to fix it

It could be a problem with the cable pinout on either side:
9 pin D-SUB connector (male) - PC side
Pin Potential:
1 n.c.
2 RxD
3 TxD
4 n.c.
5 n.c.
6 GND
7 n.c.
8 n.c.
9 n.c.
Shell Shield
Check if TxD and RxD cross between pins 2 and 3 (what is the Recive signal/wire to one device it's a Transmit signal/wire for the othe device)
or with COM port settings:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow controll: None
