HMS or Cognex,
Needing some feedback on this please.

Hi Dennis I would not expect the VCC power to cause the junk data. It could be used to power the device, if it meets the power requirements, over using an external power supply.
Have you tried using a null modem or just swapping the RX and TX lines. I would also make sure the devices are properly grounded and shielded.

It is working. Made a new cable using only pins 2, 3, and 5 to go between the scanner and the Anybus module.
Both DEVICES supplying power to the same pin does not work.
Great news!
I had assumed you were only using external power based on the diagram.
Let me know if you have any further questions I can help with.
