DB9 RS 232 Pinouts and how to make up a usb to DB9 serial cable
I have a factory machine with a digital motor on it. In order to configure it I need to connect via the DB9 Serial interface that is attached to the drive. The documentation that came with the drive displays the pin assignments in a manner that I am not familiar with. I am also not sure how to make up a male usb to male DB9 cable.
Pin assignments
Pin 1 - IN 1+
Pin 2- IN 2+
Pin 3- OUT 1-, OUT 2-
Pin 4- OUT 1+
Pin 5- OUT 2+
Pin 6- IN 1-
Pin 7- IN 2-
Pin 8- OUT 1-, OUT 2-
Pin 9- OUT 1-, OUT 2-
I would appreciate any advice that I can get.
Thanks

For serial to USB, you don't go soldering things yourself, you'll blow up the system. Just buy a proper Serial>USB converter. A bigger name is: https://www.startech.com/eu/Cards-Adapters/Serial-Cards-Adapters/USB-to-RS232-Serial-Adapter-Cable~ICUSB232V2
There are electronics involved, it's not a 1 on 1 pin layout.
