There is a pinout diagram in the manual if you have a 5/03-4-5.

You need an adapter if you have a 5/01-2, or one of the original block style units.

Micrologix units use a proprietary connector so you have to buy the cable from ab.

Bob is right.

If you have a 9 pin serial on the SLC:
(pinout of 1747-CP3 from AB)
2-3
3-2
5-5

If you have a "phone jack" port:
You have to use a 1747-pic (RS-232 to DH-485 converter)

Hello, similar question.

I need some help on making a programming cable for a plc5/20 (1785-l20b)

I don't know much about this stuff (just things I came across looking for diagrams etc).

Apparently it's db9 to db25 (in appearence), however, I need to know the pin to pin configuration before I proceed.

Could someone shed some light for me?

Thanks,
 
<p>The wiring diagram for this cable is:
<pre>
PC PLC5
DB9F DB25M
RXD 02-------------02 TXD
GND 05-------------07 GND
TXD 03-------------03 RXD

DTR 04-| |-04 RTS
DSR 06-| |-05 CTS

RTS 07-| |-06 DSR
CTS 08-| |-08 CD
|-20 DTR
</pre>

<p>Basically, this is the pinout for the 1784-CP10 cable.

<p>Good luck.<br>

Thanks everyone, I did find the pinout information in the manual listed on Allen Bradley's site. I just had to look harder I guess... and now I have a better understanding of the different cables, etc...

Thanks again,

Mike
