Connect the IT/DH adapter cable between the ASCII module and
channel B of the industrial terminal.
Channel B
Periodically you will have to switch the cables that connect to channel B
of the industrial terminal.
You will use the industrial terminal cable (cat. no. 1775-CAT) when
using the industrial terminal in PLC-3 mode and entering or displaying
data in the PLC-3 data table.
You will use the IT/DH adapter cable (cat. no. 1770-CB) when using
the industrial terminal in alphanumeric mode as an ASCII device
connected to your ASCII module.
Be sure to observe the labels on the cable connectors and connect each
to its designated port.
Also, if the IT/DH adapter cable is too short or not available, make your
own. It should not exceed 50 feet (Figure 1.7).
