Connecting the Controller to a Personal Computer
To connect the controller to a personal computer, you need a communications cable,
catalog number 1747-C10, and an RS-232/DH-485 interface converter, catalog
number 1747-PIC.
Note
This procedure does not apply to SLC 5/04 processors. For these processors, you
need to connect a 1747-CP3 cable from channel 0 of the processor to the personal
computer serial port, or you need to use a KT, KTX, KT2, or PCMK card.
1.
Locate the communications channel of the controller. The figure below shows
where it is located on modular and fixed controllers.
