comm cable

9 posts in this topic

Does anyone know the pin connections so I could make a communication cable or a place to purchase a reasonably priced one. The cable kit at automation direct is $95 seems like that is to much?

You think $95 is too much for a cable, you should see some of the others on the market. Some vendors have cables well over $300.

It might help if you state which PLC you are using. Or go here: ( the info is free) http://web1.automationdirect.com/adc/Manua...og/PLC_Hardware Edited by Mickey

The pinout can be found on the Automation Direct website, somewhere :) I found it one day and made a cable with an old phone cord and it works great! Good Luck! Mark

If you want to build DLxx cables very inexpensively (~$8)... Buy one of these RJ12 cables: http://www.l-com.com/search.aspx?q='td...9;&join=All eg TDC027-2 And buy this: http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=2447 (db9-female) or http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=2449 (db9-male) Then configure the plug-in pins, and you're set. That's how we make our DLxx cables at my company. Hope this helps!
