I have a project that I am working on from the previous co-op and am trying to make sense of things. was just left a box of stuff basically. I have a:

micrologix plc
panelview 550
aic controller
3 RTD's and the RTD module to connect them to the plc
the cables 1761-cbl-pm02 and 1761-cbl-as03.

the former cable connects the panelview to the aic controller i believe and the first cable connects the aic to a pc, i think. now my question is don't i need a mini Din to mini Din cable? I think it is 1761-cbl-hm02 cable per AB's user manual but they have only micrologix 1000 series plc and i am not sure if it would be the same. any ideas?

all micrologix plcs use same RS232 cable (DB to MiniDin, part number 1761-cbl-pm02 )

Yes but I am trying to connect a panel view and the micrologix controller to the PC at the same time so I can test to see if things will work. what cables do I need to be able to do that? I have the cables listed above that where left to me from the prevous co-op.

Please provide us with the complete catolog number of your PanelView.
