Full Version: ML1200 PV550 special cable
Hi All
Do you now if it if possible with a special cable to plug an ML1200 with his PV550 but i want also to connect my PC to be able to check the program in real time?
Is there a special tool or cable like this?
Regards
If you haven't yet purchased the ML1200 get the ML1200R which gives you a 2nd port.
Otherwise, look into the 1747-DPS2 port splitter. I'm pretty sure that will do what you are looking for however I haven't had the opportunity to try one out.

The port splitter should work if the PV550 supports DF1 protocol.
Does it? What is the complete catalog number of your PV?

There are several port "splitters" out there, aka "Port Multiplexers" for DF-1 protocol.
I've personally used the PLC09 from www.calta.com which gives you 3 serial ports from one. I've also used a Digi One IAP which gives you both a serial port and an Ethernet port. So in practice you plug the PLC into one serial port, the PV550 into the second serial port, and you can talk to EITHER device via the Ethernet port from your laptop or plug it into your LAN. Price-wise, I believe both will run you about the same cost so the big question will be whether you prefer serial or Ethernet access.
