Posted 22 Aug 2007 (edited) What I have is a 1784 PCMK series B card for the lap top and I want to connect to the probe connection on the 1787-PLUG10R. What items do I need to make this happen? Edited 22 Aug 2007 by Tinker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Aug 2007 nice picture. What device is the 1787-plug10R connecting to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Aug 2007 Round peg, squar-ish hole. 1784-PCMK/B connects your PC-card-enabled computer to several proprietary A-B network connections, depending on the cable you plug into it. It supports DH+ using the 1784-PCM5 and -PCM6 cables, DH485 using the 1784-PCM4 cable, and a PLC-2 front panel connection using the 1784-PCM2. The 1787-PLUG10R is a DeviceNet plug. For a DeviceNet interface, you need a serial 1770-KFD or the PC Card 1784-PCD card. The cable that connects the 1784-PCD DeviceNet card to the probe holes on the common open-style DeviceNet plugs is the 1787-PCABL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 31 Aug 2007 (edited) Thanks for the help Ken and Bob. I went with the PC Card 1784-PCD with the 1787-PCABL cable. All is working great and much faster than using pass through on the SLC503. I ran out of memory on an 8k SLC503 so the next project is to swap it out with a 16k SLC503 and then back to the messaging project.
