Micrologix 1200

Is there another method of communicating to this controller other than the 1761-CBL-PM02 cable? I have the 1784-PCMK card, 1784-PCM cable with 1784-CP7 adapter, plus various serial cables. I also have a 1747-UIC convertor. One would think that A-B would enable the 1784-CP7 to be compatible with the ML 1200. Oh I forgot, this is A-B I'm talking about.

If you have a DH485 network set up (with 1761-NET-AICs), you could use a PCMK w/ a PCM4 cable and/or a 1747-UIC to communicate on that network. Otherwise you have to use the direct serial connection. Yeah, A-B hasn't been entirely dis-ambiguous in their use of comm. connectors over the years. I wouldn't disagree with you if you said it was frustrating and confusing.

Thanks for the information. I thought this was the only option but just wanted to be sure.

actually if you really wanted to get fancy you could attach a 1761-NET-ENI and use ethernet, but those are a bit pricey
