ACSII with a Micrologix 1200

[gertsc 0]

Hello all, I have an application where I am running a Micrologix 1200 with to ports. One of the ports (com1) are connected to a panelView and the other (port0) is used for my PLC connection (always connected). I need to send some ASCII charastors from the Micrologix 1200 via a RS-232 connection to another PC, what will I need to do that? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated gerry

You don't mention what protocol you are using on Port 0 and Port 1. I'd think you are going to have to convert PLC connection port to DH-485 and use a 1761-net-aic to conenct the PC to DH485.
