You need the SC-09 cable from Mitsubishi (I do not recommend anyone from Ebay) since it contains a RS232<->RS422 converter on the cable (the FX port is RS422). You should contact your local Mitsu dealer...

Hi. You can make a purchase for the items you request from Amazon UK, from a online retailer called (SainSmart). They sale, cost effective alternative PLC programming cables for the Mitsubishi MELSEC FX. Personally, you should take the option, of using a (USB) port from your Siemens laptop to a RS422 adapter for the MELSEC FX PLC. Please, (Select) or (Paste and Go) to the following links: *.

Well, as I previously stated; you should use a standard (Mitsu approved) SC-09 cable. Others before you have tried the approach above with more or less success, even on this forum: http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?showtopic=25864&st=0&p=124092&hl=usb%20sc09&fromsearch=1entry124092 You may choose to do what you want, but remember that we cannot help you very much if you use non-approved products and run into problems....
