C200H connection

[ChrisKozanecki 2]

Ok, I looked through the downloads section, but maybe I missed it. I am trying to connect to a C200H-CPU21. I thought the module used to connect was a 3G2A6-LK201-EV1 with a normal 9-pin to 25-pin RS232 cable, but I cant seem to auto-online with the PLC. Can anyone tell me if I at least have the right cables?

That's the right hostlink. What does normal cable mean? Check this technote: 3G2A6-LK201 Hostlink and Cable @ MrPLC,com

Hi ChrisKozanecki, Do you use CX-Programmer? Can't use auto-online function to C200H, you must set COM port in Driver tab as same as Hostlink unit (set by DIP switches) (e.g. 9600,7,e,2) and with the cable as Jay post.

looks like (acording to your posts) that I have the wrong RS232 cable. By "normal" I meant a standard type from any store. The one that is needed is a Custom Cable. I will have to get one tomorrow or make one. Thank you for the help once again!
