Hi, I am a PLC novice. I am trying to access a panasonic plc CPU (fpg-c32t2h) with my laptop. I believe I need FPWIN Pro.
But before that, I need help with getting the cable.
Question 1)
The PLC has a RS232 comm card attached to its side. FPG-COM2. It has five terminals. It has 5 terminals; S1, S2, R1, R2, SG. I am assuming RxD=R, TxD=S, GND=SG. But then why are two each (R1 R2 S1 S2)? Can you help me with which pins go to which terminals of the comm card?
Question 2)
My laptop has a serial port (DE9 IOIOI). So, do I need to get a cable with the DE9 plug at one end (for my laptop) and 9 wires at the other end (for the PLC)? Where do I order one of those?
Thank you.
