IDEC Micro-1 & Micro-1 Expansion

I am working on a project and was curiouse if anyone knew or knew where i could find the schematics for the Micro-1 and Micro-1 expansion plc's from IDEC.

I am mainly just looking to either create or purchase the cable that connects the two units together, but havn't had much success finging one.

Thanks.

You need an adapter. Check this link:

The cable that connects expansion units is just a straight ribbon cable. Pin 1 to Pin 1.

Thanks keithkyll, thats what i wanted to know.

Do you have a manual? If not, I might be able to provide a one in a PDF file.

I should be more accurate. We can't say 'pin 1 to pin 1' literally.
I've never seen a schematic for the cable. I remember it's layout physically.
Lay the units side by side. You have a header (is it 10 pin) on each unit.
On the PLC, the header is on the right. On the Expansion unit, the header is on the left. Saying 'pin 1 to pin 1' is confusing, because the connectors are rotated. Look at it physically. The top-left pin connnects to the top-left pin just as they sit. The design allows the ribbon cable to be as short as possible. It travels in a straight line - no twists or rotation.
