Well, for starters here's a pin-out of a cable that will let you program the PLC via the Modbus port from the RS232 COM port on your laptop.

Now all you need is some software..

- Modsoft + Virtual MBX driver (or similar)
- ProWORX NXT
- ProWORX 32
- Concept
- Or a 3rd party solution such as FasTrak PLC workshop

Thanks a Lot

To get any further help from anyone, you're gonna have to come up with a LOT more detail than that.

- Has you using a PC with a real serial port?
- What OS are you using?
- What programming software and version are you using?
- What are the comms settings in your programming software?
- What are the front and rear switch settings on the PLC CPU?
- Have you RTFM on both the PLC & the programming software?
