This bmp is from Citect help and shows bare minimum for a null modem cable , you may need to change connectors to suit your pc and plc.

Really if you don't enable handshaking you will need only 3 wires: 2-3
3-2
5-5

Just keep in mind that for permanent installations, 1756-CP3 can be used with front processor door closed.

I use an ethernet cable and some RJ45 to 9 pin adapters pinned out for the particular PLC I am using at the time. This way I only have to carry around 1 cable and some adapters. Saves a lot of space in my tool bag.
