Looking for knowledge if it is possible to connect a PC through a 1747-PIC ser A to a SLC 5/04 8 pin mini din (DH485).
Everything I have looked into says this should work. I did connect with a 1756-CP3 cable but the 9 pin is used for a HMI which I would like to keep interfacing and go on-line. I don't have a PCMK or 1747-CP3 cable for USB port.
What I have and know:
IBM Thinkpad with Windows 2000 Professional
version 5.0.2195 service pack 4 build 2195
Real Serial Port
Do not run RSLinx as a service.
Do not run PIC and DF1 drivers at the same time.
Running RSLinx Classic Gateway
I stopped the AB_DF1-1 DH485 Sta:0 Com 1 for the 1756-CP3 cable
Loaded 1747-PIC / AIC+ driver
setup as: COM1 - baud 19200 - sta 00 - max 31 Didn't check on "for com port exclusive use by this driver"
AB_PIC-1 is running and I see the PIC in RSwho (of course - not connected to anything yet)
I am thinking that I can connect an 8 pin mini din (male cap) to a male RJ47 (female)plug for which to plug a 1747-C10 ser B cable into, that is plugged into the PIC.
(sorry - I wrote it and had to read it twice)
Will this work?
If so, can someone tell me what or where to go to for the pin-out for the connection of the 8 pin DH485 (at processor) to the 1747-C10 ser B cable, that is attached to the PIC?
I wish I could just take a chance and try it but there is no room for mistakes.
Also, I learned that RS485 and ethernet (8-pin) cable jacks are not the same. I can see no difference. What is the difference? For this temp setup, I would like to use an 8 pin female ethernet plug to plug the 1747-C10 cable into. What should I expect if I do this?
I am new to this site and find it very helpful. So far all of my knowledge has come from old threads. I am impressed with what I have learned with the many searches.
Of course this starts me thinking. If this is possible, then can I connect to a PLC 5/40 in the same manner? I plan to make a 1784-CP10 cable anyway. No problem with using this. This was just a thought.
Thanks, ahead of time
