I need a RS-232 port to send ascii strings to a computer. We don't want to tie up the comm port on the processor. I know the SLC had a BAS module. Is there a simular module for CLX?
Doug,
Our device will send ASCII data to and from your plc tag over EtherNet/IP to serial. Just create a string tag and put your data into it. Really simple and no ladder logic.

I haven't used the above unit, I have used Digi, and I have used the Prosoft module. The prosoft module is probably the easiest, but the converters are cheaper even when you factor in the time spent messing with them.
