Anybody remember the PLC-2? I have one (for learning purposes)and would like to use my PC instead of the bulky T3 terminal to program it. I think I have software that will allow me to do it but I don't know how to hook up the computer.
The software is Taylor Proworx from Taylor Industrial Control. I have all the manuals explaining how to use it but I am missing the "how to connect" feature. Mainly I don't understand all the options from Allen Bradley concerning their Data Highway.
So here is my question. What module do I need to connect a PC (rs232) to an AB PLC2? I have a 1771 KE, and ordered (Ebay) the 1771 KA2; are they any use?
Thank you for your time and help;

PS: You might have remembered me posting questions about the 1747-UIC a few weeks back. It turns out the unit was defective. I'm not sure when AB will get me a replacement. The salesman said the "leadtime" is 4 weeks. He implied that when AB says 4 weeks it means "uncertain".
