Series One - RS232 without a Comm Adapter<?>

I have a IC610CCM105D Data Communications Adapter and I need to connect a RS232 port to it.

G.E.'s book shows that a 232<->422 adapter is needed.

Is there a "trick" cable that can be made to connect to this DCU, which avoids the conversion to RS-422?

I don't know whether or not it will work with what you have, but here's a link to Russ' 'cheater' cable.

Note that the pin designations on the RS-485 side refer to the 15-pin Dsub on a Series 90 PLC. If you adapt it to your situation be sure to match the signal names and not the pins.

Here is the Series One version of the Cheater cable:

Automation Direct's DL305 is the same PLC as the Series One. You might check their website for more information.
