1784-pcm5/b cable upgrade

I currently use a 1784 card to comunicate to my slc 500.I am about to upgrade computers and need to upgrade to a usb cable which cable do i need to get that is equal to a 1784-pcm5/b?
Thanks

The 1784-U2DHP is a USB to DH+ converter.

Please sit down before looking at the price.

Why not use the SLC's serial port? A USB to serial adapter and a null-modem cable is all you need.

That's also a bit of a trick question because the 1784-PCM5 was the able with a 9-pin D-shell connector meant for connecting the PLC-5 Classic processors and their Peer Communication Link connector, which ran DH+ protocol.

You could add a 1784-CP7 adapter to connect to the more familiar round connector on a New Platform PLC-5 or an SLC-5/04. Sadly I think there's a generation who wouldn't know why we called that a "Shuttle adapter".

For the OP's purposes, the 1784-U2DHP will work because it has a round connector that is suitable for connecting to the Channel 1 DH+ connector on the SLC-5/04 controller.

DH+ hardware is expensive because it's low-volume and rapidly aging. But it works.

Thanks for the plug Mickey...

I also have been selling a lot of these kits for the round mini din to DB9 and Phoenix (3 C) http://www.plccable.com/allen-bradley-1784-u2dhp-plc5-1784-pcm6-1784-pcm5-adapter-kit-phoenix/

Its a good work around for accessing the ports when using the U2DHP
