I am trying to connect USB to RS232 cable to the RS232CAB that is used with the Alpha series PLC. I am getting a failed to open com port error. Is there a driver for this or will Melsec easysocket driver work? I have not tried to install any other software other than AL-PCS win.
 
There should be a driver installed for the USB to RS232 converter. The driver is usually installed before you connect the converter.
I would plug your USB to RS232 converter into the computer. Call up device manager in windows and look at the Ports section. You should see if the port is ready for communication or not.

Hope this helps you out.
Regards,
Garry
