G.E. sy max comm cable

RY_Guthrie · Feb 7, 2019

I am trying to connect to a G.E. sy/max plc, the software runs on dos and it is version 2.03. I have a picture of the cable it has NRD on one end and it looks like a d shell 9 pin on both ends? Is this just a standard serial cable or is it a special cable? And if it is a special cable where can I find one? Thanks!

The Sy/max PLC was a Square D product, not GE. Several years ago I had to do some troubleshooting on one. I don't recall having to use a special cable.
Here's a link that may help.

my fault, i have been working with GE and Square D lately as well as Rockwell products so I get them mixed up at times.

that link is for a comms card that I do not have, I have the serial port on the processor its self. Or at least it is a 9 pin d shell type connector, and it uses stop bits, baud rate, crc checking so I think its just a straight serial cable but have not had any luck going on line with it as of yet. Thanks!!

Hi,

This is the cable/adapter I use for programming SY/Max /SquareD stuff...

could not open the picture that was attached, is it a NRd cable, 9 pin d shell?

No it’s a type ICM-200 which is an RS232-RS422 converter... but it does interface with 9 pin D Shell plugs
