Hi all, I have a SLC 5/02 that's been gathering dust for the past couple years that I want to have some fun with. The only problem is I don't have a 1747-UIC cable (which yes can be purchased easily enough on eBay).
My question is can I use any USB to RS485 converter? Is it RSLinx that adds the DH485 protocol on top of RS485 physical electrical standard, or does the 1747-UIC have a special chip inside of it that handles the DH485 conversion?
