Hello,
I've got some CNC control software (G-Code interpreter, etc) used for retrofitting lathes, mills etc... It has the capability to be a modbus RTU master and can communicate with PLC's as a slave and utilize their IO.
According to the DL250 CPU manual, you have to setup the 2nd port on the CPU (15pin high density) and set it to modbus. All I have right now is the standard 9pin to 'phone jack' programming cable that plugs into port1 on the CPU.
Will modbus only work through the 2nd port (15pin HD)?
AD looks to be out of stock of the cable that I need. However, they do have;

Can I use this to adapt my programming cable to port 2 and then use modbus comminications? Thanks for any help.
