Here is a link to an old Medoc version you can download

The cable is an SC-09 that can be purchased from your local Mitsubishi
dealer.

The Fx 20p cab is a programming lead of sorts but not what you need.
The FX 20p E is a hand held programmer that the fx20p-cab fits into. (The lead also fits beijers HMI's)

The hand held programmer only programs in 'statement list' not ladder. This is probably not the way to go for a beginner (I am presuming you are a beginner)

As stated, the lead you need is called an SC-09. They are not cheap, $100

Software:
GX Developer 7 (support win2000, XP)
Cable:
SC09 232-422 converter cable
Good Luck!

Where would I be able to purchase the sc09 and Developer 7. Mitsubishi has the cable for sc09, but isn't there a cheaper place? How much is this software going to cost me?

Try
SC-09 ebay

or a little cheaper
SC-05 ebay
The SC-05 is the same thing as the SC-09 except it doesn't come with the FX-20P-CADP attachment which you will not need if your plc has a 422 port.
If you don't want to use the old dos based medoc software the cheapest software I know of is the FX WIN software which isn't too bad. They gave me a free copy after I bought an fx0 plc from them on ebay for $35 dollars. You may want to check there website they use to offer a free version. It would only allow you to program 800 steps though.

BTW: no I don't work for ebay

My PLC doesn't have a 9 pin RS422 port but it does have a 25 pin RS232 port. The SC-05 will not work without the attachment then?

jdkasper · May 20, 2003

The 25 pin port on the FX80MR is an rs-422 that will work with the SC-05 cable.

charlesfan · May 21, 2003

the SC09 Cable:
DB9 side: 232 PC COM Port
DB25 Side: 422 PLC Prog Port
the easy way is using four-five resistors instead the IC in the cable, many chinese guy use this method, not sure for all Mitsubishi PLC.
