We have an old machine that we need to get running. It has a PLC5/10 processor with a DE9 9-pin DH+ (I believe) connector for programming. I've done a little googling and think I need a 1770-KF2 module and I'll to make up a couple of cables to connect it to the DH+ and the PC (via a USB/serial converter). Can anyone confirm if this will work or if there is a better solution? I've seen the 1770-KF2 modules on eBay for around $30.
