I am new to Allen Bradley .
I have a SLC 500 unit that I need to setup communication to and upload the program to a laptop for a backup and to use as a learning tool for AB software.
The Cat # of the unit is 1747-l40A .
I have the RS linx and Rs logic softwares.
The laptop has serial and paraell ports and 1784-pcmk card.
I also have P/N 96993801-AO1 cable with an adapter for 9 pin to a mini round 8 pin connection.
the problem is that I find on the plc a connection similar to a phone jack.
What do I need to communicate and how should I setup the laptop for this particular plc.
banghead
I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance
Richard
