Can anyone help on a SLC 5/03 issue??

[kgbrown36]

I have a Allen Bradley DTAM Plus connected to a SLC 5/03 through the DH-485 port. Can I connect my laptop to the SLC 5/03 RS-232 port while the DTAM is connected?? And if so will the 1747-CP3 be the cable I need to make the connection? or do I need something in between the two??
Thanks Ken

Yes and Yes

I'm pretty sure you can connect with the DTAM connected. I'm not sure of the cable part number, but any 9-pin cable should work with a null modem attached, I think.

Thank you for the quick reply. I thought I ask someone knowledgable before trying. I didn't want to burn up my computer. Thanks
