Modicon Communication Driver Manual
Cable Diagrams
Communications between the Operator Station and Modbus is RS232C. The recommended maximum
cable length is 50 cable feet. You should construct a communications cable of the desired length for
each connection to be made. Note that the cable configuration is similar for the various Modicon
PLCs and modems.
(You may also use a standard Modicon W190 cable instead of constructing your own.)
A 15-foot PLC cable can be purchased from Cutler-Hammer. Contact the Customer Support Center at
(614) 883-3282 or your local distributor for more information. Refer to the PLC Cabling Cross-
Reference List section for cabling catalog numbers.
The Operator Stations that have 9-pin female connectors (DB-9S) must have cables configured with
male connectors (DB-9P).
Note:
For PanelMate PC applications, a female 9-pin connector is required for connecting to a male
9-pin port. To quickly convert a Cutler-Hammer cable for PC use, simply attach the 9-pin
Gender Changer found in the PanelMate PC Runtime Kit.
