Configure the 1769-ASCII Module

Connect to Channel 0 of the
Module in Alternating Mode

This example program illustrates connecting the serial cable from your computer
to channel 0 of the 1769-ASCII module in alternating mode.

For more detailed information about the Alternate and Simultaneous modes, see

I/O Memory Mapping on page 71

TIP

See

Connect the D-sub Connector Pins on page 18

for detailed information on

how to build the appropriate cable for the RS-232 connection between PC with
a serial port and the 1769-ASCII module D-sub connector.

TIP

If your computer does not have an RS-232 port, you can use a USB to RS-232
adapter.
