2.0 Conversion Guide
Often times KEP is asked to give the cable pin out for SMIC cables that have converter boxes in the middle. It
becomes impractical for the user to make the cable electronics but some insist on trying. Usually a
manufacturers programming cable to connect a PC RS232 port to the Controller is the same configuration as
our SMIC cable. The SMIC cable is usually less expensive than the manufacturers in these instances. However
the SMIC cannot be used with a PC. This is because the SMIC draws it power from the ZOID or MMI product
using it. Below is a list of cables with conversion type to use as a reference.
