Chapter 5 Communication Connections
Use Modems with
Micro800 Controllers
Serial modems can be used with the Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870
controllers.
Making a DF1 Point-to-Point Connection
You can connect the Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 programmable
controller to your serial modem using an Allen-Bradley null modem serial cable
(1761-CBL-PM02) to the controller’s embedded serial port together with a
9-pin null modem adapter – a null modem with a null modem adapter is
equivalent to a modem cable. The recommended protocol for this configuration
is CIP Serial.
Construct Your Own Modem Cable
If you construct your own modem cable, the maximum cable length is 15.24 m
(50 ft) with a 25-pin or 9-pin connector. Refer to the following typical pinout for
constructing a straight-through cable:
