MicroLogix 1400 Channel 0 to Modem Cable Pinout
When connecting MicroLogix 1400 Channel 0 to a modem using an RS-232
cable, the maximum that the cable length may be extended is 15.24 m (50 ft).
Constructing 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:
ATTENTION: Do not connect pins 1 and 8. This connection will
cause damage to the RS-232/485 communication port (channel 0)
of the MicroLogix 1400 and/or the controller itself.
