Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is this cable compatible with the Allen Bradley SLC 500 5/03 CPU?
A1: Yes, it is fully compatible with SLC 5/01, 5/02, 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05 series processors. The 8-pin mini-DIN connector fits the programming port on these CPUs.
Q2: Does this cable require a USB-to-serial adapter?
A2: If your computer does not have a native DB9 serial port, you will need a USB-to-serial adapter. We recommend using a high-quality adapter with FTDI chipset for reliable performance.
Q3: What is the maximum cable length for reliable communication?
A3: The standard 3-meter (9.8 ft) length is optimal for RS-232 communication. Longer cables may introduce signal degradation. For distances beyond 3 meters, consider using a powered RS-232 repeater.
Q4: Can I use this cable with RSLogix 500 software?
A4: Absolutely. The 1747-CP3 cable works seamlessly with RSLogix 500, RSLinx Classic, and other DF1 protocol software. No special drivers are needed.
