Fit Notes

• Designed only for PLC CPUs equipped with the 15-pin SNP port. If your CPU uses RJ-style serial ports, this cable is not the correct interface.
• For Logicmaster 90 workflows, use a native RS-232 SNP cable and a true PC serial port. USB adapters generally do not support LM90’s DOS communications stack.
• Install the appropriate USB serial (VCP) driver on the host PC; administrator rights may be required.
• When first connecting, confirm the assigned COM port number and match baud/parameters in your programming software (typical defaults: 19.2 kbps, 8-N-1 unless project specifies otherwise).
