[?]: 1747-pic Interface Schematic

molehiya · Post by **molehiya** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 11:49 am

I need AB 1747-pic interface schematic to make my own slc500/01 and slc500/02 pc - plc cable. Is anybody have it ?

That will be great, but i have never seen a home made PIC working.

It is a 485 network, but it uses AB propietary protocol.

Just like MPI cables, you can make a PPI cable, it is only rs232 -> 485 but MPI uses special commands included in the cable.

Thank you.. I will not waste my time to search this schematic anymore..

One more question...

Is it possible to make " home made usb cable " for slc500 plc series? Any schematics about that?

Thanks for your replies..

Two years ago I've seen this article somewhere (I don't remember the site):

If you personal want to play around with AB SLC500 without buying the PIC from AB, you can make one in cheaper price. The following is what you need:
a) RS232->RS485 converter. I'm using IC-485SI.
b) RJ45 plug.
c) min. 4 core screen cable for connecting between the Converter and the RS45 plug.
i) Connect terminal 1 (T+), terminal 4 (R+) on conv. to pin 1 of RJ45.
ii) Connect term. 2 (T-), term. 3 (R-) on conv. to pin 2 of RJ45 plug.
iii) GND on converter to pin 4 & 7 of RJ45 plug.
iv) Shield connect to pin 6 of RJ plug.
Crab the RJ plug upright with the metal connector facing you, Pin 1 to 8 is counting from left to right.
Turn the switches on the converter to DCE and T-RTS/R-RTS.
It works fine with SLC500/01 through RSLinx and RSLogix500.
Good Luck.

"Each SLC 5/01 processor has a DH-485 port for programming and processor-to-processor communication initiated from the other node."

So it only needs a 485 converter, it will not work with the others SLC unles they are first configurated as DH485.

If the ports are not configured as 485 or RS-232 you will need the PIC.

"SLC 5/02, SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04 and SLC 5/05 processors have communication ports (Ethernet, DH+, DH-485, or RS-232-C) that can initiate communication."

You can download 1747-PIC PCB and Diagram here http://plcforum.uz.ua//17 ... B.rar.html
It includes a Spy port to ripe PLC password if you have ploblems asked me raphbarj@yahoo.com
