Connecting Your PC to the ControlLogix Processor

There are several ways to establish communication between your PC and the
ControlLogix processor. The following steps show how to establish
communication through the serial interface. It is not mandatory that you use the
processor's serial interface. You may access the processor through whatever
network interface is available on your system. Refer to your Rockwell Automation
documentation for information on other connection methods.

1 Connect the right-angle connector end of the cable to your controller at the

communications port.

2 Connect the straight connector end of the cable to the serial port on your

computer.
