Guest RedStinger Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 Hi Guys, I have a TSX 3710 PLC. I am downloading the PL7 demo software (125Mb) from Modicon's website. I want to build the cable to plug my PC to the TSX 3710. As extra data, the TSX 3710 has a "minidin 8" female connector. Do you know where I can get information to built the cable? Thx in advance RedStinger Quote
Crossbow Posted January 24, 2004 Report Posted January 24, 2004 This cable has an RS232 to RS485 converter built in. The PLC's serial port is RS485. You're going to have a hell of a time building one that works. The cable from Modicon TSXPCX1031 only lists for $150. You'd be better off to buy it. Or find a local distributor or user who could lend you one. Quote
guillencito Posted November 4, 2004 Report Posted November 4, 2004 Hey, I have a custom made cable for the TSX Nano and I have a diagram for it! I can send it by e- mail! Regards! Quote
Crossbow Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 I'd like a copy of it too... I have a drawing that is supposed to show the wiring of the factory cable TSXPCU1030. But I would like to see the pinouts you've got... email them to me if you can! Quote
guillencito Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 Hi, Chris As soon I bring the diagram from my home, it will be sent to you. I have the pinout for TSX Nano (I think it must be the same as your PLC) I'll send it too! Quote
Guest Janus Posted November 9, 2004 Report Posted November 9, 2004 Hi I'm new in plc's. We have one Modicon Nano plc and PL7-07 software, but i dont know how to make a cable for the Nano. Can you send me the diagram for this cable to edvbaks@merkys.ktu.lt ? sorry for mi bad Englisch:) Quote
guillencito Posted November 9, 2004 Report Posted November 9, 2004 Here are the diagrams and pinouts. This cable was designed to use in a siemens S7 PLC, but it is only a converter from 485 to 232 (the same as TSX) You only need to change the PLC port connector from DB-9 to MiniDIN. Other choice is if you use a rs232 to rs485 converter. I used the B&B Electronics 485LDRC, it costs only about $130. S7_Comm_cable.zip Quote
Crossbow Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 As I stated earlier... I would just buy the cable... I got a quote for the TSXPCX3030 USB cable at about $125. Why pay more for a serial converter and have to build your own? Guess maybe I'm getting lazy in my old age... Quote
lazy Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 (edited) I have posted a pinout for some of the standard cables on the Modicon Manuals Download Section....hope it helps???? Chris, where did you get that quote from as they are a lot more expensive here..... Edited November 12, 2004 by lazy Quote

Crossbow Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 That's not a cable you can easily make, it has electronics inside it to convert. As I said 12 years ago on this topic. Did you read before you posted a reply? Quote
