IC693CBL303 is a programmer serial cable used to connect the Hand-Held Programmer (HHP) to the serial connector on a PLC Power Supply. This cable is compatible with the IC693PRG300 Hand-Held Programmer and also facilitates connections with the RS-485 serial port on the PLC to the RS-422/RS-485 to RS-232 converter (IC690ACC900).

Function of the Cable:

    This cable allows communication between the Hand-Held Programmer and the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
    It provides power to the HHP and signals the PLC that the HHP is attached to its serial port.
    It can also be used to connect the RS-485 serial port on the PLC to the RS-422/RS-485 to RS-232 converter (IC690ACC900) for extended functionality.

Cable Specifications:

    Length: 6 feet (2 meters)
    Connectors:
        15-pin male D-Subminiature connectors on both ends (Canon DA15S, solder pot).
        Hood: AMP 207470-1 connector shell.
        Hardware Kit: AMP 207871-1, including 2 metric screws and 2 screw clips.
        Cable Type: Belden 9508, AWG #24 (0.22 mm²).

If a longer cable is required, different wire types and specifications should be followed, as outlined in the document. The recommended cable lengths and types include Belden 9309 for custom cables.

Custom Cable Wire Specifications:

    For lengths up to 30 feet (10 meters), Belden 9309 wire is recommended.
    For lengths over 30 feet up to 980 feet (300 meters), the +5V logic power for the converter must be supplied by an external power source. Ensure that the +5V and SG (Signal Ground) connections are isolated from the power supply’s ground.

Wiring Diagram:

The IC693CBL303 cable wiring diagram details the pin-to-pin connections necessary for proper communication between the Hand-Held Programmer, PLC, and any converters (such as the RS-232/RS-485 converter). Jumper connections are made between pins 9 and 10 at both ends of the cable to connect terminating resistors for the RD signal inside the PLC power supply.

Connecting the Cable:

    Attach the 15-pin male D connector to the serial port connector on the PLC power supply.
    Attach the other end of the cable to the Hand-Held Programmer.

This cable is essential for maintaining reliable communication between the Hand-Held Programmer and the PLC, ensuring proper signal transmission and power supply to the HHP.
