Use Modems with
Micro800 Controllers
Serial modems can be used with the Micro830 and Micro850 controllers.
Making a DF1 Point-to-Point Connection
You can connect the Micro830 and Micro850 programmable controller to your
serial modem using an Allen-Bradley null modem serial cable
(1761-CBL-PM02) to the controller’s embedded serial port together with a
9-pin null modem adapter – a null modem with a null modem adapter is
equivalent to a modem cable. The recommended protocol for this configuration
is CIP Serial.
Construct Your Own Modem Cable
If you construct your own modem cable, the maximum cable length is 15.24 m
(50 ft) with a 25-pin or 9-pin connector. Refer to the following typical pinout for
constructing a straight-through cable:
Configure Serial Port
You can configure the Serial Port driver as CIP Serial, Modbus RTU, ASCII or
Shutdown through the Device Configuration tree in Connected Components
Work ben ch .
Micro800 controllers do not support more than one hop (for example,
from EtherNet/IP → CIP Serial → EtherNet/IP).
