Cables

You need an RS-232 adapter cable to connect the computer to the communications cable leading to the CNC machine. The adapter cable may also be used to connect the computer to a serial port expander (ABC switch box). The adapter cable can be plugged into the COM1 or COM2 port, at the back of the main unit.

Note: The cable can be a 9-pin or 25-pin connector at the computer end. The manual contains an illustration of the required wiring pattern for the cable.
