Omron CPM1 communication
(OP)
My laptop has not a serial port, it only has two USB ports. How can I connect my computer with PLC?. The PLC is a OMRON CPM1-20CDR-A.

USB to serial converters can be a pain but a lot depends on your computer hardware. I have an HP and a lot of converters do not work properly. The Omron one does.
If you have RSLinks, make sure you set it up to start as a service. It plays merry hell with lots of software. If you have used it, restart your computer before using anything else.
Some software will also grab an internal modem as a com port. Disable the internal modem and all is well.
