MOSCAD to Wonderware - Pinout?
MOSCAD to Wonderware - Pinout?
(OP)
Hello Motorola MOSCAD fans! I saw that with tongue in cheek.
We are configuring a new Wonderware HMI data acquisition server. It will either communicate with a MOSCAD Series 400 CPU via 9-pin serial port, or via a serial-to-TCP bridge device. It was suggested to me that the DB-9 cable for this purpose (Wonderware HMI as master, MOSCAD FIU as slave) has a special pinout. I have the MOSCAD Appendix A (RS232 Adapter Cables) document, and I assume the pinout is per PDF page 175 titled "connection to a computer or terminal". Can anyone confirm that this is the correct approach?
I have also been told that that pinout varies from the pinout we use to download applications to MOSCAD (via local computer port). Neither pinout is straight-through. Can anyone confirm that there are indeed two separate non-straight pinouts for these two purposes?
Thanks so much for any advice or confirmation.

RE: MOSCAD to Wonderware - Pinout?
Has anyone had success connecting a MOSCAD Series 400 CPU (as FIU), using the Modbus MB2MPLC1 flash file, via a 3rd party protocol converter (serial-to-TCP) in order to use ModbusTCP I/O servers for monitoring and control?
