connecting with a Click

[cdcjcgal]

I  recently purchesed a new laptop with a com port consisting of 15 pin female conn. I need to download a program into a click which requires a 9 pin male connector. I am assumiong this is a RS 232 conn. Are there adapters or connectors that I need to purchase to connect? It never read the PLC with the adapters that I had purchased. Not sure where to go  from here...Any help would be appreciated. Also, do I need to configure the Com port differently?

The fifteen pin connector is probably a video connector, not a serial port.

most laptops these days do not have a built-in serial port. you will most likely need to purchase a USB-to-serial adapter to make a connection.

To connect to a CLICK there are 2 cables:
- EA-MG-PGM-CBL: If your PC has a USB port.
- D2-DSCBL: If your PC has a 9-pin COM port.

But we (Host Engineering) are not the CLICK PLC experts. We didn't write the software nor design the hardware. The experts are Automation Direct techs. So, if the above doesn't work, you many need to contact them.
