After all setting is complete, users can connect a PLC to a communication port specified through a
communication cable. Some common ways to connect a PLC to a communication port, and some
points for attention are listed below. Please refer to PLC manuals for more information about
connecting PLCs to communication ports.
1. DVP series PLC (RS232)
A computer is connected to a DVP series PLC through a Delta communication cable. The
connection type that a driver uses is RS232.
Note: Users have to make sure that the communication protocol for exchanging data through a
driver is the same as the communication protocol for exchanging data through a
communication port on a PLC before they connect the driver to the PLC.
2. DVP-SX2 series PLC (USB)
A DVP-SX2 series PLC is equipped with a type B mini USB interface. Users can connect a
DVP-SX2 series PLC to a computer with a USB cable. Owing to the fact that a DVP-SX2 series
PLC converts USB to RS232, the RS232 standard for serial communication is adopted. The
connection type that a driver uses must be RS232.
Note:
(a) Users have to make sure that the USB driver for a DVP-SX2 series PLC has been installed on
a computer. Please refer to appendix A for more information.
