Hi, First time working with a D0-06 series (more used to the 05's but still very much a novice overall). The 05's come with two "phone " jack plugs or whatever they are called (RJ45?) for Port1 & 2 serial ports and I use one for a C-more and the other to program with. On the 06, one of the ports is RJ45 and the other is a regular serial connection (DB9?). I have programming cables that use the RJ45 connector, none with the DB9 (and the C-more needs a RJ45). Is my only option, in order to program the PLC without interrupting the connection to the HMI, to get a programming cable with the DB9? I don't even really see an option to purchase such a cable on their website. Any other way to go? I don't even see an option to buy a module with the RJ45 connector. Thanks, BB

Use a FA-15HD as an adapter between the 15 pin port and a RJ12 (not RJ45) jack. Then plug your cable into that.

Another option (depending upon your distance between the C-more panel and the PLC) is the EA-2CBL-1. It is designed specifically for that purpose.
So you can use your existing cable to program the PLC on port 1 and plug the C-more panel into port 2.
