If the OP is connected to the PLC through a TTY or RS232 interface, a
Y cable is required for simultaneous operation of a printer. The PLC and
printer, in this case, are operated with physically different interfaces.
For attaching Siemens printers, there are standard cables available (refer to
Catalog No. ST80.1). For other printers, you have to use the cables supplied
or specially manufactured ones.
You will find the pin assignments of the plug connectors in appendix D of
this manual.
