Wir ing for Nor mal Sim u la tion Mode

This section describes how to connect the PC/PLC/OIT for Online Simulation in the "Normal" mode. To configure
the OIT using Simulation Mode, you will need an OIT Configuration Cable, Maple P/N 7431-0098. Connect the end
marked "HMI" into Port 2 on the OIT, marked "PLC[RS-485]/ PC[RS-232]," and connect the end marked PC into
the proper COM port on your PC. Plug the end marked "PLC" into the appropriate port on your PLC. See the figure
below for serial port pin assignments and the following two figures on the next page for connecting the Silver Series
to a PC and a PLC.
The following section describes how to connect the PC/OIT for Online-Simulation in the 'Direct' mode.
Note the following restrictions:
Maple Systems' standard communication cables will not work in Direct mode. The 'OIT' end of the cable
must be wired for the PC's serial port.
To simulate protocols using RS422/485, an RS422/485 card must be installed in the PC.
The Allen Bradley DH485 and Telemecanique UniTelWay protocols are not supported in Direct mode.
To configure Direct Online-Simulation, you will need a cable connecting the PC to the PLC. Standard Maple
communication cables will not work. The cable needs to be wired such that the PLC's RX pin(s) is connected to the
PC's TX pin(s), and the PLC's TX pin(s) is connected to the PC's RX pin(s). Any common pins also need to be
brought through, and shield connections should also be made.
Refer to Maple Systems communications cable drawings for guidance, but remember that the OIT end will have to
