IC693CBL303
Hand-Hand Programmer and Converter (IC690ACC900) Cable
Function of cable
The Hand-Held Programmer cable provides the connections that allow the Hand-Held Programmer
and the Programmable Logic Controller to communicate. This cable also provides the power
connections for the HHP, and a signal which indicates to the PLC that the HHP is attached to the
PLC serial port. It can also be used to connect the RS-485 serial port on the PLC to the RS-
422/RS-485 to RS-232 converter (IC690ACC900).
Cable Specifications
The prewired cable (IC693CBL303) is 6 feet (2 meters) long. If a different length cable is required
for connection to the converter, refer to the information below for specifications and wiring
information.
This information is essential if you intend to build your own cable. The recommended cable types
for this cable are listed below and depend on the length of the cable.

converter cannot be supplied by the PLC. It must be provided by an
external power supply connected to the +5V and SG pins at the converter end of
the connector. The +5V pin at the PLC connector must not be connected to the
cable. The +5V and SG connections from the power supply must be isolated from
its own power line ground connection. Be sure that there is no connection between
the external supply and the PLC except the SG cable connection.
Catalog numbers are provided as suggestions only. Any cable having the same electrical characteristics is acceptable.
It is strongly recommended that you use stranded wire. Since it is sometimes hard to find a cable with the desired
number of twisted pairs (the Belden 9309 has an extra pair), you may end up with a cable with extra pairs.
A greater cable length between the PLC and the converter increases the possibility of noise coupling into the data and
converter logic power circuits within the cable. The cable should be as short as possible in noisy environments. In
extreme cases, additional noise protection measures, such as double-shielded cables, may be required.
