The connection between your (IBM) computer and the Hitachi PLC is done with one piece cables or through different combinations of cables.

One-Piece Direct Cables:

Actcab-H2 for Hitachi series H
Actcab-EC2 for Hitachi series EC
Actcab-EH2 for EH150 and EH-MICRO
Actcab-EMII for Hitachi series EMII

 

Actcab H2: 9 pin []---------[] DB 15 m To H Series

 

 

Actcab EC2: 9 pin  []---------[] DIN mini 9 To EC Series

 

 

Actcab EH: 9 pin   []---------[] RJ Type) Modular 8 pin To EH 150 & EH-MICRO

 

 

Actcab EMII: 9 pin  []---------[] DB 9 m To EMII (CPME3)

 

 

Combination cables:

The ACTCAB-MAIN/EB cable is always present. This cable is 2m long. The other cables are much shorter (10-30cm). The ACTCAB-9/25 is only needed if your computer has a 9 pin serial connector. Otherwise it is not needed.

The other cables (ACTCAB-H, -EM3, -PGMJR, -EC) are connected in the PLC end of ACTCAB-MAIN/EB depending on which PLC is used. Only the cable is designed for the used PLC is necessary. To connect to series EB COM port, no cable other cable except ACTCAB-MAIN/EB is needed.
