I recently inherited some 5/04 CPUs and a single 5/02 CPU that I need to pull the programs from. The 5/04 CPUs didn't pose any problems. I simply connected directly to the RS232 port on the 5/04 from the RS232 port on my laptop and used the RSLinx DF-1/DH-485 driver.
The 5/02 gives me pause, since it only has an RJ45 port for DH-485. I was wondering if it's possible to connect my laptop directly to the 5/02 using a modular RS232 to RJ45 adapter and the RSLinx DH-485 driver. I don't want to buy a 1747-PIC adapter for a one-time use if I don't have to.
