Hi, how can i communicate AB 1400 PLC and Delta HMI B series using VGA 9 pin?

[EPHRAIM]

Hi, please I wish to understand something, I understand communication for AB 1400 and Delta HMI can be achieved using RS 232 communication cable and wiring the pins according to HMI manual specifications. Now I don’t have RS 232 communication cable, but I have VGA 9 pin male and female communication,

Please any idea on how I can communicate the PLC and HMI using 9 pin VGA male and female?

Good morning @EPHRAIM,

I've never seen a VGA cable that wasn't 15 pins.

That said, PLC to HMI 9 Pin Serial cable is a standard serial cable you can purchase for $5, so why not just use the correct cable, or wire up your own using 9 Pin D Shell connectors which cost pennies?

Best of luck!
