Issue
Communicating to I/NET on a direct connect requires a cable that has to be connected from the PC to the controller.
Product Line
TAC INET
Environment
All versions of I/NET using Direct Connect to controllers.
Cause
Connecting to a controller from a PC if there are no Net Plus Routers for connectivity over the Ethernet. If a 7798C controller is being used then another programming cable needs to be used for the virtual HHC on that PC.
Resolution
To resolve this a cable part number CBL-072 connected to the PC and controller. To obtain the various part numbers for the cables, connecting to the iPortal and searching on %CBL% should bring up the required information. Maximum supported cable length is 25 feet (7.62 meters). ***See the comment below on the CBL-072***
- Part number for the direct connect is CBL-072
The pin-out for this cable is shown below:
- Part number for the 7798C is CBL-082
The pin-out for this cable is shown below:
Note: CBL072 is for direct connect between the computer and controller. CBL-082 is for programming with Virtual HHC.

***The CBL-072 looks to be no longer available From Schneider Electric (9/2017) ***
You have two choices on the CBL-072:
1) Build a new CBL-072 using the Pin-out above.
2) Convert a CBL-082 into a CBL-072 (see steps below)
To convert a CBL-082 into a CBL-072, cut the “Gray” wire connected to pin 5 on the D-Sub 9 connector at the PC end.
Then remark the cable label to avoid future confusion on its use.
