Intended Purpose
The TK503 Programming Cable connects the USB interface of a PC with the serial interface of an AC500 CPU. It is
used for programming purposes.
The Programming Cable TK503 can be used with all AC500-CPUs.
NOTE
With AC500-CPUs, only the ABB programming cables TK50x can be used. Other cables may
cause communication faults and must not be used.
NOTE

Electrical Connection
1. Install the device driver for the TK503 Programming Cable. The driver and a detailed installation description can
be found on PS501 CD in directory
