H-100 Setup & Parts List

[star-glider]

There don't seem to be too many examples of H-100 installations here, so I figured I'd share mine in case it helps anyone. The nice thing about the industrial controller is that it has a native DB9 port; the irritating thing is that it's mounted such that you can't close the cover. I saw one guy here physically moved the port, which seemed like a little too much work. :) I just got a simple right-angle adapter to solve the problem, and fortunately I found one that has the right "directionality" to it. The cover now serves the semi-helpful purpose of holding it in the port. Here's what it looks like all done:

I hope this helps any fellow industrial folks!

Thank you to jgyates for such great software and for helping me through a weird dependency issue while I was setting this up. This has been a fun project.
