Now that I have the PLM-ADIN and have it installed, how do i get my magnetic wires hooked up? I see theres a cable along with a little adapter.

Thanks!

Connect the lead of your read switch to a female db-9 connector on one of the analog input

Do I buy the female db-9 from radioshack?

yes you could if you dont have one, you could also use a network cable and cut one end, you you will have to map out the pins

i used the network cable method...easy...

cut the end off..splice some wires...good to go...

So I just wire the Ethernet cable to my magnetic switches directly? Is there a diagram anywhere? And is the connection it came for for using on a computer to trigger things?

You need to take wire 7 and 8 (analog input 2)

here is diagram of the pin layout:

connect one of the 2 wires on each side of the terminal on the switch

I connected each wire of the magnetic switch to the 7 8, one goes to 7 the other goes to 8, and i assigned voltage 1 to the socket that a light is plugged in to, but im not sure how its supposed to turn on/off the light. Im messing with settings in the PLC but i dont see anything happening when the switches come in contact and then break the contact

Thank you so much boboxx! Got it working now!

no problem...

for any one else wanting to connect a switch, you have to use pin 2,3,4,5 + ground
