DELTA USB-ACAB230 (USB-DVP) | USB to MD8 DVP PLC Programming Converter Cable — 3M
The Delta USB-ACAB230 (also known as USB-DVP) is a USB-to-RS232 converter programming cable for Delta DVP Series PLCs. It emulates a traditional serial COM port via USB, allowing modern laptops and PCs without a native serial port to program and monitor DVP PLCs directly.

- MD8 / Mini-DIN 8-Pin (round, male) on PLC side — connects directly to DVP Series PLC COM1 port
- Dual-colour TX/RX LED indicator on converter box — visual confirmation of data transmission/reception
- USB bus powered — no external power supply needed; power drawn from PC USB port
- 3-metre cable — suitable for standard workbench and panel programming tasks
