Your feeling is correct, with a pre-made cord it should wire black to
"120/240 VAC" white to "VAC Neut" and green to ground.
You also need to make sure the 120/240 volt jumper is in the 120 volt
position. As always, more information can be found by going to
http://www.ab.com/, then following the links to Publications Library -
Manuals On-line.

Oh wait, isn't AC power source the same on either wire? Why is black and
white wire being differentiated? I thought the two are interchangeable for
AC power?
Suppose I don't have a premade cable but only a cable with the three prongs
(ie. your standard computer power cable). How do I make sure the right wire
of the three goes to the correct pin?

Power is traditionally distributed as 240V centertapped. White is the
centertap, at most a few volts between it and a water pipe. Black is
"hot". That's who polarized plugs are required. Sometimes, when both run
together, blue or red is the other hot.
It's all in the code, which is a good thing to know about if you mess
with the stuff. How much current is allowed in a wired circuit using #12
wire? How much is allowed in a #12 extension cord? (It's not the same.)
If such restrictions are ignored and there's a fire, insurance might not
cover it.

Just cut the end off the computer power cable. In the US you will normally
find a black wire that measures 120 VAC to both ground (the green wire) and
neutral (the white wire). The ground and neutral are often tied together in
the breaker box.
With so much equipment coming from Asia, where they sell into worldwide
markets, the power cord you cut up may not have black, white, and green
wires. In this case the hot lead will be brown, the neutral will be blue,
and the ground will be green with a yellow trace.

Ok, just to recap. Once I cut the end off the computer cable, I should get
three conducting wire out of it. The important one is the one that goes to
ground, which
according the the diagram above should be the bottom middle one labeled as
'C'. The other two (A &B) goes to live AC 120V and polarity doesn't matter
(Canada). Right?
By the way, I will check continuity with a multimeter to make sure the wires
are correct. I just spend quite a bit of $ to pick up a AB SLC500 and
don't want
anything bad to happen to it. |

Looking at the convenience outlet on the wall, A (the longer slot) is
neutral, B is the hot lead, C is the ground. As I recal, the electrical
codes in Canada are the same as the US.
Pick up a cheap meter, if you are working with PLC's it'll be handy. A to C
should be a few volts. A to B should read ~120 VAC. B to C should read ~120
VAC.

It is best to use a fixed-width font for newsgroups, and almost
imperative for ASCII art of any kind. "Courier New" is a good choice.
