Hey all, long time reader but first time poster here. I've been tasked with an odd one and was wondering if anyone else had experience in this.
I've got a SLC5/03 with a Panelview on the DB9 port with no option to remove. I can connect to it via the RJ45 DH485 port with a PIC or AIC+ adapter and go online with RSLogix without a problem.
I have been tasked with making this PLC monitorable via the network. I've tried a NET-ENI (which does DF1 to Ethernet/IP) with both the PIC and AIC+ adapter and no dice, I see the NET-ENI in linx but it doesn't see the SLC.
The UIC/AIC+ driver I use in Linx doesn't work when I try to set it up with a virtual COM port so ethernet to RS232 serial hosts haven't worked for me so far.
Anyone ever made this work? At some point it makes more sense to upgrade to a SLC5/05, but I'm hoping to find a cheaper option. Much thanks for taking the time to read my post.
