1761 net-aic

I'm trying to make connection via 1761 NET-AIC interface converter.

Devices which I want to connect are PLC 1747 L532 SLC 5/03/ and PanelView PLUS 600.

I'm using cable 2711-NC13 between PanelView PLUS 600 and NET-AIC converter.
Between PLC and NET-AIC converter cable is 1761-CBL-AS09.

And from 1761 NET-AIC converter to PC USB to DH485 interface converter with cable 1761-CBL-PM02,SER C

In RS Linx, I configured driver DH485 UIC and I can see PLC and PanelView.

Problem is when I try to make device shortcut in Factory Talk View Studio.
RS Linx Enterprise doesn't see PLC.

I tryed in design(local) to add driver Serial DH485(including 2711P-RN3, 2711P-RN22C) and than pop up window with Serial DH485 Properties.
So I'm able to type Name, Station Number Max.Station Number,Com.Port, Baud.
After that I add SLC DH485 devices 1747-L523,SLC 5/03 Processor.

But after all I don't can see anything on that network, so I am not able to make connection between PanelView and PLC.

Can somebody help me? What I'm doing wrong?

I attached few pictures of hardware.

RSLinx Enterprise has limited support for DH485 networking.

You can create and run a "Serial DH485" network connection from the PanelView Plus serial port and a 1761-NET-AIC using a driver configured on the Runtime(Target) tab of RSLinx Enterprise.

But you cannot create and run a "Serial DH485" network driver on the Design(Local) tab. RSLinx Enterprise does not support the Serial DH485 driver on ordinary Windows desktop computers.

I have not tested the 1747-UIC in conjunction with the PV+ or RSLinx Enterprise in several years, but when I tried it, it didn't work. RSLinx Classic and RSLinx enterprise cannot share the same serial or USB hardware.

Ken I appreciate your help very much.

I already tryed with 1747 UIC through 1761 NET-AIC, and I see both devices( PLC and PV+), but only in RS Linx.

If I try to make connection in RSLinx Enterprise and add device and driver either in Local or Target, I can't see PLC 1747 SLC-5/03 is on the network.
So I'm not able to connect PV+ aplication with PLC tags.

I'm not sure did I understand you very well?
What do you mean, is it possible to make that work?
And if it is possible could you give me some directions?

It is not possible to "online browse" the SLC-5/03 data tables in your FactoryTalk View development environment because RSLinx Enterprise cannot run a DH485 driver on your PC.

It is possible to configure the Serial DH485 driver on the Runtime(Target) tab and manually type in the SLC-5/03 data table addresses in the FactoryTalk View project. This will allow your PV+ to communicate with the SLC-5/03.

Create a simple test project that only reads N7:0 out of the SLC-5/03 and displays it onscreen, and test with that.

Thanks Ken, I will try to do like you said.
