You know the rules!...
What is the catalog number for the PanelView Plus 6 terminal?
You could be using a PanelView Plus 6 400 or 600 with a 1761-NET-AIC+ connected to the SLC 5/02 Channel 1 DH-485.
Or...
You could be using a PanelView Plus 6 700 - 1500 with a 2711P-RN6 module connected to the SLC 5/02 Channel 1 DH-485.

...Using USB To DH485 UIC converter
What driver do I setup in RSlinx Enterprise
to allow me to download the project to the PV...
As the 1747-UIC interface converter is designed to connect to devices using the DH-485 protocol, it cannot be used to transfer MER runtime application files from a workstation to a PanelView Plus terminal. This is because serial DH-485 is not a supported transfer method. You must use either Serial DF1 or Ethernet, if your terminal supports Ethernet, as a connected transfer method.
Alternatively, you can use a USB flash drive or an SD Card as a portable method of transferring application files from your workstation to the terminal.
When attempting a connected transfer method, such as Serial DF1 or Ethernet, to a PanelView Plus 6, you must use the ME Transfer Utility (METU) v7.00, or higher. This utility was introduced at FactoryTalk View Studio v6.10 as a standalone installation. This means that you can install the utility on a workstation without installing FactoryTalk View Studio itself. But it is installed automatically when FactoryTalk View Studio is installed.
As you are using FactoryTalk View Studio v9 your ME Transfer Utility (METU) should be at the latest version.
To setup the communication link, so METU can transfer the application, you must first make a cabled connection and configure the driver in RSLinx Enterprise. If using Serial DF1, for instance, you would need to use a suitable cable from your workstation to the terminal. Again, the 1747-UIC is not suitable here. A 2711-NC13, 2711-NC14 or a 2706-NC13 cable will provide a direct RS-232 DB-9 point-to-point connection. If your workstation does not have a native RS-232 port then you will need to connect a suitable USB to serial adapter cable, such as a 9300-USBS adapter from Rockwell, or equivalent. This connects between one of the above cables and your workstation's USB port of choice.
To configure the Serial DF1 driver in RSLinx Enterprise, or Ethernet, for that matter, go to the Communication Setup and specifically to the Design (Local) tab. This tab is only used to configure communications between your workstation and the terminal. It has nothing to do with communications that will be used at Runtime. That will, obviously, be configured on the other tab - Runtime (Target).
Serial DF1 driver...
I won't go any further on this as it is somewhat detailed and I don't know if you will want to go this route or not just to transfer the application. If you do then let me know if you require further assistance. You could also wish to use the Ethernet method, but as we don't yet know the terminal's catalog number, it may not even be an option here.
To setup the DH-485 communications that will be used at Runtime between the terminal and SLC you, of course, go to the Runtime (Target) tab. You then need to add and configure a DH-485 driver. There are a couple of specifics here in choosing and configuring the correct driver and it will be dependant on which terminal model and communications option you are using.
So again, the catalog number for the terminal is most important here.
Regards,
George
