I am trying to set up communication between a panelmate 1700 and contrologix PLC using DH+. I have set-up the mapping in the processor and I updated the drivers in the PM but I am still not communicating? What am I missing?

How should the Panelmate know the Slot number of the PLC? You have to use the Gateway functionality of the 1756-DHRIO Card (configure in RsLinx)
 
Very good point, Klaus.

The 1756-DHRIO module can communicate with a ControlLogix CPU in any slot of the chassis if and only if the incoming message has routing information in it to designate the slot.

I expect that the PanelMate doesn't have that routing information in it's DH+ driver.

Fortunately, the default CPU slot number in the 1756-DHRIO is Slot 0, and most users place the CPU in Slot 0 just out of habit.

Test the DH+ communication with a PLC-5 or SLC-5/04 first, if you have the chance, then try to migrate it to the 1756-DHRIO and ControlLogix.
