Hi to All AB User/s,
I want to learn basic programming in AB plc but the problem is my Company's Siemens Field PG (6ES7710-3DA12-1BE1) cannot communicate in our old factory control AB PLC-5 (1785-L40E/E Rev C01 Series E F/W Rev A).
I already fabricate cable based on the manual/s that I downloaded thru AB website. Cable pin-out for 1784-CP10 and 1784-CP11. I also configure the Switch 1 and Switch 2 to address node 1 and RS232C communication, respectively.
When I try to communicate using RSLinx the PLC-5/40E was detected but with faulty as status. And when I download the program in the PLC using RS5Logix ver 6.2 the timeout was activated because the PLC cannot be detect by the Simatic PG.
Please shed some light for me.
Thanks,
neziu....
