Please tell us the complete catalog number of your SLC. SLC5/01, SLC5/02, SLC5/03, SLC5/04, SLC5/05 ?

Also tell us what software if any do you have and what version are they.

See link below for the hardware manual

Offline files by default are stored

C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSLogix 500 English\Project

With a .RSS extension.

But that can be changed to your liking.

and does your programming computer have a REAL serial/com port on it - or are you going to need to use a USB-to-serial adapter? ...

also - what version of Windows software will you be using? ...

It is slc500 with 504 processor, yes it does have a serial port so would the pcmia cable work better? Thanks

The easiest way to communicate with your SLC5/04 is thru it's serial port. Use a null-modem cable. Using the DF1 driver in RSLinx if the serial port is configured for DF1 protocol.

You can use the 1784-PCMK card to connect to the processors DH+ port. Is that what you have?

Do you know how the serial port on your SLC5/04 is set-up?
