I am having problems getting my panelview 1000 to communicate with my slc 500, 5/04. I can load programs from my lap top to the pv 1000 but I am having problems getting the pv to communicate with my slc.

Does any one know of any good videos I can buy or free that will help me set up communications for my pv to my slc 500?

What is the part number of your panelview?

bright676 · Feb 16, 2013

It is;

2711-T10C8 FRN 4.10

Your PV supports DH+ protocol. See PDF below for how to connect them together.

Baud rates for the PV and SLC must be the same, node addresses must be different.

Note termination resistors on both ends of the network. ( 150 ohms at 57.6kb and 82 ohms at 115.2 /230.4kb baud rates)

This is weird now. I was checking the baud rate of my SLC and when doing auto config in RsLinx it is comes up as 1200. In the past it was 19200. I manually set the baud to 57.6 and it would not work. Why would this change?

I just checked the channel config of the slc program I want to add the pv 1000 to and under channel one-system it says 57.6.

The pv 1000 in config mode - communication set up it say node 2 baud is 57.6.

I think I need a little more guidance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, what does the resistor do?

1200 is the default for the DF1 serial port
57.6 is the default for the DH+ port

In the Panel View when you set the node number in the for the "tag" for the PLC it must match the node set in the PLC.

Would that be in the tag editor?

No
First you setup the PV's communcation. It's node address and baud rate and give the node a name. See picture below.
Then create a tag in the tag editor, name it and tell it which node on the DH+ network to get the info from also the address in the SLC. See picture.

How are you connecting the PV to your SLC5/04?

FYI, the SLC5/04's serial port should default to 19200 baud rate if it's at 1200 then someone change it. But that has nothing to do with the PV communication.

Oops, I was thinking of a PLC5 that defaults to 1200baud, at least the one I had to work on the other week did.

Receipt

It is it possible to send a receipt with multiple lines of variable data to a serial printer on a t10c3 firmware 4.XX terminal?

I am able to send just 1 line

Just thought it was a good idea to talk about this on this thread.

You lost me with that.......

The Caveman should have started another thread. It looks like one of the moderators did it for him though.

bright676, did you solve your problem?

bright676 · Feb 18, 2013

Yes, added the resistor and found a sample ladder program and pv program to get it going. Now I can experiment at home with it.

Thank you for the help.
