Dear members,
I have an upcoming field upgrade of a pump station to add a RedLion gateway and serial radio equipment. The ultimate goal is to pipe some tags to a main data collection station.
The pump station PLC is a SLC-5/05 (1747-L553E) processor. There is an existing PV+600 (can't recall exactly) that is connected to port 0 on the PLC.
I need to connect the RedLion to port 1, the ethernet port, but I do not have any details on the configuration of this port or perhaps it wasn't configured at all. Having very little experience with the SLC platform, I wasn't able to connect to the PLC.
I know that the serial port is configured for Serial-DH485 based on the PV communication setup. I went through many of the serial based drivers in Linx and two AB serial cables, still no luck.
Any advice on getting the serial comms up and running would be greatly appreciated.
