Hi Everyone,
I am trying to communicate to a slc 5/04 processor that is currently configured to DH 485 using an AB-KT-1 driver. I have an old version of RS Linx Classic that comes with Factory Talk. I did order a newer version of RS Linx Gateway but do not have it available at the moment. I know you can download drivers from AB via internet, but my concerns are:
1. Am I wasting my time and need Gateway, or is the version of Linx that I have ok?
2. Has anyone ever used a FC2A-KC4C which is a DH 485 cable for a Idec micro PLC? I see cautions all over this due to grounding of cables and could cause damage to the processor.
The only cables I have available at the moment are a RS-232 null cable from AB, Idec as mentioned above and the 1747-PIC with a RS-232/Ethernet and no where to plug in Ethernet on processor, just 232 and the 9 pin D schell type.
I would apretiate any help possible with this. Thank you.
