I'm having trouble connecting my Panelview 300 Micro to my PC - I'm using a 1761-CBL-PM02 cable.
Anyway when I use RSLinx I added the panelview as a RS232 DF1 device and then used autoconfigure (successfully). The resulting node appears as a workstation using DH-485 (i.e. it is detected but...) that I cannot communicate properly with. If I force the device to use DF1 then it simply can't find the node at all. (Tiis is on Com2). The Panelview definately uses DF1 firmware (at least that what it says on the configuration screen).
I have a CompactLogix controller connected and communicating with the other com port (Com1).
The panelview micro itself has a panelbuilder program loaded in it that displays a 208 error whenever I connect to the PC or a new CompactLogix controller. I've been told that because the program on the controller doesn't have the same tags as on the panelview that this error will occur but I can't even connect the panelview to my PC to reprogram it.
Is there anyway I can clear the program on the panelview so I can reprogram it?
I think I need to start with getting the device to look correct with RSLinx but I don't know what to do there. Any suggestions?
