Hello All,
I am trying to connect Panel View 900 to my panelbuilder32 software and running into connection issues. Here is what I am using:
Panel View 900 (2711-T9A2)
1747-PIC
25 to 5 pin adapter
Serial cable (no crossover)
Serial gender changer (to be used with the cable)
WindowsXP platform running PanleBuilder32 (Version 03.82.01)
From what I understand in order to communicate (download/upload program) with panelView 900 it (panelview) needs to be connected not only to the programming terminal (PanelBuilder32) but also to the network OR have an AC adapter (1747-NP1) connected to communication port. I figure that is where communication related component’s power for PV900 is coming from thus any network connection should do. PLEASE let me know if that is not the case.
On to the connection:
Network: From PanelView900 to home network switch (cable used – from pv900 “wide” connector (bottom right looking from the back of the PV900) to home “RJ45” regular connecter)
Communication (picture is attached): From PanelView900 (cable used - RJ45 (bottom left plug of PV900 looking form the back) to “wide” connector on the PIC module) to 1747-PIC. From 1747-PIC via ribbon cable (attached to the PIC module) to 25 to 9 pin converter (straight). From 25 to 9 pin converter to 9 pin gender changer. From 9 pin gender changer to serial cable. From serial cable to serial port in the laptop.
Laptop COM port used: there is only one physical COM port in the laptop. I’ve tried renaming the port to COM1, 2 or 3 in device manager, but was unable to connect to panelbuilder32.
When going into the panelbuilder32 and trying to upload a program from PV900 in a “status” window that opens up during the upload I receive the following messages (picture attached):
Info (2018)- Verify your cable connections
Info (2018) – If you are using a direct connection to a PanelView via DF1, insure that the panelview does not have its printer port enabled
Error(2018) – I/O operation did not complete in time.
ON THE PV900 TERMINAL GREEN "COMM" LIGHT IS FLASHING - have not idea what that means.
Please help me out if you can, I’ve been battling this beast for a while now, driving me nuts. Thanks in advance!
