Hello,
I am working on a project, with an allen bradley micrologix 1400 PLC. It has to communicate with a sort of controller which drives a flip dot display.
The project is low on budget and i didn't get much time for the project. But the controller board for the flip dot display, it works whit the protocol RS485. Info off the flip dot display's and controller boards can be found here: http://www.flipdots.com/control-units.html#.VjJPUDZdGHs
I'm using the allen bradley micrologix 1400, and i'm trying to set up a connection for rs485 at channel 2. Because channel 0 is used by an rs232, panelview c200. And channel 1 is for ethernet i think.
I'm programming for some weeks now, using verry diffrend programs and using diffrend function blocks. But i can't get it working. So maybe someone hase a suggestion what i can try? As what I should use for function blocks for instance? Basicly the first question is how did i set up an RS485 connection whit an allen bradley PLC using channel 2? The next question is how can i use the connection to communicate with the controller board?
With kind regards,
Corné
