Hi everyone!
Hope everyone is having a great day. I just started out with PLC’s and by that I mean I was trying to understand how things work and how to get started with the programming aspect of it. I have a Micrologix 1000 PLC at work as well as a SLC 500 one. Problem is, nobody knows if this working or what all is needed to run these. I was trying to get started with the Micrologix 1000 PLC but I can’t figure out if this has an input card attached to it. There is a Compact Block I/O system beside it but I’m not sure if this is the input output card. When I try to configure it in RSLogix 500, nothing shows up, the I/O config tab is greyed out. So I decided to give SLC 500 a try, but the problem with it is that RSLinx is not detecting it. I’ve tried connecting to it using different cables (USB, DH+ etc) but nothing works. I’ve read the manuals and all but haven’t been able to figure out much.
I’m attaching relevant pics below. Can someone please guide me? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
