Hi, all.
We have a MicroLogix1200, which channel configuration is "Driver: DH485; Node Address: 1; Baud: 19200; Network Link ID: 1". This channel is used for a HMI.
Today, I tried to connect to the PLC with my PC. Firstly, I push the comm switch to "DCOMM". Then, I tried to auto config the RS232 DF1 driver in RSLINX, and it was successful. But RSLINX just could not find the PLC at all.
Then I tried to restart the RSLINX, the PC, the PLC, and it still could not work.
Finally, I tried other drivers, and the DH485 UIC driver worked. The RSLINX found about more than 20 MicroLogix1200s, and they were same, and they were just the PLC I wanted to connect to.
Is there anyone can tell me what happened, and why? What is the DH485 UIC driver, and why it can work when I switch to "DCOMM" ?
Thanks in advance.
