I am upgrading four SLC 5/01 to SLC 5/04 and SLC 5/05. I didn’t have problem changing the program from SLC 5/01 to SLC 5/04. I am having problem with SLC 5/05. I am using MCP03 cable (RS232) cable and I have only one serial port on my Computer. I am having problem with RSLinx to configure the SLC 5/05.

The FLT (SLC 5/05 CPU) light is flashing

I am using RS23 DF1 communication protocol

I am using RSLinx 2.20.01,

What could be that I am missing?

thanks feo help
 
Hello tafenegus.

The serial port in an SLC5/05 is just like the serial port in an SLC5/04. So it should be possible to go online with what you have.
Are you sure that that the problem isnt with RSLogix 500 ? If your RSLinx 2.20.01 is current with your RSLogix version, then it is a bit old. Maybe the SLC5/05's firmware is too recent.

Try to reset the SLC5/05 to factory defaults (= remove battery, short capacitor).
Then try to use the DF1 autoconfigure function in RSLinx.
