I do have problem to communicate to a micrologix 1000, perhaps the
model is too old? Serial 1L116BWA1AA- 2020953503
I`m using a current version of rslogix500 and rslinx . No problems
on micrologix 1200 0r the slc 500 via pic adaptor.
1000 pains .
Cheers John.
 
What would be more helpful is the Model Number and the Series Letter (like 1761-L16BWA, Series C).

MicroLogix 1000 can "auto-detect" which protocol you're using to communicate with them, but by default they try DF1 Full Duplex first. If you are using DH-485, usually you need to have more than one device on the network so that the controller will detect network traffic and auto-switch to DH-485. Otherwise it can take quite a few minutes to detect enough traffic from RSWho to make the controller autoswitch.

Try the DF1 Full Duplex driver instead of the 1747-PIC/AIC+ driver (you might have to reboot in between changes to get rid of the PIC driver completely).
 
Your in for some AB fun!
I had similiar problems awhile back. I'm no expert, but here goes.
You will have to start rslinx and set your dh485 communications to NOT autostart (maybe even delete, make note of settings). Then reboot computer. Set a new DF1 protocol for the 1000. I believe you can go into and set the Micrologix 1000 for dh485 communications. When you do, you will lose communications. (dont freak) You will have to go through the same process and kill the df1, reboot, start the dh485 up and then you will be able to communicate with the 1000, 1200, etc.
Of course, a few good "words" for AB while going through this process is in line. :)
