Hi all,
currently i have created and running a batching system for making muesli, using a micrologix 1500 and Rslinx classic single node.
I am using Microsoft XP professional SP3 and a piece of software called OPC Data logger, to log the necessary information from the PLC. This has been working 100% perfect for a couple of months now, Until last night.
I arrive this morning too find that communications had been lost in the night resulting in the data not being logged.
Previous too this disaster i was using COM1 the serial port on the back of the computer and using a DF1 rs232 driver. To recover the situation i have used a omron USB Converter which is running the same DF1 protocol but a different port COM3, and it works fine.
When i try to reconfigure the COM1 port RSLinx tells me it cannot find the correct parity or baud rate? Any ideas as what might be happening??
Using COM3 it configures instantly, Is this a common fault with RSLinx??
Also i have noticed that in the drop down menu HELP>About RSLinx at the bottom where it says activations the serial number is no longer present, and is displayin ****none*** but if i place the cursor over the tray icon it displays, activations: single node. Could this be an issue?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
