Try this.


Go to RSLinx and get to the "Configure Drives". It is the middle icon that looks like a cable. Click on the drop down field for available driver types. Then highlight RS232 - DF1 and click on "Add New". Click OK for the default name. Another menu box opens up.

Click in the Device Drop dwon box and select SLC CH0/Micro/Panelview. Make sure you are tied to the MicroLogix 1000 then hit Auto-Configure. This should set you up automatically.

Good Luck,

Todd.
