Hi, carrying on from my SLC5/04ML1000 half duplex dilemma thread
http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=120254
were l show how l have configured my 5/04 to talk to RSlinx via half duplex, l can't get Citect to talk via their latest drivers ABRSLINX_1.02.18 or ABDF1D_1.02.04 to my 5/04, whether direct or via RSlinx.
PC spec's.
Windows 8.1 pro
Rslogix500 V10
Rslinx V3.74 Gateway.
Citect V7.40, supposedly Win 8.1 supported.
I'm no guru on communication and Citect, hence why l would like to get it running so l can gain more knowledge.
So l can upload/download/Run a basic program on the 5/04 via Rslinx on half duplex, so l imagine that should be running correctly and when talking to Citect will be able to change a switch on/off.
I have used the computer setup wizard, and the PC is a Server and Control Client, Stand Alone.
My basic Citect program is just that, 2 buttons graphically doing sw0 =0, sw0=1.
Citect compiles and RUN's, but it goes into hardware alarm.
When l use the kernel, re drivers, it says non are configured, hardware alarm is, NO I/O Server could be found.
Because l'm in half duplex, l imagine l can have Rslinx and Rslogix's running and l should be able to talk to both without losing control over both, correct?
I have tried OPC, l can see 5/04 inputs/outputs changing on the AB OPC Test Client, but again when l try Citect in OPC driver mode, it can't see my PLC and l get the same errors.
Citect Config Screen shots below.
Thanks for any assistance .
regards Kevin
