I seem to be having troubles connecting to a number of PLCs that are used where I work.
The main problem I have is connecting to the SLC-5/03 using an RS232 cable. The connection is a DF1 Half Duplex Slave. I have attempted to connect using the standard DF1 Driver, the DF1 Master Polling Driver and the Slave (just because), but I can never see the PLC in RSLinx. I believe that I have made I have attached the Channel Configuration page from the report, but I made sure to set the baud rate at 2400, changed it to CRC, and Parity to none. I may just be missing something, but this is very annoying.
If anyone knows of anything else I can try, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
[EDIT] I also forced the driver to check all nodes 0-255, as it was unable to find #12.
