Hi all,
I'm having a very hard time with my serial comms. Using FTView ME v9 to design an HMI. The PLC is a ML1500. At one point, I had comms working. Now nothing I do seems to work. Serial comms has to be the most fickle thing I've ever dealt with. I am using a Keyspan USB to serial converter with a 1761-CBL-PM02 cable. I am testing the HMI on my laptop. Serial DF-1 driver using COM1 with autoconfig checked. Keeps telling me DF1 failed to open COM1.
I know the runtime needs to be COM1 but the RSLinx classic com port uses COM11
Can anyone help me please? Been dealing with this for 2 days now....
