I think you have two possible problems.

1. The driver might not work on your particular computer. THe 1747-PIC/AIC+ driver in RSLinx is notoriously difficult to set up in Windows NT/2000/XP. Search this site for numerous threads about how to troubleshoot this.

2. If you have just the 1747-PIC and PanelView connected together, you will not get communications. The 1747-PIC receives power from a 1747-AIC isolator, or passed through the PanelView from an isolator or an SLC controller, or via a supplementary power supply. Plug in the PanelView to the controller or the network you intend to use it on.

Remember that you can use CompactFlash ATA memory cards in a Type II carrier to transfer programs to the PanelView. That helps you eliminate the need for the 1747-PIC in this situation.
