1747-AIC Communications Problem

[kenpressley]

I am trying to use a 1784-CP14 cable connected to the peripheral port of a 1747-AIC link isolator that is connected to a SLC 5/03 processor, but I am not having much luck. I have a PKTX(D) card in the PC running Linx and I can connect directly to SLC Channel 1 of the processor and talk fine, but when I try to access the PLC from the peripheral port of the 1747-AIC, it bombs out. To make things more interesting, I can access the SLC 5/03 via the 1747-AIC if I use my PCMK card on my laptop and the appropriate cable. Also, I can connect a 1747-PIC adapter to the peripheral port of the 1747-AIC and it communicates fine, but Win 2K has a tough time with the PIC driver in Linx.

I would appreciate any help that anyone may offer.

Check your version of Linx. The earlier versions did not support Win2000 with a PIC. Regards Alan Case

Thanks for the response. The version of Linx is 2.41.00 (Build 10). I was running Win 98 when I was using the 1747-PIC to communicate with the SLC 5/03.
