I have three machines that are fairly identical and we wanted make a backup of the programs from the PanelView 300 Micros, 2711-M3A18L1 for each one of them (we had never thought to do this before). The Micros interface with three MicroLogix 1000, 1761-L 16BBB and we had one of these fail last year. I have a laptop running Windows XP and have RSLogix Micro Starter Lite version 8.10, RSLinx Classic Lite version 2.57 and PanelBuilder32 version 3.80 software and we have 1761-CBL-PM02 Cables that according to the literature should work to talk to the Micros but I cannot seem to get them talking or even seeing each other, I have no issues talking to the MicroLogix 1000’s just the PanelViews. When I do an auto configure it stalls out during the BCC scan (I have no idea what that is). I read the Micro’s book on transfers and it suggest I use the WinPFT program, which I did and I tried it in every configuration with no results both these programs do not see the Micros. The fail notifications are “check your cables” and “make sure you are not set for Printer on the port” and then “operation timed out” These are all paraphrased but you get the idea. Anyone have any ideas how I can get these operations working?
