AB PanelView Plus 600

[Riyas Mohamed]

Hello ,

I have an HMI of PV+ 600 (2711-T6M5D) Ser A Rev B, This HMI doesn't have the ethernet port i have to take backup through communicate RS232. Which cable i have to use? In RSlinx which driver i have to select?

Can i use the cable USB-2711-NC13 for RS232 communication?


I am new for AB brand,

Thanks in advance.

Why not use a USB flash drive to back it up?


EDIT:


While I've never used it for panelviews, you should be able to use that cable to communicate to it according to this manual:
https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/products/details.2711P-T6M5D.html


Then to set up your driver in RSLinx, set it up as a RS232 DF1 driver, select your Com port, then for device type, select "SLC-CH0/Micro/PanelView", then click "Auto-Configure" and it should set up everything else for you.


Hope that helps.

I used the USB but it didn't detected, i connected my USB, the external storage was not shown. i don't know why?

Also, i tried with folder path, it didn't shown. Also tell me the solution for this?

Did you have the flash drive formatted to the FAT32 filesystem? Was it larger than 2GB? Sometimes that can cause issues.

Yeah, I formatted my USB, it has nothing other than the backup. My USB was 32GB. So, Is that a problem?

It could be. Maybe try formatting it as a smaller partition or using a smaller USB.


Otherwise, you should be able to backup the running program on the PanelView by setting up the RS232 driver as I explained above and then using the FactoryTalk Application Manager to upload the program.
