Hi people,
Hoping someone can help me. I have been tasked with adding some screens to an existing panelmate running in the middle of nowhere. I have zero experience with these devices, but got the software side of things done ok. Now comes time to go to the fiels and download the new configuration file. Problem is, I only have a laptop with USB ports, no serial. Do I need a USB-to-serial converter of some kind? Will the transfer utility work with the USB at all? What cable do I require? The PLC it's connected to currently is a A-B SLC 5/04 over DH+. Is there some way to use RSLinx to transfer the new configuration to the panelmate via the PLC? (I have the 1747-UIC).
TIA
