Hello all,
Tried searching for this problem but couldn't find any previous posts. We have a piece of machinery that has a ControlLogix 5555 processor installed. We are currently going around taking plant-wide backups as a part of our service contract.
This particular machine, however, has a B&R Automation module connected to the RS-232 port. We tried to connect and simply couldn't. After looking through the program we found off a similar model but with a Ethernet card included, we found that the port was set to User - ASCII comms.
As such, we cannot connect at all to the processor to perform the upload. The other three machines do not have an ethernet card, although they do have a RIO card attached for the Panelview 1000.
How can we possibly connect via RS-232 in order to upload the program? Is there some way to set the port back to system so we can just connect temporarily or are we missing something?
Many thanks in advance.
