Hi again,
I have many times used RSLinx to connect to PLC's with the DF-1 serial driver and a USB-RS232 adaptor. No problems.
Now I'm trying to connect to a PanelView Plus 600 Rev C using the RS-232 port. It just wont connect. Auto-configure in the DF1 driver setup box doesn't complete. I am doing this while the panel is sitting there at the main screen in Config mode .
I have set all the network settings in the panel back to default, made sure Kepware wasn't installed, re-loaded firmware, tried the straight through serial cable as well as a null modem (which is not the right cable, I know) checked and defaulted the serial port settings, what the heck am I doing wrong?
I know without any doubt that there is nothing wrong with the USB-serial adaptor nor the PC since just yesterday I downloaded a program to another controller.
Any ideas?
