communicating with panel view 300

[mmgch]

I am trying to upload from pv300 model 2711-k3a5l1 b that's a dh-485 dos someone know what type of driver i have to use and wat cable i should use

Driver is: 1747-PIC/AIC+ Driver ( You will need a real serial port to use this driver) or if you have the 1747-UIC ( USB to DH485 converter) use it.
Cable with the 1747-PIC/AIC+ driver is AB's 2711-NC13 ( this is a straight thru 9 pin to 9 pin cable)

Thanks for posting the part number; that helps a lot because it tells you what kind of communication protocol and port is on the PanelView.

2711- means Standard PanelView
K means Keypad version
3 3 inch display
5 DH485 protocol with RS232 serial port
A Amber/monochrome display
L1 24 VDC power

The simplest thing to do is connect a straight-through serial cable and use the "1747-PIC/AIC+" driver in RSLinx. You need a built-in serial port and a bit of luck to make this driver work on modern computers.

Another connection method is the 1747-UIC, which is a USB to DH485 converter with both RS232 and RS485 electrical interfaces.

I tried using 1747 PIC driver with a straightthrough communication cable and it still shows error.

Node addresses must be different
Baud rate?

Could you describe the error message please? It would help to know which program window it's in (RSLinx ? PanelBuilder ?) and some of the text associated with it.

You can also bypass this problem and use a CompactFlash card and PCMCIA Type II adapter to upload the file out of the PanelView.

Sorry not to hijack the thread but I have same problem with a 2711-K3A2L1 PV300. I can't figure out what cableing I need to connect to it. Do I need an AIC+ module?

Thanks.

I now have a Win98 laptop so I can run the PIC driver. I have the laptop connected to the PIC, and from the PIC to the PV300 I am using the 1747-C10 cable. I feel I have all the correct connections now, and I can see the PIC in Linx

Now my problem is that when I try to download or upload from the panel I get an error "Error(1022)- Target is not an operator terminal."
