Ok, so I'm trying to set up a system to play around with and get some programming practice in. I've got an SLC5/04 connected to the computer using RS485, successfully. I'm trying to hook up a PV1000 to the DH+ port on the SLC and program it through the PLC, so I can program both without needing to switch the connection around.
Thing is, I don't know where to start. I should also mention that there's a program already on the PV1000 and from what we've tried, no way to get into a configuration menu or even change screens from the one we are on. It keeps giving us an alarm banner on the top saying it can't communicate with anything.
I'm still new to PLCs, and don't know really how to configure any of that stuff. I also don't know how I'd connect to the PV through the PLC. Any suggestions?
