Hello everyone,
I am trying to upload some parameters from a powerflex 523, and download them to a new powerflex 4. First problem is I’m not able to connect to the powered on 523. I’m looking on RS-Linx, but in the manual I’m reading I’m supposed to be seeing. A new driver in the device manager that I installed, but It’s not populating. Right now I have a (USB Serial Port) driver I’ve used to connect to a plc in the past, and am currently trying to use that one because I’m basically using the same cable.
I’m using an AB 9300 cable that goes from USB to RS-232, then I’m connecting that to a 22-SCM-232 cable/converter I have, and from there ethernet to the drive. Is this the issue? In the manual I’m supposed to use a Powerflex 1203 USB Converter. I was hoping since this 22-SCM-232 is so similar it would work, the main difference being It converts to 232 which I then convert back to USB, instead of just a cable to ethernet like the 1203. Sorry if that doesn’t make sense, attached pics of the cables I’m using.
Also beyond that once I get connected I’m just going by the manuals to read the parameters to CCW, modify them if necessary, and then write them to the new drive. I’ve never done this before so any advice is much appreciated.
