Hello all,
I had an old machine come back in for some work. The system has an SLC 5/03 which connects to a PanelView 600 through it's CH0 serial port. I believe CH0 is set up to use DH485, but when I unplug the PanelView and plug in my laptop I can't seem to connect to the PLC in RSLinx (Classic Ver 2.50.00.20). I'm using a USB to Serial converter, along with a null modem cable, which I've had no problem with on any other SLC i've tried connecting to, but they've always just used DF1. Is there a different driver I should be using in RSLinx? I pretty much went through every driver that made sense to me, and still no luck connecting.
Any ideas?
Much appreciated,
Jeev.
