Hi I've been programming in RSLogix 500 Micro Starter edition and its come time to download my program to my Micrologix 1200.
I'm using a Win7 64bit system and I've got the standard serial cable from AB as well as a USB to serial cable (prolific chipset).. When I try to load the micrologix driver in RSlinx as a RS-232 DF-1 SLC-CH0/Micro/PanelView (assuming that is correct), I do Auto configure and either end up with it hanging at checking BCC (error correction) or spitting out a "failed to find baud and parity" error..
From searching a bit, It looks like the possible issue may be the prolific chipset of the USB to serial cable... Assuming I get a different chipset might it work?
The alternative is finding a desktop with a serial cable... however my issue is my Rslogix software is installed on this laptop so I would have to uninstall it and reinstall on the desktop in order to use it there? (I believe the software is 1 user).
Thanks
Mike
