I have to load a project to a PLC 5 processor via DF1 protocol. I have a laptop with a PCMK card in it with the 1784-PCM5/B Cable. I have to create a new driver in RSLinx. Its been so long since I've done this I forget how to create one for DF1 protocol. I cant remember What comms port, Device (PLC channel) baude rate ect.. to choose or even if DF1 is the right way to go. I attached a picture as well. This processor is brand new and hasn't had a project loaded onto it yet. Its currently plugged into a free rack with just a power supply to get things going. Is it even possible to use the 1784-PCM5/B cable with DF1 protocol? I cant put this processor on the LAN because I don't want it to interfere with the existing processor it is going to replace. Basically I need a way to get the program onto the processor without going online with the DH+ or ETHERNET. My laptop doesn't have a rs232 serial port either. only the PCMK card and USB.
