Hi everyone, this is my first post, I have to connect a panelview 300 to a micrologix 1200 but every single time I try I had the error 686 PanelView Offline, I tried almost all possible combinaisons and still the same error. So anyone can help me?
Ok. Your PV supports DF1 protocol.
Your ML1200' s serial port needs to be configured for DF1 protocol.( this is the default)
The cable you have is a null-modem cable. The cable you need should be a straight thru cable AB# 2711-NC21. Or you can put a null-modem adapter on the end of your 1761-CBL-PM02 cable to turn it into a straight thru.
Baud rates for your PV and ML1200 should match.
If I understand correctly, the problem would come from the cable I use?
Ok, I just recieve the right cable(2711-NC21) and tried to connect my plc to the panelview and nothing happen, still have the same 686 error
Are you able to connect to the PV using RSLinx?
Check the channel configuration in both the ML1200 and PV, make sure the baud rate is the same.
If you can post your ML1200's .RSS file and your PV's .PVA file.
Zip them first then post.
Is it possible that problem come of the micrologix 1200? Maybe my plc couldn't talk to that kind of panelview
