Wow, it's been awhile since I've been on here. But, I'm so glad this forum exists.
I know, no one really likes the AB panelview component HMIs, but I'm stuck with them. I purchased them for work to replace panelview 300 micros awhile back and I'm just now getting back to this project. I've searched on here and on google and found a thick manual I'm thumbing through now. So, I thought I'd throw this query up now in the meantime to see if someone knows exactly what I'm doing wrong.
Panelview
2711C-T4T
SLC503 CPU 1747-L533E
Chan.0 (RSR232 port) configured for DH485
I'm having communicating problems after trying to validate program. Particularly warning error 3015. It seems like no one is home on the RS232 port on the C400. Because the chan 0/RS232 port on the SLC CPU communicates fine when I use it to link up in RSLinx and download programs. I'm using the on-board programming via Ethernet and web browser for the C400. It's a little slow, but works. I have a very simple program written for the HMI and the SLC, a couple onscreen buttons and indicators showing the status of the buttons, just to prove proper communication.
Within the HMI web browser program once in the edit mode, under the "communications" tab I've selected DH485 protocol. "Driver" section PV comp settings, it has a pull down for "port name" and has only two choices "DHX1" and "DHX2" I'm not familiar with these. What are these for? I have the node for the SLC set for 1 and the C400 set for node 2. Controller name matches the processor name I gave it under "controller properties" within RSlogix. My tags are under the "external tab" and addressed like I used to do using panelbuilder32 and using the tag editor.
Ummm... yeah. Any ideas what I could check?
Thanks guys.
