I've been using a Belkin USB to RS232 to communicate from my laptop to a PanelView 1000 and I never had an issue. And for my SLC5 I used the com port 1.
So I never used the Belkin with my laptop to communicate to a SLC processor.
I decided to move the activation keys to my RSLogix 500 to my PC so I could work with more ease. As the Belkin does work efficiently on the laptop why not with the PC. My PC doesn't have a RS-232 com port.
The drives work well and I've checked in the Device Manager which com port my Windows has assigned to it.
In my RSLinx Lite I configure the driver as a RS-232 DF1 device. I matched the baud rate and selected the SLC-CH0. Next I do auto-configure. Here is the message I get: Unable to open COM port for auto-configuration testing!
I changed the COM port number in the Device manager and updated it using the right button and choosing scan for hardware changes. The correction is then made to the Belkin and it's assigned COM port no.
I go back to RSLinx. Then back to the drivers. I chose to delete the previous one and set a new one again. The auto-configure fails again. And the SLC is well hooked and the power is on.
Any body can help me?
