Hello all,
I have been trying to connect a UIC-1747 converter to a SLC 501 processor using the 1747-C13 cable and have no luck. Unfortunately Allen Bradley engineers could not figure out the problem neither.
After downloading UIC driver and having solid LED indicator on for USB power and having the USB LED and 485 LED flashing indicating transfer of data, I still could not get the PLC processor to show up on RSLinx. I tried using DF1 driver and UIC driver in RSLinx and neither worked. I tried all instructions from UIC-1747 manual and from Allen Bradley engineers and still no luck getting PLC processor to show up in RSwho eventhough all indicator lights on UIC-1747 indicate everything is working. Also tried different comm ports on PC, rebooted PC and RSlinx, and made sure com port was active on PC's device manager. Could this have something to do with using Windows 7 operating software? or maybe a bad 1747-C13 cable. The cable is new so I didn't think that was it but you never know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou
