I have spent far too much time on this and not got communication working yet.
Equipment: SLC 5/03 1747-L532 series C, Panelview Plus 600 2711PC-T6C20D8, AIC+.
I have tried to do either the most basic set-up: just the SLC and the PV connected, as per the links below - SLC port 0 to PV+ DF1 port.
Factorytalk studio will talk to the PV+ and upload.download over ethernet or USB, but not through serial (Rockwell tech suggest I try that, I couldn't get it to work).
RS500 and RSLinx will talk fine to the SLC over serial to the SLC port 0.
But when load the application to the PV+, I get errors such as this:
Timed out reading N7:1-N7:20 from SLC at station 1 on driver Serial
I use a crossover cable with Linx to go online with the SLC, and a straight-through cable to connect the SLC and PV+.
I suspect I have not properly configured the driver in FTStudio. What I have if I call up the PV+ RSLinx Enterprise Config page, is:
Virtual backplane <no devices>; Ethernet 1 <no devices>; Serial-DF1 SLC5/03 Processor,1 - DH-485 2
I bought the AIC+, as the next step will be to have the SLC Port 1 to the AIC+ 485 phoenix port with a homebrew 1761-CBL-AS03, the PV+ connected to the AIC DB9 (with a straight through cable, I believe), and leave the SLC port 0 open for programming. As yet, my luck with that has been to get all LEDs on the AIC lit - not flashing - just lit steady, which is not listed in the AIC+ manual. Yes, the AIC is connected to external power.
Is it my configuration in Linx Enterprise? I can have 485 or DF1 drivers, but have not seen a write-up and which to use.
Ken Roach - I have been reading your posts to others on this same configuration. Since it looked so straight-forward, we quoted 1/2 day to set up and program (it's a very simple few pushbuttons and alarms for a broach machine), and have been about 3 days so far.
