Howdy,
I'm trying to connect to an SLC 5/04 using an old Toughbook running windows XP over the RS-232 port.
Cable 1761-CBL-PM02
RSLinx Classic lite
RS-232 DF1 Driver
Com1
I have tried 2 processors, in each case once the processor is powered on I get a blinking red FLT light and a slower blinking DH+ or RS232 light, from the manual I gather that this means it cant find anything to talk to.
Auto configure driver in RSLinx returns either:
"unable to find baud rate and parity" or "unable to verify settings due to packet timeout"
I'm admittedly more familiar with ethernet connections but I'm not altogether foreign to serial, is there something I'm missing?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
