Good morning all,
This morning I'm furthering my (mis)adventure with RS Logix 5. I have an Ethernet enabled PLC5 processor that I need to go online with, but apparently you need to configure IP addresses before using Ethernet to get online. The problem is that I cant get online with a regular AB programming cable because I don't have a serial port on my laptop. I have heard that USB serial adapters are hit and miss, functionally; has anyone had any luck using a USB Serial adapter to get online with these processors? If so, what brand did you use? Is there anything special I need to know.
Thanks in advance!
