I've never used RSLogix5000 before and I have to go online with a compactlogix L35E processor. We just received a new water chiller for our plant and it came with a compactlogix PLC which needs to be used for one analog input, 2 discrete inputs and 2 discrete outputs for control of a 3 way valve/motor and pump/position of valve/temp of water. do I use the ethernet port on the plc to establish a rslinx connection using the Ethernet IP driver configuration? I tried this and cannot get the PLC to communicate. I started a new project on rslogix500 and choose the correspoing PLC and for revision note I chose 15(which I don't know what that is). I would like to get online with this thing to start the programming. should I be using a rs232 connection to establish a connection? please help!! THANKS!!, brian
