Hmm...I've got a mystery I can't figure out.
I have a machine last week that I used a PV 300 and Micro 1500 on DF1 to talk to each other using "SOME" cable...I took pictures and I see that I used the Mini Din on the Micro 1500 and of course the only DB-9 connector on the PV 300 (DF1). I also see my CP3 cable connected on the SIDE of the Micro 1500 LRP, so that is where I was programming the Micro.
But two weeks later, I got the same job again, DUP, and I couldn't figure out which cable I ordered, so I got (guessed) a 2711-CBL-HM05 cable which is a DIN on one end and DB-9 on the other to connect the PV and Micro together using DF1. When I do that I get the old 686 Panel View Offline error. I used that SAME cable to download my program from the PC to Micro 1500, so I think the cable (2711-CBL-HM05) cable is good. But I can not get the pv and micro to talk to each other.
My comm settings are the same in both the PV and Micro as they where last week. 19,200 N/8/1 CRC, no hand etc..Micro Node 1, PV Node 2.
Right now, I've got the PV 300 and Micro 1500 talking with a rat shack straight through cable from the DB-9 PV to the DB-9 Micro LRP side RS-232 comm port...
Weird...Am I using the right cable? Everyone else seems to think so.
And..I used to have a COOL paper that showed all the cables for the micro logix, does anyone have that linked on Ab's website? I can not find it again. It was a paper that showed a graphic image of all the micrologix cables, and part numbers under the graphic image. I thought this paper was helpful if I could find it again.
