must just be having one of those bad days. I would greatly appreciate if someone could post a step by step instrucion on how to configure your pc to communicate thru RSView Studio to a PVP600. I am trying to communicate from my pc using a 2711-NC13 cable to a 2711P-T6C5D. Maybe i have the wrong cable.
-In the communication setup tree in the RSView Studio (version 3.20.00 (CPR6)) applciation I added a driver for Serial DF1 to the Local Tab. (It's my understanding is the Target Tab is only for PVP to Processor and I haven't even made it that far yet) I assumed when I added this driver it would browse for a device. I tried adding a device jsut for kicks but it seemed to make no difference. i expected it to act like linx just picking up active nodes. i also restarted the computer a couple times after configuring just in case it somehow helped.
In the General Tab I have:
Description = Serial-DF1
COM Port = 4 (the port on my pc that I plan to use to commuicate with the pvp from my pc) I verified the port is communicating by connecting to a microlox 1000. could see the 1000 without any issue
Device = Slc or Micro Logix
Station Number = 0
Auto-configuration Box = Checked
In the Link Tab I have:
Baud = 19200
Stop Bits = 1
Parity = None
Error Check = CRC
Ack/Poll Timeou (msec) = 3000
Max Retries = 3
________________________________________
On the PV600+ in the Terminal Settings/Networks and Communications/RSLinx Enterprise Communications I left Virtual Backplane and Ethernet to thier default settings and set Serial DF1 driver to the following.
Use Auto-Config = Yes
Device = Slc or MicroLogix
Error Check = CRC
Parity = None
Baud = 19200
Stop Bits = None
Ack/Poll Timeout (msec) = 3000
Max Retries = 3
Station Number = 0
COM Port = 1 (my understanding this is just set for the port the pvp uses to communicate with the plc. i tried changing this to com 4 and it made no difference)
I have gone round and round with this thing all day. can't imagine I can't accomplis this simple task. This has got to just be some ****it trouble on my behalf. any help from out there would be a help
