Downloading RSLogix500 in Allen Bradley PLC using USB port with USB to serial port converter cable? Finding difficulty to configure using RSLinx version 2.4.
AB has a certain USB to serial converter they have tested and recommend, but I have personally gone out and purchased several at Radio shack that have worked properly. Do you have the correct COM port selected? Use standard DF-1 protocol, select proper COM port (Toshiba USB ports for example are COM 5 and 6). Then autocofig.
RSLinx has a hard time with USB to serial port configuerations. In fact it will not work. You need to buy a USB to DH485 interface converter from AB. Cat # 1747-UIC.
I have a 1747-UIC, my laptop is a Toshiba satellite, I use win me, rslinx lite ver 2.42 and I install the driver for USB and configured RS-232 DF1 for conected to PLC and then no have conection. what is possible problem???
I am an Latin american person and I do not speak a good english!!!!
The DL3500-DF1 in either DH+ or DH-485 configurations has a built in USB 2.0 port. A com port is added to the Windows system when the DL3500 is plugged into a SB port.
RSLINX then uses that COM Port and the standard DF1 RS232 driver to access PLCs on either DH+ or DH-485 networks.
