I have a Allen Bradley Micro Logix 1000 PLC.I need this PLC to communicate to an Allen Bradley Panel View 550.The Micro Logix1000 has one port used for programing?? THe Panel View has port for RS-232 & DH-485. I don't know much about either one. I know that I must need some kind of adapter .If you have any info. please feel free.!
 
See ab.com for manuals on line. Your ML1000 owner's manual will reference all the info you need. The ab.com homepage shows 'manuals' on the left edge. You need an AIC module(s).

Depends on PanelView model, but loads of different ways are possible, DH485 will allow you to program both without disconnecting, makes playing with logic and viewing results on PanelView easy. Would need PanelView version to advise further.
 
You should be able to get a cable such as your pc to PLC programming cable or even use your programming vable to plug into the micrologix one one end and the RS232 Port of the panelview.AB has a shorter cable if you need it.
Set up your communications parameters and that's it.
