I am a first time user to A/B and Rockwell software working on setting up a small training system for a local community college.
I am having problems getting the communications to work and we can find no documentation for the stuff (found system is bowles of an junk lab). The problem is with the software RSlinx (2.00.97.30) and RSlogix (2.10.12.0). I am trying to get it to communicate to a A/B rack configured with the following:
Power:1746 P3
Slot 0: 1747-L532 (5/03)
Slot 1: 1746-IB16
Slot 2: 1746-OB16
Connection: 1746-PIC
I'm sure I have the rack configured properly in the I/O configuration. In RSLinx I have the device set for the AB_PIC DH485 driver on com1, station 0. I believe I must be missing something becuase when I attempt to read IO config or check who's active it returns a no response from processor. have tried several nodes all with the same results.
I would appreciate any documentation or insight that anyone could provide.
