Hello there!
Im seeking help on SLC/504 communication. Im new to this thing. I got a laptop ("Fujitsu" "Lifebook 780TX) turned over to me recently on Windows 98 preloaded with RSLogix500 and RSLinx Lite. I need to establish communication with AB's SLC/504 using my fabricated RS-232 DB9 cable (same as 1747-CP3 for DTAM Micro) so i can have copy on its program. I've read about Mullenix thomas case and Brad Hite's reply and write up on RSLinx and tried those. On auto configuration phase of RSlinx, this error message always come up "Unable to open com port for configuration setting". What does it mean? Im configuring on RSLinx driver RS232DF1 devices on com1 port on channel 0 device SLC-CHO/micropanel view. On that i cant proceed any further, Thru control panel tried to check com1 port if being allocated by another sofware, found one (1) in modem, remove such but on test again still got the same error message. I dont know what to do now! Looking for help to any out there! Thanks so much.
