Dear, I used RSLinx to make the bridge to communicate RSLogix with the PLC through ethernet. So how would you do it for the HMI? I'm searching the days and I can not figure out how todo this. So, for now there is no configuration in RSLinx. Below is the configuration screens for RSLogix and HMI software. I have built the null modem cable the same as the micrologix manual and I am using micrologix channel 2.

dear AndrewG In the RSLinx do not have any configuration, just the ethernet to communicate Micrologix with PC. Why do I have to configure RSLinx if I want to communicate Micrologix with HMI? Sorry for my question ...... I am a begginer. On my searches, I dont see why I need to configure RSLinx for this application. But, if I have, how can I do this?   In my last try, I constructed the null cable and now, the status communication on RSLogix 500 changed. Now, it seems that is communicating (print is bellow). But in HMI display, a message is displayed: Comm err.       RSLogix.bmp

On the channel status, in the project tree of rslogix, this channel dont show any work.... but the indicator of channel 2 on PLC display, it is active. In the HMI is showned ''No answer from PLC 1''.

  Hello friends, I am new with the micrologix and I am having difficulties to understand what I need to configure to establish communication between MICROLOGIX 1400 and HMI IX-T5F-2 from the Altus. I am triyng make communication throug the channel 2 of PLC with the COMM port of HMI, that is a RS232/485 serial DB9 multiprotocol according to CH2 of PLC. I am using a serial cable DB9 male Female. I can use any protocol to make this, I choosed the DH-485 because have less configuration parameters.  I have understood that I just have configure CH2 of PLC on the rslogix 500 in the channel configuration on the project tree and the configuration of HMI is according to RSlogix What else have to do? Anybody can help me? The print of screen configuration is showned bellow. CH2PLC.bmp HMI.bmp
