I was just able to connect with a PanelView 2711-xxxx3 and capture the program using PanelBuilder32.  The Panelview 1000 had three connectors-  a rs232 db9 connection that was only good for a printer that could not be disabled.  There were two DH-485 ports, one was connecting to the PLC and the other was an rj45 style port.  I used the 1747-UIC device (USB to dh485 converter) with the switch pointing to the rj45 side of the connector and used a normal ethernet cable.  I was able to see the panelview when I configured the driver on rslinx classic without any problems.  I was also able to see the PLC in the directory as well.  When rslinx could see the panelview then I launched panelbuider32 and was able to upload the program from the panel.  Took about 20 minutes at 9600 baud.
