Problem connecting Rsview32 to contrologix5561

3 posts in this topic

I am trying to connect rsview32 to a contrologix5561 through a DF1 cable ( RS232). I made the configuration of the topic on Rslinx, got the driver installed and when I enter in to system on the rsview32 I configure the channel 3 as an AB DF1-Half-Duplex connection (DF-1) which is the same as I configured with my driver in Rslinx . The problem arrises when I try to add a new node, I used the channel I just configured but when I try to set up the station I get the pop up message "Invalid selection, cause: Device type is not supported". It is important to add that I can load the rslogix program to the plc through the same rslinx configuration. What could be the cause of this problem? Edited by automation.engineer

Are you setting it up as RS Linx OPC server, are you using rs linx lite for controllogix you need to use rslinx opc server for tags this seems to work the best

Hi, First you check for RS Links, if it is RS Links Lite it will not work. NS
