Hi everyone!

I am trying to communicate with a Panelview 300 micro. It is communicating with a SLC5/03 on channel 0.
The channel 0 is setup on DH485, at 19200, Node adress 1, Token hold factor 1 and max adress 31.
The part number of the PV is 2711-M3A19L1 series A rev C, Firmware 4.41.

It really looks like I need to configure RSLinx with the PIC driver.

I have tried to configure RSLinx with RS232, auto-configure, with the 1747-PIC/AIC driver, tried to use different cables, adding a null-modem, etc etc. The panelview will not show up in RSWho.

The funny thing is that the PV300 communicates with the PLC just fine. How can this happen?

Then I tried to communicate with another PV300 in the plant, and it runs fine. So my laptop and my cable is OK.

What is going on??

This terminal uses RS232 h/w with DH485 protocol. You should be able to connect to it with your PC using the DB9 on a 1747-UIC. Or if you have the h/w (PCMK) to connect to the 5/03's RS485 port, you may be able to do a pass-thru to the terminal on channel 0.

And how does this passthru configured in RSLinx??

Its not. Its configure in the SLC 5/03 status tables. Follow this link to find out how:
