I HAD A MICROLOGIX 1500 CONNECTED TO THE AIC+ THEN TO THE PANEL VIEW
EVERYTIME THAT I TRIED TO CONNECT MY PC TO THE RS232 PORT OF THE AIC+ I CANT SEE THE PLC OR THE PANEL, HOW THE PLC SHOULD BE CONFIGURED (CH0 AND CH1) TO SUPPORT THAT CONNECTION, AND HOW THE RS LINX SHOULD BE.
ATTACHED YOU WILL FIND THE CONNECTION EXAMPLE,
THANKS IN ADVANCE
Full Version: Dh485 Network
What driver are you using in RSLinx? Hat are your baud rates?
estas utilizando el driver para 1747-pic?
The only way I've gotten this scheme too work is to use a 1747-USB in between the AIC+ and the PC. The AIC+ connects to the 1747-USB's DB9 RS232 connection. The 1747-USB provides the DH485 protocol for the computer to talk to the AIC+. There may be another work around with a PIC also but I threw out my PIC many years ago so I've used it in a while.
Even though the hardware is RS232, you need the DH-485 protocol to talk to the AIC+.

I may be wrong jstolaruk but I dont think you need the converter. You may look at THIS thread for an explaination and may be Ken Moore will jump in here and verify it is correct for this situation

Yeah, it looks like it could work. I got so tired of the messages that "RSLinx can't run as a service with the PIc" OR that the "Something-swap didn't execute so restart RSLinx" that I poop-canned ever using the PIC driver again. The UIC works just fine in its place.
I've got the exact same setup in 3 of my machines... ML1500 to PIC to panelview 600. I have no problems connecting to any of the machines.
One thing to note, is that in order to get the PIC driver to work I have to stop RSLinx running as a service and restart it as an application. Then add the PIC driver. It will normally tell me that the driver hasn't passed some windowsXP compatability, and asks if I wan't to continue loading it anyways. I tell it yes, and it will work fine. When I'm done, I normaly remove the driver and restart linx as a service (to avoid seeing the stupid message everytime I start linx...)
<oops! just read jstolaruk's response above mine and it says pretty much the same type of thing... Sorry...>
