  1. Mark - I have ran into this problem before and there are a few things to note: The cable you have (1761 - CBL - PM02) is correct and you can use it direct to the panelview via the 1747 -PIC / AIC+ driver ( you do not need the PIC device just the driver), the only problem you may run into is that Rockwell Software dose not support WinXP with SP3. If that is the issue, you might be able to uninstall SP3 and running SP2 you should be ok. You can find this information on Rockwell support knowledgebase tech note 54269, and the note can be accessed without a tech support contract. Hope this helps.
  2. Bob - I did as suggested and set the PLC5 channel 1B as the RIO scanner, then input my Rack #, Group #, and Rack size and all is well in the world . Communications and data transfer were perfect. Thanks for the help and the lesson. I have attached a screenshot of the configuration as it is now, working. RIO_Chan_1B_config.bmp
  3. Oddly enought that makes perfect sense. I'll change it around and see what happens. Thanks.
  4. Hello, I am working on a PLC 5/30 that is supposed to be communicating to a panel view 550 via a RIO network on Channel 1B of the PLC. This is a project that I took on when the processor somehow lost its program. I wrote the code back via a printed hard copy, but there are some missing links. I extracted the comms information from the panel view comms configuration screen but it still shows "No PLC Communication" on the panelview. The LED Channel 1B on the processor is not blinking, therfore I dont believe that the PLC is even attenmpting to communicate with the PV. There is also a BTW and a BTR that I believe is what is supposed to be handeling the information between the PLC and PV. I have attached screen shots of the setup as I have it now, I have not dealt with RIO very much much less an RIO PV and a PLC5 combination. Maybe someone out there can show me where I am going wrong.

  5. Thanks for the information. As usual RA information is very generic and dose not deal in specifics. I will give them a try and let you know which works out for my application. Robert
  6. Hi, I am trying to track the user login information on my panel view plus terminals and save it to a string file in my SLC 5/05 . Rockwell tells me to use a logout macro in RSView ME to send the user data to the ST file. I have set up the ST file in the plc and there is data being written to the file when the user logs out, the only problem is that the macro is supposed to update the string information with the user that is logging out, but it only results with writing "DEFAULT" to the string location in the PLC. Any ideas where I might be going wrong? BTW I have also tried using the MACRO attached to the login function, but due to the timing it dosen't work either.
