I have successfully interfaced the Micrologix 1400 and my panelview 1000. In the process I used the RS-232 DF1 driver to communicate with the PLC. At some point I had to disconnect RSLinx Classic so that RSLinx Enterprise could communicate with the PLC as well. The problem I have is that I need to go back to RSLinx Classic, but RSLinx Enterprise is still using (Mode: Online) the RS-232 F1 driver. How do I stop/prevent RSLinx Enterprise from using the driver? Thank you. For instance RSLinx Classic has a "Launch Control Panel" to Stop or Start it. Thank you,

Travis, what you have in LAD2 sounds good. However the code already written similar or the same as to what you did on LAD3, but without the (L) or (U). Also, on LAD3, I can't see the code returning to execute from (starting from) RUNG 10 once all rungs are executed for the first time??? I have included a copy of the file I need help with. as you can see, on Rung 29, bit B43:2/1 gets set, which forces the code to execute starting at RUNG 10 until the STOP button is pressed. I think what you did on LAD2 will work more effectively. I will give it a try.    HT MODIFIED 2_19_16_LAD4.pdf

The PLC being used is a Micrologix 1400. 

Hi I have a project with a robotic arm, which is currently working, but not in a continuous closed loop sequence. Is there a PLC sample code where continuous closed-loop control is used? In my case, during the first pass: The code executes rungs 0 through 21. When the process is done the first time, it should go back and start executing from rung 10 through 21 and repeat this process until the "STOP" PB is pressed. when the "STOP" PB is pressed, the code clears all register's bits being used and it stops execution until the "START" PB is pressed it starts from rung 0 again.  Thank you,   

Hi, I will be using Ethernet communication with a cross over e-thernet cable through a e-thernet switch. The panelview PN is 2711P-T10C4A1 Ser. A.  The PV to Micrologix interface PDF guide you pointed out above it is almost perfect. this will almost match what I need to do. The B9 & N7 registers mentioned on it, are the registers used for indirect addressing, but I still need to do how to use them or set them up on RSLogix 500 and Panelview. I will use that tutorial to see if I can get somewhere, but if you have any other ideas, please share.  Also, I have a robotic arm that is operated from a 1400 micrologix plc. I will make another post for that...

Hi is there a sample PLC code (link/tutorial/guide) on how the interface between a micrologix 1400 and a panelview 1000 HMI is done? I know it has to be done using indirect addressing mode, but I am not sure how to do it. Thanks in advance.
