Posted 23 Aug 2018 I am trying to upload program from panelview 600 with a windows xp pc using true serial port. The HMI has device net and rs232 port I am using straight rs232. Is there any set up or can i upload from the memory card attached to hmi. The HMI has a glare and display is not visible, we are trying to upgrade to panelview plus. Thanks Model 2711-B6C10x FRN 4.48 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2018 The only problem that could arise if it had a printer attached to that serial port. Otherwise typically that port will be ready to upload. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2018 How to verify if that port was ser for printer?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2018 Normally you would look at the PV's configuration screen. But sense you cannot, it's a good bet that if no printer is connected to it then it's probably still set at it's default DF1 protocol. Just configure RSLinx for DF1 protocol and click on autoconfigure to get connected. You do have Panelbuilder32 software to upload the program? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2018 Using RSLinx and straight rs232 cable I set up df1 but no luck communicating. I do have panelbuilder 32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Aug 2018 (edited) What happens when you click on "AutoConfigure" If autoconfigure does not work you might try setting RSLinx up manually PV default.. Baud Rate 9600 Error CRC No Parity 8 data bits 1 stop bit no handshaking Are you using a USB to serial adapter? Not all work.
