(OP)
We just got a new rugged laptop in for our electricians and I am trying to get PLC 500 dos base software to work with my PIC. The problem is that I have windows 2000 professional and they are not very compatiable. I have seen this work before using the rs linx to communicate but have been unable to figure out how to make it work. I have the 1747-PIC configured as my driver in rs linx but cain't get the ACH. program to see it. I was wondering if anyone out there has run into this problem and was able to solve it?
Thanks in advance.

I do not think that the APS software uses RsLinx. The DOS based software is called APS. Shutdown RsLinx completely as it is probably using the com port.

SLC 5/03 and higher have a built in serial port. You can connect directly using a null modem cable.
