Connecting to a Panelview 550
Connecting to a Panelview 550
(OP)
Hello: I've been having problems connecting to a Panelview 550 we have currently at the plant. I was using a RS232 cable. Then I was told that I needed a Null Modem cable, so I bought the Null Modem adapter for my RS232 and still am unable to connect. How do I set up this Null Modem cable on Linx? Do I set it up like any normal RS232 cable. Can someone help me out with some procedure to connect. I'll appreciate your help.

But a regular null-modem cable may be used with a null modem adapter, resulting in straight connection.
Eventually, the connection should be 2-2,3-3,5-5 for 9-pin connectors.
The PanelView communication settings must match the PC port (RS Linx) settings. You may use the Autoconfigure feature for DF1 driver.
Also, the PanelView may be configured for DH485 protocol- try the PIC driver in RSLinx.
