PVPlus 1000 - SLC 5/05
PVPlus 1000 - SLC 5/05
(OP)
Hello,
I'm trying to setup a serial connection between these two devices and am not having any luck. All I get is "the tag...has not been activated" error messages on the PVP and no activity on the RS232 port of the SLC 5/05. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Steve
PS I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm a PVP virgin. ;)

RE: PVPlus 1000 - SLC 5/05
You have to setup the communication path under the "Target" tab, for RSLinx Enterprise.
I've seen the error message that you mention before, and seem to recall that it may have been a communications issue.
My other guess is that perhaps an address used in the application doesn't exist in the PLC?

Also, when you use use a laptop/desktop computer to test the application you use a CP3 cable. However, when you go from the PV+ to the PLC you have to use a straight through (NC13)cable. It's kind of wierd, but they wanted to keep it the same as the PV standard.
If the cabling and driver are correct, it's probably something to do with the target tab settings.

Look on page 128 of the Pdf file for communications. You need a hub/Cat5 patch cable, or a crossover cable. Try any computer store. The rest is setup in RSview Studio ME.
