AB Micrologix 1000 questions
AB Micrologix 1000 questions
(OP)
Its been years since I've done an AB PLC, last ones were way back in time with the SLC500 bricks.
Client *insisted* on a Micrologix. OK, so I now have a Micrologix1000, and gettng RSLOGIX updated to do the programming. I have a model 1761-L32AWA
Looking thru the manual, and googling some haven't come up with the comm port info. All I see is a single mini-DIN connector on top, next to the status lights. I assume this is the programming port, but is it DH+, DH485, what? I need to tie a panelview into this PLC as well, so do I use that same port?
Also, is this PLC expandable? I think so, most are, but again I dont see an expansion port.
Anyone familiar with these?

Do a copy paste. Also AIC #1761-Net-AIC will allow you to connect DH-485, which is Panelview friendly. Also, Rslinx can help with the communication problems. Good luck.

I just thought at least the documentation that came with it ought to have a little more explantion of the comm ports.
The link provided in the prior posting was helpful in that it did tell me I can't add an 10/100 module because there is no way to expand the I/O (good) and the port is RS232, so now I know what panelview interface to order.
Thanks folks
