Trouble connecting to MicroLogix1000
Trouble connecting to MicroLogix1000
(OP)
It's been a couple of years since I used the Micrologix software. It is installed on the same laptop that was previously used.
1st I bring up RSlinx and config driver to DF1 com1.
It shows that it is runnning. Then I go to RSwho, autobrouse , it says that node 0 found, node 1 not found,
Serial is connecting to Com1 and system says that it is working, but cannot connect to 1000. Message that it can't find processor
Need help!!!!! Please

The 1000 belongs to a mfg company (one of several)
they saved them from discarded machines. Program is not known, they are wanting to use them on another piece of equipment. It apears that the controller has preprogramed timer or sequencer for output 0/0, when power is applied output 0/0 begans cycling. ????? I wanted to clear this program to start new. RSlinx just doesn't seem to find the controller.

Another possibility is that the PLC is configured for DH485 protocol, in which case you must use the PIC/AIC driver.
RE: Trouble connecting to MicroLogix1000
Tried PIC/AIC driver 19200, com1. station 00 after deleting DF1 driver shows that PIC driver is stopped. cannot start.
If i go to RSWho shows that Station 0 is brousing 31 nodes but doesn"t locate.....
I'm about ready to pull my hair out....

go to task mgr make sure rsobserv.exe is not running if it is end it.
then go start>>run>>regedit>>
Hkey_local_mach>>software>>rockwellsoftware>>rslinx>>drivers and rightclick delete the ab_df1 and ab_pic drivers
if running win xp then go to device mgr>>ports>>com1 right click and uninstall. reboot and reconfigure the pic driver
also are you using a usb2serial or not?
RE: Trouble connecting to MicroLogix1000
Maybe the injury damaged my brain, because this one has me stumped, never had this much trouble before.
Question: does the plc retain the com port settings of the program? No-matter what I do the communication between the PLC and laptop cannot be established. The program is sending packets but not receiving.
If I could just establish communications then I could erase the memory. I believe there is a handheld unit that will connect and allow a complete erase. But I didn't want to spend that much money. The software cost was extensive. That's the problem with AB they charge to much every way you turn. They won't even talk to you if you don't pay for surport.
I did as you sugested, but for some reason the pic driver willl not run.
RE: Trouble connecting to MicroLogix1000
is the cable a 1761-cbl-hmo2 from usb2ser>>plc?
suggest either computer with true serial port and configure the pic
or 1747-uic

RE: Trouble connecting to MicroLogix1000
Are you saying that if I use the DF1 driver that the serial adapter wil work but not if I use the PIC driver?
I didn't think that that mattered. Would the autoconfig DF1 driver change the original com setting in the PLC program? I thought that as long as the serial adapter and the driver were configured to same com port that all was fine>
RE: Trouble connecting to MicroLogix1000
df1 will work with the converter

Check your software compatibility - some of the earlier versions don't have the driver for the 1747-UIC.

walmart USB to serial cable that I would try it. Others tell me that it will not work, but it worked for me...
sometimes there can be a conflict between a certain cable and the computer.
