Does anybody have sample code for direct communications with an AB SLC500 processor using RS232?
Any tips are greatly appreciated.

You do not need RsLinx to communicate via DF1. DF1 is an "open" protocall, ie the commands are published. See the following link:

Using this refernece it is possible to write a routine is just about any language to communicate in DF1 over a serial port.
