RSLinx Classic v2.57.00 and later requires installation of a compatible version of FactoryTalk Services Platform software. When you install or upgrade RSLinx Classic, make sure you also install or upgrade a compatible version of FactoryTalk Services Platform.

The installation of RSLinx Classic includes Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1. During the RSLinx Classic installation, you are prompted to automatically install this component if it is not already present.

If you want to backup or restore the RSLinx Classic configurations, you must have Windows administrator privileges on the computer. If you do not have Windows administrator privileges, you cannot backup or restore the RSLinx Classic configurations.

If you have a disconnected network drive mapping and the server machine is not up, RSLinx Classic hangs for up to two minutes during startup as it checks the dead drive for an activation file. To work around this, either disconnect the drive mapping if you no longer need it, or if your activations are all on the C drive, add CHECKDRIVES=C to the [Common] section of the %WINDIR%\ROCKSOFT.INI file.

You cannot configure a 1747-PIC driver while RSLinx Classic is running as a service. Configure a PIC driver only if RSLinx Classic is running as an application, and the Reserve COM Port for Exclusive use by this Driver is enabled. This checkbox ensures RSLinx Classic works properly if you run it as a service. Then, when backing up and restoring the driver, update the COM Port for the PIC on the Communication Port (COM1) in the device manager.

As a workaround, open the help files from the installation DVD or copy them to a folder on your local computer. If you want the help files to be accessible from a network directory (shared folder), you must use the Registry Editor to modify certain registry entries. Microsoft does not recommend you doing this, but provides the steps in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 896054.

When using RSWho to select a processor for RSLogix5, RSLogix500, or RSLogix Frameworks, you cannot go online to that processor if you select it using the RSWho Linx Gateways driver. To select a processor connected to a Linx Gateway, configure a RSLinx Classic driver using the Remote Devices via Linx or 1756-ENET Gateway driver. Only selections made from the RSWho Linx Gateways driver are unusable.

In Logix Designer, you can change the External Access attribute for a tag while online with the controller (for controllers that support External Access). Please be aware of the following issues that may require you to restart RSLinx Classic and data clients:

When Windows 3.x was replaced by Windows 95, to get the PIC to work again the Win95 comm. port driver had to be re-written. ICOM, since merged into Rockwell Software, rewrote the Windows 95 comm.drv, however it took many months and was not available until many complaints had flowed in.

2. Controller Communications tag is selected. Click the driver arrow and select the driver to be used for downloading. Select EMU500-1 for use with RSEmutae500. Default processor address is 1, only must be changed if it are using a different address. Then click on OK.

1, TSXPCX3030-C is the TSXPCX3030-C cable driver, please install it first.

2. When programming the Twido series PLC with the TSXPCX3030-C cable, in addition to installing the programming software, you need to install the Modbus driver. The Modbus driver version cannot be lower than 1.1.

3. When the user uses the PL7 software to program the Micro or Premium series PLC, the Uni-telway driver needs to be installed. The Uni-telway driver cannot be lower than 1.6.

With most modern PLCs, all you need to start programming or troubleshooting is to plug in your laptop with a plain old ethernet cable. Older PLCs, however, tend to use a myriad of different cables and protocols. With a large number of legacy systems, the original programming cables and software are often long lost by the time you want to make updates or need to troubleshoot an issue.

If you have access to the original PLC program (typically a .RSS file) and a copy of the RSLogix 500 programming software (contact your A-B distributor if you need one), you can open the project and check the communication settings by double-clicking on Channel Configuration under the controller section of the project tree:

DH-485

This protocol requires a special USB converter, the 1747-UIC, which you can order from A-B or find a number of 3rd party versions online. In addition, you will need the female-to-female null modem crossover DB9 serial cable or a straight-through RJ45 ethernet cable, depending on which port you want to connect to. Make sure you also set the selector switch to RS232 or RS 485.

The 1747-UIC adapter only supports 19200 baud out of the box. If you have an original A-B unit, it is possible to change to the baud rate to 9600 by following the steps in this Rockwell knowledgebase document (requires creating a free account and logging in).

DF1

From the drop-down, select RS-232 DF1 devices and click Add New. Select the right COM port and click Auto-Configure. The driver should be able to figure out the correct settings.

Connecting RS485 (DH485) from PLC to RS232 (9 pin port) on a PC (laptop) can be simple as having the correct cable. But the evolution of computers has made the conversion not quite so simple nowadays. Most computers (laptops) nowadays do not have a 9 pin RS232 serial port but utilize USB ports.

As shown in the video about Allen Bradley PLC Cables (AB Demo on YouTube), you can not use the AB PIC box (RS485 to RS232 converter cable) with a USB to RS232 converter cable. You must get a single cable designed to convert RS485 to USB. As there are electronics involved, it is not just straight wiring. Then with some PLC vendors, they might slightly modify the protocol so you have to buy the RS485 to USB converter directly from the PLC vendor. Like AB uses what they call "DH485" and sells a 1747-UIC converter to do the job with one cable.

You can also use an RS232 port replicator (plugs into your PCMCIA slot instead of using a USB to RS232 converter cable). The port replicator creates a com 1 as if it is the original laptop comport, in contrast to the USB to RS232 converter which randomly picks a com port number (except com 1), like com 13 for example. You still can not use the port replicator with a PIC box (RS232 to RS485 converter), but it is easier to use with a serial null modem cable than a USB to RS232 converting cable because the PLC communication software (like RSLinx) also defaults to com 1.

To find out what com port your USB to RS232 cable driver decided to use, you need to view [Device Manager] - To open Device Manager, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager. Scroll down to "Ports" one in the list will be your USB to RS232 driver and you will see the com port number to the right of it. Then you can go to RSLinx or whatever your PLC communication software is, and set com port accordingly for the RS232 driver in RSLinx.

When using a USB to RS232 converter cable with the PLC vendor's RS485 to RS232 cables, like the AB PLC cable, you not only have the electronics, com 1 dependency; but also a driver for the USB converter cable, drivers for the RS485 cable, and drivers for the PLC software like RSLinx.

All the drivers, software, and hardware leave a lot of room for conflicts, incompatibility, and headaches. So save yourself some headaches and use a PCMCIA com port replicator instead of a USB to RS232 converter cable.

On a side note: It has been indicated by experts in the field that an RS232 to RS485 converter does not work with a USB to RS232 converter cable because of the power requirements of the electronics in the RS485 converter and the communication speed requirements of the RS485 converter. It has been rumored that a Belkin USB to RS232 converter will work, but at this time we have not proved this. We stick with the non-OEM replacement for the 1747-PIC box, like the one provided with the AB Micro800 PLC Trainer or the Allen Bradley 1747-UIC specifically made to convert USB to RS484.
