My company has recently brought a new laptop for me without a serial port.
I have purchased a USB to DH485 Interface Converter to try and use as the missing port. Recommended by Rockwell.
I cannot seem to set it up to work in the desired way.
What the aim of this all is, is to gain access to the tags within an SLC 5/04 via RSView studio & serial.
I can connect to the processor via DH+, but I have very little experience in this area, and i'm not sure how I could access the tags via DH+.
The question now being, can anyone tell me how to either setup the 1747-UIC to act as a RS232 device or can anyone tell me how I can access the PLC tags via DH+ and view them in RSView.
A very scetchy description I know, but I'm doing my best.
