They were always enumerated as COM1 and COM2.īut USB/RS232 converters can be any COMx number that the driver assigns.
RSLINX CLASSIC 2.57 SERIAL
In the old days, your computer had one or two serial ports. Let's also talk about one of the basic principles of USB/RS232 converters the COM port number. DHCP's IP address is 192.168.1.1 Same as the ip address on the ML1100 LCD screen.(If this has anything to do with the discussion). Just found out that Windows 8 PC has Auto Configuration as well as DHCP Server enabled. The IP address on the ML1100 LCD screen is 192.168.1.1 You might just have your PC and the MicroLogix not on the same IP network. In all previous versions of Windows, the most straightforward way to determine your computer's IP address was to open a CMD window and type "ipconfig /all".īecause your computer apparently is missing the classic PING command it's possible that it was configured to lack some of the basic networking tools. What is the actual IP address of your Windows 8 PC ? What is the actual IP address shown on the MicroLogix 1100 LCD screen ? This is basic IP networking, so there are thousands of tutorials and textbooks on it. Whenever you are going to communicate with a device over a local Ethernet network, you need to have your computer configured for an IP address that is on the same logical IP subnet. The MicroLogix 1100 sounds like it does have an IP address configured.
RSLINX CLASSIC 2.57 HOW TO
May you give some guidance as to how to do this, please? At least then I would know the ports, cables etc. I do not know how to use a serial terminal like Real Term. Yes, I did change the serial port to DCCOMM as the default setting with no luck. I do not quite understand the advise about downloading version 3.6, as RSLinx Classic Lite is always free from AB website.? I would have used all these time reading up on something else. Good to know that no version of RSLinx Classic Lite is supported in Windows 8. I did not see anything about BOOTP/DHCP settings in advanced settings. Yes, I did see the Mac/Ip address for the controller and PING it but it came up as: not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. That will at least verify that the serial port on the controller, the serial cable, and your USB/RS232 converter are functional. If you're comfortable with using a serial terminal like RealTerm, you could send the hex bytes "10 05" to the serial port at 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and you should get the MicroLogix port to echo "10 05" back to you. On the serial port, you can use the DCOMM button to force the port to the default settings.
RSLINX CLASSIC 2.57 SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD
See if you can download version 3.6, as RSLinx Classic Lite is always available free of charge from the main RA software download site. I don't think any versions of RSLinx Classic are supported in Windows 8, but version 2.57 predates Windows 7. Type the IP address of the controller into a web browser and you should see the diagnostic web pages. You can verify IP connectivity using PING or by using HTTP. If there is an IP address assigned, it will show both the MAC ID and the IP Address. If there is no IP address assigned, the Advanced Settings will show the MAC ID only.

See the "Using the LCD" section in the 1763-UM001 User Manual to see how to navigate the LCD screen to the Advanced Settings section, where you can see the IP address (or the DHCP/BOOTP settings). The MicroLogix 1100 will show you the IP address using the keypad/LCD, but it won't let you configure them.
