rslinx classic lite micro820 configuration

RSLinx Lite is fine, but has limited access to 6 DeviceNet nodes. As Ken said, you would just use whatever communication method (and hence RSLinx driver needed), to 'hook-up' to your hardware to allow you to do 'online' things. Suppose you have a Serial connection to your PLC setup, RSLinx would need a Serial driver.ditto Suppose you have a USB connection to your PLC setup, RSLinx would need a USB driver.ditto (although this driver would be 'plug and play', you wouldn't have to create it yourself. Suppose you have an Ethernet connection to your PLC setup, RSLinx would need an Ethernet driver to enable comms into the system, so that RSLogix5000 can 'attach' itself to the controller for online programming/monitoring/upload/download, and RSNetworx can 'attach' itself to the devices on the network for configuration/upload/download of the device parameters. RSLinx does nothing to enable communications from your PLC to the devices on your network. RSLogix5000, RSNetworx, etc.) to talk to the A-B hardware. RSLinx is a communications driver package that just allows the software on your PC (eg.

Hi Peter, Ken has already given you some valuable information regarding RSLinx, but please let me amplify on what has been said. I have done extensive searching and reading of the manuals but am still unsure of what I should be seeing. I am not sure it’s configured correctly as there is no input data coming from the VSDs. I Know that the actual polled data is in the Devicenet memory allocated in the Controller Tags. And the ‘Discover Modules’ is grayed out. (as a side note, I don’t understand why I have to pay to find out how to configure windows to work with the expensive software.) In RsLogix I have the Scanner installed but cannot see the drives in the tree.

I don’t want to pay the cash unless I need it. I am not a member of Techconnect and cannot see the solution. I understand that is a problem with 64 bit but have not resolved it.

In RSLinx do I need to create a Devicenet driver to allow the communications? In Linx there is no option for the devicenet driver. This is where I’m now not sure of what I’m doing and have a couple of questions. I have created the Devicenet config file for use in the Logix program and have that loaded and the scanner switched to RUN. I have configured both and can see the whole network in RSLinx under the EthernetIP route. I set up the network in RSNetworx and can see the scanner and the VSDs. I don’t have much of and EDS file but it uses 4 words in and 4 out.

I have a 1756-DNB scanner and am connecting to 3 VFDs. Also using Factorytalk SE and ME for the HMIs. I have RSNetworx for DeviceNet V11, Rslogix 5000 V20, Rslinx Classic Lite 2.59 (should not be lite, need to find out why) Running on Windows 7 64 Bit. I have a new project and have just moved on to using DeviceNet. Thanks in advance for all your help and information I have already received as a non member.
