Step 3) Now from the Available Driver Types drop down list select the Ethernet/IP driver, a driver which will attempt to automatically find your MicroLogix on Ethernet:
Step 2) Next launch RSLinx Classic, and then under the Communications menu select Configure Drivers: Ping 192.168.1.10) as explained in this article.
Note: If you have a newer PC your Ethernet port will likely support “Auto MDI-X,” in which case you can also use a standard Ethernet patch cable. You can also connect directly using an Ethernet crossover cable.
While many with Ethernet experience will know how to accomplish the above, for those less experienced I'll add some additional info below: The easiest way to obtain this is to connect them both to the same physical network and logical network. The first step is to insure you have Ethernet connectivity between your PC and MicroLogix PLC.
And for images of the MicroLogix 1400 communications ports see this article.
If you'd prefer to setup communications using serial RS232 DF1, see this article. You'll also want to make sure you know the Ethernet address of your MicroLogix 1400 which you can find by following this article.
Notes and prerequisites: Before you begin, insure you have the correct software.
Essentially a manual patch to create the needed registry key (the driver DLL turns out to be installed already). It has allowed me to get the emulator to show up in RSLinx 2.59 running Win 7 圆4 Pro. I received the following from RA support. Buscando dentro de diferentes foros encontré una solución que funcionó.Įn la versión de RSLinX 2.59 no me permitía configurar el driver EMU500-1 (directamente no me aparecia). En este tiempo aprendí a usar las herramientas de simulación de la familia Rockwell Automation (RSEmulate 500 y RSLogix Chasis emulator 5000).Įn este tutorial les cuento como solucione un problema con un driver que no me aparecía dentro de la plataforma de RSLinx Classic. Entre los cursos que estoy haciendo y pruebas en programación siempre me encuentro con dificultades al no contar con un plc físico.
