To connect my laptop to the PanelView Plus 7 and view ladder logic while operating a MicroLogix 1500 PLC, I need to establish a connection between the devices. How can I achieve this?
Do you know which version of the Micrologix 1500 PLC you have? The LRP models come with an additional 2nd serial port.
I'm a bit unclear on your goal here. Are you looking to supervise PLC logic using RSLogix 500 while the HMI remains connected to the same PLC? How exactly are they linked? Is an Ethernet gateway being utilized in this setup?
Joseph_e2 inquired about the monitoring of PLC logic with RSLogix 500 while the HMI is connected to the PLC. The connection between them was done using a 9300-USBCBL-PM02 cable, which converts serial to USB. Can you provide more details on how they are linked together? Perhaps through an Ethernet gateway?
OkiePC asked about the model of your Micrologix 1500. The LRP versions come with an additional 2nd serial port. In this case, you have the LSP model with only one serial port available.
While I have never personally used the Micrologix serial port splitter with model number 1747-DPS1, it seems that purchasing a Micrologix 1400 or four Click Plus PLCs with I/O modules may be more cost-effective options based on a quick search.
To establish a connection between your laptop and the PanelView Plus 7 while operating a MicroLogix 1500 PLC, you might need an RSLogix Emulate. It is software that can be used to create a virtual environment where you can test the Ladder Logic before transferring it to the hardware. Once both devices are properly configured, connect them using an Ethernet cable. Then, use the RSLogix 5000 software on your laptop to view and edit the ladder logic. Don't forget to check for compatibility issues, as this can commonly cause connection problems.
