Hey there, how are you all doing? I'm currently troubleshooting an issue with connecting a PowerFlex drive 753 using a 1203-SSS cable through RSlinx Classic. I have encountered some errors and have included an image displaying these errors. In the configuration dialog box, I have inputted the following parameters: - Comm Port: PC's communication port - Device: 1770-KF2/1785-KE/SCANport - Baud Rate: Adapter's baud rate - Station Number: 00 - Parity: None - Error Checking: BCC - Stop Bits: 1 - Protocol: Full Duplex Despite setting the parameters correctly, RSlinx is displaying an error message stating "rslinx device not recognized," and the Connected Components Workbench is unable to establish a connection with the device as it does not appear in the options. Can anyone provide assistance with resolving this issue?
Inquiring about connecting a PowerFlex drive 753 with a 1203-SSS cable is DanteLuciano. Experiencing errors with RSlinx Classic, DanteLuciano seeks advice on resolving the issue. Details about the parameters set in the configuration dialog box are provided along with an image displaying the errors encountered. Despite configuring the parameters correctly, RSlinx displays an "Rslinx device not recognized" error, preventing connectivity with the device in CCW. Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
It is unlikely that the 1203-SSS device has autoconfiguration capabilities.
Hello, as pointed out by alan_505, autoconfiguration is not available for 1203-SSS. However, I have a functional configuration that I have successfully used on my PC. To set it up, follow these steps: - Comm Port: Use the Comm port on your PC - Device: Select 1770-KF2/1785-KE/SCANport - Baud Rate: Set the Baud Rate to 1203, typically defaulting to 19200 - Station Number: Enter 00 - Parity: Choose None - Error Checking: Use BCC - Stop Bits: Set to 1 - Protocol: Select Full Duplex This configuration has been proven to work effectively for me.
Hey there, it seems like you've done most of the initial troubleshooting correctly. However, one thing that comes to mind is checking whether you've configured the RSlinx driver correctly. It should be set to the RS-232 DF1 devices driver, not the "1770-KF2/1785-KE/SCANport" that you mentioned. In addition, make sure your cabling is set up correctly, sometimes a bad cable can just make everything not work as it should. Finally, update the firmware of your 753 drive if it's not up to date. Hope this helps!
Hey there! You've done well with configuring the settings properly. It seems like the problem could be with the Compatability setting. In RSLinx, there's a place in the driver configuration dialog box to set the parameters for the processor type. You might need to experiment a bit with that. Another possible issue could be the firmware version of your 1203-SSS converter. If the firmware is outdated, it might cause unrecognizable issues. I hope this helps! If you've already checked these, I'd suggest reaching out to the tech support for PowerFlex since they'd have more specific knowledge on their products.
