Communication between PC and PLC
PC and PLC communicate via the RS232 interface of the PC and the CPU of the PLC
(ALLEN-BRADLEY) (see Tab. 14-1,
).
Communication is controlled by the “ RSLinx” program. It must be configured and activated before
online programming starts.
Tip!
“ RS Linx” must not be closed, but minimised (the bottom task bar must show the symbol to indicate
that communication is possible).
1. Start “ RS Linx”
2. Select Communication / Configure drivers
3. Select
RS-232 DF1 devices. Confirm with Add new. The connection is automatically
configured. Find a name with max. 15 characters.
