This gives the fastest data rates and capacity possible, while minimizing the impact on your automation networks and control system operation. While FactoryTalk Linx interfaces with PLC-5 ®, SLC™ 500 and Micro800™ controllers, it is optimized to communicate with Logix 5000™ controllers using EtherNet/IP. This allows you to harness information in your control system to make smarter, faster business decisions that will help you maintain your competitive advantage.įormerly known as RSLinx ® Enterprise, FactoryTalk ® Linx is included with most FactoryTalk software and functions as the premier data server to deliver information from Allen-Bradley control products to the control system. No matter the size or nature of your application, we have communication solutions that provide greater operability between your Rockwell Automation and third-party devices, machines and software. At Rockwell Automation, technology advancements in connectivity software have made accessing and transporting data easier than ever before. I am scared to try this anymore via serial as in my research I keep seeing the word BRICK.As devices are getting smarter, so is the software that moves that device data. I have powered down to reset the PLC and still nothing. I get the Version number when I play around in RSLOGIX - I do a Who Active on the device and then Upload and it tells me that the Firmware in this device contains version 19.22 and RSLOGIX support for this version is not installed (because its a demo version).
I wanted to get the driver installed in #1 so that I can attempt this again via ethernet, but it still says V19.11.
As far as the firmware, yes it takes over a hour to re-download via serial and yes I have done it already. I don't know if this is caused because it is the LITE version. There are about 15 other drivers in the list and the only ones that mention or hint Ethernet are "Ethernet to PLC 5/SLC5/5820-El", "DeviceNet Drivers" and "Remote Devices via Linx or 1756 - ENET Gateway" I have already Uninstalled Both RSLogix and Linxs and reinstalled them with the same result.
