This section covers RSLinx driver setup, and OPC setup using the
RSLinx OPC Server.
RSLinx Classic Drivers
Configuration
The Powermonitor 1000 unit EDS file should be installed on the
computer running RSLinx software before configuring drivers. RSLinx
software supports DF1 Half-duplex, DF1 Full-duplex, and EtherNet/IP
network communication.
Configure DF1 Half-duplex Slave
You need to use a RS232 to RS485 converter like the 1761-NET-AIC or
B&B Electronics Converter – Model 485SD9TB.
1. Create a DF1 Polling Master Driver in RSLinx software.
2. Verify that the communication rate in the Port Configuration tab
is the same as the communication rate set for your power
monitor.
3. Set the Error Checking Mode in the DF1 Protocol Settings tab to
CRC.
4. Set the Destination Station Out-of-List Strategy in the Polling
Strategies tab to Allow Msgs to Stns that are not in lists.
5. Perform an RSWho to verify that RSLinx software is
communicating to the power monitor.
RSLinx software driver configuration is complete.
