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.
