One way would be to configure the DF1 Driver (or a driver to another communication module), and in RSWho, browse across the backplane…
The “Ethernet Devices” Driver can be set up in RSLinx to communicate with Ethernet devices such as a ControlLogix Ethernet module, SLC 5/05 processor, an Ethernet PLC-5 processor, and many others. The advantage of Ethernet (vs. DF1) is the the communication speed is generally much faster. For example: If we flash a ControlLogix processor over…
The RSLinx DF1 Driver can be used for point to point communication between your workstation and an Enhaced PLC-5 Processor, SLC 5/03 or higher, or ControlLogix L6x or lower processor. This document assumes that Channel 0 of your processor has been left to factory defaults (DF1, RS232) 1) First connect your Null Modem cable between…

The L7x series processors do not have the standard serial port that the other processors have had in the past… Instead, you just use a USB Cable (A-Male to B-Male) such as you would find…
