I’ve gotten several questions about how to connect to the ControlLogix L7x processors using a USB Cable using RSLinx Classic.<\/p>\n

The L7x series processors do not have the standard serial port that the other processors have had in the past…\u00a0 Instead, you just use a USB Cable (A-Male to B-Male) such as you would find for a standard printer.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0 Verify you have RSLinx Classic 2.57 or higher installed.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0 Connect your cable from your workstation to your processor.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0 If this is the first time you’ve connected to this type of processor, the windows driver installation wizard will appear.\u00a0 Just choose to install the software automatically.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0 Open RSLinx Classic<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0 Under the Communications menu, choose RSWHO.<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0 Click the + next to the USB driver, and an icon of your processor will appear to verify that you are connected.<\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0 You do not need to configure the USB driver within RSLinx!!!!\u00a0 It will appear automatically.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
