Question

The software installed but did not create a link. What do I do?

Answer

Locate the DSX00.ini file (X can be 2,3,4, or 5) in the Windows directory. Find [devasync.dll] and set all except the current comm port in use =0. i.e. If comm1 is being used to connect the PC to PLC it should look like this :

[devasync.dll]
COM1Enable=1
COM2Enable=0
COM3Enable=0
COM4Enable=0
COM4=4,3,2,0,0 }
COM3=4,3,2,0,0 } these settings will vary
COM2=4,3,2,0,0 } from PC to PC
COM1=4,3,3,0,2 }
ModemEnable=0
COM5Enable=0
COM8Enable=0
COM7Enable=0
COM6Enable=0

[devether.dll]
EthernetEnable=0
Ethernet=3,25,5000,0,0,1,0
