Does the HI 1746WS software work on DH+?

I am trying to use the HI WS100 Configuration software through RSLinx over DataHiway+ (DH-Plus). After entering the correct information on the Comm. Setup screen, when I go to any other screen the software starts loading (by the bar graph at the bottom of the screens). The software then locks up, the bar graph flickers and I have to use task manager to shut it down. Does the HI WS100 software work on DH+?

The HI WS100 Configuration software should work with any of the RS Linx drivers according to Rockwell. However, Hardy does not have all the drivers, so we can only say for sure it will work with the serial driver AB_DF1, and AB_ETH-1, as these are the only ones we have tested it with.

With the symptoms you describe, the things to look for are:
1. Verify the I/O configuration for the HI 1746WS module has the M file lengths set to 128 each.
2. Have the proper slot number on the HI WS100 comm screen.
3. Have the proper station number (note this is an octal value). You should be able to get this station (node) number by going to the "Processor Properties" in RS Logix.
4. Verify there are no other ladder logic instructions writing to the HI 1746WS modules' M0 file at the time you are using the HI WS100 software.
5. If the HI 1746WS module is in the local chassis, verify the boxes on the COMM screen (for use with SLC 5/02 or remote units) are not checked.
6. If the module is in a remote chassis, then there is other ladder logix support needed before communications can be established (refer to the HI WS100 manual for this).
