pingwindaboss Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Whenever I try to connect with Samba (SM35-J-R20) via VisiLogic (9.7.9 Build2 OS Windows7 32 bit) i receive error 206 (Communication driver error), I/m unable even to get com parameters by connection->Communication &OS-->PLC Status I have tried Build in port as well as USB-rs232 converter, checked port nr, baud, fifo etc...Cable is fine - works perfectly on laptop with win XP. Following instructions concerning UAC did nothing, as well as running as administrator.Downloading new install file also didn't helped...Once in a while whole application crashes (Some infinite comm loop?).Is there any other options i could try?

Once in a while whole application crashes (Some infinite comm loop?). Is there any other options i could try? Hi, Several questions: 1. Can you connect to the Samba PLC from the laptop running Windows XP? 2. Can you connect to other PLC's from Visilogic on Windows 7? 3. What type of USB to RS232 converter are you using?
