It seems that COM-ports are matching. Did you try it with another number (assign manually)?
I don't understand why the RS232 stopped working when you added the PLM-USB - I can't see there any relation.

Could you check on the device itself the communication settings? Baudrate of both interfaces (RS232 and USB-card) and the device address.

I changed the address of the device back on the RS232 and changed the address of # 2. PC has connected no problem..So I started to play no. device after switching to USB.Up to # 5 and will not make me any different . How do I find the address of the USB port on the controller?
