Micrologix Offlink Driver

I have a 1785-KT in the pc talking to several SLC500s on DH+ using the ABTCP500 driver successfully. Each SLC500 has a couple of Micrologix (1000, 1500) connected via DH-485 using 1761-NET-AIC. For one particular instance: SLC500 is node 5, the micrologix is node 29. RSLINX Gateway reports the connection topic as : "AB KT-1\005\Link 1\29".

I've tried simply using ABTCP500 with 1KT:0,29 or 1KT:5, L:1, 29 with no success. I tried using ABRSLINX500 with various address forms. none of the help examples match my situation. Interestingly RSLINX also reports that it is using 1785-KA/5130KA bridge device (which there isn't) Local ID = 0 Remote ID = 1 Local KA5 = 5 Data Sidewalk (DH485)

Am I wasting my time - is there a way for Citect to talk to node 29 on DH-485 out of an SLC using DH+?
