Hi there,
I am trying to get my CS1G plc to talk with an animatics smart motor. What I am trying to achieve is to send the letter 'G' to the smart motor so the led will go from red to green just so I know it is talking with the rs232. Here is what I've accomplished so far.
Used hyperterminal to make sure the built in rs232 is outputting the correct ascii which it is. Used hyperterminal to send the letter G to the smart motor, connected to the computer using a serial to usb adapter, which changed the led from red to green. I should mention the smart motor has a female rs232 port.
Now here is what I am stuck on. When I send 'G' through the built in rs232 port, nothing happens to the smart motor led. This is the current cable connection that I have
PLC | Smart Motor
2(TX)-3(RX)
3(RX)-2(TX)
9(SG)-5(SG)
On the plc side, 4 and 5 are shorted.
In the attached pictures below shows screenshots from the smart motor manual stating that no handshake protocol is needed. DTR,DSR,RTS,CTS. I tried them anyways with no results. Made sure all the communications settings were correct. I cannot think of a possible reason why this would not work.
Would anybody have any insight?
Thanks
