CMM321-Kl and modbus TCP master

Hello! I'd like to know if someone can help me. I have a GeFanuc 90-30 with a CMM-EF module installed. The problem is that I need to communicate the PLC with a magmeter through Modbus TCP and read the liquid volume passed across the instrument.I've reading about IC693CMM321-Kl and other older versions that features the COMMREQ function for the task. Thanks in advance

Maybe someone can help. What are you reading? What is your question?
You should read this manual GFK-0582: http://support.ge-ip.com/support/se.../index?page=docchannel&id=S:DO272&actp=search
The -EF is much older than the -KI or is it -KL? The first letter here is the hardware version, the second firmware revision. IIRC there are three generations of hardware versions where the older ones will not accept firmware designed for the newer ones. Some of the old ones can't do MB TCP/IP. Details can be found here: http://support.ge-ip.com/support/se...rt/index?page=dwchannel&id=S:DN38&actp=search

You will need to write a couple of COMM_REQs to use Modbus TCP/IP communications.

BTW, that module is obsolete and has not been manufactured for about three years.

Thanks for your reply!! Dear friend, the CMM321 which I was talking for is the IC693CMM321-KL.I never had used it before, so I'm not sure if it will work (cause that I was asking for help). Did you work with it before?. Here(Chili) this module is very expensive and I just want to be sure that it will work (Although I've found it in USA a bit cheaper than here).
PD: Do you have this manuals to send?. I had some troubles with the registration in GE website.

Best regards.

GFK-0582 is too large for my server, your GEIP rep should be able to help or use the help link on the log-in page.
BTW, the link for this above goes to the wrong file, here is the correct one: DO225

To help clarify and add to Russ B comments Modules with Firmware -A B C D E does not do Modbus Communications. You need module with FG or later. Due to this module not being manufactured anymore. If you are to locate them they are extremely pricy. Not to mention in 5 years you might not be able to find any. What I have been doing is upgrading to the RX3i some places want that much for a CMM321 module and it is more cost affective and a more reliable choice to upgrade. With that said and to add to Russ's comments. The 90-30 with the CMM321 REV Fx or better you need to do COMM_REQ with BLKMOV. Here is an example of Opening a channel request. Use the GFK2220..as a reference Hope it helps.
