I am working on a project where an AB Guardmaster 440C is the logic solver for some SIL-rated interlocks. I need to be able to send reset bits over Modbus from a Micro870 PLC. I've got the 1761-BL-HM02 cable connecting the 8-pin serial ports. I've got the code going on the Micro870 ladder logic, and it's not giving an error, but I am not getting any data transfer.

My serial port settings on the 870:

I'm having the same problem writing to the 440C.

I'm hoping it's something simple that I'm overlooking; I've got the ladder logic set up just like the example in the 440C manual, but there's not much information on the mechanics of it all.

Thank you!
