Hi all,
I have some issues with a Modicon 984-385E on a machine we recently acquired. The unit was operational before it was moved but the genius that "un-wired" it evidently only had side cutters, and labels seem to have been out of the question. I need to see the program to make sense of things. I am not Modicon proficient at all. I have modsoft 2.21 on Win ME (might be an issue?), my cable pinout is correct (per Schneider and other posts). When I try to download the program modsoft runs for a bit then locks up. I get no comm errors but I get NO activity on the modbus LED either. Modsoft seems to be seeing the plc on the Comm port because when cable is unplugged i do get a comm error. Does anyone have any ideas other than I am an idiot(I am already aware of that)??
