Hi there,
I guess its not that tough going online with this type of PLC, its quite simple , for the time being im using a CS1G CPU 45H
Make sure all the dip switches on the CPU are in OFF position.
1) First of all, creat a new project...
2) In the Change PLC Dialog Box select Device Type As--> CS1G-H 3) Device Type settings select the CPU type
4) In the Network Type select -->SYSMAC WAY
5) For the sysmac way settings let the network tab as default click on the Driver tab---> make sure the setting are Port Name: The Port you are using on your PC(Com1/Com2/Com3..anyone u are using), Baud Rate: let it be 9600 (for the time being , we will increase it later for faster communication) Data Bits: 7, Parity Even, Stop Bit:2
thats all click OK ...OK to change PLC dialog box....
Now the final step..... click go online icon and you are sure to get that .....
These steps must be followed when you are going online for the first time , that is if u haven't changed the default settings of the PLC .
If above does not work , ""by the way u haven't given us the configuration you are using , i mean is there any type of ethernet module or something ....i mean i could have helped u more if u have given the configuration details"" anyways , lets hope u get on line , now while online u have to click the setting icon in the left hand side of the window there you will find PLC Settings now click the Host Link Port tab.... in the communication setting select Custom change the baud rate to any thing in drop down list , let the format be 7,2,E...rest everything is OK....now click the Peripheral Port Tab do the same setting for this port also..... close this box....transfer the program+settings...everything to the PLC and after doing that u will get offline ...by getting the message communication error..... now get offline by clicking the online icon...Get the change PLC dialog box.......for SYSMAC WAY setting ...change the Baud Rate to the one you have just changed ...save everything ,....go online with higher speed now.....
....I guess thats all.... but if u still not able to go online , just give the details of the configuration, and all the dip switch settings...... one thing i forgot to say is if u still get the port error that the port is used by another application ,...try to reboot the system...or by any chance are u using ...FinsGateway things???...if u are using FinsGateway ,then try to stop the SerialUnit in FinsGateway Service Control Manager....if u are not using anything like this ..then its ok...... so all the best....
......
Let us us all know wat happened ........
