redlion hmi G07 to click plc communications

[mike4766]

Hello ALL,

I am having problems setting up comms between Redlion G07 and Automation Direct Click PLC.


If the drop numbers (and baud etc) are set identically in both the HMI and PLC then both the Tx and Rx on the PLC lights blink. (indicating PLC is ok?).But i have solid redlight and blinking green on RS-485 port (RS-232)on hmi.i tried using both RS-485 and RS- 232


If the drop number assigned to the PLC slave is anything other than '0' (in the HMI com port set up as assigned to the Click) then I get CommError=2 on the HMI.

Please Help Me!

CLICK Basic PLCs have two built-in RS-232 communications ports: one programming port and one that can be configured for either MODBUS RTU or ASCII protocols.
How have you configured the port?
Is the Redlion G07 configured the same way?

Yeah i made sure that everything(baud rate ,parity,stop bits) are same on both.

This is the chapter on setting up the ports on the Click.

What is the protocol that you are using?
MODBUS RTU or ASCII

This must be configured before communications can start.
