Hi All,
First time on this forum.
Trying to figure out what software is required to communicate with a GE 90-30 IC693CPU331-AA.
Got a copy of Logicmaster 90 TCP and Proficy machine edition but neither able to communicate with the PLC. I am using a IC690USB901 USB to RS485 converter.
Logicmater is running in an XP virtual machine and I can see it trying to communicate with the PLC because I can see the TX led is flashing but it seems the PLC is not replying. Tried various baudrate setting but always the same 'NO COMMUNICATIONS' error.
PME is running under Windows 7 and I keep getting an error 'Cant go online' after 10 RETRY attempts. I have tried various baudrates/databits/stopbits settings as above.
Currently the PLC is up and running and I know the RS485 port on the power supply is working because it is communicating with the LCD panel attached to the port just fine.
Normally I am pretty good at figuring out serial communications errors but I am totally stumped with this one. Any help on figuring things out would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
