Hello! I'm trying to get acces to the plc via c-commands (e.g. RD, TS, ...). I'm using the Omron cable CS1W-CN226 and the COM1 from my laptop (no USB-serial converter). First I tried it with a self-created VBA-Code, then with the "C-Mode Hostlink Demonstration Program" from the forum's download area. Both send the same string over the RS232, but in both ways I get no information back! I checked the peripheral settings of the plc by using Auto-Online in CX-Programmer. It's 19200, 8, N, 1. The same settings I'm using in my application, but it won't work. All DIP-switches on the plc are off. Hope, you can help me! Greetz
