I am trying to diagnose an encoder issue. I have downloaded the program, however the goal is to see the thing during live operation.

Sorry about the mix up. Yes it is a compact. The existing ports are all in use. The only free port is a mb+ port.

Hi All, I have a bm85 I am trying to connect to a quantum 984-265 via a bm85-000 base model. I have ports 1-4 configured as P>PORT NUMBER# 1 2 3 4 [1, 2, 3, 4]<T>Port Type master master master master [m, s, n, x]<N>Slave Dev Addr - - - - [1 - 247]<B>Baud Rate 9600 9600 9600 9600 [300 - 19200]<S>Stop Bits 1 1 1 1 [1, 2]<R>Parity even even even even [n, o, e]<M>Mode rtu rtu rtu rtu [a, r]<Y>Priority 1 2 3 4 [1 - 4]<L>Link Timeout - - - - [1 - 3000]<F>Modem Booster - - - - [y, n] V2 Entry for p1 <E1 > [001]= 020 000 000 000 000 v2 entry for p2None configured v2 for entry for p3 <E1 > [002]= 020 000 000 000 000 v2 for entry for p4 <E1 > [001]= 020 000 000 000 000 I am using fastrax plc software to connect. I am using a 990NAA26320 able with the 1/4/6 not connected. According to my cursory glance at the x10 and x1 ports there is a plc on id 20 and high speed controller on id 21 All ports do not provide connectivity. So what am I missing? These all connect back via the 990 cable to a prolific db9 to usb convert then into a laptop.

Understood, what would be the best way to connect to it? The TSXCUSBMBP.... is there any other options that are less than 1000 in price?

I have a modbus plus port on a tsx compact 984-265. I would like to talk over this 9 pin serial connection. Except all I see that works for this is the SA85/TSXCUSBMBP which appear to be in the 1500-3000$ range. Does anyone have any cheaper options? I also have two existing normal modbus ports I can connect to. However they are currently in use. I am not sure about splitting wires to do this. Does anyone have any options to talk to a mod bus plus port using a db9 adapter from a laptop?
