    What do you mean wiht inter PLC comms? Which method of communication are you using between the PLC's ?

    Hi Gambit, i mean we are using the JP_READ for Q12 with GX IEC Developer 7.04 and GX Works 2 using JP_READ with Q13 UDEH.

    Hi, I have an issue with a Q13UDEH being programmed with GX Works 2. I also have a Q12H already programmed with GX IEC Developer v7.04. The issue is that I cannot get inter plc comms working with the GX Works 2 , but yet it works with GX IEC Developer e.g. reads R800 to R899. Both PLC’s can see each other and can ping them, but not data exchange from Q12H to Q13UDEH..

    The connection to the from the HMI to the PLC is UDP not TCP. (take a look at your last screen capture...... 5006 UDP)

    You have to set up a melsoft connection but for UDP

     

     

    Hi, thanks for the Help. It seems the first issue was the GOT station number. I've got it as 1 in the above setup, it should be 60. Going play around with the melsoft settings for UDP as i have it working on TCP.

    Hi, i'm having a bit of trouble connecting my GOT 2508 to Q12 plc via ethernet. I have follwed the advice that GOT manuals have given me but i still cannot connect. I belive my GOT setting are correct now, but entirely sure they are correct in my Q12. I'm using GX IEC Develope 7.04.

     

    Thanks, Stuart

    You do have to be online.

    You have to start an edit after the initial browse.

    Make sure the modules are NOT inhibited before you schedule your network.

    Adding these new I/O modules will require that the L61 be placed in Program/Remote Program  before the scheduling can take place.

    Remember to check to see that the UMAX is set to a valid node number.

    Did this something similar to this onsite and it worked a treat :-)

    Hi All, I need to add an 1756-IF8 to my controlnet on a L61 PLC. I have already added the device to RSLogix 5000 and inhibited it for the moment. I have RSNetWorx for Controlnet version 11 as it is an older project. What do i need to do to schedule this device on controlnet? I've been told you need to be online with RSNetWorx and then do an upload, what else do you need to do to schedule this device. Any help greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks Stu

    One thing I hate when I post a question on a forum is when "that guy" posts back - RTFM :)

    That said, on page 149 and 150 of the manual for the card it gives you the pinout of the DB9 (page 149) and the pinout of the RJ45 to DB9 adapter cable that comes with the card (page 150). They are pinned 1-1, 2-2, etc 9 is the shield

    So for RS-485

    Pin 1 Tx/Rx D+

     Pin 5 GND

    Pin 8 Tx/Rx D-

     

    Thank you for your reply. I needed a bit confirmation that this was right, as the wiring will be using the RJ45 port to panel input/outputs for each core of the RJ45.

    Hi BCS, thanks for thorough response it's much appreciated I just need a compact flash card. Not got one here at the moment, but looking at the other thread i'm sure this will work. Thanks again for all the hard work, hopefully i will get the compact flash card then i can you and others that read this tread know. Stu PS HMI is from a sewage works, so very far from British Intelligence

    Hi, thanks for the response. I'm lucky enough to have one of those hmi's with no white screen. I've tried the keyboard but could not get in that way. The hmi does have a "GO TO CONFIG" but it is password protected. So can't determin ip address of hmi there, so i will either after do a factory reset or scan with a ip scanner to determin the ip address of the hmi. Or update the firmware Thanks Stuart

    Hi, I have the above PLC. That I need to put the MBOC on. Currently the PLC has nearly been commissioned, so it has PLC code, setpoint etc. I will save these. When I format the drive on the PLC for MBOC will I need the standard red serial cable for downloading to the PLC or will my Ethernet connection still work? Stu

    Hi, i have an existing 12 slot rack with a Q series processor with input and output modules. I want to add a new Q68ADI analog input module what steps should i be aware when installing this mode. What I know is that i will need to configure this card within the PLC parameters i/o assignment and to download the new parameters to the PLC using GX IEC Develop 7.04. But what other steps do i need to be aware of? Stu
