Hello,   I'm seeking some guidance and assistance regarding an issue I've encountered while configuring a Proline Promag W 400 flow meter module in Logix Designer. I'm experiencing the following error:   Error Code: 16#0009 Fault Additional Code: 16#0000 Fault Description: Module Configuration Rejected: Parameter Error   I've carefully reviewed the module documentation, verified the wiring connections, and ensured compatibility between the flow meter module (Serial Number: T711F49000) and Studio 5000 Logix Designer (Version 33.00.00 Full Edition). However, I'm still facing this parameter error during the configuration process.   I've also attempted to access the web service provided by the flow meter module to view its configuration and parameter settings, but I haven't been able to identify the specific cause of the error.   I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions from the forum members who might have encountered a similar issue or have expertise with the Proline Promag W 400 flow meter module and Logix Designer. Specifically, I'm interested in any troubleshooting steps or guidance that could help resolve the parameter error and successfully configure the module.   https://files.fm/u/brm2ebkry

We have a contract to refurbish/upgrade a filling/bottling machine. We have the machine but not its control panel or PLC. We've built a new control panel based on the original drawings. We've changed the obsolete 1756-MVI/A serial comms modules to ProSoft MVI56E-MCM modules. These two comms modules are to talk to sixteen (16) Endress & Hauser Promass 63MT08-WOW00A9092B mass flow meters - each module talks to 8 of the 16 meters on separate RS-485 networks. My problem at the moment is that there seems to be no way of knowing the port configuration parameters (i.e. baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity etc.) without having the original 1756-MVI modules. I should add that these meters are 'blind' with no built-in keypad or display for programming or querying the program. I've approached E&H in the hope that they would have a method of extracting the configuration from the meters but they are saying that the meters are so old that all their expertise and equipment for performing such a task is no longer around. I'm going to attempt to track down the original equipment manufacturer in the hope that they may have kept records. Other than connecting up to a meter and trying multiple combinations of settings in the hope that we hit on the right one, does anyone have any ideas on how we can make progress with this? Also, the meters use what appears to be E&H's proprietory Rackbus protocol. The original 1756-MVI modules could talk to them (presumably!). Any ideas if the new ProSoft modules will be able to?
