Posted 4 Sep 2018 Wel, you should really take this up with your HMI supplier or in this case a Weintek forum. The HMI supplier should supply the documentation for which driver he is using etc. Further more how are you connected via the CPU or a board ? 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2018 i am connected to the cpu via rs232 (db9 connector) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2018 What have you set for your serial communication board ? Maybe you can post a screencapture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2018 here is my hmi configuration for plc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2018 ok but you bare using an FX2N-232-BD right. You have to set the setting for this. Check your PLC parameters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2018 You said you were using RS232 9 pins ???? If you have it connected to the FX CPU port that is RS422. So than your cable needs to convert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2018 i am not getting it.. kindly tell me in detail for life saving... :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2018 my laptop has com port 1... my cable is 9pin to plc connector .. when i connect easybuilder to hmi .. it connects and download the program.. same as when i connect plc to gx developer it connects and download the program.. also online simulation in easybuilder it shows plc data.. but when i connect hmi and plc to each other without plc.. then it shows no plc response.

Posted 4 Sep 2018 one more thing i have noticed that on HMI serial port db9 connector it has written over it( com 1 rs232 , com2 rs485) while on plc port it has writter rs422... what is this means Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2018 (edited) Then you are probably using an Sc09 (red) cable between GX Dev (PC) and FX. This cable converts from RS232 to RS422. So if you are connected to the CPU port the settngs are correct 7 even 1 9600. Has the RS232 port of the Weintek the same pin layout as a Standard serial port of a PC ? I see that a Weintek Com 1 support 232 and 422. Has the right one been selected ? If not try com 2 as that one only support RS232. (your cable already converts) Edited 4 Sep 2018 by Gambit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2018 I don't mean that. I meant from the weintek. Is that set to 232 or 422. and what does each pin do ? SD RD SG etc 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 1 Oct 2018 THE problem was that i am communicating my hmi with plc but communication is not happening. but communication is done when i connect gx developer with the hmi easybuilder software. solution was that in easybuilder select the same com port as in gx developer you have selected along with same baud rate. also hmi port 1 was for rs232 . so i did the settings and problem was solved.
