melsec medoc error

[AmirB 1]

Hi Mr.PLC Members,

I have Mitsubishi FX16MT unit, I'm trying to transfer programs to it using melsec medoc version 1.64b but I can't 

I'm receiving error "no reply from PLC system",I'm using 25 pin to 9 pin cable and I tried also to connect it with usb to serial cable but the same error appeared 

my setup:

PLC system        FX

Bit rate                 300

word length          7

parity                    Even

stopbits                 2

"windows XP"

Attached are photo of my unit with my cables and the error of the program

A serial cable will not work you have to use a Mitsubishi SC09 cable. The PLC is not RS232 the SC09 cable converts the RS232 to RS485 or RS422 l don’t remember of hand. You can bye these from EBay but be carful of some of the sites ideally try to get a genuine cable which is an orange coloured one.

Like @Rodneysaid you'll need the SC09. You can also get these USB versions from https://www.diatrend.com/ which work pretty good.

Also you can windows applications GX Developer or GX Works 2 instead od Melsec medoc DOS.

Thank you Mr Rodney, my plc output is 25pin port and I have an old PC has 9pin female and other 9pin male ports  so I bought a 25 to 9 pin female cable I used it to communicate the plc but I get the same error 

Attached photo of plc port & the cable I'm using.

Sorry If I didn't understand you well

Hi AmirB

As l said in my post the cable you have will not work. You require a cable from Mitsubishi SC09 this cable has electronics in it that.   converts the RS232 signal coming from your computer. To RS485/RS422 that your PLC uses when reading and writing to your         computer. As gambit said in his post if you have USB available on your computer you can buy a USB version that would work. But the simple way wold be to get the SC09 cable.

good luck

This seems to be a difficult topic to explain. I just happened to have this from another post.
