teal854t Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 I like to know what software do I need to communucate with VersaMax MIcro PLC? Logicmaster or VersaMax Pro? Does 9 pin to 15 pin cable work on it? Thanks
tushar.matrix Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Hello teal854t, Greetings GE fanuc Nano-Micro PLC series uses Versapro / Proficy software . Proficy is latest software for the same . (Veraspro & Proficy will both communicate to Micro PLC) I am not sure for 9 Pin to 15 pin configuration. But there is serial cable [9 -pin & RJ 45 ] that i used for communication using USB to serial convertor. As our laptop was not having serial port. LM Software is dos based software it was used in erlier days in past . Thanks & regards 2shar
RussB Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 The 23 & 28 point GE Fanuc VersaMax Micro's have a 15 pin RS-485 port, the 14 point units do not. All have RJ45 (Ethernet Style) RS-232 port. The 20, 40, and 64 point have an optional 2nd port. this may be empty or have either a USB, or RJ45 port that can be either RS-232, RS-485, or Ethernet. Confusing, but versatile. The only software that works with all of them is Proficy ME (Machine Edition).
tushar.matrix Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 Hi, I remeber i was testing RS-232 to RS-485 converter ADAM make, I used PC serial port + RS485 + GE micro 28 point PLC. 9 pint 15 cable can work through any RS 232 to RS-485 converter. Thanks 2shar
teal854t Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks for the reply. I have 9 pin to 15 pin cable that I used for Logixmaster. Does it work on VersaMax (28 point Micro PLC)? The 28 point has both 15 pin and RJ45 plugs. Where can I find pin layout for 9 pin to RJ45? I like to make one. I have Versapro Ver1.1. Does it work with my VersaMax 28 point PLC? Thanks
tushar.matrix Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 Hello, teal854t Grettings, 9-15 cable that you have may or may not work, i have never used it. I read manual for GE versamax PLC. There is pin connection detail in PDF manual. In this manual Chapter communication expalins 9 pin & RJ45 cable pin outs/connection. There may be PDF in your versamax setup folder, Please go trough it. I have that manual but rigt now i am out of station from my work place. Have nice time Thanks & regards, Tushar
tushar.matrix Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 Hello Again , Please find the details that you needed. Also have a look at manual page 258 for maore details. http://gexproautomation.com/documents/Cont...al_gfk1645d.pdf I use same cable with USB to Serial converter. Have a nice time Thanks & regards 2shar
mapman88 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 I made a RS232 to RJ45 adapter to plug into my serial port on my laptop to the RJ45 plug on my 28 I/O Micro. I cannot communicate. I borrowed a RS232 to RS485 adapter and plugged into the same Micro on the RS485 plug and am able to communicate - nothing else changed. Any ideas?
Steve Bailey Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 The two ports are independent of each other, and could be set up differently.
RussB Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) There is more information on GEIP (GE Fanuc) communications cables here, GEIP Series 90 Cables Edited March 26, 2012 by RussB
mapman88 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 In Navigator, under Main Rack, I right click on my IC200UDR005, left click on configure, Port 1 and Port 2 are configured the same.
RussB Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Verify that the parameters are correct. (Same on ports at both ends of the cable.) Default for the Micro is 19,200 baud, 8 data bits, odd parity. Verify that your cable is correct. GEIP Series 90 Cables Edited March 26, 2012 by RussB
mapman88 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Thnks Russ, I took a couple screen shots. I had changed the timeout on port 1 when I had a borrowed key last week, cant change it back until I recieve my new one. It is coming fedex ground and has been sitting in Chicago since Saturday. Oh, and I did ring out the cable again. port 1.bmp port 2.bmp Edited December 21, 2011 by mapman88
RussB Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I will be amazed if the new key has any impact on this. You can connect through port2 according to a previous post. You can then Upload the hardware configuration from the CPU and make the configurations in hardware and software "Equal". Good luck and please let us know what you find.
