FX2N and E1101 HMI

[donny]

Hi All First of all, I am new member of Mr.PLC & the site it is great. I am having some problems connecting FX2N to E1101 HMI to Download/upload the program via COM-1 port on pc with win xp to HMI COM-2 port.using CAB5 cable. I think I have config. both ports correctly but it will not connect(transmission error). I can download the progarm via usb stick & prog work ok with touch switches on com-1 to plc rs 422 via CAB-19 cable but I can not upload the program via CAB5 on com-2 to pc com-1 so I can save the program for future etc. I wonder whether there is a problem with com-2 port on hmi as I've tried every possible config. combinations. PC com-1 port works ok as I can connect it to plc rs232 board. I am new to HMI s but have experience on mit.plc s. I use E-designer V7.52 & GX Developer FX 8.45 S/W. I would be very grateful if some one could post an answer to sort this out. Many thanks in advance. regards donny Edited December 8, 2010 by donny

CAB5 is NOT the programming cable for E1000 terminals. CAB30 is. Basic difference is the send/receive lines. You can fix CAB5 with a null modem adapter. Beijers changed the circuit board (PC) used inside, and the new one had pins 2 and 3 in opposite order.

Hi Crossbow Many thanks for the quick response. Spent hours to get the file trnsfer done & the failure was due to the wrong cable as you mentioned in your post. Will get null modem adapter tomorrow and try again. I've received the hmi & the E-Designer s/w with CAB5 cables & after all I can not use it without extra h/w. Once again many thanks & well done. donny Edited December 9, 2010 by donny
