ct8356 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 I am trying to go online, in CXProgrammer, with a CP1L-M60DT1-D PLC. I am connecting with a USB cable (Standard-A on laptop side, standard-B on the PLC side). In my "Change PLC" dialog: Device type is set to CP1L, CPU type set to M. Network type is set to USB. FINS Destination Address Network set to 0, Node set to 0. I get "Failed to connect to the PLC" when trying to go online. Any ideas why? Thank you. (Note; the PLC connection is showing up in my Device Manager, and the correct driver is installed). Quote

Crossbow Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Did you try network 1 node 1? That's where most Omron PLC devices are by default. Quote
BobB Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 USB should not matter as far as network address goes. I not that you have 2 threads going - better to keep to one thread. As Sergei suggetsde have you tried direct/auto online? Quote
ct8356 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Posted March 23, 2015 I shall try direct/auto online in future. However, in the mean time, I managed to find a work around. I connected to the serial port instead (with a USB-Serial cable), changed the network type to toolbus, changed the COM port to the correct number, and now it works just fine. Quote
