Paolo_911 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) I can't get a GOT2000 to communicate to a Q06UDEHCPU through a QJ71E71-100 ethernet module. This module is Module 2. Attached are the settings in the PLC and GOT: Am I missing something? Is this correct? PLC settings: GOT settings: Edited June 26, 2017 by Paolo_911
Paolo_911 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Posted June 26, 2017 Also, can you pass M bits from GOT to PLC? I wanted to turn on M800 from this GOT. This is what I'm using to test communications, which may be my problem also. I just wanted to see a bit turn on (from a GOT button) in the PLC to ensure communications.
JRoss Posted June 26, 2017 Report Posted June 26, 2017 The GOT and PLC can't have the same station number. Change one of them to something else. Yes, you can control/monitor M-bits from the GOT.
Paolo_911 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Posted June 26, 2017 I thought they had to have the same station number so the GOT knew which station it was trying to communicate to. Thanks! I will try this solution in a few minutes. I also realize that the GOT settings picture I posted had the Unit type to QnUD(P) instead of QJ71E71, but I was just messing around at that point trying anything to get it to work.
Paolo_911 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Posted June 26, 2017 Unfortunately, this did not solve my issue. On the QJ71E71-100 module status lights the Open light is not on (nor flashing). So clearly the Ethernet port is not open for communication? I am still completely stumped.
Paolo_911 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Posted June 26, 2017 Why can't I ping the QJ71E71 module with my laptop directly plugged into it? Should this not be an issue? I am pinging 192.168.1.88, which the I.P. address I assigned the QJ71E71 module.
Paolo_911 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Posted June 26, 2017 SOLUTION: Wow, after much head banging I figured it out to be a port conflict. I had to change the GOT communication port number to a different number (5002) than the station/module it was trying to connect to (5001).
