fredpenr Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Hi, I'm having a problem trying to get PME to connect to my 90-30 through the serial port connector on the Series 90-30 power. I have built a custom 15-pin to 9-pin cable from GFK-0356. I am able to program the plc fine with LM90 through the power supply port, but unable to connect to it with PME. I can connect to the PLC with PME through a cmm321 ethernet, but not all my PLC's have a CMM321. Am I missing something? Thanks! Quote
RussB Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 I would like to see your cable. This one will work. Use LM90 and verify that all parameters are correct. Quote
fredpenr Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Posted November 3, 2006 I took my cable apart and confirmed it is exactly as you have drawn. I have attached my serial port config from LM90 which works, and the PME config which does not work. Can you check it against your set up and see if there is anything wrong? Thanks! Quote
Steve Bailey Posted November 3, 2006 Report Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Are you using the same computer for both Logicmaster and PME? If so, you need to completely shut down Logicmaster before trying to conect with PME. Simply going offline is not enough. If PME is running on a different computer, are you sure that the COM port is free? Other applications may be running in the background that don't relinquish the port even though they aren't actually using it. Edited November 3, 2006 by Steve Bailey Quote
fredpenr Posted November 4, 2006 Author Report Posted November 4, 2006 It is the same computer that I was running LM90 from. I have completely shut down LM90 before starting PME. I have tried a fresh reboot and then start PME with no success. I am getting no error. It just says "Connecting.." and that's all it says. I'm confused. I have even tried it on different PLC's. I guess I'm going to have to install PME on a different computer and see if that's Thanks for the help...... Quote
RussB Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 One or two of the older versions had an issue where under certain conditions drivers were not properly installed. To correct this we needed to: 1.Un-install PME 2.Delete the directory where it was installed 3.Remove the HKLM/Software/Taylor registry key, (this does not affect your license) 4.Re-install PME Quote
