Dear All,
Our customer is upgrading the I/A version form V4.3 Unix to V8.2 on XP and
previous system has CP30FT communicating with 100 series FBMs and FBCs and
quantity 3 MG30 gateways communicating with Allen Bradley PLC through CAM or
Modem which is provided by Allen Bradley.
The CP30FT is upgraded to FCP270FT and 100 series FBM and FBC are remain
same.
The 3 no. MG30 are replaced by and other FCP270FT with FBM231 (FT).
I am at the commissioning/installation of the system and facing following
problems,
1. FBM231 is not communicating with AB PLC through CAM or Modem as we
translate the same DIP switch setting which is on the P0970VN (MG30
configuration selection switch) to the FBM231 TA, the switch settings are
as,
MG30>>> SW1-1,2,3,4,7,8 & SW2-1,3,4,6,8 are closed and
remaining are open
we translate them form documents B0193RL-Rev H page 49-50 and form
B0700AH Rev E page 62-63 and translated switch setting are as,
FBM231 TA>>> A-2,4,6,8 & B-4,8 & C-1 are close and
remaining are open.
But it is not communicating with PLC.
2. The cable part number which is connecting PLC to Gateway is
P0970WY-C and we are using the same cable.
3. Previously AIN, AOUT, CIN and COUT blocks are in the database of
MG30 which communicate with PLC, and now these blocks we can't use with
FBM231 to communicate with PLC so, we create RIN, ROUT, BIN and BOUT blocks
and connect the out put of these blocks to the input of AIN and CIN and
output of COUT and AOUT to input of BOUT and ROUT.
Now problem is that the previous addressing of PNT parameter of CIN is
and COUT are like 4.12:0 and 16.15:0 and for AIN and AOUT have like
126:0 at their PNT parameter. Kindly guide me how to translate the above
format to PNT parameter to the format of BIN,BOUT, RIN and ROUT.
We copy the same PNT no. to the PNT of BIN, BOUT, RIN, ROUT's PNT but
when loaded to FCP it gives error W65.
Kindly all the experts provide me solution of above issues.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Imran Butt,
System Engineer,
Manstock.
