Re: [foxboro] Communication problem b/w FBM231 & AB PLC

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.
