Dear All, The communication issue is resolved by changing the DIP switch settings of CAM and by putting the correct CAM address in ECB 201. But the point numbers are we cant translate to the format of BIN or RIN blocks we don't understand the format Like B3:4/6 the file B3 what and where is this file and how to translate the 4.8:0 to above format. you can see the details in at the end of this e-mail. Previously AIN, AOUT, CIN and COUT blocks are in the database of DI15 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. If and one experience the same issue kindly guide me On 9/13/07, Kevin Fitzgerrell <fitzgerrell@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Imran, > > You need to know which CAM you have.

The CP30FT is upgraded to FCP270FT and 100 series FBM and FBC are remain same. The 3 no. DI15 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 (DI15 configuration selection switch) to the FBM231 TA, the switch settings are as, DI15>>> 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 DI15 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.
