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

There are several FDSI drivers documents in the DI700xx series (which I
just discovered) that document the application of each driver. For
instance, DI700BD is the FDSI driver for DH+ protocol, DI700BF is for AB
client protocol, DI700BJ is for AB TCP/IP.

If I'm reading DI700BD correctly, it looks like you need an ECB201 for
the CAM and an ECB201 for each PLC attached to it. The DCI blocks refer
to the ECB for the PLC.

The lack of a specific FDSI document for serial-to-Allen-Bradley (aka =

"DF1" in A-B parlance) makes me wonder if this configuration (i.e., what

you are trying to do) is even supported at version 8.2.  They have FDSI =

documents for serial and TCP Modbus, Ethernet/IP (A-B ControlLogix), and

OPC Client -- but not for DF1.  Might your FBM231 be trying to speak =

Modbus?  If so, and if you don't have something like a Prosoft card in
the =

5/40, it won't work.

Dear All,
There is only one AB PLC 05/40 which is connected through CAM to IA
Series
V8.2 my means of FBM231 (RS232) now the communication link is
established
and also we get the proper point numbers from the project documentation
of
PLC, but when we put that point number to BIN or RIN block there is
cyclic
error that communication fail and that cycle depends on the period of
that
BIN or RIN block. So, result is that communication is still not happen
b/w
PLC and I/A.

Our Settings are as,

.XML File
Mode:      RS232
Baud Rate:   9600
Parity:    None
Stop Bits:  1
DataBits:   8
Driver:  DHPlus/CRC

and DIP Switch settings at CAM is Sequence as per FDSI Driver AB
DH+ Protocol User's Guide (DI700BD Rev C Page 22)

01  01111  00  000  010  11  0111  10
and we configure the ECB202 for FBM231 and ECB201 for Port.

ECB202:
Name: PLC00A
DEV_ID:  PLC00A
HWTYPE:  231
SWTYPE:   231
PORTEX:   1
FILEID:   DH_PORT.XML
SFILEID:   ABDRIVER.ZIPH

ECB201
NAME:   PLC001
DEV_ID:   PLC001
HWTYPE:  231
SWTYPE:   231
PARENT:  PLC00A
DVNAME:  MA=3D2;BA=3D2
DVOPTS:  CAM
PORTNO:   1

AND in DCI blocks we configure the IOM_ID:  PLC001.

we also configure the DIP switches at TCA of FBM231 as
A2,A4,A6,A8,B4,B8,C1 ARE closed and reamining are open.
we also tried other DIP switch settings too.
Does any one know where is error in the configuration

Thanks and Best Regards,
Imran Butt,
System Engineer.
