Incorrect communication settings in the software – The default settings for the Series 90 CPU programming port is 19200 BAUD, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and odd parity.
How do I identify the cause?īad port on the PC – Try using the PC’s serial port to communicate to another device in order to confirm proper operationīad cable – Try connecting to another Series 90 PLC in order to confirm the condition of the cable. Only do this when passwords are not a concern. Once the memory is erased, a configuration with passwords enabled can be downloaded to the CPU.Īn alternative solution would be to change the configuration being downloaded to a “Passwords Disabled” setting and then download the configuration to the CPU. In certain cases with the Series 90-30 CPUs, you may have to clear the memory by shorting out a super-capacitor on the CPU module by removing the CPU from the baseplate and shorting across two solder pads labeled “MEM CLR” for about 10 seconds. This can be done by powering down the CPU, disconnecting the battery, and powering up the CPU with the battery still disconnected. This error occurs when the user tries to download a configuration where the CPU is configured for “Passwords Enabled” and the CPU being downloaded to is set for “Passwords Disabled.” Once passwords are disabled in a Series 90 CPU, the only way to download a configuration where the CPU is configured for “Passwords Enabled” is to completely erase the memory in the target CPU. When I try to download the configuration to my Series 90 CPU, the download fails because passwords are disabled. To learn about these programming options, click here. This is the only software that will support new Series 90-30 and VersaMax CPUs and modules as they come out.
Enhancements to this software are on-going.
It supports all of the same PLCs that VersaPro Standard can plus a number of newer Series 90-30 and VersaMax PLC that VersaPro Standard does not. This is the current software package for Series 90-30 PLCs. Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer PLC Standard Edition – This is a Windows-based package and can run in Windows 2000, XP and Vista environments. In addition to the Series 90-30, VersaPro Standard can also program Series 90 Micros and certain VersaMax Micro and modular PLCs.
It is not supported by GE Fanuc in the Windows Vista environment. VersaPro Standard Edition – This is a Windows-based package and can run in Windows 95, 98, 2000 and XP environments. This is a mature product, meaning no further enhancements are planned.
It is not supported by GE Fanuc in Windows XP and Vista environments. It is DOS-based and can run in Windows 95, environments. Logicmaster 90-30 – This is the original software for the Series 90-30. There are 3 software packages available for this purpose.
