I am trying to figure out the addressing scheme between GE/Fanuc Series 6 PLC+ so that I can get Honeywell Experion to access the data. Does anyone have any experience with doing this?
Hi Russel, Had you able to figure out the communication way between Series 6 PLC and Honeywell Experion DCS ?I am trying to figure out the addressing scheme between GE/Fanuc Series 6 PLC+ so that I can get Honeywell Experion to access the data. Does anyone have any experience with doing this?
Hi Steve,What protocol does the Honeywell unit support? The Series Six can use either CCM or RTU.
Presumably there is a Communications Control Module in the fifthe slot to the right of the power supply in the CPU rack. The port parameters are set by dipswitches on the module.
Inputs and outputs are numbered from 1 to 1024. Data registers are numbered from 1 to the maximum. The maximum is determined by the Logic Memory module.
Contact me at [email protected] if you need more information.
Hi Russel,We are connecting to the top port on a CCM card in the 7th slot in the secondary rack of our PLC. The dip switches are set to speak on RS232 at 19600 bps. Using pins 2, 3 and 7 in our cable (and reversing 2 and 3 on the Experion end), we are plugging into a Honeywell Serial Interface Module. The signal is converted through this SIM module into an RJ45 which plugs directly into the Experion system communications module in the I/O rack.
From what I have gathered from GE/Fanuc that we are using RTU. From my understanding, RTU is a form of modbus. Is this correct?
In any event. With nothing plugged into the CCM card, all of the lights are on solid except 1. I think this one is the comm light and it is flashing. On all our other CCM cards (we have 3 in the primary rack talking to Metra 1010bt operator interfaces) the receive and transmit light go out as soon as you unplug the cable that goes to the Metras... It seems to me that the Experion CCM card is functioning properly.
Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated.
