If you load the program back from the PLC into a temp folder, the last subroutine (SUB50) comes back with no name. If you do a verify, VersaPro says everything is EQUAL. Details: When using an Ethernet connection with VersaPro 1.11, if you store a program with a _MAIN and 50 subroutines to a 90-30 Release 9.10/10.0 or VersaMax PLC Release 1.5 and earlier, the store will complete correctly without error. Folder is corrupted when doing load with 50 subroutines from 90-30 Release 9.10/10.0 VersaMax PLCs 1.5 and earlier with Ethernet connection. This adapter will work only on Windows 98/ME/2000 Operating systems.ġ.

If you have a processor with up to date firmware and use Versapro you won't get the errors and you will be able to view the fault table while monitoring the program.It is recommended to use an USB to Serial Adapter manufactured by D-Link System, Inc., California (Model number – DSS25) to connect to a PLC through the USB port. I'm guessing one those warnings you mentioned was about firmware. Did it give you any error messages when you tried to Download the VersaPro program to the PLC pertaining to the Firmware revision. You said that it was programmed with LM90, you can't monitor a program in VersaPro that was programmed and stored using LM90 unless you save it using VersaPro. I've seen this problem occur when you try to use VersaPro on a Processor that has an older version of Firmware on it than VersaPro likes. Once again, many thanks for all your efforts, they are always very much appreciated by people like myself who get themselves into these pickles. Only good if you know the saved program is up-to-date. The conflict of the code in the CPU to the version on the laptop was slightly different, so I had to overwrite the program in the CPU with the Windows version. These warnings refer to a conflict with the two versions of the software.

After performing a verification of the program, it states that there are no errors, but several warnings.

So when I tried to monitor the program, it would not let me.

The Windows Version of the software must contain several segments of program (all of which run seperatley - hence you can only have one program accessing the COM1 port at any one time) I do believe that the DOS version will allow "Multi-tasking" operations as all the program segments are combined.Īlso the CPU was originally programmed using the DOS version of the Fanuc software. Also the Fault table cannot be viewed unless you "Disconnect from PLC" then open the Fault table menu and then select PLC or I/O. The CPU will not go back into Run until the fault(s) are cleared. Other problems that I encountered which may be of interest, was that when the conflict of hardware occured within the CPU, it creates a "Fault table". That did the trick, although I did have to slow the Baud rate down to 9600 bps. The only way you can get it back into Run is via the software (**** I know), so then we had the problem of the comm's.Īfter inspecting the comm's lead that was being used, I noticed it was plugged into the laptop's parallel port (silly), So I rigged a USB to RS232 to SNP lead as there was no standard RS232 serial port on the laptop. Output card I was given to replace with was not a 16 O/P card, but an 8 O/P card, hence the CPU did not recognise the hardware. Many thanks for all the replies to this I managed to sort the problem out.
