I am using DoMore PLC with two (2) GS1 Drives via RS485. Have connected through FA-ISOCON. This is my first time to DoMore and I am looking for programming examples. Otherwise, I will try to grind through the suggestions in the GS1 manual for Modbus RTU programming. If someone has any programming they could share, I would be very grateful. I will post my final code for anyone to use. Thank you, Darrin

It's way simpler than you would think. At the most basic level, just plunk down your MRX and MWX with the right addresses and off you go. No interlocking required.
If you want to get fancy, use state programming with the stage completion logic in the instructions.

I have never used this converter before. I am using the rs-485 port on the(BRX). The code on the PLC side is straight forward you just have to set-up the drive com parameters such as baud rate protocol etc.. the following code reads the status of 2 drives.I am not controlling the drives with communication although easily doable.I am actually in the testing phase of this code and it seems to work.
