I have connected 10 GS2 drives to my 450 plc using and Fa-isocon and rs 485 switch sold by both auto direct... using the program example out of the GS2 drive book I have been able to turn drives on and off and change frequencies but sometimes it just fails to work, sometimes vfd 2 wont turn on unless vfd 1 is on and all sorts of weird problems like that... can someone see something in my logic that im doing wrong? or has someone written something better for a similar application?
