EA3-S3ML-RN serial HID to Ethernet Standard Click not working

I am having issues with the PLC connecting to the EA3. Does anyone have any advise or guides to refer me to? I found some videos that Garry put out but they are for the HID Ethernet models.

    Hi theultimateandy,

    Are you connecting the EA3-S3ML-RN with the D0-CBL cable to port 2 (RS232) of the Click Standard Ethernet Unit?

    Here is the pinout of the cable.

    https://support.automationdirect.com/docs/d0-cbl_datasheet.pdf

    In the C-More Micro software:

    EA3-S3ML-RN to Click Serial 1Ensure that you are selecting the AutomationDirect Click Serial PLC Protocol.

    Select protocol setup.

    EA3-S3ML-RN to Click Serial 2These are the default setting and must match the settings on port 2 of the Click (RS232)

    Another way of viewing these parameters is to use the main menu | Setup | Panel Manager...

     

    In the Click PLC software select main menu | Setup | Com Port Setup...

    Select Port 2 Setup

    EA3-S3ML-RN to Click Serial 3Ensure these settings match the HMI.

    I hope this helps you out.

    Regards,

    Garry

    HI Garry, thanks for getting back to me. I am using the DV1000CBL for communications from the PLC to the panel. The com port setup on the PLC and on the Cmore Panel mirrored happended to mirror yours exactly.

     

    I did notice on the screen it was saying "P009:Re INV.FUN.Code" I thought it was originally some weird bit code until I googled it, then realizing it was an error code. I am also getting a "P007: CRC Not Match"

     

    After looking at the forum with someone having a similar problem, it looks like a noise issue. I am currently using a generic 24V switching power supply. I will order a Click power supply to see if that is the problem, unless there are any other recommendations that you or anyone else can suggest. I am hoping that it will also resolve the P007 issue as well.

     

    Thanks,

    Andy

      Hi Andy,

      +1 noise sounds like the issue.

      Since you are currently trying to communicate at 38200 baud, I would try reducing this to 9600 baud on both ends. This will be less acceptable to noise on the line.

      Just a thought.

      Regards,

      Garry
