Watlow EZ-Zone PM ENET RS-485

I can't talk to controllers Watlow EZ - Zone PM with labview.

I can't get the RS-485 ENET to appear in MAX I discovered it's because 64-bit windows? However I can talk to the RS-485 ENET using VISA resource name: ASRL::xxx.xxx .xxx. xx::1:INSTR where xxx.xxx.xxx.xx is the IP address of the RS-485 ENET.

I also tried to use the Watlow driver but if I put the name of resource above in to the Port of Comms PC in the example provided with the driver and try to initialize the port, I get the following error:

Error 1 has occurred at an unidentified place

Possible reasons:

LabVIEW: an input parameter is not valid. For example if the input is a path, the path can contain a character not allowed by the operating system such as? or @.
=========================
NOR-488: command requires GPIB controller charge controller.

I guess that's because the ASRL::xxx.xxx .xxx. xx::1:INSTR is not a valid entry for the Watlow driver.

Please let me know if you have solutions. Thank you!

System:

Windows 7 64 bit

LabVIEW 2011 32-bit

Max 5.5.0f0

  • How to Set Digital i/o status of Watlow EZ - Zone RM on 'ON' in LabVIEW?

    I have an EZ - box RM Watlow controller and here is the driver:

    http://www.Watlow.com/downloads/en/software/Watlow%20EZ-zone (R)%20LabView%20Driver%20a.zip

    I have 16 e / s digital connected to the CRDD and I need to use to trigger the SSR.

    so here's my question

    How to Set Digital i/o status of Watlow EZ - Zone RM on 'ON' in LabVIEW?

    What ID setting should I use to replace the OFF state (62) (63)?

    First I thought that I can write "63" in the ID parameter "6007", and it does not work because it is a read only parameter. Is it supposed to be a way I can just simple it switched off to change on?

    Thank you for answering my question.

    The OID cannot be set directly. First a block Variable must be digital and connected to the block of DIO mode. Then changing the numeric status can be changed (63) to off (62).

  • Watlow ez-zone-RM

    I'm a newbie to this and need help! I have an ez-zone-rm (in fact many of them) attached to the heater ribbon, and I need to control all at the same time. I have a sample program for them, but it only controls a zone and one instance at a time. Is there a way to schedule some kind of loop to change the settings in addition to an instance and area all at once?

    Thank you!

    Yes.

    Was she?

    Essentially, you need to change the controls on the front at the berries so that you can set the settings based on box/instance. I suggest to use a table that has 3 columns: area, instance, parameter. If set to 'write' is supposed to be different then you can do a 4th column. As is 'Write', you can autoindex the table to take off at each row and then get the individual values. Same thing for reading.

    To learn more about LabVIEW, it is recommended that you go through the tutorials and look over the material in tutorials the NI Developer Zone Learning Center , which provides links to other materials and other. You can also take a course online for free.

  • Including a carriage return when you write in a single register using Modbus

    I use a NI USB to RS - 232 to connect with a Watlow EZ-Zone PM controller using Modbus Protocol and will have bad to write a value (set temperature) to the controller.  I got when reading registry values, so I know that my settings are correct.  I also checked this using a program of Test of Modbus Watlow provides.  Using this program, it became clear to me that a carriage return is necessary after the numeric value.  MB series query writing Master only allows a value of U16.  How can I include a carriage return?

    A statement like that makes me think that she's not speaking modbus.

    Run their program during execution of something like Portmon.

    Then compare the data sent back with the modbus specification.

  • with boredom Watlow PM 485 modbus communication

    I have a PM Watlow I see now at MAX and using EZ area code can get info manufacture of.  I also uses the Modbus in the add-on on Saphire series tool to try to write or read anything from him (for the first time) and I always get an error of 'time' out of the slave.  I tried to make a simple reading of VISA I found on some positions, and I get the same timeout error.  It seems that if I try something Labview I get this error.  I even tried writing Hex to the thing with the same results.  Can anyone throw me a BONE?

    There are a couple of free libraries.

  • 485 error CRC/KEY (GModbus)

    I get an error CRC/LRC of a system half duplex 485 connected to a Watlow controller.  I have the device set up in MAX for auto 4-wire and I have this code running on other identicle with number systems.  Does anyone have an idea on what would cause such a mistake?

    In most cases, I know that a 485 connection is a connection of 2-wire. You may need to assign MAX auto 2 son.

  • Watlow series VI EZ box causes GUI Lag?

    I am having a frustrating with my screws problem I think I have narrowed down to a driver of the Sub - VI. "Read" sub-VI/dll for Zone EZ Watlow controllers seems to provoke my GUI LabVIEW to slow down and trolling. For example, if this Subvi runs and I'm going to go one of the main LabVIEW drop-down menus (file, publishing, display, etc.), they accuse to pull down and switch between them. The LAG covers other GUI operations (clicks, seizure of text, etc.). Any ideas? I've attached screenshots of two screws. I also use an FTDI USB-rs485 with VCP drivers adapter. I tried affecting the performance of the two screws instrument I/O but doesn't seem to help.

    Thank you

    Thank you, Ryan.

    Much better now.

  • Faced with setting up a connection RS-485 for a for OR cDAQ mass flow controller

    I'm an absolute beginner from the ground up tries to connect the port RS-485 to a mass flow controller (MFC) Instruments Sierra for the NOR cDAQ.

    The planned route of the person in front of me set up for the connection is:

    (1) cable MFC COM1 to Interface Ethernet 4 ports for RS485/RS422 (DB-9 to DB - 9)

    (2) Ethernet 4-port Ethernet Interface RS485/RS422 OR cDAQ cable

    I'm fighting to understand exactly how the pins should be doubled for the 1st part of the interface. For MFC COM1 pinout is given below:

    The pinout for DB-9 male, shown in the quick reference Guide series of NI is illustrated below:

    I do not know what pins on the side MFC should connect to which pins on the side of the ENET-485. The manifesto is ground (PIN 7 to pin 1). In addition, I'm stumped. Try to read references online has just served to confuse me even more at this point...

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Follow-up: I bought a B and B Electronics ULinx USB converter to RS - 485 9 pin as well as a cable of Sierra Instruments. I was able to confirm communications between the cDAQ and the MFC using own Sierra HMI as well as through NOR-MAX provided.

  • Connection and configuration USB-485/2 2 son loopback

    I use the NI USB-485/2 with CVI box and managed to configure the ports of two 485 in mode 4 son, connects the ports for the Loopback tests and tested by sending data a port and reception of the same data in the second.  Now I want to change the configuration 2-wire because I need to interface with equipment using 2 son so I could read on all the documents that I can find and still have confusion on the port configuration of 2-wire control and transceiver loopback connections.  I see three options of port configuration of 2-wire) 1 DTR controlled with echo, 2) DTR controlled without echo, TXRDY 3) controlled car.  I see the 'RS-485 Transceiver Control' table in the manual and quick reference but don't understand what he's trying to tell me at all.  I studied it for a long time.  There is no explanation of these three options.  So my question is what are the differences in these three and for each of these options how the port must be configured (any active Protocol communication?) and how would wire the 2 ports together to run a loopback test?

    I have port configurations installation via attributes VISA for Auto 2 son with baud, num bits, stop bit, etc., and seems back successful responses.  (I used VISA only because I have not found the ComSetEscape call until I finished the above).  I connected bore - portB TX - TX and portA TX + portB TX + for the loopback test and couldn't get it to work in the short time that I tested.  It seems that the data passes but never gets received.  I use the VISA entry and read functions.

    Tom, this paper addresses a bit more on the different modes: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/E905D94CF3C0601D862565EF004D5D7F . In addition, we have several examples and walk through on the way to a 2-wire loopback test using 485. Have you tried to use one of these examples?

  • How to use the shared variables to address several Watlow controllers on the same COM port

    Hello

    I am using LabVIEW 2010 to control 4 Watlow temperature controllers on a port com 3 are model 96 and 1 is a zone EZ controller. The controller has a unique modbus address and I'm trying to read from and write in the individual records (for example, setpoint closed-loop) variable shared help. I would return the data during playback (even if the data is displayed as invalid), but I am unable to change the value in the registry in writing. How can I be sure that's the Modbus server send commands to the correct controller?

    Chuck

    Hi Chuck,

    Sorry for the delay in response, I was away last week. You can create as many servers for Modbus on one COM port that you would like, the only problem you'd see is if you tried to call the port from different locations at the same time. With respect to the documentation to cross, I'd start with the tutorial below for a comprehensive manual of Modbus. There are also quite a few listed under Datalogging and supervisory control Module help topics that may be useful if you want to solve specific issues.

    Introduction to MODBUS

    Kind regards

  • Parental control for iphone zone

    I have parental controls on my iphones of teenagers. I can also set the AT & T data time limits. Adolescents simply change the time zone of the iphone so they can walk using data when they aren't supposed to.

    How can I prevent adolescents to change the time zone on their phones?

    Soccer Mom

    You can not. The time zone on the phone setting should not have anything to do with AT & T cellular data limits. Those based on time on the cell towers. Contact AT & T

    Or just take the phone away from them if they can't be trusted to follow the rules.
