Are you familiar with connecting to a PLC GE Fanuc Versamax CPUE05 using RS485? The documentation includes a schematic for this process. Can anyone provide guidance on how to establish this connection successfully?
To connect to a PC serial port while using Proficy Machine Edition software, you will require an RS232/RS485 converter at the PLC side of the cable and potentially a USB/serial converter on the PC side. This configuration is commonly searched for by those in need of PLC communication solutions with serial ports.
To establish a connection with a PC serial port using Proficy Machine Edition software, you will require an RS232/RS485 converter at the PLC end of the cable and a USB/serial converter at the PC end. The PLC has two ports available – RS232 and RS485. To connect via RS485 on the second port, use an RS485 to USB converter with outputs A and B. If unsure of how to make the connection to the PLC via RS485, refer to the instructions provided with the converter.
To set up the communication between the PLC and a USB/RS485 converter, make sure to connect jumper RDA to TDA and jumper RDB to TDB. Additionally, connect the A pin to RDA, the B pin to RDB, and if available, the GND pin to pin 7 on the PLC side. This will ensure proper connection and communication between the devices.

Absolutely, I've dealt with the GE Fanuc Versamax on quite a few occasions. First, you'd want to ensure that you've got the correct RS485 converter – I recommend the IC690USB901 cable specifically for Versamax units. According to the manuals, you should configure your RS485 port (typically port 1) with the relevant parameters such as baud rate, stop bits, and even parity checks. Also, don't forget to use Proficy Machine Edition (PME) software, as it simplifies the process of programming and troubleshooting GE PLCs. Remember, the right hardware, software, and settings usually make this process seamless.
