90-70 communication with Rx3i using commreq blocks

Hello,

I'm doing a project to convert all 90-70 to rx3i but, i have to enable communication(using CCM master and slave protocol) between a 90-70 and a Rx3i PLC. The commreq function blocks return a status code "5890" but i found nothing about this status code. Anyone know what is the meaning of this error code ? 

thanks,

Fred

  • Where are you initiating the COMM_REQ?

    If issuing in the Series 90-70 then GFK-0582D chapter lists CCM secondary error codes reported in the high byte of the CCM Status Word after the execution of a CCM COMMREQ. These codes also appear in the low byte of CCM Diagnostic Status Word (DSW) 1. Neither 58 nor 90 appear in this list.

    If porting the Series 90-70 application to the RX3i then the COMM_REQ probably needs modifying. GFK-2460G lists the CCM functions supported by the IC695CMM002/4 modules. Not all commands are supported.
  • I am assuming that the 90-70 side you are using IC697CMM711 as CCM protocol master, RX3i side IC695CMM002/004 as CCM slave, in the RX3i side, there is a tab "PortData_CCM_Salve1", you have to assign Ref Length for CCM slave

  • In reply to Jimmy Lee:

    Yes, to clarify, RX3i CMM module can only be a CCM slave. Conversion to another form of communciations, such as EGD over Ethernet for peer-to-peer, is recommended.
