ex ax2 expansion

[pgold50]

hi all,

i am having problems communicating a v1210 to the new expansion adapter ex ax2. is there a hardware problem with these two? anyone experienced the same problem?

thanks

I have no reason to suspect a systemic problem between the V1210 and EX-A2X.

As always, check you have the most recent Visilogic and V1210 has the latest OS.

Also, to get the EX-A2X to play ball, you need to have at least one I/O module connected, and have added that module to you PLC program, and have downloaded it to the PLC.

The EX-A2X will not work on its own.

I hope this isn't just stating the obvious. Post back with more detail if these pointers don't solve the problem

Another thing to check is that the communication cable between the PLC and the EX-A2X is around the right way. One end of the cable should be marked "To PLC" and the other "To Adapter". Connect accordingly.
