Communication between two Cinterion BGS2T

[Milosh]

How to make communication between two Cinterion modems. On one side I have Jazz JZ20-T18 with Cinterion modem. Another side should be Scada with Cinterion modem.

On PLC I make MODBUS slave communication, and direct connection between PLC and SCADA (RS232) works.

I tried than to make connection between PLC-Scada via cinterions.

1. Initilaise PLC side modem and connect to Jazz.

2. Initilaise PCside modem and connect to scada.

Communication not work.

Does I need some steps to do?

Which can be the problem?

Maybe I should initialise PLCside modem and connect to scada?

Can I use MJ20-PRG with it's cable and modem plug MJ10-22-CS76?

I tried simple SMS messaging, and always got SI180=3, Got unknown message...

Yes, you can.

But you have to use 6 wires cable.

PRG module is isolated and required power supply.

With MJ10-22-CS76 wires 1 and 6 supply power to PRG module.

OK, I use 6 wires cable MJ20-CB200, MJ20-PRG connector on PLC side, and MJ10-22-CS10 on modem side, but I always get SI180=3.

I use Simple SMS example from U90 ladder set change PLC to Jazz JZ20-T18, and modify phone number in phone book.

I tried with regular RS232 cable and PC I can send and receive message.

I'm not sure why modem reply with Got unknown message...

MJ10-22-CS10  is not for modem side, it is for PC side to supply power to PRG module.

Use MJ10-22-CS76 for modem side.

Yes, you are right, my fault when writing post...The real situation is with MJ10-22-CS76.

Sorry my fault. 

I use that cable but got message mentioned above.

I'm not sure what is the problem. I Init modem from modem services. SIM card is valid and can send SMS.

Also I'm not sure, how Cinterion modem can supply power via 1 and 6 pins?!

When you look on DB9 pinout for modem and pinout for PLC add-on port module PRG there are some differences. Also I look at the RS add-on module, also have differences with modem pinout.

Maybe MJ10 connectors have some chip to do exchange or whatever???

 

My scenario is:

MODEM & PLUG

Cinterion BGS2T  --- MJ10-22-CS76

CABLE

MJ20-CB200 6 wires

PLC & PLUG

Jazz JZ20-T18 --- MJ20-PRG (add on module)

Here you can find all details, include pinout.

MJ10-22-CS76 internal wiring provide power to PRG module as well.

*PRG module power consumption is low and used only to power RS232 communication.

*When use CS10 adapter, you have to use RS232 port with full set of signals.

Unitronics supply Prolific based USB-to-Serial converter supporting all signals.

Other converters may have only RX, TX and Ground wires. And may not supply power to PRG module.
