Thank you very much. I've never used a GE or Emerson plc and this helped me verify it was my cable that was causing the issue. I had to remake my cable and it worked perfectly.
@@connectingtogeplcsandpacs504I am indeed a student but this issue is work related. We have a waterjet machine with random errors on the intensifier unit. The machine is over 20 years old and is our only machine with a VersaMax controller. Seeing the logic can sometimes help the troubleshoot and explain output signals. However, it is not feasible to purchase a PAC software license for multiple thousands of dollars to look at the logic once every 4 years or so. Occasionally, PLC manufacturers provide a DEMO version or READ ONLY license for a software (e.g. A&B Studio5000 Service License). I am curious if there is a different software that can communicate with the VersaMax controller and that would be cheaper.

You are more than welcome.
Hello Sir! I want to ask about USB to RS232 adaptor that you used. Can you share the link , for I can buy it.(and I send you an e-mail also) thanks.
Is there a free or DEMO version software that can connect to the GE Fanuc VersaMax MicroController?
Hello Tim, are you a student or working in this field?

Tim, there is a way to download a 90-day fully functional PAC Machine edition Lite to connect to the VersaMax Micro line of controllers. Let me know.
It would be best to have an IC693CBL500 cable to connect through port 1.
Hello. Could you gives us tutorial for reading modbus via port 1 RS232 ?
Modbus RTU RS232 right?
@@connectingtogeplcsandpacs504 yes, correct. I am having difficulty about that. I am working on Versamax Micro IC200UDR164
