IDEC PLC LADDER LOGIC MONITORING VIA A MODEM

Back To Tech Support

The following files can be downloaded to explain how to configure the modems and the batch files to configure them. These files will allow the modem to connect from a host personal computer to a remote Idec PLC at 9600 baud. It is important to remember to configure your WINDLDR communication settings to match the modem settings at 9600 baud, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit and No Parity. It is highly recommended to use the host external modem and not the one provided with your computer since the modem requires a special configuration and your computer's modem may not be easily returned to it's original condition after configuring it to communicate with the PLCs.
