Communication Troubleshooting
Generally
1. Check the following:
There is power at the unit
The LCD shows the relevant data
The device can be programmed using the hand programmer
2. Check the wiring pin outs and verify that the connection is correct.
3. Verify that values in set-up parameters P770 to P773 match the settings in the computer
communicating with the unit.
4. Check that the port you are using on the computer is correct. Sometimes trying a
different Modbus driver will solve the problem. An easy stand-alone driver called
ModScan32 is available from Win-Tech at www.win-tech.com. We have found that this
driver is useful to test communications.
Specifically
1. You try to set an IQ 300 parameter via remote communications, but the parameter
remains unchanged.
Some parameters can only be changed when the device is not scanning. Try
putting the device in program mode using the operating mode function.
Try setting the parameter from the keypad. If it can not be set using the keypad,
check the lock parameter and set it to 1954.
The communications control parameter P799 must be set to 1 to be able to write
parameter to the IQ 300.
