I have a CLX PLC and using the serial port to operate message displays. This system has ran for about 8 years with no problems other than replacing a display. Recently something happened and none of the displays work. I connect a display to the PLC directly and the display works correctly. I connect my computer to the PLC serial port and I can read and write to and from the port. When I connect the RS422 convertors it all stops, I have replaced all the convertors, still does not work. The power supplies seem fine at around +-12vdc. I have set up test wire wire new convertors and still will not work. I even changed to RS485 to test but still does not work.
You you have any ideas? I have been working on this for almost two weeks, getting a bit flustrated.
Thanks
