Technical support / Enclosures

I am looking for separate enclosures, with standoffs, for my T100MD888+ and two I-7018s. Preferably, these would be made out of plastic, and would be relatively easy to seal. I am going to be installing them in my car, possibly under the hood...

I also need a source for the proper resistor for a 12VDC installation of the LCD-420 display unit.

Okay, so what I need to do, if I'm communicating with the PLC via RS232, and from the PLC to the i-7018 via RS485, is download a program to the PLC which communicates with the i-7018--and then execute that program.

I will eventually be connecting two i-7018 devices to the PLC, can I change the default ID for the second i-7018 via a program sent to the PLC, or do I need to directly communicate with the i-7018 via an RS485 connection to the PC?

Okay, that worked to get access to the port, but there still seems to be no communication with the i-7018. Do I need to reset the baud rate for the T100MD and PC to 9600? Does the i-7018 require a terminating resistor, or is it internally terminated?

I am trying to communicate with the i-7018 via the PLCs RS485 connection, by using an RS232 connection from the PC to the PLC.

I am having difficulty establishing communications with my i-7018. I have a USB to RS-232 adapter, designated com port 6. I have established communication with the T100MD-888+, but keep getting an "Open COM6 error!". I tried resetting the PLC and computer baud rates at 9600, still able to maintain communications between PLC and computer, but same error with DCON Utility when trying to find the i-7018.

Any help?
