Help! Can't Talk to VXM.
tnapo...@gmail.com
I’m trying to connect to a VMX controller from my laptop, but, cosmos gives me the following error after I run the Startup | Wizard:
Setup wizard: Aborted – Unable to locate VMX
I tried two different sets of USB/RS232 cables already, to rule-out the cables.
I also sent cmd “F,I1M400,R” and never Rx the ready prompt char (“^”). Also, I manually set the port to COM3 and then send the cmd “E” and
the COSMOS status bar says: “Status: Port Open”, “Status: Online”. However, the On-Line light on the front panel of the device never turns on
like the manual says. I also tried sending the cmds via hyperterm & NI Max with out success.
What could be the problem?
FYI: I’m able to move the bislides using the jog buttons on the VXM, which means that it is in local mode. Also, I can move the Bislide with a joystick.
SW:
COSMOS v3.1.6
Windows 7
HW:
VXM-1, S# 140237
VXM-2, S# 140236
Two bislide assemblies in an x/y cfg.
Any tips/tricks to talk to the VMX will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

If you go to www.velmexcontrols.com on the software page and download and run the "Serial Port Diagnostic" and send me the diagnostic file then I can determine the lack of communication.
