5.2 GPIB Communications Troubleshooting
The GPIB communication option is provided through the use of ICS's Model 4899 GPIB-to-Modbus
Controller.
The 4899 is an IEEE 488.2 compatible GPIB device that can control Modbus slave
devices. It accepts simple GPIB bus commands that are used to create Modbus RTU packets that
are transmitted serially to the Modbus slave devices, in this case, the EZT.
When this option is provided, it is connected to the EZT’s RS485 serial connection. For the GPIB
interface to be used, the EZT must have its serial port mode setting for COM3 set to RS485. If the
serial port is not set for RS485, the GPIB interface will be unable to communicate with the EZT and
communications will not be able to take place.
Table 5-3 Common GPIB Communication Problems and Corrective Actions
SYMPTOM PROBABLE
CAUSES
CORRECTIVE
ACTIONS
GPIB interface not responding to
read/write commands.
4899 power turned off.
Wrong bus address.
Missing termination character.
Turn 4899 power switch on.
Verify 4899 GPIB bus address.
Use proper termination character
(default is LF).
Not reading data from EZT.
Read command sent to quickly after
write command.
4899 serial timeout set to short.
Wrong communication port mode on
EZT.
EZT timeout setting too low.
Improper or loose connection.
Slow down communication rate
between write/read commands to
allow EZT time to respond.
Set 4899 serial timeout to higher
value. Use “D ####” command where
#### = timeout in milliseconds.
Verify proper serial port mode for
connection used (RS232/485).
Increase EZT timeout setting and/or
slow down PC communication rate.
Check cables and wiring for loose or
damaged connections. Verify proper
polarity.
