What causes Error 199 when using Modsoft and

Modbus?
The following table shows causes and actions to take in order to alleviate Error 99 in Modsoft.

Cause or Symptom Action


1. Com port is attached by Disable or uninstall program attached to com port.
another program. Common programs that attach com ports are RSLinx, and HotSync Manager
Default com parameters are:
Address - 1
Protocol - Modbus I
2. Communication Mode - RTU
Parameters are incorrect. Data Bits - 8
Parity - Even
Stop Bits - 1
Baud - 9600
Open Device Manager
Click on Ports
Click on Com1
3. Windows port settings
Click on Properties
need to be adjusted.
Click on Advanced
Verify the "transmit and receive buffers" are set to maximum.
Verify the FIFO or XON/XOFF box has a check in it.
Quantum Programming Cable 990NAA26320 - 12 ft
Quantum Programming Cable 990NAA26350 - 50 ft.
Compact Programming Cable AS-W952-12 - 12 ft
Momentum with 9 pin Modbus connectors can use any of the above.

4. Cable Pinout is incorrect or


has a broken wire.

Desktop computers
programming 9-pin Modbus
RS232 port PLCs.
Alternate jumpered pinout. Note DTR and DSR are jumpered out.
This ties handshaking high so a laptop com port with lower voltage can connect to our
PLCs.

5. Cable Pinout is incorrect.

Laptop computers
programming 9-pin Modbus
RS232 port PLC.
You need to purchase a prewired kit adapter to build this pinout.
RJ45 to 9-pin Adapter 110XCA20300
RJ45 Programming Cable 110XCA2820x
where x = 1, 3 ft
2, 10 ft
3, 20 ft

6. Cable pinout is incorrect or


has a broken wire.

Desktop computers with


RJ45 Modbus RS232 PLC
ports. PLCs with RJ45
Modbus programming ports
are Compact, Momentum,
and the Modicon Micro.

7. Cable pinout is incorrect.


See programming cable part numbers in previous step.
RJ45 to 9-pin Adapter - 110XCA20301
Laptop computers with RJ45 The adapter kit for this configuration is NOT prewired.
Alternate jumpered pinout. Note DTR and DSR are jumpered out.
This ties handshaking high so a laptop com port with lower voltage can connect to our
PLCs.

Modbus RS232 PLC ports.


PLCs with RJ45 Modbus
programming ports are
