[@stephencollier4906]

Thank you !! two days trying to figure out what was happening with the HMI, I pushed a update to a machine 200 miles away and ended upwith this problem, you saved me a trip !!

[@jabbawok944]

I'm gonna give my Schneider rep a roasting about this. Wasted half a day until I came across your video. Thanks!!!

[@bobtherrien1106]

I have a HMIG2U and a M262 that I've been trying for days to get to talk. You solved it! Thank you!! There's not much online for troubleshooting these..

[@appalachianautomation6749]

That's why I made this silly video on my phone. I fought it for days and NOTHING was out there! Glad I could help!

[@parththakkar8038]

Hi, Im having the same issue, I use PLC M200 with HMI ET6400. M200 is programmed in machine expert basic and im trying to connect it with the hmi using Modbus TCP. Any chance you know how to resolve the issue over the modbus TCP?

Thank you! It was very nice!

[@assemelamirelmasri8739]

Hi guys I faced problem with the HMI while starting up the machine the errors are Failed to receive on a socket ( com_veloce) The other error is Variable data had bad data quality . Write aborted . (com_veloce) Is this error looks like the same error in the video or not?

[@diogocosta2626]

Another tip: If you connect your plc by ethernet cable to the pc, go to the browser and insert in the website bar the plc IP, you can acess the configuration of maintenence and disable the acess by password. Then that configuration is no longer necessary

[@diogocosta2626]

But before discovering this, i've used your method, thanks

[@assemelamirelmasri8739]

Can you provide me your WhatsApp number

[@preethamcastalino5929]

Dear Sir, I have xbtgt4330 magelis hmi and error is no reply from plc within timeout period. Can you please help me to solve this problem.

[@paulagbo5847]

Thank you so much I'm currently facing a similar problem but on M258

[@ayhamjibreen3375]

I have the same problem on M258 can you help me?

[@melchorlee2201]

Good day Sir...Can I ask you a favor to help me Sir!!!We have a problem about our Composite Boiler having a PLC FAILURE...

[@balaganesh2872]

Tm262 plc all ip okay but not connected to plc

[@Trixboomer]

fighting this right now with a bottling line and I know its this simple but we are having to buy a new PLC

[@Bisofication]

Still can't get my HMIS5T to connect to my M241 after hours and hours of tries. It's ridiculous , I tried every possible option without any luck although everything pings correctly!

[@camarobo9244]

I can help with that. These are a pain sometimes. what's the message you are getting on the HMI?

[@camarobo9244]

zip and shoot me your program file to [e-mail] if you want and I will see what I can do to help solve it. I don't mind to help at all.

[@Bisofication]

@@camarobo9244 I get the same message as you do. I'll resort to Schneider supplier technical support. Thanks for the offer though! I've seen this problem everywhere on the forums. I'll let you know if there's a solution to it. Basel

[@a.kariemahmed8109]

@@Bisofication Hi Basel, Have solved the issue? I have the same error and i have tried @Jim D. 's method but no luck yet!

[@Bisofication]

@@a.kariemahmed8109 yeah, I changed the node names of both of the PLC and the HMI and that solved it apparently
