Communications issues with your Omron Controller may arise if a non-recommended adapter is being used. Ensure that the connected device is not faulty.

Why are communications not possible with my Omron Controller?
Communications issues with your Omron Controller may arise if a non-recommended adapter is being used. Ensure that the connected device is not faulty.
Why aren't the set points or RUN/STOP status changing for slaves on my Omron Temperature Controller?
If the set points or the RUN/STOP status will not change for any of the slaves, check that: * The wiring to the master (i.e., the Controller with communications unit number 0) is not correct. * The communications settings in the master are not correct.
Why can't I always change set points on my Omron E5GC Temperature Controller?
If it's sometimes not possible to change the set points or RUN/STOP status on your Omron Temperature Controller, there may be noise interference. Connect terminating resistance to both ends of the communications line.
How to prevent Omron E5GC communication data corruption due to environmental noise?
If the communications data is being corrupted by noise, try using a slower baud rate. Also, separate the communications cable from the source of the noise.
