Has anyone used the Somfy RS485 Link for controlling ILT motors? Im having a heck of a time trying to get some screen motors to work. I have wired the NI3100 port to Rs485, set baud settings, in accordance with mfr recommendation and still can't comtrol the motors.
With pins 1-9 and 4-6, jumpered and I have have the A siginal from the motor controller going to pin 4 on the NI31000, and have the B signal wired to pin 1 on the db9 connector.
When is press the wall switches for the screens I get a hex string back through the Ni controller, Try and send a command string to the screen motors I get noting from the device and it's not doing the command.
Note the command string is copy/past from the Somfy code generator, but don't seem to work. Somfy Tech support says it should be working fine.
Has anyone used Somfy products
Thanks

Also here's the NI Controller pinout to try to get your ILT wired properly.

I did have to reverse the cables and wire is A - B , Baud is set to 4800, O,8,1, Enable 485
But the motors are still not activating. I'll try to get ILT protocol documents from Somfy
