Hello Gents,
After a few years reading on this site I’m now placing my firs own question hire.
I have a Red Lion G310C000 HMI and using Crimson 2.0 to program it.
Both serial RS232 ports don’t react anymore, but the RS422/485 and Ethernet port works fine.
So now i must choose between the Mitsubishi FX2N or the Siemens S7 315-2DP and using the Helmholtz (SSW7-HMI) MPI-bus adaptor and a RS232-485 converter to connect to the last real serial port on the HMI.
Now i was thinking, could it be possible to use a VSP (virtual serial port) and connect it on the HMI over Ethernet?
I try the following thing in Crimson - Communications:
driver selection, Manufacture "system" and Driver "Virtual Serial Port Version 1.0", Share Port = Yes, TCP Port = 23.
Manual configured the Ethernet port
IP address 192.168.23.10
Network Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.23.0
(programming/updating the HMI works fine), IP Routing = Enabled, IP Download = Enabled, Port Number = 23.
IP address router = 192.168.23.1.
IP address pc = 192.168.23.2.
I'm running VSP software from: http://www.eterlogic.com/Products.VSPE.html
Configured a TCPclient, Remote TCP host = 192.168.23.10 Remote TCP port = 23 and Source serial port = COM1 9600,8,1,N.
But this doesn’t work.
Have someone any idea watt i do wrong or is this not passible at all?
