Opinions & Feedback / Trilogi version 6 woes
« on: September 06, 2006, 04:14:45 PM »
Hi,

A couple of software suggestions for a possible V6.12 and TLServer 3.01!!

Why is it, when you attempt to open (local drive) a .pc5 file with version 6.11, your unable to see any .pc5 files even if you have selected "all files" in the files of type selection box?  Is this a Known bug?

Why have you used a different theme for the "open" and "save as" pop up windows, you loose the function of being able to navigate with the windows shortcut icons i.e. my computer etc (on the LHS)?

I've also had a few problems with the TLserver accessing port 25 of my ISP SMTP server.  Most ISP's are blocking this port in a bid to stop spam, if the TLserver had a selectable / set by user SMPT port number along with your ISP user and password credentials, you will be able to send emails from TLserver whatever your ISP feels like changing next.

You can use some SMTP server software on your local PC like postcast http://www.postcast.com, but this still tries to access port 25.  One solution is to use an ISP like http://www.no-ip.com/services/ who will let you send mail to their SMTP server.  They will then forward the email on for a nominal yearly charge. It?s not very expensive, about $20 for a years subscription but it's still extra expense that I think could be avoided with a tweak of the TLserver's software.

Anyone agrees / disagrees with these points?

Technical support / Modbus RTU question
« on: August 31, 2006, 07:19:22 AM »

Hi,

I'm using the following code to read some Modbus ASCII data no problems

READMB2 3, 5, 101, DM[3],4

When I change the code to Modbus RTU I get no comms

READMB2 13, 5, 101, DM[3],4

I'm assuming that Comm 13 is COM3 RTU?

I'm using Wintech's modsim32, which works fine when configured as ASCII protocol but when I change to RTU, I get no data.

I use the setbaud function on a first scan

SETBAUD 3, &h03 ' SET COMM 3 RS485 8,1,N 9600

I would like to use standard RTU, as this is the most commonly used protocol in our control panels

Hi,

When I try to send an email I get the following error message in a windows message box

"java.netSocketException:Socket is not connected:connect"

I've tried TLserver versions 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0, connected to the comm 1 and comm 3.

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird and MS outlook express as an email client.

any ideas?

Technical support / Unable to program E10-npn+ via RS485
« on: August 26, 2006, 01:34:32 PM »
HI,

I have a T100MD-24 and an E10-npn+.  I'm using the Auto485 to connect and program the T100 with no problems.

I would like to be able to connect both PLC's to the RS485 network and program each one via their associated software (Tri logi for the T100 and wintrilogi for the E10) I'm having trouble connecting to the E10-npn+ via the RS485 connection.

Can the E10 be programmed via the RS485 connection?  I have connected the RS485 + on the auto485 to pin 5 on the E10 and the Rs485 - to pin 2 on the E10.

I have tried swapping the connections and installing a 120ohm resistor in the circuit with no avail.  

I have installed the jumper on the E10 to 485 and left the auto485 in "auto" mode.

Any help greatly appreciated

Marcus
