We confirmed with the VPN third party provider they are seeing all of our requests 100% effectiveness, it now seems the issue at hand is by the attempt of the Soft Comfort v6.1 obtains the request, through the Com port redirector to the LOGO (in a direct connection via the LOGO serial programming cable) this time's out (without attempting GSM).Īny further ideas / settings to be changed in software would be appreciated to perhaps delay this rapid timeout of the software expecting the serial information, in what looks to be the ms range.USB Redirector is available as a free download from our software library. Also, the successfully testing telephone modem and the GSM Modem both support the 11 bit functionality the LOGO is looking for (9600, 8 E, 1). We are using a RS 232 to Ethernet communications server and port redirector, not USB. I suppose at the moment the biggest question would be, is there a way to change that timeout function on the serial port concerning the LOGO soft comfort software? We could not find a general settings tab regarding this in the general GUI of the software functionality. I would be glad to share you my results when we figure out to confirm this will not work, or perhaps this VPN is a way around it in the US market for cellular communications.


Theorically, with an internet connection and VPN software / Hardware at the main facility, they are attempting not to really program, however live monitor the status inputs / outputs. I / We that are working on this project are aware of the limitations in the US Cellular network for this type of point to point configuration, such the reason this third party provider is allowing us to VPN tunnel into their network, allowing us with an Internet connection to obtain and remote GSM modem's via a virtual IP address. Thank you for your response, it's very appreciated. Application has been tested with Phone line modems successfully.Īny feedback or experience would be appreciated This allows for communications in the US, around a point to point GSM to GSM Modem.

#Usb redirector v6 code
My assumption is this is a preset value within the source code of the Soft Comfort environment, is there any way to change this? Also, if using a modem functionality, software only assumes you are using a telephone based phone line to dial, is there a way to pick COM 7 for instance for data connection rather than a physical phone modem and dial prompt.įurther technical application details are using a GSM / GPRS Modem w/ secure VPN communications (ethernet), allowing remote monitoring and Virtual IP address to multiple LOGO's, through a third party. There is a small deal of latency involved with this procedure (max up to 4 seconds - see below involving GSM/VPN), assigned is COM 7 to the interfaces within the Soft Comfort, however if attempting to connect to download / upload a simple program to the latest LOGO, it seems that the Soft Comfort environment is timing out on the serial port communications. My application involves using a Com Redirector / Com Server since the LOGO communications is through a serial cable to a ethernet device.
#Usb redirector v6 update
I'm very new to using the Siemens LOGO product along with the latest firmware update of v6.1 of the Soft Comfort programming environment.
