Operating instructions

Multiplexer

11.5.1 Take notice

At the PG-software, it may possibly occurs that the COM-port of the PC have wrong entries.

You must show into the COM.INI file and check the parameters and may change them.

Anywhere in that file stands:

; (English)

; Baudrate: speed at which SUCOSOFT S30-...

; sends and receives data. Permissible values:

; 110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 baud

; ReceiveTimeout: Time that must elapse after the receipt

; of a character before the transfer is aborted with

; an error message. The value for this parameter

; must be an integer value entered in seconds.

some lines later:

Baudrate=9600

ReceiveTimeout=1

This values must be the same.

For the connection to a PS4-201, the connection cables must be make by yourself, because the

operation panels often have a 9-pin-connector, but not the rounded DIN-connectors. The

cable must be customised with regarding at the connector assignment of the PG-MUX and the

connector assignment of your operation panel. The connection cable to the PC must be a 9 pol

1:1 cable. The bridges who were needed by the PG-software are connected internally in the

PG-MUX at both PG connectors.

If two operation panels were connected to the PG-MUX, both must be differently configured,

in case of that the operation panels haven’t the same FW´s and DB´s. If the FW´s and DB´s

are the same, the PLC can not distinguish from what OP the data was transferred. That

problem doesn’t appears when you use different FW´s and DB´s.

You should generally enter a `time-out` into your OP (if it is possible), because if a PG

transfers a large DB (for example), the OP must wait for the next conversation with the PLC.

If you increase the time-out, the OP waits for a longer time, can’t go into the ´time-out´. A

good time is 3-5 sec.
