Flexy With Lantronix Software

Sorry, I tried to log in to my support account, but can’t get in for some reason.

I have another unrelated problem.

I am using the EWON Flexy for 4 uses:

Remote access to the PLC for software upgrades (works fine)

HMI on the EWON Flexy with a profinet TCPIP to the PLC (also works fine)

Datalogging (work in progress, but getting there)

Remote access to a grid connect inverter (does not seem to connect)

The inverter is equipped with a Lantronix port director that basically connects a serial port to ethernet. They supply some software that sits on a PC that then connects the TCPIP to virtual com serial port that I can connect to locally. However, for some reason, it is not working when using the Talk-2-M VPN software (doesn’t see the devices on the Flexy LAN). Dos this sound familiar? Is there are work around?

Regards

Hello,

Do you need to access the PC in order to get the communication work?

Are you able to communicate with the PLC when connected on the LAN side of the Flexy?
