Interface Description

  1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options. On the Security tab, click the Trusted Sites icon. Click Sites and then add these website addresses one at a time to the list: You can only add one address at a time and you must click Add after each one.
  2. A Programmable Logic Controller doesn’t have a direct user interface (a screen or a keyboard or a mouse). To communicate with the PLC, a computer is connected (in one or more ways, Ethernet is probably most common right now).

If you do not see the correct PLC model in this drop down go back to step five and double check the driver for your device. Some devices are displayed as part of a device model family. For example, a ControlLogix 5570 is part of the 5500 family. Assign the Device ID and select Next.

IGSS offers an interface for the Modicon PLC series and Modbus compatible systems using the Serial Modbus RTU and ASCII protocols.
The communication driver uses standard RS-232 serial ports to connect to up to 8 PLCs. Each of these PLCs may in turn be connected to other devices (e.g. other PLCs) via a separate network (e.g. Modbus or Modbus Plus networks)
The communication interface supports both direct and dial-up connections.
The IGSS system polls the PLC equipment cyclically according to one of four user-defined time intervals. The time intervals are configurable from 100 milliseconds to 999 seconds. The system automatically groups process data in data blocks – thus fully exploiting the communication link in relation to the present configuration.

Check the software driver installation

1) Open the Device Manager dialog from Control Panel

  • Windows Vista: Start >> Control Panel >> System >> Hardware >> Device Manager
  • Windows XP: Start >> Control Panel >> System >> Hardware >> Device Manager
  • Windows 2000: Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> System >> Hardware >> Device Manager
  • Windows 98/ME: Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> System >> Device Manager

2) Click the plus sign (+) next to 'Ports'.

3) If the device is properly installed, 'Serialio.com USB Serial Port' or 'Prolific USB-to-Serial COM Port' will be displayed.


The software driver is properly installed, but the USB-RS232 adaptor does not work as expected

One of the common reasons that software may not work as expected with a USB-Serial adaptor when the devcie is properly installed, is many older programs (and even some new ones) only support a limited number of COM ports (e.g. only COM1 - COM4)

If the USB-RS232 adapter is installed as COM5, it may need to be reassigned to COM1 - COM4 to work with some software.

The following outlines how to to reassign the COM port on Windows XP/2K/Me/98SE

Windows XP

1) Follow steps 1-3 of 'Check the software driver installation'above.

2) Right-click on the 'Prolific USB to Serial Port', then click Properties

3) Click on the 'Port Settings' tab. Click the 'Advanced' button.

4) In the 'COM Port Number' drop-down select the desired port number. For example if the software requires COM2, select COM2. Note the COM port must have '(in use)' listed next to it, if it does then another device with that name is already installed in the system. After selecting the desire port number, click 'OK.'

5) Click 'OK' again, and the device will show up as being on the same COM port that it was before (i.e., COM5), but should show up on the selected port name when the Device Manager dialog is closed and opened again.

6) Close the Device Manager. Launch the software to use with the new COM port.
