EIP to DF1

Exemple: EIP to DF1 (AB PLC):

serial
DF1

Nothing to do, requires only serial port configuration

 Transparent Gateway
EIP to DF1

Requires only RS port configuration

Needs specific VCOM software on PC side

12 Use our free eVCOM software.
 VCOM Practice

Enable VCOM configuration

 VCOM Practice

Create a new COM port on the PC using eVCOM

o Click on the button

o Select the Com port
o For the port type select « Standard VCOM » :
o Enter the eWON IP address as Gateway address

o Click the Update button

o And finish with enabling the port

You can now use the eWON serial port as if it was physically connected
to the PC

VCOM connection success depend on software timeout tolerance.

14
Ethernet connection needs longer timeouts than serial connection.
