Install COPROSYS nano Devices

There is serial communication port on Remote I/O Device of CONPROSYS nano series.
These serial communication ports are used to control as RS-232C/422A/485 devices by wired LAN.

You may use 9-pin D-SUB on CPSN-MCB271-S1 as RS-232C serial port through wired LAN.
And also, you may use the I/O module CPSN-COM-1PD which is installed on Remote I/O CPU Unit as RS-422A/485 serial port as well.

In these cases, it handle the serial port on CONPROSYS nano as Virtual COM port on your PC.

When using a virtual COM port, the following installation procedure is required.
Also, you must repeat steps from 1 to 12 below for each COM port you are using.

The overview is same as Virtual COM port for Media Converters.
Please refer "What is Virtual COM port" topic to know more details.

Implement CONPROSYS nano Devices

   When you select "CONTEC Co,.Ltd." from the [Manufacturer] list in the left pane, the [Model] list in the right pane will be updated.
   
   

6. In the [Model] list in the right pane, select[F&eIT Virtual COM Port] and click [Next >].
   
   

7. [Completing the Add Hardware Wizard] dialog is displayed.
   Click [Finish] to complete the installation of Media Converter devices
   At this time,virtual COM server will be automatically registered in the startup folder.
   
   

8. Please go the next step when you use the serial port on Remote I/O CPU unit itself.
   Please install I/O module to Remote I/O CPU Unit when you use the extended serial port on it.
   For details on how to install, please refer to the reference manual for I/O module.
   

9. Connect the power cable to Remote I/O CPU unit and power it on.
   For details on how to connect, please refer to the reference manual(Hardware) for each hardware device.
   

10. With the OS running, connect the PC and device with a LAN cable.
    For details on how to connect, please refer to the reference manual(Hardware) for each hardware device.
    

11. Please setting the properly Remote I/O device of CONPROSYS nano series with "CONPROSYS nano WEB Setting".
    For details on setting, please refer to the reference manual (Software) for each hardware device.
    You can not use Virtual COM port on the COM port which you have already indicated as using Modbus RTU Slave with CONPROSYS nano WEB Setting.
    

12. Before using the media converter devices, please confirm and change the COM port.
