Dear Dan Burns, Thank you for using our products. Firstly, ezVSP converts serial data from a serial software on PC to TCP data. You need to configure ezVSP as described in this document https://www.eztcp.com/en/download/pds_files/an_ezvsp_en.pdf. If it still does not work, please send us the screenshot of your ezVSP configuration. Secondly, SMG-5420 CANNOT use with ezVSP. Because SMG-5420 converts Modbus/TCP data to Modbus/RTU (or ASCII) data, and vice versa. Therefore, - Modbus/TCP device/software connects to SMG-5420 via TCP/IP network (Ethenet port) - Modbus/RTU (or ASCII) device/software connects to SMG-5420 via serial port In the case you use Modbus Poll software, You CAN: - connect Modbus Poll (configured as ModbusTCP) to SMG-5420 via TCP/IP network (with TCP header) - connect Modbus Poll (configured as Modbus/RTU) to SMG-5420 via serial port (without TCP header) You CANNOT: - uses Modbus Poll (configured as Modbus/RTU) to SMG-5420 via TCP/IP network (through ezVSP). Because in this case, Modbus/RTU data is sent over TCP/IP, NOT Modbus/TCP. SMG-5420 is configured via spFinder software https://www.eztcp.com/en/download/spfinder.php, If you meet any problem, please send us the screenshot of SMG-5420 status in spFinder. It looks like this image: https://www.eztcp.com/en/download/images/spfinder.png I hope the above is useful to you. Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.

With Modbus Poll thru the serial port only the serial data gets sent to the smg-5420 there is no tcp header information. Is there some setting I need for the ezVSP virtual com port to add the tcp header? > > Thanks, Dan |
