Domore to GS4-47p5 Question

[brucek]

I'm trying for the first time to use mod-bus tcp to control this drive GS4-47p5. I'm sure I've seen somewhere that you can pull up in the do-more memory section on the project browser tab that you could set up the drive functions and it treats the drive like an remote rack. So basically you could see the memory to write to in order to run the drive and the speed and some other functions. I've looked at some of the  gs4 video's on YouTube and didn't see this. I'm guessing the GS4-CM-MODTCP card is not the 1 needed for this but as my first time not really sure. If anyone knows a good video to watch or what makes the memory show up in do-more then I'd appreciate the pointer. Mod-bus doesn't look that difficult if that's the correct way to do it.

To look like Ethernet I/O like the GS1/GS2/GS3, you need to have a GSEDRV100 module.  It knows how to talk "Ethernet I/O" protocol with Do-more.  The native GS4 does not.

If you want to do everything raw (where there is no Do-more Ethernet I/O driver for the GS4, no GSDrive structure, no GSREGRD/GSREGWR instruction support), then you must do everything by hand using MRX/MWX.

GSEDRV100 makes it easy (but added cost).
