Connext to TSX17 DRIVER

[adricesa]

Hello,



I have to connect to a TSX 17-20 using a VM with windows 95, from a PC with windows XP,



I have the PL7-2 software but when Im trying to connect it says error, I followed these steps:

​

-PLC on stop

-Configure the COM on the VM settings (the host with windows XP only has COM1)

serial0.present = "TRUE"
serial0.fileType = "device"
serial0.fileName = "COM1"
serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "TRUE"


But the last step I think I need its the driver TSXPC01, does anyone have it?

Its impossible to find it on the internet and Schneider doesnt support it anymore...

Thank you!!!

Have a great day.

I don't believe there is a separate driver for this. I can check my configuration tomorrow.

It is possible the program was written with PL7-1, and not PL7-2. The early TSX17-20 firmware was different. I don't know about the backwards compatibility.

EDIT
There is also a User Interface disk which needs to be installed.
Check PM for download driver UNI-TELWAY+Win+95+98+NT4+2000+XP+V1_1+ie02+SCP114

Hello, thanks for the answer.

From what I learned yesterday for the PL7-2 thats inside my VM with win95 i needed to link the autoexec.bat that opens the software with the start of the VM with the tsxpc01.exe so it pops it?

This is what I should see when my VM starts.


I saw that the PL7-2 on win95 cant comunicate by itself, its the driver that does the external comunication.

And for what you said about being programmed with PL7-1 its possible, not even the engineers of my client touched that PLC ever so im the first person interacting with it after it was installed probably 20years ago or even more...

We were using this cable and an adapter for the 25pins to 9 pins to my computer, also read that with the adapter the driver might not work, so we might need to look for a new cable.

Also dont know what you talked about the user interface disk, didnt see anything like that anywhere.

Its my 2 day using VM and im 20yo that only used win10 so I know almost nothing from older windows and this type of things but need it for work.

Appreciate all the help and feedback you can do.


Thanks
