jwat Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I've done multiple searches on the forum and couldn't find my same issues: I'm running a Moxa 5210A serial device server, UDP protocol to two Sayno XP-200L projectors. I am having problems with 100% consistency on data transfer to both of my projectors. I changed the default port number of one projector from 4001 to 4005 and enabled data packing, which solved my issues on one projector, but the other projector remains inconsistent. I'm just using dowsing commands. Has anyone experience similar issues? Here is my exact configuration: Ports 4005 and 4002 19200 bps no parity stop bit 1 no flow control and no, the string commands are not in the exact spot in the timeline. Please help! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 UDP is by definition "unreliable". If the device supports TCP, you may want to consider using that instead. It sounds as if the device is controlled by serial data, and you use a MOXA to interface. I believe the MOXA handles TCP as well, which should be more "reliable".

Sergi Jover Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I've experienced some issues with Moxa serial converters as they lock the socket connection once this is inactive for a period of time. Then you need to restart the Moxa power in order to wake it up. Again, always TCP is a saver connection albeit is not the solution to avoid Moxa to lock up connections. Regards.

mpt_adam Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I saw Tibbo and Moxa were recommended in an old 2012 post. Is this still the case? At least the Tibbo, maybe not so much the Moxa. I'm looking at using the DS1102 to trigger another system the client has cooked up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpeeler Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 i have used the moxa single ports, 5100 series for years on many many shows as serial device servers for RS-232, 422, and 485. I have never had them be inconsistent. You said you changed a port number on a projector, you are connecting to the projector with a 9 pin serial cable correct ? or were you talking about the port on the moxa ? to use WO with the moxa i would use TCP, set the moxa as a tcp multi client server and the serial settings required for your projector. often times the serial port of the projector is less configurable than these device servers. you may need to try different flow control settings for example if they are not specified in the projector manual. i have used these with fixed cameras, robo cameras, switchers, matrices, projectors, monitors, relays, and more. I guess you could have a bad one but if it is a dual serial port and working on one projector there may be a different problem. what happens when you cross plug them ? gpeeler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpeeler Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 oops i didn't see the original posters date. mpt_adam , i recommend the moxas but i have not use any tibbo devices. gpeeler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Quim Posted December 20, 2015 Member Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I've been using Tibbo for long time and never had a problem. Quim 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
