    update to latest fw p and use the last PLC 5.0.0.12.

    best to upgrade your FW via serial , or serial USB converter,
    if you update directly via USB port disconnect your powerbars first read more here (http://www.aquariumcomputer.com/Foru...8&postcount=32)

    Default LAN Connection Problem

    Hello, I have a P3 runing firmaware 5.05f, & Profilux Control 5.0.5.3, I'm using a Mac running VMWare fusion, & Windows XP, I can connect to P3 via USB without problem, but when trying to use LAN, it's very eratic, Profilux Control crashes, there is a popup "Scanning for Network" that keeps poping up in an endless loop.

    I never use the scanning option , most of the time it never finds the P3.

    I just get the ip of my P3 and manual add it to plc

    That's what I have done, but I'm still getting communication errors, I have setup static address on the Profilux, & configured ip address within Profilux control, vmware is configured in bridge mode so it's on the same LAN segment.

    I hope someone can help me.
    I keep getting a a message while trying to connect:

    'No device has been found at all COM-ports!'

    I tried all 4 USB-ports on my computer.

    The drivers of the serial-USB adapter have been installed.

    After trying all ports for 50 times, it will connect once.
    If I disconnect the USB cable after that, problems that once again.

    This is really annoying. Hope anyone knows how to fix this.

    I already tried the option: RS485 delay

    My OS: Windows Seven 32-bits
    ProfiluxControl 5.1.0.0

    Grtz, Chris

    Hello,

    have you already read this link: http://www.aquariumcomputer.com/Foru...ase-read-first!
    Does your serial/USB-adapter contain the chipset FTDI or Prolific?
    Do you use our original serial cable?

    Hi,

    tnx for your answer!

    I assume I'm using the original serial cable.
    I bought my profilux plus 2 form someone who stopped his aquarium.
    This cable was included in the package.

    What's strange is that I am able to connect once in a while.
    But most of the time it refuses.

    You think it could be the cable?
    Or else I maybe forced to buy a USB extension module :S

    Grtz, Chris
