The following network types are provided:

• Serial

• Modem

• Ethernet

• USB

All communication settings are made in the “Communication settings”, which can be opened in two ways:

• Via the channel properties. In this case the settings are stored in the channel properties in the project file.

• Via “Server” > “Communication Settings (MEWTOCOL OPC Server compatibility namespace)”. In this case the settings are stored in the folder C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Panasonic-ID SUNX Control\PxMEWNET. The user name in the folder is the Windows login name of the current user.

  The file names for the different network types are as follows:

  • The serial communication settings are stored in the file "PxMEWCOMM.INI".

  • The Ethernet communication settings are stored in the file “PxMewMultiEther.dat”.

• From version 2.100, communication is done via the PxMewnet manager. In former versions (lower than 2.100) the communication is done via the NAiS MEWNET manager, which stores the communication settings in different files. To keep the settings, please refer to the corresponding troubleshooting section.
