    Prerequisites for This Guide
    The following guide will assist you to setup a remote and online connection to a
    Twido controller placed on the customer site using the Twido Suite software.
    This guide concentrates on the Twido TWDLCAE40DRF controller attached to
    the SiteManager via the USB-to-RS485 converter (TSXCUSB485), but may al-
    so work with other USB enabled Twido PLCs and software packages.
    Prerequisites for this guide are:
     You have an operational LinkManager installed on your PC with a
    LinkManager certificate that allows you to connect to the SiteManager
    agents.
     You have the Twido PLC and the Twido designer software installed on
    your PC.
     You have connected the SiteManager with a USB cable to the USB-to-
    RS485 converter (set to TER MULTI), which is connected to the Twido
    PLC using the Twido programming cable.
     You have configured the agent on the SiteManager to type Schneider >
    USB adapter.
    If this is not the case, we kindly ask you to contact the person / department re-
    sponsible within your own company or at the company responsible hereof.

    System Overview
    The communication path is as follows:
    Twido Suite  LinkManager  GateManager  SiteManager  PLC.
    This guide will elaborate on the components marked with bold.
    The following system overview depicts a SiteManager 1029 at the customer lo-
    cation:

    1. USB Connection via LinkManager
    The following steps have been performed with Twido Suite software and
    USB drivers already installed on the same PC where the LinkManager is ac-
    tivated.

    1. Locate the agent configured with the Twido USB device and click on it to es-
    tablish a connection to it:

    2. Select the mode you want to operate in. In this guide, “Programming” Mode is
    used.

    3. Connect to the PLC to upload the program from the PLC, by selecting “Open
    an existing project”.

    4. Select the Controller, and click the Load button at the bottom of the window.

    5. the Twido Suite will now search the installed COM ports on the computer for
    the PLC (A COM port in this case is mapped to a USB driver)

    6. Next, it will show a list of available COM ports. If you are unsure of what COM
    port to use, check the MODBUS driver, which was installed during the Twido
    Suite installation. In this scenario, we can launch the MODBUS Serial Driver
    by right-clicking on the icon in the system tray, and select configure.

    7. In the dropdown-menu, notice the COM port marked (ready). In this example it
    is COM6.

    8. Revert to the Twido Suite, and select the corresponding COM port (in this
    case, COM6). Then, click OK.

    9. The Twido Suite will now connect to the PLC, and upload the project.

    10. You are now online with the PLC.

    2. USB connection via Windows XP under VMWare
    You can run the Twido Suite software inside a VMWare engine, to a Twido PLC
    that is USB attached to a SiteManager.
    Important: Note that LinkManager can only run inside VMWare if the host OS
    is Windows 7 and the PC’s CPU has support for virtualization.
    The following illustrates VMWare Player, which can be downloaded from
    http://www.vmware.com/support/product-support/player/, and for LinkManager
    running outside the virtual machine (i.e. on the host system)

    1. Locate your Windows XP that has the Twido Suite installed, and enter Edit
    virtual machine settings.

    2. Make sure that USB Controller has been added as Hardware component:

    3. Start the VMWare engine and the LinkManager inside the VMWare engine.

    4. Follow the procedure of section 1 on page 4 to get access to the PLC via
    LinkManager.
