  Hi @CKB, the Unipi Extensions are generic ModbusRTU slaves. Since they communicate over RS485 and Unipi 1.1 doesn't have any, you need to use USB/RS485 converter. Best regards, Martin

  @martin-kudláček said in Neuron slow communication with extension modules: mid-length Hello Martin, Thanks for the answer. I've already thought of something like that. According to the DIP switch, the xS11 can only have a maximum baudrate of 19200. An increase has led to a loss of communication. I thought about swapping my M303 controller for an L303 to have enough inputs on the controller to bypass the Modbus. I then only use the extension modules to use outputs and inputs where speed is not an issue. Is it correct that the processing of the internal inputs on a controller (e.g. L303) is a faster method than Modbus? Is my approach understandable and sensible, or do I have a mistake in thinking? With kind regards Walter

  For the people who encounter the same problem or just stumble on this post by coincidence: UniPi tech wrote: “We know the firmware update, especially of the extensions, is a sort of Achilles heel and we are thinking about some concept of dual firmware to which you can revert to if the flashing of the new firmware fails.” I also would like to mention the excellent support from UniPi! I’ve received a very fast and meaningful response from both the technical as commercial team, and they are moving heaven and earth to provide me the fastest possible solution. I didn’t experience such a personal approach from an international company since a long time.

  Hello @marko2276, the Direct switch is indeed supported on xS10 and xS40 as well. Best regards, Martin

  Hi @alydersen, it is hard to tell what's wrong without the access to the setup. Would it be possible to arrange SSH access to the PLC? We can go over the details via email: support@unipi.technology Best regards, Martin

  Apologies, I had taken time off for personal reasons for the last two days. I will be here over the next two weeks every day.

  I assume that this problem has now been solved, based on your responses in other topics? It's hard to see the connections when they overlaid on top of each other like that.

  @sidoor It might work but it always depends on in what environment the installation is done. You can just cut the RS45 connectors and do the wiring in the standardized clamps

  @christophebler Ok, than the serial line works well. But I still recommend using our opensource image because the parameters that can be set using the github version is limited and might cause some troubles which are fixed in the opensource image. Byt the way, what do you want to do by 'Set Adress to 0 and rebooted both devices'? You can set address only at the slave which is the xS50 and if you set it to 0, than the SW configuration is used (address 15, 19200bps, no parity) and you are opening different device... Address 0 is not allowed on Modbus, thus the behavior like I described.

  @SorakCz In case of TCP Modbus than yes, just need to take care of the software part. Sorry for the inconveniences but a few changes in the FW can generate too much questions so I cannot give you any estimated time right now. It can be week but also four...
