Step 5: Now download the latest version of the driver, or we can say update Canon IP2770 printer driver by selecting the Update device option. Step 6: Instruct the Windows to find the driver update automatically by clicking on the ‘ Search automatically for updated driver software ’ option. Only download these applications to a R2D, R3D, or R4D printer. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THEM TO ANY OTHER PRINTER!! Attempting to do so may cause the printer to malfunction. Please call technical support at 866-230-9494 if you need assistance.
In order to assign real-time capability to a standard Ethernet port of an IPC controller, the Beckhoff real-time driver has to be installed on this port under Windows.
This can be done in several ways. One option is described here.

In the System Manager call up the TwinCAT overview of the local network interfaces via Options → Show Real Time Ethernet Compatible Devices.

This have to be called up by the Menü “TwinCAT” within the TwinCAT 3 environment:
The following dialog appears:
Interfaces listed under “Compatible devices” can be assigned a driver via the “Install” button. A driver should only be installed on compatible devices.
A Windows warning regarding the unsigned driver can be ignored.
Alternatively an EtherCAT-device can be inserted first of all as described in chapter Offline configuration creation, section “Creating the EtherCAT device” in order to view the compatible ethernet ports via its EtherCAT properties (tab “Adapter”, button “Compatible Devices…”):
TwinCAT 3: the properties of the EtherCAT device can be opened by double click on “Device . (EtherCAT)” within the Solution Explorer under “I/O”:
After the installation the driver appears activated in the Windows overview for the network interface (Windows Start → System Properties → Network)
A correct setting of the driver could be:
In most cases an Ethernet port that is configured as an EtherCAT device will not transport general IP packets. For this reason and in cases where an EL6601 or similar devices are used it is useful to specify a fixed IP address for this port via the “Internet Protocol TCP/IP” driver setting and to disable DHCP. In this way the delay associated with the DHCP client for the Ethernet port assigning itself a default IP address in the absence of a DHCP server is avoided. A suitable address space is 192.168.x.x, for example. |
Virtual COM Port Drivers for Ross-Tech USB Interfaces
Older Ross-Tech RS-232 Serial interfaces can be set to power up as 'dumb K-Line pass through' interfaces. This allowed those old Serial interfaces to be compatible with a wide variety of third-party applications which expect a 'K-line pass-through' serial interface. However, our USB interfaces present additional challenges. Early in their development, we found a number of technical advantages to using a 'direct' USB driver which bypasses the Windows Serial drivers entirely. Hence the USB drivers that ship with VCDS do not emulate a serial COM port and cannot be used with applications that expect to communicate via a serial port.
NOTE: The following applies to our legacy USB interfaces (HEX-USB, KII-USB and HEX-USB+CAN). It does NOT apply to our current HEX-V2 or HEX-NET interfaces. These new interfaces do not use a USB UART chip and cannot be be used for 'dumb K-line pass-through'!
In order to facilitate the use of third-party applications which expect to communicate with a serial interface, drivers that emulate a COM port are available. However, anyone thinking about using them needs to be aware of the following points: Corechip USB devices Driver download.
We do not offer installation support for these drivers. They should be used only by someone who is competent/comfortable installing (and possible uninstalling) USB drivers on his PC.
We cannot offer any support for third-party software, nor any guarantee that it will work correctly with these drivers. Of course, the same would apply with a serial interface as well.
That said, here some installation notes:
These drivers are compatible with Windows 2000 and newer. They should work with W2K, XP-32, XP-64, Vista-32 and Vista-64. We do not have any VCP drivers for Windows 98!
Unzip the contents of the download into a new folder.
With an interface plugged in, find it in Device Manager, right-click it, and select Update Driver.
Depending on what drivers your system already has installed, you may have to 'force' these by telling the wizard not to search, but to let you specify what driver to install, then doing the Have Disk and Browse thing.
There's also the possibility that the Virtual COM Port won't install automatically. We've found no real pattern why it does on some systems and not on others. If it does not, find the interface in Device > Manager. The name should show '.. with VCP'. Open the properties sheet, click the Advanced tab, and make sure Load VCP is checked. Once checked, disconnect and re-connect the interface.
Once the USB Serial Port is installed, you may need to change the COM Port Number (depending on how high a number the applications supports). Device Manager, Properties sheet for the USB Serial Port, Port Settings tab, Advanced button. The COM Port Number may change if you plug the interface into a different USB port, so I'd recommend always using the same USB port.
VCDS should continue to work fine with these drivers installed. Leave VCDS set to USB, not a Virtual COM Port!
Assuming you've read and understand all of the above, you can download the 'Virtual COM Port' drivers here:
