    But my SCN6 provide a hub to connect to three SCN6,and the hub have a USB interface connect to the computer,So I have found only a comport.And only one SCN moved which ID is zero.

    With no informations it's hard to say. Follow the FAQ and keep in mind that you need 3 rs485-usb converters.

    @nclabs ... I thought SCN's are configurable to be 1,2,... based on one USB-RS458 converter . Aren't they ?

    Simtools does not support multiple SCN’s with different Id’s on a single rs485 to usb converter atm. One converter on each SCN with all Id’s set to default is mandatory. Then just use a separate interface in Simtools with each SCN used.
