    I refer to this forum and connect scn 6, but it will not work.
    Is the software setting incorrect?
    Neither v1.3 nor demo version v2.0 reacts.

    I do not understand how to activate v1.3 software.
    Can someone tell me?

    It is a product called SCN 6-060-100.
    On the TBVST Visual Setting Tool, the cylinder is operating normally.
    The cylinder ID was also set to 0.

    The RS - 485 board you are using is FTDI USB - COM 485 - PLUS 4.

    Is it necessary to plug in SCN to SIM TOOL?

    1.3 does not need to be activated, just installed. However, 1.3 and 2.0 can't be installed at the same time.

    Is it that SCN works only by installing SIM TOOL v1.3?

    Is there anything else I need to set?

    scn 5 or 6s work perfectly take a snap sho of you setting with a phone then unistall simtools v1.3 (everythinbg in the simtools v1.3 also there a folder with the unistall in it) and its dead easy to setup simtools v2. by using some old setting for axis ect.

    you will need some adapters like in the link crammy has put up.

    what you could do is connect 1 scn6 and try that see if you get movement with the usb that way.

    but like crammy says it does not support 2 on 1 usb.

    any help we are here

    Everyone, Thank you very much for your advice.
    I worked safely where I took countermeasures based on everyone's advice.
    I appreciate that you made this software.

    It was able to operate with USB COM 485 PLUS 4.

    A trick was necessary for the wiring of the D - SUB 9 PIN used for connection with the base.

    1, wire the resistance of 120R to the 1st pin and the 3rd pin as the termination processing for the cylinder connector which becomes the both ends.

    2, Since the default is in echo mode, it worked if short-circuit wiring of echo cancellation is done to pin 7 and pin 8.

    Its good you got it working mate. i would still look into getting the adapters in the link posted though. They are so much neater and you are less likely to short something out. no board needed. they connect straight to the actautor and plug in to pc
