I have a 2005 generic Taiwan-made VMC with a Mitsubishi Meldas 64s control. I've gotten a lot of help from this community while setting this machine up, and I have a further question about setting up a connection to a computer with ethernet.
The prior owners of this machine used it while connected via ethernet to a desktop PC set up next to it, however it sat for years unused and I was hired at this company after the machine was setup here but never operated. Since we got it back up I have been dripfeeding via serial cable with HSMEdit (aka CIMCO), and I'd like to try connecting via ethernet. However, instructions for such a thing are just immune to Google searches.
I found the parameters for the connection, but literally nothing on what to do inside Windows to grant access to the hard drive, or what to do within the control to access the programs on the computer. I think it's just assumed I should already know this stuff, but I don't!
My objective is to run programs stored on the hard drive by calling them up from the control, and for the connection to be faster than serial so the machine doesn't studder. Is this unrealistic?
If comprehensive instructions have already been published, would you kindly reply with a link?
