Structure of the rho4.0
3.5.5 Remote control with ROPS4 and virtual PHG
In a permanent network, the ROPS4 running on an external PC can be
coupled to the rho4.0.
With the virtual PHG, the rho4.0 can be operated via TCP/IP.
Settings on the rho4.0
L At the PHG under MODE 9.1.1 enter the coupling:
Type (0=Ser/1=Win): Win. chan
Port number : 6010
Interface : 0
L At the PHG under MODE 9.1.17 enter Virt_PHG:
Type (0=Ser/1=Win): Win. chan
Port number : 6100
Settings on the remote PC
L In the file ‘hosts’ assign all rho4.0 that are to be remote-controlled with
alias names and IP address.
L Edit the alias name of the rho4.0 which are to be remote controlled in the
file C:\Bosch\rho4\Office\VirtPHG.ini in section [VirtPHG] at the item
“ServerAlias” (e.g. rho40_1).
At the item “ServerPortNo” the same port number which was edited be-
fore at the PHG under MODE 9.1.17 must be inserted here (e.g. 6100)
. The file ‘hosts’ is to be found in the Windows directory, e.g.
C:\Winnt\system32\drivers\etc
Connecting ROPS4
L Start ROPS4 to connect to the desired rho4.0.
L In the setup of ROPS4-Online under [Options][Setup...] enter the rho4.0
with alias name that is to be remote-controlled:
Connection : TCP/IP
IP-Address/Alias name : rho40_1
Port number : 6010
In this case, the rho4.0 with the alias name rho40_1 would be remote-
controlled.
