**Pass-through precautions:**

342

343

● The web cannot use the pass-through function for the time being, and it needs to be in the PC client to change the location.

344

345

● When the device is offline, “Start pass-through” cannot be clicked.

346

347

● When the device firmware version is too low, “Start pass-through” cannot be clicked.

348

349

● The current user does not have pass-through rights on this device or this device is shared by others, and “Start pass-through” cannot be clicked.

350

351

● When the current user has a device in pass-through, “Start pass-through” cannot be clicked.

352

353

354

=== **4.1 Device pass-through download (RE)** ===

355

356

The pass-through function allows applications on the computer to download projects to RE device remotely pass-through through Ethernet.

**Steps:**

① Click [[image:Wecon V-BOX R Series User Manual 240611 V1.2_f1b46bca.png||height="16" width="17"]] to enter the pass-through interface.

361

362

② Select the device that needs pass-through, and ensure that the device is online.

363

364

③ Click "Browse" to automatically detect the installed download tools on this machine. The table shows the versions and locations of all installed download tools. (HMI software should be installed in the computer to ensure that HMIEditor and download tools exist at the same time).

365

366

④ Select any HMI download tool configuration in the table, and confirm the selected HMIEditor software through the folder location and corresponding version information.

367

368

⑤ Pass-through is ready → [Start pass-through].

369

370

●Click "Start pass-through" to conduct pass-through according to the specified download tools and selected devices.

371

372

●Click [End pass-through] to end pass-through.

373

374

⑥ After pass-through is successful, pop up the download tool box, select [PC->HMI], select the compiled .wmt3 file, and download the program.

377

378

=== **4.2 Common serial port pass-through (PLC)** ===

379

380

Based on the normal communication between RE device and PLC or other device, PLC is connected according to the generated virtual serial port, allowing the PLC software on the computer to communicate and connect with the PLC, and completing the functions of uploading/downloading PLC programs and monitoring PLC programs.

**Steps:**

① Virtual serial port settings: Click** [Settings]** →**[Virtual Serial Port]**→**[Enable Virtual Serial Port] **→**[Select Serial Port]**. Pay attention to the serial port, please do not reuse it. (When the COM port is changed, if a PLC or other software is connecting to the original COM port, it will be disconnected.)

390

[[image:Wecon V-BOX R Series User Manual 240611 V1.2_353545eb.png||height="339" width="638"]]

391

392

③ Pass-through steps: On the pass-through interface, click [Start pass-through]→after successful pass-through, it will prompt "pass-through succeeded"→[OK].

393

394

[[image:Wecon V-BOX R Series User Manual 240611 V1.2_5b5ad7dd.png||height="339" width="638"]]

395

396

④ After the pass-through is successful, the indicator light of the corresponding RE device on the PC will turn blue, and the [current status] will become pass-through, indicating that the device is in the "pass-through" status.

397

398

✎**Note:** Do not click [End pass-through], otherwise you will exit the pass-through function.

⑤End pass-through: When the PLC software completes the remote operation, select [End pass-through]→Prompt "End pass-through successfully"→[OK], at this time the device will automatically restart. After the restart is completed, the working status before pass-through will be restored.

403

404

[[image:Wecon V-BOX R Series User Manual 240611 V1.2_c6ec3cf0.png||height="337" width="638"]]

405

406

**Pass-through Precautions:**

407

408

① In the process of PLC software remote access, the pass-through serial port of the RE device needs to maintain a normal communication state, and the network state needs to remain stable.

409

410

② When the device is in the pass-through, COM indicator light will be in the off status. When the device ends the pass-through, it will automatically restart.

411

412

③ The parameters of the PLC connection need to be consistent with the parameters generated by the virtual serial port.

413

414

④ It is necessary to ensure that the PLC serial port of pass-through can support the upload/download function, otherwise the remote pass-through function cannot be realized.

415

416

=== **4.3 VPN pass-through (PLC)** ===

417

418

**VPN pass-through:** The pass-through function allows the application program on the computer to directly control the PLC device through the RE device, upload/download PLC programs, monitor PLC programs or other configuration information, etc.

**Steps:**

① Click [VPN pass-through] [[image:1723450415577-521.png]]→Select the device that requires pass-through →[Local pass-through IP]→[Automatic acquisition/manual setting]→[Manual setting] 192.168.40.23 (Manual IP setting needs to ensure that it is on the same network segment as the RE device and device IP)→[Start pass-through]→Prompt "Pass-through succeeded"→[OK].

423

424

[[image:Wecon V-BOX R Series User Manual 240611 V1.2_a4500d0f.png||height="335" width="638"]]

425

426

② After pass-through is successful, the indicator light of the corresponding RE device on the PC will turn yellow, and [current status] will become in the VPN pass-through, indicating that the device is in the "pass-through" status. (**Note:** You cannot click [End pass-through], otherwise you will exit the pass-through.)

427

428

③ After the pass-through is successful, a virtual network card will be generated. You can check whether the IP is generated through the network card of the computer, as shown below.

429

430

[[image:Wecon V-BOX R Series User Manual 240611 V1.2_a53a8121.png||height="336" width="638"]]

431

432

④ When PLC software completes the remote operation, select [End pass-through]→Prompt "End VPN pass through successfully"→[OK], at this time the device will automatically restart, and after the restart is completed, the working status before pass-through will be restored.

433

434

435

436

**Pass-through precautions:**

437

438

① The Ethernet port IP of RE device, the IP used by the VPN pass-through, and the IP of the PLC must be kept in the same network segment without conflict.

439

440

② The IP connected to the PLC needs to be consistent with the IP of the PLC itself.

441

442

③ When the device ends the pass-through function, RE device will automatically restart.

443

444

④ If the VPN pass-through is unsuccessful, please refer to the "Frequently Asked Questions of Wecon VPN pass-through Tools" for troubleshooting.
