351

**Pass-through precautions:**

352

353

● 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.

354

355

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

356

357

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

358

359

● 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.

360

361

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

362

363

364

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

365

366

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.

371

372

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

373

374

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).

375

376

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

377

378

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

379

380

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

381

382

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

383

384

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

387

388

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

389

390

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.)

395

396

[[image:Wecon V-BOX R Series User Manual 240611 V1.2_54a850e2.png||height="136" width="639"]]

397

398

② Remote download configuration: Click [PLC pass-through ][[image:Wecon V-BOX R Series User Manual 240611 V1.2_cfc415e2.png||height="14" width="15"]] →Select the device that requires pass-through→[New/Edit]→[New Template] Configure pass-through parameters: [Name], [Communication Port], [Connection Method], [Baud Rate], [Stop Bit], [Data Bit], [Check Bit], the configured parameters need to be consistent with the PLC serial port parameters →[OK]→Prompt "Add successfully!"→[OK].

399

400

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

401

402

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

403

404

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

405

406

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.

407

408

✎**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.

413

414

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

415

416

**Pass-through Precautions:**

417

418

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.

419

420

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.

421

422

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

423

424

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.

425

426

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

427

428

**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].

433

434

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

435

436

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.)

437

438

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.

439

440

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

441

442

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.

443

444

445

446

**Pass-through precautions:**

447

448

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.
