  1. Tried all these, no luck. Defaults, different com port, other type, tried another SIM from different provider, the SIM we started with works fine on the older modem. Ah, this is something I hadn't thought about. Thought about sniffer cable but don't have one on hand. I tried to use info screen serial monitor to see what goes on between devices, but never got there fast enough to see anything besides an error reply after some waiting (adding delay to code didn't occur to me until I got home). The location is bit far so can't easily test things, but I'll try to get someone bring the modem to me so I can try manual initialization. Think I'll do this to eliminate any simple error I just can't see. Then will try to replace modem with BGS2T. Thanks for your suggestions! --mika
  2. We are using MC52i for sending alert SMSs and they been working nearly without hitch for few years, but something in latest installation is causing odd problems. I can initialize the modem as PLC side via Visilogic just fine (using MC55i/BGS2T strings, those are the only ones that work), but the Com initialize never succeeds. I also tried TC35 strings for Com init which also fail but work in other locations for this model (IIRC MC52i is successor for TC35). Next I tried to change COM port, just in case there was something wrong with that, but no luck with that either. Then I started paying extra attention to SI82 for modem status and that showed value of 19, which should be possible only for SI83. Not sure what "checks: slots timeout" even means... They happened to have old TC35 on site that I tried as replacement and it fell in place without problems so cable seems fine. Got a replacement MC52i a week later but that fails similarly. v570 has latest firmware in it and Visilogic used is 9.7.9b2. The latest firmware for modem was released in 2010 so I expect that we have same version on all them (all installed during past three years). Kinda running out of ideas of what to try next with this one, any suggestions are welcomed. I have one BGS2T for testing that I might try as replacement next as the TC35 temporarily installed is needed elsewhere soon, but would be nice to understand what is causing this trouble.
  3. Should have added that I asked because the download link appears to be dead. I'm getting "Files are no longer available" response. Can you enable the link again or if the new version is coming in few days I can wait for it.
  4. Could I also try that DLL? Got same or similar problem on Windows 8.1 Update 1 where opening Send SMS block fails with 2006 error. Although I'm also getting 440 Automation error after that before Visilogic exits. Did reinstall as well and after checking other blocks, only Send SMS seems to cause crash.
