Transferring logic from PACU into PICED via network

Having everything up and running via networked wiser (except remote access), including managing to edit and transfer widgets INTO the wiser, and changing group address etc on my cbus, I'm now trying to edit my PACU.

But I can't seem to find a way to transfer it's code into PICED via my network. The only options are via C-bus and via Serial port...

Ummm is this right?

Surely there is a way now via a networked PC running PICED/C-gate/toolkit....or is it back to the old serial port?

 

Tell me you are you kidding?

I have the original PICED.

Surely you are joking about the PACU. I don't mean to be too critical but isn't the whole idea of WISER to make easy access to all of the cbus products via a network....

 

If you create a C-Bus project with a Wiser as the connection to C-Bus, you will be able to use C-Gate, and any applications which use C-Gate to connect to that network. If you select this project in PICED, you should be able to transfer projects to and from PAC via C-Bus, but it will be very slow.

 

Thanks Ashleigh

Surely CIS must but be thinking about addressing this....

What is going to happen when XP disappears and something like the PAC USB/COM port driver won't work anymore....I'd love an upgraded IP/networkable PAC. I'd replace my old one tomorrow if there was such an product...

Come to think of it aren't there serial:>ethernet/IP conversion devices out there? I'd buy that instead...now surely something like that exists somewhere!!

 

Check Digi. I know they make several IP to serial gateways. I believe you would need an IP to USB gateway for what you want. I don't believe you can upload programming through the PAC's serial ports.
