Q: How to install the HASP key driver manually?
(2007-06-12)
The first step is to check, whether any HASP key driver is installed – and to uninstall it. For this purpose, simply open the console window (Start -> Run: cmd).
In the console window change the directory to the one, where the asix package is installed, and run the HASP key driver installer with the command: Hinstall –r, which will uninstall the installed driver or display an error message, if the driver was not installed.
The next step is to replace the HASP key support programs - Hinstall.exe and haspds_windows.dll in the asix package directory (note: in the asix package version 2.xx, only the first of those files is present) with files downloaded from our website (-> About asix -> Downloads -> Software).
When the files are replaced, run the installer in the console window.
Hinstall –i
If a key of specific type is used in the computer, it is recommended to use an option declaring the key type:
Hinstall –i –ks=USB for USB key or
Hinstall –i –ks=Parallel for printer port key.
Q: Data read in the MODBUS channel have incorrect values, different than the ones viewed in the controller programming tool. Why?
(2007-06-12)
There are several reasons for such a situation: The most important are: missing reconciliation of transmission parameters on the side of the master and slave (transmission speed, number of data bytes, etc.), use of incorrect variable addressing method (always check the register addressing method in the hardware manufacturer‘s documentation). Another reason may be an address inadequate for the register recording format applied in PLC (Intel or Motorola format).
Q: No communication on the Modubus channel on TCPIP after connecting a subsequent data source; asix as Master. Why does it happen?
(2007-06-12)
The MODBUS_TCPIP driver requires a port number, IP address and node number in Modbus network must be given for each channel,. Usually, the designers do not declare a correct Modbus network node number, misled by the fact that the nodes are identified by their IP address. However, a node address is necessary and must be unique.
Q: After the replacement of a computer and migration of asix application, the HASP protection key is not found. Why?
(2007-06-11)
The most common reason for such a situation is the incorrect version of the HASP protection key driver for the new operating system (usually MS Windows XP). To fix this flaw, download the new HASP key driver (-> About Asix -> Downloads -> Software) and install it.
