Telematics / Re: Remote Access Gateway Solution
« Last post by Lukey on August 18, 2025, 01:33:10 AM »I did end up getting this to work, it required testing with a lot of different hardware but I landed on a robust working configuration
My initial solution using a 4G Ewon Cosy with the USB to IP feature and a CG-150 worked however with a few caveats.
- The USB connection was slow, only good for monitoring, not downloading programs.
- The CG-150 was not automatically detect on the USB port, it needed to be plug into the Ewon every time after the VPN connection was made to be detected.
- The service tool did allowed me to view pages and parameters but there was not able to download new program, however the latency was so large that i was not able to download a program to a controller, the connection would fault on time out latency.
The working solution was a Teltonika RTU241 and Kvaser Ethercan Light HS (EAN: 73-30130-00713-0)
I could have used the 4G Ewon Cosy instead of the Teltonika TRU241 however I went with the latter as it has eSIM capabilities, it has Built in WiFi and was cheaper.
Using the Kvaser Ethercan was ultimately the most important hardware selection, this keep the latency to a low level and therefor the service tool did not detect any issues and did not fault.
I was able to download to a DM1200 a full program (80mbs) without issue.
Having the WiFi is also important as this allows the Plus+1 device to be connected to remotely or connecting to the Wifi of the RTU241, therefor that makes the module suitable for all fixed or mobile applications, all you need is a computer and you can connect to the system locally or remotely, no need to plug in once looking at the machine locally.

Communication / Re: ISOBus
« Last post by ToPe on August 14, 2025, 03:37:23 PM »Hi All,
I want to inform you that PLUS+1 Controller talks ISOBUS (soon).
Danfoss has developed a new product variant of the XL104 controller, which is listed in the AEF database and has been certified as ISOBUS-capable software for reuse and software testing.
The Danfoss XL104 controller was selected as the first one to start with for ISOBUS communication, but our intention is to propagate this to other controllers in the future.
The XL104 controller was expanded with an ISOBUS-stack, which enables standardized communication between the tractor and the implement via ISOBUS.
For the Plus 1 GUIDE ISOBUS communication we offer two options:
ISOBUS Basic Option includes the support for Virtual Terminal (VT) and the Auxiliary Control (AUX-N).
ISOBUS Advanced Option includes the same support as Basic Option but the Task Controller (TC) elements in addition.
The Plus 1 Guide Software Package for ISOBUS supports 2 different design tools.
The Iso designer from Jetter, and the vt designer from OSB.
Via these tools you design screens, so called masks, with inputs and output elements that get shared basically with implements and the other way around, where an implement would typically send data to the display.
To allow a GUIDE application to communicate with Virtual Terminal, Auxiliary Implements and Task Controller over an Isobus network, Danfoss provides an Isobus Guide Interface Software Package which includes multiple compiled code package files (CCP).
CCP files contain C code that implement functions to be used in an application.
For more technical information around ISOBUS or if you are interested to receive the PLUS+1 GUIDE Software Package for ISOBUS to start with your first ISOBUS project with Danfoss, please reach out to the Helpdesk Team.

License / Re: New License Model
« Last post by G30RG3 on August 08, 2025, 04:31:25 PM »Great, replacing "something that worked, maybe not great, but at least it worked" by "something that seems to hang with a new version of update center but isn't tested fully".
It seems as Upd. Center is started, it tries to open a web page that fails to load, which stalls all progress.
License manager opens and closes fast, if I try this manually to check the status of my account.

PLUS+1 GUIDE / Compilation Error 448
« Last post by mattz on August 06, 2025, 05:19:23 PM »I am somewhat new to Plus+1. I received a project file, that I am trying to make a change too. So I did not create a project/program from scratch. I have taken the Fundamentals and Advanced trainings, but it was several years ago. I made a small change to the program and I want to test it on a real world device. I have made the change and (attempted to) compile the program. Under the "Error/Warning/Hint Messages" the compiler says "COMPLETE - No specific issues identified". However, the compiler message is giving me the error seen below, and I am not getting a downloadable plus1 file in my project folder to load into the ECU. Has anyone seen this? I am not ruling out an IT related measure that is preventing this from completing, since I have run into that already too. Any help would be appreciated.

« Last post by BRIan on August 05, 2025, 03:55:07 AM »I've used a mini PC without a screen. CG150 connected. AnyDesk to connect and operate (uses a password). You can add a VPN if you think necessary. Use local Wi-Fi or a 4G stick. You can get the PC to start up if supply is applied but you could get the operator to power up the Mini PC as I see this as a good safety precaution, especially if you are manipulating parameters.

« Last post by sverreo on August 04, 2025, 07:52:24 AM »We use a VPN tunnel with ethernet/WiFi connection to DM1000 or CS10. This works really well for downloads and logging, but obviously there is more latency than a direct connection.
Tosibox.com have 4G modules that are easy to use.
I've been looking for a solution were we can use USB/CG150 in cases without Interlink avalilability, so please update this post if you get there

Telematics / Remote Access Gateway Solution
« Last post by Lukey on August 02, 2025, 10:01:48 AM »Curious if anyone has a DIY solution for mobile/4G remote access to connect to a device with the Service Tool?
Previously I used the CS500 for connection remotely to a device with the Service Tool, this worked as intended and the price was reasonable.
Now that the CS500 is discontinued the recommended alternative is the Proemion product, however pricing I have received for the hardware and the subsequent subscription/token for the data/connection is outright ridiculous and not a viable solution in my opinion, especially in a fleet situation, there is no reduction in costs for the Proemion subscription/token the more you have, unlike the Danfoss Connect where you could have multiple devices, Proemion want to charge you for each 'connect portal' the full amount each regardless how many devices are being used, all i want is access to the service tool, i don't require their portal and logging features.
My DIY solution is the use of a 4G Ewon Cosy (This is a remote gateway that creates a VPN), with the enabling of the USB over IP feature of the Ewon I can then plug the CG-150 to the USB port of the Ewon and connect the CG-150 to the Danfoss CAN device, the link can be seen made on the Service Tool, I have tested this working.
(Perks of the Ewon is the price and basic/free subscription that has enough features for my use case, so the only ongoing cost is a 4G Mobile Data plan)
Initial testing of the solution I found that the Service Tool link was 'slow' with the status alternating from Connected to Disconnected, the CAN status LED on the CG-150 was flickering slow and the Log period status 'Feedback' was registering very high 800-1000 range.
Some obvious latency happening here, I can ready values and make changes to parameters in the Service Tool program, however I don't think I would be able to push a new program to a controller with this amount of latency/lag, I haven't tested that part yet.
I figure to combat this I could adjust some of teh settings in the Service Tool > Communication (tab) > Manage Protocols, in particular KPW2000_STMin and AddTimeOut
Thoughts?
