I have a Pi 3 running Raspian Jessie Trying to connect an HMI application (AdvancedHMI - VB - .net running using mono) to a PLC (Velocio) via Modbus RTU. The PLC can handle direct USB comm input (works on a Windows PC) The AdvancedHMI applications have been proven to run fine on RPi using mono
The difficulty is this: The AHMI app allows me to configure its comm driver to 'talk' via any named com port. On the PC, this works via USB as "COM1" (or 2, etc.)
My question is, how do I "name" one of the USB ports on the Pi so that I can call it from the AHMI application?
Using info found elsewhere in this forum, this is what I have.
