RF::FSBox hardware

Get your fieldbus simulation running again.

RF::FSBox links real automation hardware with the virtual environment. When it does not behave as expected, the cause can be in the device, the network or the configuration. We help you find it.

Setup and network configuration

Initial setup, IP addresses and integration into your test or engineering network.

PROFINET and PROFIBUS devices

Simulated devices are not found, do not exchange data or show unexpected states.

Firmware and software updates

Checking the installed version and updating the device safely.

Defective hardware

If a device appears to be damaged, open a ticket. We clarify the diagnosis with you and agree on the next steps, including repair or replacement.

Licenses and activation

Keep your licenses working.

Most license issues are solved quickly once we have the license ID and the exact error message.

  • Activating a new licenseFirst activation after purchase or on a new installation.
  • Moving a license to another computerTell us your license ID and we explain the options for your license type.

Question:

How remote support works.

Some issues are easier to solve when we can see the system. A shared session saves long explanations.

Step 1

Get in touch

Call the hotline or open a ticket and describe the issue.

Step 2

Agree on a time

We schedule a session that fits your work and your system availability.

Step 3

Start the session

You start the connection with %%REMOTE_TOOL%% using the code we give you.

Step 4

Solve it together

You see everything we do and can end the session at any time.

Your system, your decision. A remote session only takes place when you start it. Follow your company's IT rules for remote access to engineering or production computers.

Frequently asked questions.

What is the fastest way to get help when production is stopped?
Call the support hotline. For urgent issues, a phone call is faster than a ticket because we can ask questions right away and, if needed, start a remote session.
What information should my request include?
Product and version, a short description of what happened, the error message and log files if available. For RF::FSBox, the serial number and firmware version. The request helper on this page lists everything per topic.
Where can I download installers and updates?
Installers, updates, release notes and documentation are available in the customer portal. You need your customer login to access them.
How does remote support work?
After you contact us, we agree on a time. You start the session yourself using a code we provide. You see everything our support engineer does and can end the session at any time.
My license activation fails. What should I do?
Open a ticket with your license ID, the product version and the exact error message or a screenshot. With this information, most activation issues can be solved quickly.
Can I move my license to another computer?
Contact support with your license ID. We explain the options that apply to your license type and help you move it.
My RF::FSBox seems to be defective. What happens next?
Open a ticket with the serial number, firmware version and a description of the behavior. We first check configuration and network together with you. If the device is defective, we agree on repair or replacement.
How do I get a quote for new licenses or hardware?
Write to our sales team using the “Write to sales” button in the purchase section. Include the tools you are interested in, the number of users and your planned start. The licensing page gives an overview of the available license models.
