WIZ107SR Occasional Lost Data (Serial -> TCP)

Hello,

We have been using the WIZ107SR (and WIZ108SR) for quite some time and are have been quite happy with it. We are using it in a control panel with switches, encoders, LEDs and LCDs for a bidirectional data link to a host computer.

Unfortunately, we have received a report from a customer that is experiencing occasional lost bytes.

Here is a sample of the data exchange between the serial side and the ethernet side of the WIZ107SR. Each line is a separate TCP Packet:

Serial → Ethernet 80 00 0d f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 04 01 0d f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 02 02 b4 00 ef 1f 00 01 f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 02 03 b5 01 ee 1e 01 00 f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 01 02 b7 08 01 00 31 20 30 30 30 31 f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 02 02 b4 20 ef 3f 00 01 f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 02 03 b5 21 ee 3e 01 00 f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 01 02 b7 28 01 00 31 20 30 30 30 31 f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 02 02 b4 40 ef 5f 00 01 f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 02 03 b5 41 ee 5e 01 00 f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 01 02 b7 48 01 00 31 20 30 30 30 31 f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 02 02 b4 60 ef 7f 00 01 f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 02 03 b5 61 ee 7e 01 00 f7
Ethernet → Serial f0 15 31 01 02 b7 68 01 00 31 20 30 30 30 31 f7
Serial → Ethernet 80 0c f7
Serial → Ethernet 80 00 0b f7
Serial → Ethernet 80 00 0a f7

Looking on the serial side, the data coming into the serial side of the WIZ107SR is:
Serial → Ethernet 80 [color=#FF0000]00[/color] 0c f7
Serial → Ethernet 80 00 0b f7
Serial → Ethernet 80 00 0a f7

The byte 00 highlighted in red is missing from the TCP packet.
This does nor occur if I do not send Ethernet → Serial data.
This issue occurs on multiple WIZ107SR modules.

I am using:
WIZ107SR Rev 1.1
Firmware 2.20
TCP Server Mode
Debug Message Output disabled
Baud Rate = 115200
Data bits = 8
Parity = odd
Stop bits = 1
Flow Control = none
Timer = 10
Size = 0
Character = F7 (this is the end of our command, we use this to trigger new TCP packet)
Inactivity Timer = 0

Is there anything we can do to prevent this behavior from occurring?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I’m so sorry to answer late.
Data loss problem is very difficult to analyse the reason.

Do you use the converter USB to UART?
Is the loss data same value in every case?
