Run the program. If it is unable to immediately establish an bidirectional connection with the processor, (as indicated by
the display message ‘Remote data not Available’), a screen such as the following will appear:
Click the ‘Setup’ key, and the following screen will appear:
First of all, it is necessary to indicate which computer serial port
is dedicated to the communication with the encoder
(COM 1, 2, 3 or 4).
Once a port is assigned, the software will automatically start attempting to connect to the encoder in bidirectional mode.
Specifically:
If the serial port is NOT physically present on the computer, the message ‘Selected Serial port
not available’ will appear
If the serial port selected is physically present on the computer, but is not connected to the
processor (or the processor is connected on serial 2, the one indicated as ‘satellite’), the control
program will display ‘MonoDirectional Link Mode’. This means that the program will use this
port to unilaterally dispatch commands to the processor as soon as they are entered by the
operator.
If the serial port selected on the computer is present and is connected to the Serial Port 1, the
program will display the message ‘BiDirectional Link Mode’. At the same time, the processor
will display the message Remote PC Host in Control.
NOTE: the program will automatically attempt the connection each time you run the SETUP screen.
