4.4 Installing the Development Software
This overview of the software installation process is supplied to assist
your planning. Complete documentation is provided in the software kit.
Substitute the paths and parameters used in your Borland development
environment wherever applicable.
4.4.1
Default Parameters
The development software is supplied with two default parameters for
downloading to your BM85. One parameter specifies how to access your
SA85ā/āSM85 driver (the default specifies software interrupt vector 5C).
The other parameter is the Modbus Plus node address of the target
BM85 unit for downloading (the default is node address 4).
If your SA85ā/āSM85 driver and BM85 are set to these parameters, your
installation will be easier because you can bypass part of the setup (see
Steps 6 and 7 below).
4.4.2
Installation Steps
1. If you have already installed the SA85ā/āSM85 Modbus Plus adapter
and its driver, and have edited your CONFIG.SYS file to include a
DEVICE command with driver parameters, you can skip this step.
If you have not installed your adapter and driver, then you should do
so now, before proceeding with the BM85 software installation.
Follow the instructions in the guidebook supplied with your adapter.
Part of the adapter installation procedure requires you to specify a
software interrupt vector, or to accept the default vector 5C. If you
specify a vector other than the default, make a note of the vector.
You will need this information when you install the BM85 software.
2. Ensure that your Borland Cā/āC++ software is installed on your
computer and is specified in your PATH command. For example, if
the compiler's executable files are in C:ā\āBORLANDCā\āBIN then your
PATH command should specify this path.
3. Create a working directory for your BM85 development files, and
copy the entire contents of your BM85 development disk into this
directory. A suggested name for the new directory is: C:ā\āMBCP.
