1 Preface and general information
The PC system bus adapter is a communication module for data transfer between a target system
(drive controller, Drive PLC, etc.) and a PC via the system bus (CAN). Two types are available:
• The PC system bus adapter 2173 is the classic type. It is connected to the parallel interface
(LPT port/printer connection) of the PC or notebook.
• The PC system bus adapter 2177 can be used for PCs & notebooks with a USB port (Universal
Serial Bus).
This type is recommended for notebooks which do not have a parallel interface for printer
connection.
