Setting Up
Communications
in a DriveTools32
Application

Before a DriveTools32 application can communicate with a drive, you must
configure the application.

Important: DriveTools32 can support only one type of serial connection at a
communications port at a time. If you have previously configured a serial
connection to a 1395 drive, click Delete in the Communications Setup dialog
box to delete that configuration. You must then restart the DriveTools32
application.

To configure the DriveTools32 application, you need to:

1.

Start the DriveTools32 application.

2.

In the Options menu, select Communication Setup. The Communication
Setup
dialog box appears.

3.

Click the Serial tab.

4.

Under Connect Type, select RS-232/RS-485 SCANport Point-to-Point.

5.

In the Enter INTERCHANGE Port Mapping # field, type the number of
the KT:0 port used by the DF1 driver in the RSLinx Configure Client
Applications
dialog box.

Important: To view the KT port number used by the DF1 driver, select
Configure Client Applications in the RSLinx Communications menu.
