Setting up RS-232 Point-to-Point Serial Communications for a 1395 Drive 4-3
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 SCANport-compatible drive, click Delete in the
Communications Setup dialog box to delete that configuration. You must then
restart the application.
To configure a 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 To 1395 Drive using a converter.
5. In the Enter Serial Communication Port field, type the serial
communications port number that is being used on your computer.
6. In the Enter The Port Baud Rate field, type the baud rate that your
communications port and 1300-ITSSC communications module are using.
You can choose either 2400 or 4800 baud.
7. In the DTR Pulse Delay (0 to calculate automatically) field, type 0.
Important: If the transmission of your computer is too fast for the 1300-ITSSC
adapter, you will have to increase the value for DTR Pulse Delay. Start at 4000
and increase the value by increments of 1000 until communications work.
