Rockwell Automation 2706-MB1 MESSAGEVIEW 421 SOFTWARE MANUAL - Manual (Page 24)

2–7 Installing MessageBuilder Software
Publication 2706-817
The INTERCHANGE Device Configuration Utility configures
communication drivers that the computer will use to transfer
applications. It allows you to:
•
view active communication drivers
•
select and configure a communication driver
•
edit a communication driver
•
remove a communication driver
•
access advanced driver parameters.
This utility automatically updates the file CFG_KT.INI when drivers
are added, configured and removed.
If you intend to transfer applications using an RS-232, DH–485 or
Pass-Through connection you must first configure the appropriate
drivers. MessageView uses only RS-232. However other
Allen-Bradley products such as PanelView 900 might use other
communication drivers.
Access the INTERCHANGE Device Configuration Utility in one of
three ways:
•
automatically as the final step in the MessageBuilder installation.
•
as a separate icon in the MessageBuilder Group icon
Note: If Interchange was installed via another programming
software, such as AB PanelBuilder, the Interchange icon will be
found in that software’s group.
•
through the Workstation Setup command in the MessageBuilder
File menu.
