Rockwell Automation CS3000 V6.1 MMI FlexPak, GV 3000, Liqui-Flo - Manual (Page 17)

Getting Started 2-3
After creating the program group and icon, the CS3000 software installation is
complete. The installation program automatically exits, and you return to
Windows. You should see a new program group titled “Control and
Configuration.”
Step 6. Remove the CS3000 disk from the 3.5" drive.
The CS3000 software is now installed and ready to use.
If you had an older version of the CS3000 software installed, you can use the
configuration and monitor files you created with that version. To make it easier to use
the existing configuration and monitor files, move them to the working directory of the
new version of software. The working directory is normally C:\CS3000\WORK.
Configuration files typically have file extensions of .CNF; monitor files typically have
.MON file extensions. See the Windows documentation for information about moving
files.
2.3 Setting Up Communication Between the CS3000
Software and the Drive
The following sections describe the setup required for communication between the
CS3000 software and the drive. To enable communication between the CS3000
software and the drive:
• Physically connect the personal computer to the drive through a serial port
connection (see section 2.3.1)
• Set up the drive for communication through a serial port (see section 2.3.2)
• Select the correct communication port on the personal computer (see section
2.3.3)
2.3.1 Connecting the Personal Computer’s Serial Port to the Drive
For the CS3000 software to communicate with the drive, connect the personal
computer to the drive using an appropriate cable by following these instructions:
Step 1. The drive’s RS-232 port typically uses a 9-pin or 25-pin female D-shell
connector. Connect the communication cable’s 9-pin or 25-pin male
connector to the drive. Refer to the drive instruction manual for the location of
the RS-232 port on the drive.
Step 2. Connect the other end of the communication cable to the personal
computer’s COM1 port. If the COM1 port is not available, refer to section
2.3.3 for information about selecting the correct communication port. The
personal computer COM port might have either a 25-pin or a 9-pin connector.
Refer to figures 2.1 through 2.3 for cable connector and pinout signals for
9-pin and 25-pin configurations.
