Serial Converter for use with DPI AC Drives

4.3

Using VS Utilities to Configure the Serial
Converter

With VS Utilities software, you can edit parameters in both the serial
converter and the connected product. On a DPI product (for
example, a SP600 drive), you can also edit parameters in any of the
attached peripherals.

This section is designed to help users start using VS Utilities. If you
are unsure how to complete a step, refer to the online help (select
Help > Help Topics).

Step 1. Select Explore > Configure Communication. Select the

communications port and baud rate that you are using.
Select either checksum and accept the default time for the
time-out.

Step 2. Select Explore > Connect > Local. A node appears

under Devices.

Step 3. In the left pane, click the + signs to expand the tree. Click

the product or serial converter to display parameters in the
right pane. Double-click a parameter to edit it.
