The installation procedure will have created an entry in the ‘Programs’
list off the ‘Start’ menu.

The software bases its communication system on the RS-485 format. It
is necessary to convert that format at the access port of the control
computer. The converter will create a virtual COM port on the computer
that the software will detect automatically.

The basic connection uses an RS-485 to USB converter; the
recommended device is the kksystems (

) RS-485 to

www.kksystem.com

USB converter (refer to the installation and operation manual for more
details).

Easy to install the
device works as a
virtual COM port and
allows daisy chaining
multiple units. From
the PC to the first unit,
from this one to the
second, etc.
When running the
software for the first
time, make sure that all
windows are active. Go
to the view menu and
activate all of them.

On the tools menu
select the COM port
number that uses the
installed converter to
allow communication
with the devices
(cabinets). Baud rate
must be 57600!!
Besides this, the user
can select getting the
parameters from the
units (retrieve settings)
or send the settings to
the units from the
computer or ask the
user everytime the
system goes on-line.
