Hot Keys:

The setup function configures the communications between the PC running DriveWizard

™ and

the drive. There are 2 methods of connecting to the drive:

1. Serial

Communications: This method connects DriveWizard

™ to the drive through a PC

COM port. The serial communications can be RS 232C, RS422, or RS485 with baud
rates of 9600 bps or 19,200 bps. The RS232C can be an existing port on the PC or
through a USB to serial adapter connected to the PC’s USB port.

2.

Ethernet: This method connects to the drive with a CMO9x option card through an

Ethernet network communications adapter on the PC.


A set up window is used to configure the communication method and settings to properly
connect the PC running DriveWizard

™ to the drive (Figure 4.27). If the configuration is not set

correctly for your situation, DriveWizard

™ will not be able to connect to the drive.
