4.6.1 Procedure for using the Indusoft bundled driver

Step 1: Read the basic and important documents

Readme.txt: contains the basic and important information, including:

•Files on the shipped CD

Reversion.txt: contains the reversion information, including

•Bugs fixed

•New modules supported

Step 2: Install the Indusoft bundled driver by executing

CD:\Napdos\Driver\DCON_Indusoft\Setup\setup.exe

Step 3: Read the manuals describing how to start

The DCON.pdf user’s manual describes how to use the Indusoft bundled driver

Step 4: Run the demo programs (ICPDriverTest.zip) to test I/O modules and learn the functions

4.6.2 Indusoft Example (Reading an analog input value)

The following is an example of reading analog values from an I-87017 inserted in slot 0 of an 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8.

Step 1: Wire the 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8 and configure its network settings (IP, Mask, Gateway)

Step 2: Run the VxComm Utility to create a virtual COM port (e.g. COM3) to map the 8430/8830/8KE4/8KE8
