4. Configuring the MAP450D

The MAP450D has many operating parameters that control how it communicates to the host controller. These operating parameters can be changed in three ways: from the MAP450D’s keyboard when it is in Configuration mode, when the host controller sends a Configuration Control Command, or by downloading a STEPware-100 project. This chapter explains how to connect the MAP450D to a PC so you can download a project from the STEPware-100 configuration software.

4.1. Connecting the MAP450D to a PC

First, remove the operating cable from the terminal block pins. Next, connect an RS-232 serial communications cable (Maple Systems P/N 7431-0048) to the proper COM port on your computer and the terminal block pins on the MAP450D. See Figure 13 below for pin assignments.
