17.1.1 SELECTING THE PC SERIAL PORT
First of all, it is necessary to indicate which computer serial port is dedicated to the communication with the processor (COM 1, 2, 3, 4 to 8). Once a port is assigned, click ‘Connect’ buton to attempt the connection to the processor.
-If the serial port selected is physically present on the computer but is not connected to the processor, the control program will display ‘Remote Data not Available’. This means that the program is unable to connect to the processor.
-If the serial port is NOT physically present on the computer, the message ‘Selected Serial port not available’ will appear just below the display screen.
NOTE: the program tests the connection mode each time you access the Setup screen. However, the ‘Connect’ button allows You to try to connect the target at any time.
If link fails, some Setup or connection element may be wrong. A troubleshooting guide is provided
