First of all, it is necessary to indicate which computer serial port is dedicated to the communication with the
encoder (COM 1, 2, 3 or 4).
Once a port is assigned, the software will automatically start attempting to connect to the encoder in
bidirectional mode. Specifically:
If the serial port is NOT physically present on the computer, the message ‘Selected
Serial port not available’ will appear
If the serial port selected is physically present on the computer, but is not connected
to the processor (or the processor is connected on serial 2, the one indicated as
‘satellite’), the control program will display ‘MonoDirectional Link Mode’. This means
that the program will use this port to unilaterally dispatch commands to the processor
as soon as they are entered by the operator.
If the serial port selected on the computer is present and is connected to the Serial
Port 1, the program will display the message ‘BiDirectional Link Mode’. At the same
time, the processor will display the message Remote PC Host in Control.
