Communicating with NextMove BX
In order to communicate with NextMove BX, a RS232 or RS485 connection must be made to an AT
style personal computer. The Baldor Motion Toolkit CD supports the following operating systems
only: Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT version 4.
The RS232 or RS485 cable is used to connect the controller to a computer for programming and
system commissioning. A computer is not essential for operation of the controller, but is required
for programming. A standard serial cable should be used or built according to the wiring diagram in
section 3.8. An RS232 cable is available (order code CBL001-501).
Please note that the RS232 specification is a 'standard' that varies from manufacturer to
manufacturer and therefore not all RS232 cables will work with the controller.
