■
Danfoss PC software for serial communication
Using serial communication makes it possible to
monitor, program and control one or several units
from a centrally placed computer. All FCM 300
Series have an RS 485 port as standard, which
enables them to communicate e.g. with a PC. A
program entitled VLT
®
Software Dialog is available
for this purpose.
VLT
®
Dialog operates in the familiar Windows
®
for-
mat.
VLT
®
Dialog incorporates three modules on one disk.
The CD includes the Basic, Logging and Template
Modules, as well as operating instructions - all in six
different languages.
