With the dedicated software which can be downloaded from the EKO website and optional communication cable for 

converter setting, configurations can be changed. 

 

1.  Software Installation

 

1) 

Download the latest version 

“SensConf.zip” file [compressed file: Zip format] from the MS-60S product 

page on EKO website. 

2) 

When the 

“SensConf.zip” file is opened, “SensConf.exe” file [program file] is decompressed. 

3) 

Move the file to the appropriate folder. 

 

2. Hardware Preparation 

Once the software is installed, connect the devices necessary for configuring. 

After software installation, connect the USB connector of “RS485 / USB conversion cable” to PC, and clamp 

the MS-60S output cable terminal with the crocodile clip on the other end of the cable. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Change of setting contents

 

Here describes how to change the configurations such as MS-60S output range and sensitivity. 

First, install the software and connect the devices and PC with 

“RS485/USB conversion cable”. 

1) 

Start the software by clicking the 

“SensConf.exe” 

2) 

After  the  software  is  start-up, 

“COM  Setting”  window  opens.    [1]  Select the  port number  for  the  USB 

connected with RS485/USB conversion cable from the 

“Port” pulldown list,    [2] select the combination of 

baud rate [2400/4800/9600/19200/38400/115200] and parity check [None/Even/Odd] from the pulldown 

list, and [3] enter the MS-60S address in the 

“Modbus Address”, then finally press the “OK” button. 

Modbus address is the last 2 digits of the product serial number.    If the last 2 digits are 

“00”, the address 

will be 

“100”.
