Port Settings
First setup the Expert software to ‘talk to’ the pc communication port that is connected.
From the Main Menu select Options / Network Communication Properties/Modus to view the
port settings.
First and Last scan ID
- define the Modbus ID the software will start and stop scanning. In the
example above only ID 1 will be scanned. The default drive Modbus ID is 1. This setting will
have to be hanged accordingly if an ID other than 1 is assigned to the drive.
Response Timeout
- The Expert software will ‘time out’ if a response is not received from the
drive within this time. (default 500 ms)
Retry Attempts
- If a time out or other communications error occurs the software will attempt to
send the same message, this sets the number of retry attempts.
Communications Port Name-
This is the serial communication port number, if the PC has an
RS232 port it is typically COM1 or COM2, if a USB converter is used the port number is typically
3-6, find the COM port number from the PC Device Manger screen see Communication
between PC and Tritex above.
Baud Rate-
The default baud rate of the drive is 19200. This setting and the drive setting must
be the same. The Software does not attempt to make an ‘auto’ baud rate connection. If the drive
setting is unknown different baud rates can be tried by changing this parameter.
Parity Stop Bits and Extra frame delay
are set Even, One and 0 and must be left at this setting
to communicate with the drive.
The Expert software saves the comport settings so as long as the same communication port is
in used this step can be skipped in future online sessions.
