7.3.1 Communicating via MJ1 Serial Port and MJ3 Port
Start by configuring Cscape to use the correct communications port. This can be done using
the Tools
→
Options
→
Communication Port dialog in Cscape.
Next, connect the PC’s serial port to the port labeled MJ1 on
the EXLW/XLW PRIME. If using
MJ3, then the Default Programming port needs to be set in the controller System Menu.
If communications are successful, the target indicator should show the mode of the controller
Target: yy(R) as shown in the status section above.
If the controller is not communicating, it may be required to set the target ID of the controller
in Cscape or on the unit. The Target ID allows directing communications to a particular unit
when multiple units are connected via a CsCAN network. Units without CsCAN network ports
respond to any network ID and do not require the ID to be configured.
To check or change the ID on the EXLW/XLW PRIME, press the System button to enter the
System Menu. The first item in the menu is Set Network ID.
Pressing Enter allows the ID of the unit to be viewed or modified.
To change the Target ID of Cscape use the Controller
