6.1 CompactController
After switching on and a short initialisation process, specific changes can be made to
the CompactController and the axes to be controlled using the system parameters de-
scribed in the reference manual.
After setting all axis-related control parameters, the drives can be moved manually us-
ing the keyboard on the Controller.
6.2 Operating
system
update
Prior to updating the operating system, switch off the power circuits for
the drives controlled by the CompactController.
If new operating system software is to be installed on the CompactController (e.g.
available on the Internet at
), use the tool provided for this purpose:
LingiMon
.
To install LingiMon, start the program
LingiMonSetup.exe
on the CD or simply
click the related menu command in the CD autorun program.
The application will now be installed in the usual manner for Windows (it is possible
to change the folders to suit specific needs).
If LingiMon has already been installed, the previous version will first be unin-
stalled by the installation routine:
Confirm uninstall
“Do you really want to remove the selected application and all its components?”
LingiMonSetup must then be started again for a new installation.
After installation start the program either via the Windows Start menu or by using
the left mouse button to double-click a binary file with the extension ‘.h86’ or ‘.b86’
in Windows-Explorer.
Using a null modem cable establish a connection between the PC (RS 232 C:
COM1/2) and the CompactController (connector C1).
In the program select the COM port used (to be set via the connector icon).
The transmission rate is set to 57,600 baud by default. If problems occur during
the data transfer, first the transmission rate should be reduced in steps to the
minimum value of 9,600 baud (to be set via the connector icon).
Other communication parameters: 8 data bits, even parity, 1 stop bit, no control
