5.1 Configuring the device using the Lika Electronic software tool
EM58 PA encoder with analogue interface is supplied with a software expressly
developed and released by Lika Electronic in order to easily programme and
configure the device. The software tool is compatible with the whole series of
HM- and EM- programmable encoders from Lika Electronic: programmable
encoder with SSI serial output (PS code); programmable encoder with parallel
output (PN and PY codes); programmable encoder with analogue output (PA
code). It allows the operator to set the working parameters of the device and
monitor whether the device is running properly. The program is supplied for free
and can be installed in any PC fitted with a Windows operating system
(Windows XP or later). The communication is established using
RS-232 serial
cable
and
port
.

NOTE
Before starting the program, connect the device to the personal computer
through a serial port. The serial interface of the analogue programmable
encoder is a RS-232 type. Should the personal computer not be equipped with a
serial port, you must install a USB / RS-232 converter, easily available in the
market.
The serial cable must be connected as shown in the “4.7 RS-232 serial
connection” section on page 19.
