Activation of the PC-ATL connection 

To operate the remote control program, it is essential the PC and ATL can communicate by serial interface.  
The connection can be realized in different ways, since the ATL is provided with two independent serial 
interfaces: 
 

RS-232 direct connection 

  Connect the ATL and the PC using the Lovato cable code 51C2 

  Can be used to quickly connect the device during commissioning / maintenance 

  It is possible to connect only one device at a time 

 
 

RS-485 connection 

  Connect the Rs-232/Rs-485 converter to the PC using cable 51C4.  

  Connect all ATL RS-485 interface terminals in parallel with the twisted-pair cable and then to the 

interface converter, as shown in the following wiring diagram. Make sure the polarity is correct ( A and B 
terminals). 

  We strongly recommend to use an interface converter supplied by Lovato. If the user wants to use an 

interface converter of another brand, we will not able to help with wiring, nor to assure that the 
communication will work properly. However, the interface converter must be insulated and have an 
automatic enable line control circuit. 

  In case you have connected more than one device, from the front keyboard of each device, enter  the 

Function setup and set one different RS-485 serial address for each ATL, starting from address 01. Make 
sure that the PC speed an parity settings match the ATL RS-485 setting.

Modem connection 

Using the remote control it is also possible to achieve connection from a remote location, using a couple of 
modems. Modems can be of standard type or GSM, and can be connected on the RS-232 or RS-485 port. 
See the I106IGB1002 document on the original CD for more details about modem connection. 
When working with modems, both the PC software and the ATL must be set to work with modbus® ASCII 
protocol.  See the Configuration-options chapter and the Function setup parameters on the operating manual 
of the ATL.
