Note:
For the installation of the software you need administrator authorization on the
target computer.
Several applications running in parallel, reduce the performance and operability.
Especially customer applications, exchanging standard system components
(drivers) in order to improve their own performance, may have a strong influence
on the communication performance or even render normal use impossible.
Operation under virtual machines such as Vware Workstation 6/ MS Virtual PC is
not possible.
Onboard graphics card solutions reduce the system performance by up to 20%
and cannot be recommended.
Operation with notebooks in current-saving mode may lead, in individual cases,
to communication problems.
Your PC is connected with Compax3 via a RS232 cable (
SSK1
(see on page
Cable
SSK1
(see on page 394) (COM 1/2-interface on the PC to X10 on the
Compax3 or via adapter SSK32/20 on programming interface of Compax3H).
Start the Compax3 ServoManager and make the setting for the selected interface
in the "
Options Communication settings RS232/RS485..."
menu.
In the menu tree under device selection you can read the device type of the
connected device (Online Device Identification) or select a device type (Device
Selection Wizard).
Then you can double click on "Configuration" to start the configuration wizard. The
wizard will lead you through all input windows of the configuration.
