Application
The ConfigMate 4590 is a USB communications interface which is used along with the detachable 4501 Programming Display
or the 4511 Digital Communication Enabler to configure or document and backup/ restore configurations of selected PR
electronics’ programmable devices, either standalone in Adaptor Mode or with a PC in Docking Mode.
Docking Mode
• The 4590 can operate as a docking station for the 4501/4511 allowing the 4501/4511 to be connected to a PC through a
USB interface. The PReset software can be used to upload and download the configuration parameters from a 4501/4511
for backup/restore and documentation purposes, on selected 3000, 4000 and 9000 series devices.
Please note:
• For connection to a PC the USB-B to USB-A cable must be used.
• In docking station mode the 4590 will be powered from the PC’s USB power source; no batteries are required.
• The 4501/4511 display will indicate USB line/communication with a very short blink when uploading or downloading
configurations from/to the 4501.
• The selected 3000, 4000 and 9000 device configurations can only be viewed in the Preset software. For installation of
PReset, see the step-by-step guide on page 9.
• After connecting the 4590 to a PC, check installation and allocation of the COM port by opening up “Device Manager” and
locating "4590 ConfigMate". Right-click on the device and select "Proporties", then click on the "Hardware" tab. In the
below example, the 4590 ConfigMate was assigned COM3, however this may change from installation to installation. Take
a note of which COM port is assigned as this is used later in the PReset software.
