8.5.2 Infrared interface
The infrared interface allows the industrial
controller to be configured and operated us -
ing the TROVIS-VIEW software. It can be ac-
cessed from the front of the controller. It is lo-
cated above the SAMSON logo (see
Fig. 6-1).
Further information on configuration and op -
eration using the TROVIS-VIEW software is
available in
u
EB 6661.
An infrared interface is required for data
transmission between the serial RS-232 port
of the computer and the infrared interface on
the controller (see Fig. 6-2).
A bracket ensures that the adapter is
properly aligned in front of the controller.
The infra-red adapter can be connected to
the USB port of the computer using the USB
to RS-232 adapter. A driver must be
installed to use the adapter (see Annex B).
Î
Proceed as described in
u
EB 6661 .
The infrared adapter is only necessary for
computers with a COM port (RS-232).
Î
To ensure data transmission functions
properly, place the infrared adapter so
that the distance to the infrared interface
does not exceed 0.7 m and that the max.
angle 25° is kept (see Fig. 6-2).
8.5.3 RS-232/USB interface
board
Upgrading the controller with the optional
RS-232/USB interface board (see Annex B)
allows data transmission over the RJ-12 jack
or over the USB port. In addition, a memory
pen (see Annex B) can be inserted into the
RJ-12 jack.
