Configuration and Addressing 

4.1

Preparations

Danger of electrical shock!

Disconnect all poles of the power from the supply voltage before opening the case.

1.

Unscrew two screws from the case cover.

2.

Remove the case cover and pull off the ground conductor.

 

Danger of electrical shock!

The supply voltage of the control electronics remains present during configuration and ad-

dressing. 

Operate the slide switch only with a totally insulated tool.

When using the slide switch, make sure that the PC board is not damaged.

4.2

Overview for Parameter Settings

Note

The "HC8XINIT.EXE" and "SETHC8X.EXE" programs serve for the configuration and para-

meter setting of the HC8X heat control. The software is not completely described and in-

tended only for trained personnel.

Steps for configuration and addressing:

Establish the communication between the measuring system PC and the HC8X.

Configuration and parameter setting of the HC8X with the "HC8XINIT.EXE (MS-DOS)" 

and "SETHC8X.EXE (Windows)" utility programs

4.3

Parameter Setting with HC8XINIT.EXE under MS-DOS

Control unit damage!

Modifications of the factory configuration and parameter setting can damage the control 

unit.

Determine all nominal values of the controlled system before all parameter modifica-

tions.

Parameter setting prerequisites:

Connection between the measuring system PC and the HC8X

The HC8X operates in "Prog" mode. 

4.3.1

"HC8XINIT.EXE" DOS Option Window

Because of the interface administration, HC8XINIT.EXE works only on DOS-compatible PCs.

Start the program by entering 

hc8xinit

 without any other parameters.

 The HC8X replies with the DOS Options window.

The "HC8XINIT.EXE" DOS Options window contains information concerning configuration 

and parameter setting, for example, COM port, baud rate, etc. (see Fig. 4-1).
