8.1.5 Starting the program
If not already connected, connect the RS232 serial link cable between the controller and
the host PC.
Switch the power to the controller on. Launch the dryer application software by either
double clicking the Walker Filtration icon found on the PC desktop or by clicking:
Start > Programs > Walker Filtration > Dryer Application Software
The first time the software is used the
following window will appear.
Choose your preferred language by
clicking the appropriate flag.
With the power to the dryer switched
on the lead connecting the controller to
the PC, double click the Walker
Filtration CD icon on the screen.
This will display the screen below, if the language is not as you require it then click the
appropriate national flag and the next time the application software starts the language
will be in the requested language.
1. Establish communication
Click the “Establish Communication”
switch on the screen this will look for
the link between the PC and the dryer
controller.
The serial number on the software
must match the serial number on the
controller to allow communications to
be established.
If communication cannot be made, a
warning will appear at the bottom of
the screen.
This may be due to the following:
• Poor connections to the controller
• Controller switched off
• Application software/controller serial number mismatch
Once communication has been established, click the “Read dryer” button on the screen
this will then display the default setting from the works or the last setting the Service
Engineer made.
It is possible to change some of the controller settings from the factory default settings
on the screen. This should only be done by a qualified service engineer.
