7.3. CONNECTION TO A PC
NOTE!
For the USB connection, use a laptop computer isolated from the ground or a desktop connected
to the same protection earth (PE) as the SSW7000.
The USB connection is electrically isolated from the supply line and from other internal high voltages; however, it
is not isolated from the protection earth (PE)..
NOTE!
Always use a shielded USB cable, “standard host/device shielded USB cable”. Cables without
shield may cause communication erros.
Exemple of cables: Samtec:
USBC-AM-MB-B-B-S-1 (1 meter [3.28 ft]);
USBC-AM-MB-B-B-S-2 (2 meter [6.56 ft]);
USBC-AM-MB-B-B-S-3 (3 meter [9.84 ft]).
To control the SSW7000, and to visualize or program its parameters through a personal computer (PC), it is
necessary to install the SuperDrive G2 in the PC. The SuperDrive G2 can be downloaded from the website
www.weg.net .
Basic procedure for transferring data from the PC to the SSW7000:
1.
Install the SuperDrive G2 software in the PC.
