4. Software Configurator

Thyristor configurator software is free and is Thyristor configurator software is free and is

possible download it from our site.

If the Order Code is in line with requirement,

then unit has been already configured in

Factory and it’s ready to use.

You need the software only to modify the

ordered configuration. Anyway, we suggest

to check the unit on the machine with the

“Test unit” section.

For install the software, launch the program

and follow the instructions on the screen.

Run the software configurator and set the

correct serial port number by menu setting ->

Serial Port -> port number.

To connect the unit at the PC, it’s necessary to

use the micro USB 2.0 Modbus RTU cable.

USB connection need a driver to work properly,

you can find it from our site.

However the configuration software installer will

install as default the correct driver.
