SOFTWARE SETUP
ACC-72EX supports multiple protocols, and setting up each protocol can be a bit different, as described
in the protocol specific documentation provided by Hilscher. In this section, most of the generic steps are
covered with the help of examples and screenshots.
Required Software Packages
Two software packages are required for setting up ACC-72EX:
1.
SYCON.NET (V1.310.x.x or newer), available through Hilscher’s website.
2.
ACC-72EX Setup Assistant Software.
Both software packages have to be installed on the PC used for initial setup of the system and
commissioning of the machine. Notice that neither of these software packages is required after the initial
setup and the unit can work as a standalone setup.
SyCon.NET Software Setup
SYCON.net is a tool for the configuration of Fieldbus and Real-Time Ethernet systems. It is based on the
standardized FDT / DTM technology. Online diagnostic indicators and auto-scan function for the reading
of network participants assist in the commissioning of the network. SYCON.NET is provided with the
gateway module under license from Hilscher Corporation.
With the power off, plug the ACC-72EX into the UBUS backplane and turn on the power to the UMAC
rack. Connect the diagnostic port to a USB port on the PC using a micro-USB type cable.
Launch the SYCON.NET software on the PC.
