Determining the Virtual COM Port (VCP)
The MD-CC30x-001 uses a Virtual COM Port to communicate through the USB port to the MDrive. A VCP is a
software driven serial port which emulates a hardware port in Windows.
The drivers for the MD-CC30x-001 will automatically assign a VCP to the device during installation. The VCP
port number will be needed when IMS Terminal is set up in order that IMS Terminal will know where to find and
communicate with your IMS Product.
To locate the Virtual COM Port.
1) Right-Click the “My Computer” Icon and select “Properties”.
2) Browse to the Hardware Tab (Figure D.9), Click the Button labeled “Device Manager”.
3) Look in the heading “Ports (COM & LPT)” IMS USB to SPI Converter Cable (COMx) will be listed
(Figure D.10). The COM # will be the Virtual COM Port connected. You will enter this number into
your IMS SPI Motor Interface Configuration.
