Device Configuration
• Wire the inputs and outputs according to the connection diagram.
• If required, set the baud rate (see page 9).
• Set the device address (in a network, make sure that the connected devices have different
addresses).
• Check whether the device is ready for operation: RUN LED is on, FA LED is off.
• Wire the interface or the network.
• Check for proper functioning of the serial communication.
• Configure the device or the network and set the necessary parameters.
Communication Parameters
The following tasks are based on serial communication:
• Setting the parameters using software
• Loading the firmware
• Setting the connections in the network
To make sure that these tasks can rely on smooth data transmission between the PC Software
Tool and the infobox connect device, the characteristics of the communication interface must be
set up correctly.
