User Guide v.1.0 Siensor UNIC
5. Connecting the LLS to a PC via Siensor UNIC
To connect the LLS to a PC using
Siensor UNIC,
do the following:
1.
Make sure that the
Siensor UNIC
current operating mode corresponds to the interface used by the con-
nected LLS, i.e. the RS-232/RS-485 mode switch (see Fig. 3.1) is in the required position. For example, the
Siensor AF107 LLS uses the RS-485 interface for configuration and therefore the mode switch of
Siensor
UNIC
must be in the RS-485 position. The Siensor D107 LLS can use both RS-232 and RS-485 for configu-
ration and further operation, thus the mode switch position is irrelevant for configuration of this type of sen-
sors.
2.
Connect
Siensor UNIC
to a free USB port of a PC using the cable coming with the device package (see
Fig. 5.1). The red LED must light up on the top of the
Siensor UNIC
housing (power indicator).
