8.3.3. Connecting to a PC
Optidrive P2 may be connected to a PC with Microsoft Windows operating system to allow use of the Optitools Studio PC software
for commissioning and monitoring. There are two possible methods of connection as follows:
Wired Connection. Requires the optional PC connection kit OPT-2-USB485-OBUS which provides a USB to RS485 serial port
conversion and premanufactured RJ45 connection.
Bluetooth Wireless Connection. Requires the optional Optistick OPT-3-STICK. The PC must have Bluetooth onboard or a suitable
Bluetooth dongle which can support a Bluetooth serial connection.
With either communication method, the steps to establish a connection between the PC and drive are as follows:
Download and install the Optitools Studio PC software to the PC.
Start the software, and select the Parameter Editor function.
If the drive address has been changed in parameter P5-01, ensure that in the Optitools Studio software the Network Scan Limit
setting in the lower left corner of the screen is set to the same or higher value.
In Optitools Studio select Tools > Communication Type.
o If using the Optistick, Select BlueTooth.
o If using the wired PC connection kit, select RS485.
In Optitools Studio select Tools > Select COM Port > Select the COM port associated with the connection.
Click the Scan Drive Network button in the lower left corner of the screen.
