Connecting to the PC using RS-232

• Locate your computer within 8 feet of the drive.
• If you have a CANopen drive, you still need to connect to the RS232 port on your PC to configure the drive and download Q Programs, if necessary. Once configuration is complete, refer to the CANopen Manual for information on using your CANopen drive.
• If you have an Ethernet drive, this port is not used. All communcation uses the RJ45 Ethernet connector.
• Your drive was shipped with a communication cable. Plug the large end into the serial port of your PC and the small end into the PC/MMI jack on your drive. Secure the cable to the PC with the screws on the sides.

Never connect a drive to a telephone circuit. It uses the same connectors and cords as telephones and modems, but the voltages are not compatible.

If your PC does not have a serial port, you should purchase a "USB Serial Converter". For more information, please consult your hardware manual.
