SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Insert the supplied CD into the PC. The PC should
automatically start the software install of the pro-
grams. The installation program will guide you through
the software setup process. If the PC does not auto-
matically start the software installation, manually start
the software installation according to the following
steps:
• Open Windows Explorer.
• From the software CD, run "setup.exe".
DEVICENET NETWORK INSTALLATION
For wiring the DeviceNet network to the Power Wave,
see the document "DeviceNet Cabling Planning and
Installation manual", Allen Bradley Publication DN-
6.7.2. This document can be downloaded from the
Allen Bradley web site. Connect the Power Wave to
the Network using a female ʻsealed-miniʼ style con-
nector. Avoid routing the DeviceNet control cables in
close proximity to the welding output leads. DeviceNet
scanners typically require setup through the use of a
configuration tool. Consult the scanner documentation
concerning steps to configure the DeviceNet scanner.
Some DeviceNet scanners require an EDS (Electronic
Data Sheet) file to properly communicate with the
device. The EDS files for the Power Wave are located
on the CD that was shipped with the Kit module. To
find the correct EDS file to install, go to the DeviceNet
Configuration screen in Observer (complete sections:
Connecting PC to Power Wave and Devicenet
Software Settings ). The bottom left of the Power
Wave Observer application window lists the Product
Code and Vendor Revision. Based on these settings,
pick the appropriate EDS file. See table 1 for more
information on which EDS file to use. Note that the
product code that the gateway reports back is based
on software that is loaded into the control board.

• Configure the DeviceNet scanner to the Power
Wave.
• Verify that the DeviceNet scanner recognizes the
Power Wave.
ETHERNET CABLE INSTALLATION
For wiring the Ethernet network to the Power Wave,
use STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to make con-
nections from the Power Wave to the rest of the
Network. The cable should be cat3, cat4, or cat5 com-
patible. If UTP (Unshielded twisted Pair) cable is to be
used, the cable should be placed in conduit to avoid
electromagnetic interference. The Power Wave uses
standard 10BaseT cable pin outs and length specifica-
tions. Avoid routing the Ethernet cables in close prox-
imity to the welding output leads.
CONNECT PC TO POWER WAVE FOR
SETUP
With a standard 9-pin to 25-pin RS232 serial cable
(Radio Shack cat no. 26-269), make a connection with
the Power Wave and a PC. Turn on the Power Wave.
Verify that no other applications are using the serial
port. This includes PDA Hotsync-type Applications.
DEVICENET SOFTWARE SETTINGS
With the PC connected to the Power Wave, from the
Windows taskbar click Start > Programs > Lincoln
Electric > Power Wave Utilities > DeviceNet Observer.
Select the appropriate communication port and click
OK.
