Printing (Uploading) Data
from the Drive Overview
The data from the drive; such as drive setup, parameters, variables, trend data,
fault masks, alarm queues etc., can be uploaded and saved into laptop using
HyperTerminal program. When using the HyperTerminal program to upload the
data, you will be prompted to select a file to store this data. Therefore, you need
to open an empty Notepad file and then save that file on your pc before
uploading the data from the drive. The following example illustrates the method
to create an empty .txt file (example1.txt) and upload (or print) the data from
drive into laptop.
Required:
• Laptop with Windows HyperTerminal program
• A null-modem cable with a 9-pin female connector for the laptop serial
port, and a 9-pin male connector for the ACB Printer Port ( J11). (
A serial
cable with pins 2-3 swapped at one end will also work)
Here is a typical pin out of a complete null-modem cable. Essentially, only 3 pins
(2, 3 and 5) are all that is required.
