Troubleshooting Potential

Problems

This section provides information about common converter problems and
actions that can be taken to correct them.

Unable to Establish Connection Between the Computer and Converter

• If the 1203-USB converter status indicators are off, connect the converter

cables and apply power to the drive. The converter draws its power from
the drive.

• Configure RSLinx to use the correct virtual COM port and baud rate. See

for the virtual COM port. The only baud rate that works is

115200.

No Communication to the Drive

• When connected to DPI-based drives, verify that converter

Parameter 06 - [Interface Mode] is set to ‘0’ (Auto).

• When connected to DSI-based drives, verify that converter

Parameter 01 - [Adapter Cfg] is set to ‘0’ (Auto).

Cannot Communicate with a SCANport-based Drive

Connected Components Workbench software does not support
SCANport-based devices. Use DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive software
for these devices.
