Communication with PC
When a motor controller is present, the A2110E
Controller is provided with RS-485 port to connect
to a USB port on a PC with optional communication
cable. With this arrangement, many parameters can
be set and read by the host computer.
Quick Start Instructions for Connecting with PC
1. Put the 554M CD into the CD-ROM.
2. Connect the A1925E4 communication cable
between the RS-485 port on the back of the
A2110E controller and an open USB slot on the
PC.
3. The PC should open an "Install Hardware" wizard
automatically when the cable is connected to the
USB slot. If it does not, go to the Control Panel
and select "Add Hardware" to start the wizard.
4. When prompted, check the box to search
removable media for the proper driver. The
wizard should fi nd the driver on the 554M
CD and install the USB driver. It may prompt
that the driver has not been validated; select
"continue anyway" to continue the installation.
After this it will repeat the installation process
for the RS-485 converter.
5. Copy the controller software to the PC. The
software is located on the CD at: "Software\
ParrCom.exe".
6. Once copied to the PC, open the ParrCom.exe
fi le. No installation is necessary.
7. At the main ParrCom program screen, select
"protocol >> set PC". Ensure that the following
values are set:
Baud: 9600
Data length: 8
Parity: even
Stop bit: 1
ASCII: RTU
Click OK to return to the main screen.
8. At the main screen, select "Program >> Monitor".
The Monitor screen will come up. There will be
a generic icon on the left, and four mini screens
on the right. Use one mini screen to connect to
the A2110E Controller.
9. In the fi rst mini screen, select 1 for the Address,
and click Connect. It should connect to the
digital display on the A2110E Controller, and
the bottom half of the screen should show
parameters for the controller. These may be
modifi ed here.
