80486 based processor (Pentium preferred)
1 megabyte of memory
At least one UART hardware-based serial communications port available.
USB-based virtual UART systems (USB to serial port adapters) often do not
function reliably, especially during binary file transfers, such as when
uploading/downloading configuration files or module firmware upgrades.
4.1.2 The Configuration/Debug Menu
The Configuration and Debug menu for this module is arranged as a tree
structure, with the Main Menu at the top of the tree, and one or more sub-menus
for each menu command. The first menu you see when you connect to the
module is the Main menu.
Because this is a text-based menu system, you enter commands by typing the
command letter from your computer keyboard in the diagnostic window in
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB). The module does not respond to mouse
movements or clicks. The command executes as soon as you press the
command letter — you do not need to press [E
NTER ]. When you type a command
letter, a new screen will be displayed in your terminal application.
Using the Diagnostic Window in ProSoft Configuration Builder
To connect to the module’s Configuration/Debug serial port,
1 Start PCB, and then select the module to test. Click the right mouse button to
open a shortcut menu.
