Before you can use VS Utilities, you have to install it onthe hard disk of your computer. After installing thesoftware, start VS Utilities using the Windows Startmenu or the VS Utilities icon on your Windows desktop.

Chapter 3

2 Connect your computer to a product.

Use a module and required cable(s) to connect yourcomputer to a product (see tables 2.1 and 2.2).

If you are connecting to an SP600 drive or other DPIproduct using a RECOMM-232 serial converter, and thatproduct has an installed DeviceNet, ControlNet, orEthernet module, you will be able to connect to otherDPI products on that respective network usingVS Utilities.

Chapter 2


14/36


3 Configure your communications port.

By default, VS Utilities is configured to communicateusing:- Communications port 1- 9600 baud rate- BCC checksum- 4-second time-out- 5-second control time-out

If these settings are not compatible with the settings inyour module, select Explore > ConfigureCommunication. If you are connected directly to anEthernet module, select the Ethernet radio button.

Otherwise, select the serial radio button and then selectthe desired settings in the Configure CommunicationPort dialog box.

OnlineHelp

4 Connect to a product

You must connect to a product to establishcommunications between the computer and the product.There are three types of connections:

A Local connection establishes point-to-pointcommunications with the product physically

connected to your computer. A Network connection establishes communications

with one or more products on a network.

A direct Ethernet connection establishescommunications with one or more nodes on anEthernet network.

Select Explore > Connect > Serial Point-to-Point orExplore > Connect > Serial Network or Explore >Connect > Ethernet to connect to a product.
