Confirm the RS-232C COM port number of the PC connected to the master module, and click the corresponding [Connect COM ?] button. If the connection is normal, the name and version of the module will be displayed immediately, and the checkbox on the left side will be activated. If this does not occur, the connection will not be established correctly.
Check to determine that the wiring and connection of the cable has been done correctly, that the type of master module is correct, and that power is being supplied.
There may also be connection problems in the event that another project window is opened, or if it is already connected to another channel of BD52x. In these cases, save the project, turn SyCon off and on, and retry.
When the connection is made successfully, check it by clicking the checkbox and click [OK] button. |
