When a Setup Tool, such as CX-Thermo version 4.00 or later (EST2-2C-MV4
or later), is used, the personal computer and Digital Controller can be con-
nected using infrared communications. Using infrared communications
enables the personal computer and Digital Controller to be connected from
the front panel while ensuring a dust-tight and drip-tight structure. Use a USB-
Infrared Conversion Cable, and connect it to the USB port at the personal
computer. Infrared communications are supported only for the E5AN-H and
E5EN-H. The infrared communications port and the Setup Tool port cannot be
used at the same time.
For information concerning the models that can be used with the CX-Thermo,
contact your OMRON sales representatives.
Use the following procedure to connect the Digital Controller to the personal
computer using the USB-Infrared Conversion Cable. The USB-Infrared Con-
version Cable is used to communicate with the COM port on the personal
computer. To perform communications using the USB-Infrared Conversion
Cable, set the communications port (COM port) number to be used for the
Setup Tool (such as CX-Thermo) to the COM port assigned to the Cable.
1. Connecting the USB-Infrared Conversion Cable to the Personal Computer
Connect the USB-Infrared Conversion Cable to the USB port on the per-
sonal computer.
2. Install the driver
Install the driver to enable the USB-Infrared Conversion Cable to be used
with the personal computer.
• Installation
When the Cable is connected with the personal computer, the OS will
detect is as a new device. At this time, install the driver using the installa-
tion wizard. For details on installation methods, refer to the Instruction
Sheet and Setup Manual for the E58-CIFIR USB-Infrared Conversion
Cable.
3. Enabling Digital Controller Infrared Communications
Mount the Digital Controller to the panel and wire it. Turn ON the power
supply for the Digital Controller, go to the adjustment level, and set the In-
frared Communications Use parameter to ON. When this parameter is set
to ON, the Ir indicator on the front panel of the Digital Controller will light.
This enables connecting to a personal computer using infrared communi-
cations.
