Determining The Virtual Com Port Number; Installing Baldor Spi Interface - Baldor DSM S Series Installation Manual

4. When Windows finds the required VCP driver files, a dialog will warn that they have not
passed 'Windows Logo testing'. This is normal for the parameter setup cable's VCP driver,
so click Continue Anyway to continue with the installation.
5. When the Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard message appears, click Finish.
A final Found New Hardware message will appear on the task bar to inform you that the
hardware is now ready to use.
Note: If the MotiFlex e100 is later connected to a different USB port on the host computer,
Windows may report that it has found new hardware. Either install the driver files
again for the new USB port, or connect the MotiFlex e100 to the original USB port
where it will be recognized in the usual way.

5.1.4 Determining the virtual COM port number

The parameter setup cable's virtual COM port appears as a normal COM (serial) port in
Windows, and is automatically allocated a COM port number. The Baldor SPI Interface software
normally auto-detects the motor regardless of the allocated COM port. If for any reason the
Baldor SPI Interface software fails to auto-detect the motor (section 5.2.1), it may be necessary
to manually select this COM port.
1. In Windows, right-click the My Computer icon and choose Properties.
2. Choose the Hardware tab and click Device Manager.
3. Expand the Ports (COM & LPT) item.
4. Look for the entry named Baldor USB to SPI Parameter Setup Cable (COM...). The value that
appears after COM is the port number. Make a note of this number.

5.1.5 Installing Baldor SPI Interface

You will need to install the Baldor SPI Interface software to configure the DSM.
1. Insert the CD into the drive.
2. After a few seconds the setup wizard should start automatically. If the setup wizard does not
appear, select Run... from the Windows Start menu and type
d:\Baldor_SPI_Interface.exe
where d represents the drive letter of the CD device.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. The setup Wizard will copy the files
to appropriate folders on the hard drive.
