Laptop Computer Running Pccu32; Local Pccu Connections; Figure 13: Rs-232 Local Communication Cable - ABB XSeriesG4 User Manual

Laptop computer running PCCU32

PCCU32 software running in a laptop Windows environment offers the most capabilities for programming the XRC
Windows environment features user-friendly help files and easy to follow menus. Easy to follow menus and icons step the user
through many required choices.
The laptop computer connects via the cable directly to the connector on the side of the XRC
has been made, the laptop may begin communicating through the software.
NOTE: Connecting to the G4 meters with PCCU32 will require version 7.05.5 or later.
Making a local connection to the meter may be accomplished one of two ways:

Local connections are made using the RS-232 PCCU cable with the round military connector on one end, and a serial
port connector on the other.

The local connection may be made using a USB cable.

Local PCCU connections

RS-232 serial cable
The local connection (serial military connector) requires an RS-232 serial port on the host computer (generally a laptop). A
PCCU cable (2015240-xxx) is required to connect the host computer to the meter's round military connector, see Figure 13.
Connecting the PCCU cable to the meter will cause an annunciator in the LCD to display an upper case letter L for local
connect.
NOTE: The G4 meter must be ordered to include USB communication capability. A change over kit may be
purchased to adapt the G4 for serial communication capability.
USB connection cable
The local USB connection requires the use of a USB cable (see Figure 14) connected to the host computer, generally a laptop.
A USB PCCU cable (1801800-xxx) is required to connect the host computer to the meter's client connector. Connecting the
PCCU cable to the meter will cause an annunciator in the LCD to display an upper case letter L for local connect.
