5. Working with E@syDrive

5.1 Software and installation

In the main directory of the CD-ROM there is the file LIESMICH.TXT resp. README.TXT. In this
file there are actual information and remarks about the software and the version-history.
The necessary programs will be installed automatically after inserting the CD-ROM into the CD-
ROM-drive. If not, the installation can be started with the SETUP-command. The program,
E@syDrives, KFM-LOAD and KFMxx.xx then will be installed automatically. More advice is given
in the setup-Program. Before every write-access this program also demands a confirmation and
can be aborted at every time.
Remarks for Installation:
The recommended directories should be taken, in other case problems can occur: E@syDrives
can't find subdirectories or files and the de-installation can't be performed exactly.
The actual programs for the KFM05A also can be found in the internet under „www.sieiareg.de
/service". Under "www.sieiareg.de" there is the actual information about the KFM05A and other
products of SIEI-AREG.

5.2 Connection and interface

For the connection between KFM05A and PC a cable with at least 3 lines (RxD, TxD and GND)
must be used (see chapter 3.1.8).
ATTENTION !
Before connecting PC - KFM05A switch off both devices to avoid damaging the interface by
potential differences, ground loops or electrostatics. For a better security for PC and KFM05A use
commercial contact separators. SIEI-AREG GmbH order No.: 751 000-013.
If there are problems with the communication between Drive and PC, the setting of the "Device
Link Manager" should be checked (see picture below). This menu can be reached with button
„Target", then „Communication settings", then click "Properties" in the window of the "Device Link
Manager".
With the button
be enabled or disabled.
The „Communication setup" has to be
checked if the connection can't be enabled
with button in spite of a correct
connection line.
Remark:
Before commissioning read the file "README.TXT". There are actual remarks, that couldn't be
considered in this documentation.
