Can communicate with LinCommand, but no motor movement: Check the LED on the back of the Silverpak 17C. If there is no LED lit, the problem may be the Power Supply, check the connections. If you see one LED that flashes on and off about 5 seconds at a time, then power is OK. - Page 20 After installation, you should be able to view the converter card if you go to Properties of “My Computer” Device Manager Ports. The LED’s on the USB485 converter card only light up during sending and receiving of a command. Lin Engineering Page 20 5/16/2016 Silverpak 17C-CE User Manual Rev 1.11...
