Installing the USB Port Driver
The USB port is only used for firmware updates. USB driver files are provided as part of
upgrade packages compatible with the PROFINET Scanner.
With the provided installation files accessible on either a local or network drive, connect the
computer's USB port to the VersaMax PROFINET Scanner's USB port. When requested, direct
the installation to the proper location of the installation files.
The serial port name is COM followed by the next available number from 1 to 256. After the
computer assigns the USB port a COM port number, that computer uses the same COM port
number each time it connects to that Scanner module.
During firmware upgrades, Winloader will display the COM port name followed by the serial
number of the PROFINET Scanner as shown on the right power supply slot. For example:
In this example, Winloader shows that COM3 is a VersaMax PROFINET IO Scanner with serial
number C609488.
Note: When connecting the USB cable to the PROFINET Scanner, you may receive a warning
for installing a driver that has not passed Windows Logo testing. Because each Scanner
has a different serial number, the operating system recognizes each driver installation as
different.
