Establishing front port communication
When a PC is used to download settings and configuration, you need the terminal tool-
box CAP 535 (including CAP 531 and PST) or CAP 540 in the PC.
A special cable is needed when connecting a PC to the front of the REx 5xx terminal.
This cable can be ordered from ABB Automation Products AB. It must be plugged into
the optical contact on the left side of the local HMI. The other end of the cable shall be
plugged directly into the COM-port on the PC. The cable includes an optical contact,
an opto/electrical converter and an electrical cable with a standard 9-pole D-sub con-
tact. This ensures a disturbance-free and safe communication with the terminal.
When communicating from a PC, the slave number and baud rate (communication
speed) settings must be equal in the PC-program and in the REx 5xx terminal.
Procedure
1.
Plug the cable to the optical contact on the local HMI.
2.
Plug the other end of the cable to the COM port of the PC.
3.
Set the slave number and baud rate in the terminal.
The slave number and baud rate settings in the REx 5xx terminal
is done on the local HMI at:
Configuration/TerminalCom/SPACom/Front
4.
Set the slave number and baud rate in the PC-program.
The slave number and baud rate must be the same as in the termi-
nal.
Establishing rear port communication
Settings can be performed via any of the optical ports at the rear of the REx 5xx termi-
nal. When a PC is connected to the SMS system, the CAP 535 and the PST softwares
are used. Settings can also be done via the SCS system, based on MicroLIBRARY.
