USBv4 The isPro USBv4 is the successor of isPro USBx12. It is compatible with the isPro USBx12. The isPro USBv4 is optionally available with an isFF/PA MAU media access converter, with which it can be connected to a PROFIBUS PA network.
Installation and commissioning Installation of the driver software The driver software must be installed before connecting the device. Otherwise, the operating system can not find the interface to the associated driver. The driver software delivered with our PROFIBUS interfaces permits the access to the PROFIBUS-Firmware under the operating systems Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, 8 and 10 (32- und 64-Bit).
Installation of the hardware The Interface can be connected to the PROFIBUS network with its While initializing or resetting the left LED flashes in red colour. D-Sub connector directly. With the USB cable the interface can be After the end of the initialization/reset process it should darken connected with the PC/notebook.

Connection to an existing PA bus The adapter enables you to connect to an existing PA-Network via the signal lines PA+ and PA–. Connection of a single field device If you want to connect a single PROFIBUS PA Field device to the isPro USBv4 interface, the adapter for the bus offers another pin to supply the field device.
Configuration and Commissioning To ease the task of hardware configuration the configuration software isPro Configurator is provided. It is installed in the Start Menu. This simple dialog based program allows the easy addition and removal of the isPro interfaces. It also checks the available resources of the system.
3.3.1 Add a device Please press the button “Add”, choose the device type you would like to add. Press OK, then make your settings. The USB interface possesses a serial number for clear identifica- tion. The number is located on the bottom of the case and stored internally.
3.3.2 Add an Empty Slot The empty device does not contain any resources. It serves as a substitute for device numbers not assigned. Using this devices enables a free enumeration of devices by inserting empty devices between the real ones.
3.3.3 Removal of a device Mark the device you wish to remove and press the button “Remove”. You can then remove the device from the USB port. isPro Init Test The driver software contains the program isPro Init Test to check the correct operation and installation of the driver software of the isPro interface.
isPlorer The included demo program isPlorer enables the client to take first measures with the software. The program checks the opera- tion of the PROFIBUS interface and the correct installation of the driver software. Before starting the program, the device has to be added to the configuration program isPro Configurator (see chapter „3.3 Con- figuration and Commissioning“...
