Specifications

Communication

Do not use "255", and do not change the port setting (must always

be 50000).

3 Close the connection.

4 Connect the E-517 to the Ethernet card in the PC using the

included, special, cross-over cable ("point-to-point" connection). If

you connect the E-517 to a free access point (e.g. to a hub) on a

network to which the PC is connected, use the straight-through

network cable.

5 Power-cycle the E-517.

6 Use the "Search for controllers" functionality, described in

"Network

with DHCP Server"

(p. 48), to establish the connection between PC

and the E-517.

4.4 RS-232 Serial Connection

The serial communications port is accessed via the sub-D 9m "RS-232"

connector

(p. 71) on the front panel of the E-517. Use the included

null-modem cable to connect the E-517 to the host PC; if the PC has only

one COM port, it is probably COM 1.

The serial port on the E-517 is preset to the following parameters:

115,200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, RTS/CTS

In the connection dialog of the host software (e.g. PIMikroMove™,

PITerminal or LabView drivers), you make the settings on the host PC side.

Select the correct PC COM port and make sure that the baud rate (and

other settings) in the dialog match those of the E-517. Otherwise no

communication can be established.
