4.7. Connecting the ARCNET cable between PLC and terminal
This section may only be carried out if you want to use a terminal.
Please use a coaxial cable with a characteristic impedance of 93Ω. At both cable ends a terminating resistor of
93Ω has to be installed (refer to documentation 907 AC 1131 part 1, ARCNET descriptions). Connect this cable
to the corresponding connectors.
4.8. Connecting the programming cable to the terminal and the PC
This section may only be carried out if you want to use a terminal.
The programming cable VB30 connects the terminal MT45 to the PC. The 25-pole plug of this cable has to be
connected to X2 of the MT45. The other cable end has to be connected to the serial interface of the PC (e.g.
COM2). (See documentation SAE device manual).
4.9. Copying the example program for the terminal
This section may only be carried out if you want to use a terminal.
First, the terminal has to be prepared for the data transfer as follows:
• Press the keys ENTER <à
àà
à> and ESC <//> simultaneously.
• The following menu inquiries appear which have to be confirmed with ENTER <à
àà
à>:
- Language – English: <ENTER>
- Password: 00000 <ENTER>
- Change password – NO: <ENTER>
- Input of date/time: <ENTER>
- Texts/system programming: - Set the required baud rate by pressing the Cursor key <up>
(e.g. 57600/8/1/E; this setting must be equal to the setting
for the transfer rate in SPSPlus Win.)
- Confirm with <ENTER>
Now the terminal is ready for programming.
(See documentation SAE device manual).
After this, start the programming software SPSPlus Win on the PC and perform the following steps:
• Open the file Barcodeleser_MT45Arcnet.MDB by selecting the menu item <File><Open>.
• First activate the code generator by selecting the menu item <Project><Transfer>. Press <NO> if
the question "Möchten Sie die statischen Texte als Bitmap erstellen?" is displayed.
• The program code is generated and the message "Das Projekt wurde erfolgreich generiert" is
displayed. Confirm with <OK>.
• The download window is opened. In the tab "Übertragung" set the interface and the baud rate (in
our example COM2 and 57600 baud) and confirm the settings with <OK>.
• Now the message "Möchten Sie das System auch herunterladen?" is displayed. The first time this
message is displayed confirm it with <YES> because the selected system settings also have to be
transferred. If you did not change the system settings you can later answer this question with <NO>.
• Now the program is transferred to the terminal.
– With the message "Download erfolgreich beendet" SPSPlus Win signalizes the successful data
transfer. Confirm this message with <OK> to return to the programming interface.
– After a successful download the terminal performs a self test and changes automatically into the
PLC mode. After that the message "Fehler 300 Kommunikationsfehler" is displayed. Ignore this
message at the moment.
