Application Procedure Application Procedure This section explains how to connect a PLC CPU Unit to a personal computer with a USB-Serial Conversion Cable. Use the procedure below when connecting a PLC CPU Unit and personal computer. The Conversion Cable uses one of the computer's COM ports for communications.
Cable Connections Cable Connections Connecting the Cable Connect the computer and CPU Unit with one of the cable configurations shown in the USB to PLC/PT Connection Tables on page 22.
Installing the Drivers Installing the Drivers When the USB-Serial Conversion Cable is connected to the computer, the operating system (OS) will recognize the Cable as a new device. At this point, the driver can be installed with the wizard. The actual driver installation method depends on the OS being used. Windows 2000 is used in the examples in this section. Note The USB-Serial Conversion Cables are compatible with Windows XP.
Installing the Drivers 3. Select Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended) and click the Next button. The following window will be displayed. Select Specify a location and click the Next button. The following window will be displayed. 4. Insert the CD-ROM containing the driver (the CD-ROM is in the same package as the Conversion Cable) into the computer's CD-ROM drive. Click the Browse button, select the ftdibus.inf file, from the following directory of the CD-ROM and click the OK button.
Installing the Drivers 6. The following window will be displayed if the driver was installed properly. Click the Finish button. 7. When the Finish button is clicked in step 6, the following window will be displayed for installation of the USB Serial Port driver. Follow the same procedure in steps 1 through 7 to install the USB Serial Port driver. (Driver installation is completed after installation of the USB Serial Port driver.) 8.
Installing the Drivers Verify that these two devices appear in the Device Manager.
Uninstalling the Drivers Uninstalling the Drivers Use the following procedure to delete (uninstall) the drivers for the USB-Serial Conversion Cable. 1. Disconnect the Conversion Cable from the computer. 2. Select Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel. 3. Select OMRON USB-to-Serial Converter Drivers and click the Delete button. The following window will be displayed. 4. Click the Continue button.
Connecting Online from the CX-Programmer Connecting Online from the CX-Programmer The USB-Serial Conversion Cable uses one of the computer's COM ports to communicate. The communications port (COM port) allocated to the Conversion Cable must be selected with the CX-Programmer in order to connect online to a PLC or PT. Note: It may take some time for the computer to detect the cable after the cable is connected. This is not a malfunction.
Connecting Online from the CX-Programmer 4. Locate the Port Name setting and select the COM port being used by the Conversion Cable. Note If you fail to connect with this USB Cable, turn OFF auto baud rate detection if it is being used by your software. With the CX-Programmer, auto baud rate detection can be turned OFF by clearing the selection for it on the Network Settings dialog box.
Connecting Online from the CX-Programmer █ Changing the Allocated Communications Port The communications port (COM port) being used by the Conversion Cable can be changed with the following procedure. The actual change procedure depends on the operating system. This example shows the procedure for Windows 2000. Note If the new COM port is being used by another driver, that driver must be uninstalled. 1. Double-click OMRON CS1W-CIF3* USB Serial Port (COM@) in the Device Manager window. 2.
Connecting Online from the CX-Programmer 3. Click the Advanced button. The following window will be displayed. 4. Select the new COM port number from the COM Port Number list. 5. Click the OK button to change the COM port used by the Conversion Cable.
Using More than One Conversion Cable Using More than One Conversion Cable The operating system recognizes USB-Serial Conversion Cables individually. If a second Conversion Cable is connected after the driver has been installed, driver installation will be requested again. Install the driver from the CD-ROM again. If you do not own the CD-ROM and will use more than one Conversion Cable, copy the win2000_XP folder from the CD-ROM to a folder on your hard disk, and select this folder.
