Connecting a PC
WARNING!
Do not connect the PC directly to the control panel connector of the control unit
as this can cause damage.
A PC (with eg, the Drive composer PC tool) can be connected as follows:
1. Connect a ACS-AP-… or ACH-AP-… control panel to the unit either
• by inserting the control panel into the panel holder or platform, or
• by using an Ethernet (eg, Cat 5e) networking cable.
2. Remove the USB connector cover on the front of the control panel.
3. Connect an USB cable (Type A to Type Mini-B) between the USB connector on the
control panel (3a) and a free USB port on the PC (3b).
4. The panel will display an indication whenever the connection is active.
5. See the documentation of the PC tool for setup instructions.
