The alternative method: Using the BACS Programmer Windows software
The BACS Programmer software can be used with both, the BACS Webmanager budget as well as the BACS Kit. In addition to the core
function of addressing modules and preparing them for operation, the BACS Programmer software also offers interesting features
helpful for error diagnostic and the detection of individual modules within a very large installation.
Preparation
This software is not a network software, you need to connect the BACS Bus Converter to the COM port of your computer.
Note
Modern laptops often do not provide a native COM port anymore. Before your on-site visit, check if your mobile device provides such a
port. If this is not the case, a suitable adapter cable can be used. Normally, this cable will be connected to the USB port and thus
establish a connection between your computer and the BACS Bus Converter.
This standardized accessory for your computer is usually available from specialist retailers.
Ensure to use the supplied cable, a standard cable may fit to the ports but may have internal differences - the software would
consequently suggest problems caused by an inappropriate cable:
Not every Mini-DIN / Sub D 9 pin cable can be used to communicate with the BACS Bus Converter. Mark your cables to be used to
avoid confusion during maintenance work.
Connecting the BACS Bus Converter
First remove the connection between the CS141 and the BACS Bus Converter. Then connect the COM port of your
computer to the BACS bus converter. The port is labeled on the BACS Bus Converter with From PC RS232 COM
Port.
Note
A BACS Bus Converter requires its own power adapter. A popular mistake
is to forget this when connecting ... As a consequence, the BACS
Programmer will not establish any communication.
Pay attention to possible redundancies when connecting.
