5.1.2 Communication setup
There are three methods of communicating with the drive: (1) using USB communication, (2) using
mega-ulink communication, and (3) using CoE communication. This section will introduce the former two
methods. As for the last one, refer to the other HIWIN document: “HIWIN CoE Drive User Guide” (log in
HIWIN website and download it. If the mega-ulink or CoE communication is used to connect with the
drive, it is suggested to use network card with the network chip certified by Beckhoff.
Note:
(1) The firmware for previous CoE model (firmware number 0.037) cannot support later EtherCAT model. The
firmware must be updated.
(2) The firmware for previous mega-ulink model (firmware number 0.037) cannot support later EtherCAT model.
This can be solved by using PDL program, please contact HIWIN.
(1) Using USB communication
Before starting Lightening, connect to the drive via USB and turn on the control power. Normally,
Lightening will automatically connect to the drive when it is opened. If not, click “Communication
setup” in the “Tools” option to change the communication setup, as shown in the following figure.
Figure5.1.2.1
The window for communication setup is shown in figure 5.1.2.2. D2 drive supports the USB
communication method. Here, the “BPS” field shows the transmission rate and its default value is
115,200 bps. This value should not be changed. The “Port” field shows the communication port. It will
display the existing PC ports. Select the port actually connected to the drive. Using default values in
remaining fields, Lightening can successfully communicate with the drive.
