5.1. Installation and communication
The human-machine interface (HMI) for D2-series drives is called Lightening. Through the
connection between PC and the drive by using the mini USB, it can perform functions of
initialization, configuration, operation, test runs, parameters saving, and so on. This section
describes how to install Lightening and communicate with the drive.
5.1.1. Setup files
Files in the Lightening setup folder are shown in Fig. 5-1, included an auto execution file
“setup.exe”, a firmware folder “dce”, and so on.

If using the installation CD, simply wait for the setup program to run automatically. If using
setup files downloaded from HIWIN website (after log in HIWIN website, the file path is “http://
www.hiwinmikro.tw/hiwintree/Product_SubType.aspx?type=D2”), unzip the downloaded file
and execute “setup.exe”. The default installation path is “C:\HIWIN\”. Do not try to change this
path. The installation window is given in Fig. 5-2. Click the “Start” button to run the automated
installation procedure. After this procedure is completed, the message window of Fig. 5-3
appears to show that the software installation is ended successfully.
