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. The file path is
http://www.hiwinmikro.com.tw/hiwintree/Product_SubType.aspx?type=D2). If the mega-ulink
or CoE communication is used to connect with the drive, it is recommended to adopt the
network card of REALTEK.
(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.
Fig. 5-5
The window for communication setup is shown in Fig. 5-6. 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.
