If communications are successful, the message line should show “USB (COM8)” for this
example, and an (R) should follow the Target number. For more information on the status bar,
see the status section in this chapter, Section 15.3.
Local ID and Target ID Match
If the controller is not communicating, you may need to set the target ID of the controller in
Cscape or on the unit. The Target ID allows directing communications to a particular unit
when multiple units are connected via a CsCAN network. Units without CsCAN network ports
respond to any network ID and do not require the ID to be configured.
15.4.1 Communicating via MJ1 Serial Port
If a serial programming connection is to be used and the PC has a 9-pin serial COM port,
which is increasingly rare, there is nothing to install assuming the port already works. All that
is needed is a programming cable to go from the COM port to the OCS programming port.
If a serial programming connection is to be used and the PC does not have a COM port, a USB-
to-Serial adapter may be used. Horner offers the HE500USB600 USB-to-RS232 Serial
Adapter, which comes as part of the HE-XCK and HE-CPK programming kits. Drivers for it are
normally found automatically by the Windows operating system as long as an internet
connection is established. Otherwise, the drivers may be loaded from the Horner FTP site at
https://hornerautomation.com/support-files/ .
Connect the PC’s serial port or the USB-to-Serial adaptor to the port labeled MJ1 on the
XLE/XLT.
The instructions are similar to using a USB port, as shown above. In the Connection Wizard,
select the “Serial” option.
If communications are successful, the target indicator should show the mode of the controller
Target: yy(R) as shown in this chapter, Section 15.3.
If the controller is not communicating, you may need to set the target ID of the controller in
Cscape or on the unit. The Target ID allows directing communications to a particular unit
when multiple units are connected via a CsCAN network. Units without CsCAN network ports
respond to any network ID and do not require the ID to be configured.
To check or change the ID on the XLE/XLT OCS, press the UP and DOWN keys on the XLE/XLT
simultaneously to enter the System Menu. The first item in the menu is Set Network ID. Pressing
Enter allows you to vie or modify the ID of the unit.
To change the Target ID of Cscape use the Controller → Set Target Network ID dialog.
When connected directly to the controller to which Cscape
communications are required, the Local ID and the Target
ID should match.
