4.3.2.2.1 How to start
To change device settings, watch on-line measurements or analyse memory data, the communication connection must be
established between personal computer and the device or devices network.
At first, the physical connection of the device (or device network) and the computer communication port (serial, USB...) is
necessary. For correct connection check additional information in Chapter 5.5.2. To establish communication,
communication settings must match communication settings of the device.
Serial communication (RS-232 / RS-485)
Every device in the network must have its own unique
communication address. For serial communication this
is defined with numbers between 1 and 247. Factory
default setting is 33. If more devices with the same
address are in the same network, communication will
not work correctly.
Enter communication address of the device into the
field Address in toolbar and click on Refresh button
(or keyboard F5). When communication is established,
the icon and device type appears beside the field with
address.
Ethernet communication
Devices with Ethernet communication have DHCP IP
addressing enabled by default. If IP address and port is
not known you can use browse Ethernet devices tool to
find the device. Click on Refresh button (or
keyboard F5). When communication is established, the
icon and device type appears beside the field with
address.
USB communication
When device with USB communication is connected to a
computer for the first time, device driver will be
installed automatically. If installation is correct device
presents it-self in an operating system (Device manager
- Ports (COM and LPT)) as Protection device. If device is
not recognized automatically or wrong driver is
installed, valid drivers are located in MiQen installation
directory, subdirectory Drivers for manual installation.
You can use Find USB button in communication port
settings form – tab USB, which can be accessed by
choosing Change settings in Connection section.
When communication is established, the icon and
device type appears beside the field with the address.
When the address or communication parameters of the connected devices aren’t known, you can use
searching tools to search for all connected devices.
The list of favourite connections allows easy choice of the device when multiple devices with different
communication settings are used.
For easier access to devices settings and downloaded or recorded files, devices can be added to My
devices list.
