5 Establishing a PC – XC100 connection
This section describes the measures that are required to link a PC
to the XC100, so that the PC can be used as a programming device
(hardware and software).
Establishing a connection via the RS232 interface (XC100)
Communication is made through the RS232 serial interface, which
is not isolated via optocouplers. You can use either the COM1 or
the COM2 port for the PC interface. Please use the programming
cable XT-232-SUB-D/RJ45 to make the physical connection.
Programming cable
The programming cable is made up as shown below:
XSoft software
Use XSoft to define the communication parameters:
X Call up the menu item ‹Online r Communication Parameters›
in XSoft, and select the COM1 or COM2 interface.
X Preselect the values indicated in figure 58.
You can alter the default values by making a double-click on the
entered value.
Communication fault(#0): Logging off
A connection can not be established between the programming PC
and the XC100, please check:
• the physical connection
• the baud rate of the communication parameters in the XSoft
• the baud rate in the XC100 (set as default to 38400 kBit/s)
• the baud rate of the CAN connection if the CAN fieldbus is used.
• that the interface parameters in the XSoft and in the XC100
correspond!
