4.2.2 Connecting the FLOWSIC600 via RS485/USB converter
If the PC/laptop does not offer a RS232 serial interface, a USB interface can be used. An
appropriate USB converter is necessary to transform the signal for the RS485 device
interface. The USB converter available through SICK contains a CD-ROM with a software
driver which must be installed before an online connection between the FLOWSIC600 and
the MEPAFLOW600 CBM software can be established.
