12. Connection to a Computer


Before you connect the controller and computer install the driver software for
the USB programming adapter (Conrad order No. 197339) and then the
controller software.
• First remove the controller's plastic cover by lifting it
upwards. To do so, press the individual attachment notches
on the edge of the housing slightly inwards so that the
cover comes away from the base of the unit.
• Connect the "PROG" socket on the controller (see figure
on the right) to a free USB port on the computer using the
programming adapter.
Windows recognises the new hardware when it is
connected for the first time and completes the installation
of the required drivers.
• In the Windows Control Panel (in Device Manager) you can check which COM port has been
assigned to the USB programmer (in the figure below it is "COM3"). This COM port should
be set after the software starts (see chapter 13), so that the software can make a connection
with the controller via the USB programmer.
