12. MMI Port Use / GSD Files
The PBDP-110 Profibus Interface is equipped with an on-board RS232 Man-Machine
Interface (MMI) port. This port allows the unit to communicate to a standard personal
computer via its serial (COM) port. This can be accomplished by using the 2-meter
DB9-to-RJ45 MMI port cable provided with your interface kit.
Current support for the MMI port is provided by the free ICC FlashLoader utility,
which runs on Microsoft Windows platforms. This utility allows the interface’s internal
flash memory to be upgraded in the field, providing alternative control data, new
parameter access, and future drive series support.
We are continually striving to enhance the functionality and flexibility of our products,
and therefore periodically release new embedded firmware to achieve these goals
and meet customer requests. The FlashLoader utility, usage instructions, new flash
firmware files and all related documentation (such as updated user manuals and
GSD files) can be downloaded as complete support packages from
http://www.iccdesigns.com
. It is suggested that you check this internet site prior to
installation, and then periodically afterwards to determine if new support packages
have been released and are available to upgrade your interface unit.
