5. How to start-up with SM-USB-Module?
•Install USB-Driver (from USB-Stick) for Windows XP or older, latest Windows will
automatically install the driver, during first connection
•Connect the SM-USB to the PC and the installation will be accomplished automatically
•Install IMKO-Software (SONO-Config or TRIME-Tool) from USB-Stick or
www.imko.de/software
•Check the settings of the COM-Port in the device manager and setup the specific COM-
Port in the software (COM1-COM15 possible) or activate “Automatically search the port”
in the settings of the software
•Connect your sensor to the SM-USB either via RS485 or via IMP-Bus
•Run software and Scan bus
•The sensor has to be shown in the module list
Please note, all wiring for power supply is our suggestion for initial testing, in the practical
application commonly the sensor is supplied with power out of the PLC, in this case the
connection can be established by just connecting the two communication wires!
