2PC system bus adapter EN 1.1
1 Preface and general information
The PC system bus adapter is a communication module for data transfer between a target system
(drive controller, Drive PLC, etc.) and a PC via the system bus (CAN). Two types are available:
•The PC system bus adapter 2173 is the classic type. It is connected to the parallel interface
(LPT port/printer connection) of the PC or notebook.
•The PC system bus adapter 2177 can be used for PCs & notebooks with a USB port (Universal
Serial Bus).
This type is recommended for notebooks which do not have a parallel interface for printer
connection.
Note!
This Manual contains information
•about the software installation of the device drivers required for the PC system bus adapters
and
•the software configuration of the PC system bus adapters using the system bus
configuration tool from Lenze.
Information about the mechanical/electrical connection of the PC system bus adapters can be found
in the corresponding Mounting Instructions for the PC system bus adapters.
