Configuration
Step 1: Connect the device to your PC
Connect the device to your PC with the cable that matches the communication
port of the device (1) and your PC. Make sure the connection is secure. Kindly
note that the cable is not included in the price and must be purchased
separately.
Step 2: Open the Xemex P1MB configurator on your PC.
Open the Xemex P1MB configuration application on your PC. If the input fields
are gray and therefore not editable, go to step 3. If the input fields are
white and therefore editable, continue to step 5.
Step 3: Identify the port number
The USB serial port adapter you connected is assigned a serial port number by
your PC. Go to Device Manager on your PC to identify this serial port number.
You can access the Device Manager through ControlPanel or through My Computer,
then select Properties to go to Device Manager.
Step 4: Configure the communication settings of the device with those of
your PC
Click Read current P1MB configuration. In the pop-up window Read current P1MB
configuration via P1, at P1 COM port, read the communication port that the
device communicates with. It should be the same as the port number identified
in step 3 in Device Manager. If not, change the communication port in this
popup window. Click OK to save your changes.
Step 5: Enter the desired parameters
You can now enter the desired parameters in the fields. Do not change the
parameters P1 baud rate and P1 line settings. Changing these parameters will
prevent the operation of the P1MB.
Modbus baud rate
Enter the desired baud rate (range: 1200 … 115200). All devices connected to
the bus must use the same baud rate. The protocol does not specify a specific
baud rate. The default value is 9600 baud. Modbus line settings
