1 GXE Access Installation :

T he operation of MODBUS communication t ool for GXE (GXE Access) requires GXE Access application and LabVIEW runt ime engine.

Because GXE Access and LabVIEW Runtime Engine installer are integrated,

they are installed at the same time by the following procedure.

It has been confirmed that Windows 7 (64/32 bit) and Windows 10 can operate in our environment .

1.1 GXE Access Installation

GXE Access is provided as a compressed file (Zip format).

After decompressing the compressed file, installing GXE Access is started by executing "setup.exe".

in the subfolder "Volume" of the decompression destinat ion.

Follow t he instructions on the screen.

Select installation directory, click "Next >>".

※

A license agreement screen will be displayed.

1.2 Connection with GXE

When connecting multiple GXEs to the system, each GXE must have a unique slave ID.

Before installing in the system, set the functions of each GXE so that the slave IDs do not overlap.

T o do the setup, connect your P C and GXE one to one with RS-485 line and execute GXE access on PC.

Refer to "4.2 GXE communication setting" for operation method.

Prepare USB

⇔

RS-485 convert er for PC by yourself.

It can be used as long as it is an RS-485 converter compatible with half duplex communication and automatic transmission control.

T he USB

⇔

RS-485 converter we confirmed the operation is "USB-003 of Human Data Ltd."

Refer to the instruction manual of the converter and GXE for information of connector / cable wire diameter etc. used for connection.

・

Connection

Be sure to connect CN84 and then USB cable in order. After complete the connection, apply the input voltage to GXE.

While the voltage is inputted to GXE or while communication tool is running, please do not

disconnect communicat ion line, attach / detach connector etc. etc.

Even if the input voltage is cut off, there is a possibility that electric charge may remain at the output terminal.

Be careful when removing the communication line.

1.3 Activation the GXE Access

After installation process has finished, "GXE Access" is registered in Windows start menu.

Select an application from the following location in Windows start manu.
