Using Pro-Motion
3.1 Communication
When Pro-Motion is started (or file/new is selected) the Navigator-PC/104 card communication
interface is selected via the interface selection dialog. Make sure the interface setting matches your
hardware configuration. Click OK to proceed to the axis setup wizard.
If the serial interface (COM port) is selected in the interface selection dialog, the serial communication
configuration screen is displayed.
Make sure the optional serial cable is connected from the host computer’s COM port to the Navigator-PC/104
card. Set the serial interface parameters a according to the settings on the Navigator-PC/104 card and the host
COM port settings. In order for Pro-Motion to control the motion processor, the Diagnostic port mode must be
set to full. Note that some functions of the program may react slowly due to the slower data rate of the serial
interface.
