Title
ATTENTION: Only personnel familiar with
SCANport devices and the associated machinery should
plan or implement the installation, start-up,
configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the
product using a 1203-SSS converter. Failure to comply
may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Risk of severe bodily injury or
equipment damage exists. The Comm Flt Action (4)
parameter allows the user to change the default
configuration that would allow the converter and
associated drive to continue to operate if I/O
communication is lost. Precautions should be taken to
assure that your settings for these parameters and your
application do not create a hazard of bodily injury or
equipment damage.

Overview of the 1203-SSS
Converter
Chapter 1 provides an overview of your 1203-SSS converter. In this
chapter, you will read about the following:
•
How the 1203-SSS converter works.
•
Parts of the 1203-SSS converter.
•
Required equipment and tools.
The 1203-SSS converter provides a temporary electronic
communications interface between a personal computer with a serial
port and any single SCANport product.
The serial connection to the 1203-SSS uses a full-duplex RS-232 DF1
protocol. This protocol is used by various software packages,
including DriveTools32™ and DriveExplorer™, to connect to
SCANport products.

Chapter 2 provides the information that you need to install the
1203-SSS converter. In this chapter, you will read about the
following:
•
Tools and equipment needed for the installation.
•
Selecting cables for SCANport and serial connections.
•
Installing the converter.
•

To install your 1203-SSS converter, you will need the following:
•
1203-SSS converter.
•
Appropriate cables for SCANport and serial connections. Refer to
the “Selecting Cables” section in this chapter.
To connect the 1203-SSS converter to the SCANport product and
computer, you must use the appropriate SCANport and serial cables.
The 1203-C10 SCANport cable and 1203-SFC serial cable that are
shipped with each converter are all you should need to connect any
SCANport product to a computer.
Important: If you are connecting the converter to a hand-held
personal computer (HPC) or PalmPC running Windows CE™, you
must purchase an additional null cable converter (1203-SNM) or any
standard PC null cable with two male 9-pin sub-miniature D
connectors.
Important: To provide proper termination of the 1203-SFC cable
shield, the chassis of the PC should be properly grounded. If this is
not possible or practical, then a ground wire should be connected to
the 1203-SFC shield at the shell of the 9-pin sub-miniature D
connector.

Installing Your 1203-SSS Converter
The following instructions explain how to physically install your
1203-SSS converter.
1. Connect the 1203-C10 SCANport cable to the SCANport product
and the converter.
To connect the cable to the converter, align the pins on the cable
with the holes in the SCANport connection and then insert the
SCANport cable. The cable will click into a locked position.
Important: Because the converter receives its power from the
SCANport product, the SCANport product must be powered for the
converter to work.

Appendix Objectives
Appendix B provides information on the 1203-SSS converter’s
parameters. In this appendix, you will read about the following:
Factory-Default Settings
•
Factory-default settings for the converter.
•
Parameters in the converter.
The factory-default settings of the 1203-SSS converter enable the
following functions:
•
Node address of 1.
•

Description
Determines the action the converter should instruct the
SCANport product to take if the converter detects a
communication problem. This parameter is active only if
control I/O is enabled.
Important: If you change the value of this parameter, the
user application may not be able to control the product after
a fault.
ATTENTION: Risk of severe bodily injury or equipment
damage exists. The Comm Flt Action (4) parameter allows
the user to change the default configuration that would allow
the converter and associated drive to continue to operate if
communication is lost. Precautions should be taken to
assure that your settings for these parameters and your
application do not create a hazard of bodily injury or
equipment damage.
